    Induction smelter automation

    Until Logistic Pipes comes out, we have a loop setup for all our machines where the pipe loops back to the source chest that's being extracted.

    Electrical Engine has opened my eyes

    Are you still extracting energy from the Electrical Engine with a Wooden Conductive Pipe?

    EE3

    Plus, EE3 is going to have different mechanics than EE2.

    Efficient EU Production?

    They're called Iron Tanks and they're from the Railcraft mod. Requires quite a bit of iron in a rolling machine to make one: http://railcraft.wikispaces.com/Iron+Tank+%28Device%29

    Insertion Pipe Placeholder

    I can definitely attest to having major lag with many items in a pipe on a small server my friend had hosted on his own home server. I've never seen it explode though with all those items, even when we finally jumped to an official server host. Can't wait for Logistics Pipes to be released.

    Iridium Ore

    I haven't done much with CC or Turtles, but since I don't know how to code, I like the set-it-and-forget it of quarries. They're easy to build and set up, they have their own chunkloader for the entire quarrt and they're faster with more power. Plus, I have a whole set up of sorting and...

    Steve's Carts Question

    Yep, just as they said above. The other thing we did was link a regular minecart to it and sat in it as it pulled us along while we went afk. Threw in a torch placer to keep the tunnel well-lit, and didn't have any problems. Alternately you can even add a Shooter module to protect you while...

    Efficient EU Production?

    Hmm, interesting as I've never built those before. Reading up on it, a tiny bit of wood produces a lot of scaffolds which can be burned for quite a bit of EU (http://wiki.industrial-craft.net/index.php?title=Generator). It certainly would be easier and less complex that way.

    Efficient EU Production?

    I would post a screenshot, but I'm unable to connect to FTB atm. It's a zig zap-type loop in a 14x14 shape (not sure exact dimensions) with the Cargo Manager at one end. The tree cutter cart is powered with a coal engine running on tree wood itself, so it never runs out of fuel since it refills...

    Efficient EU Production?

    We found the same issue with lack of coal in our server, so we jumped into powering with Forestry. It's a bit more complex, but it's definitely unique and can give you a challenge. Saplings + Fertilizer (from Apatite Ore) --> Fermenter = Biomass. Biomass itself can be used to power a Bio...

    Oil Spurts and Geyzers

    Oil generates more frequently in desert biomes.

    Crystallizer

    It's from the Factorization mod (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1351802-145-factorization-073-polished/). It's the final piece of a long process to triple final ore output per ore block (see Machines and Ore Processing in that thread).

    Railcraft Iron Tanks

    Well, wouldn't 9x9x9 then be the new max size? The default max is 7x7x8, I think, which comes out to about 6.4 million units of liquid storage.

    Iridium Ore

    Ahh, good to know. I've heard that you can delete ages in the files of the server to save on space. I think I have to go around to do that.

    Iridium Ore

    I've created probably 40+ ages worlds, both random and customized and I have not found the Dense Ores symbol. What are the odds of having a world with it so I can put it in my Notebook?

    Is there a Buildcraft Energy storage device?

    Appreciate this. Just hopped on our server after missing a day or two and saw that all our MJ-producing stuff was dry, so had to restart some things. Good to know that I can use this to store extra MJ

    Gregtech recipes = ridiculous?

    I'm curious how people go about into starting out in GregTech. I have quite a bit of ores and base machines of IC2. including the Industrial Centrifuge, but where do you guys start with the other GT stuff? I have some extra diamonds and lapotron crystals, but a lot of recipes require iridium, of...

    Dimensional Chunkloading?

    World anchors do work, as well as anchor sentinels, but anchor carts do not, in my experience. Anyone able to get anchor carts to work?

    Buildcraft Changes of Note

    Ahh, good to hear. In my older playtime with Buildcraft, I was bummed that chest loot was lot if it came across a dungeon or abandoned mine.
