    Iron chests are "dancing"?

    Holiday feature ;) No, not really. I'm not sure if it is caused by 1.4.6 or forge for 1.4.6, and I think that is what the changelogs refer to when they say "fixed graphical derpiness" but it doesn't seem to be fixed yet. Seems to be benign though.

    What does YOUR Power Room look like?

    Can make mycelium instead of stone too and make a mushroom farm, send the mushrooms off to fermenter as well. Mush farm also makes dirt. Not bad for a setup if you have treefarms and peatbogs as well. One thing not noted on the Forestry wiki, I think it happened around the vanilla changes to...

    Umm...okay, WOW. (BC conductive pipes + Magma Engines)

    Oh, I use Power Converters too, but I never think of converting it back, that is a good idea. I usually wind up with more EU and so I tend to convert it for BC power. TE has actually gotten me more into BC.

    Umm...okay, WOW. (BC conductive pipes + Magma Engines)

    I've managed to do that with a single magmatic and (te) steam engine combo...that's only 6 MJ/tick, or the equivilant of a combustion engine on fuel. The power adds up fast. I really wish the redstone cells were bigger. 600k doesnt take long to produce if you aren't using anything, but it goes...

    Powering Thermal Expansion machines

    That's right Shneekey: Don't forget netherrack in the magma crucible. Making lava out of cobble actually costs more energy than the lava will produce but netherrack is efficient. I tend to use a combination of all the engines, depending what is convenient. Also a single aqueous...

    EE3 is already broken!

    How is it that it is EE's fault? Crafting 2 blaze powder back into a blaze rod? Seems balanced to me. 3 Bonemeal back into a bone? Again it's balanced. If it were the only mod you were using it is very balanced. It isn't EEs fault that you can pulverize or macerate a blaze rod into 4-6 powder...

    Sorting system comparisons

    No, because that would take up sorting slots which are limited. It defeats the purpose. At that point you might as well route them somewhere. What I have found the default route useful for in RP is to chain sorters together. So I use all the slots to send everything to another sorter. The...

    Institutional Hypocrisy: FtB's role in infringing Mojang's copyright.

    Who cares? The same people who care so much about protecting the modders ip but not Mojang's (personally I dont care either, but I think it hypocritical the way some modders and fanbois care only about the 1st but not the 2nd). That was the point of this thread, which I get, but it doesn't...

    Sorting system comparisons

    https://github.com/RS485/LogisticsPipes/wiki/Added-Features Extractor Module Mk3 (extracts a stack per tick, which is really, really fast) Yes, this is from the unofficial update.

    Sorting system comparisons

    Upgraded extraction module. 2 or 3. I think 2 still does singles but is much faster and 3 does a stack at a time. Expensive but if you've got 100 recyclers you can afford it :p It hasn't, it's just people get enthusiastic defending their opinions. Also 1 person is a real jackass since all...

    Sorting system comparisons

    The LP system also can be made more compact, because you can set "sides" on modules you only need to put a single chassis next to any other block. You also dont need to keep seperation between the modules that you may need to with tubes (granted proper use of covers and paint alleviates much of...

    Proper use of redstone energy cell

    Railcraft machines will also continuously bleed power (at least the rolling machine, I dont use the crusher since it is ridiculous compared to pulverizer/macerator) as well. By the time you have a bunch of forestry farms power shouldnt be much of a concern anymore, I just use a single cell for...

    Proper use of redstone energy cell

    Now you got it! I dont know why my images arent showing, I'll fix it when I get home.

    Proper use of redstone energy cell

    Just to make it clear to anyone else who might be interested: Good: Bad: The loop is circled in red. While it wont cause an explosion like BC pipes, it can waste as much as 5MJ/tick (if cell is set to 100/100)
  15. L

    Proper use of redstone energy cell

    Correct. However when you have the cell able to provide and receive from itself it will lose power. I found this out by accident, because I tend to build in tight spaces. Nothing was running, all machines at full charge, engines all shut down and the cell was slowly losing power. Currently by...

    Proper use of redstone energy cell

    Yeah, that's going to waste power. Move the ECell one space to the right so that it isn't touching the conduit supplying the furnace (blue one). So you will have the output conduit on top as you have it. Although we cant see it in the picture, presuming the input to the cell is underneath, move...

    Proper use of redstone energy cell

    Yes and no. Do not connect the input and output sides to each other or it will slowly bleed off power (because of the loss in the conduits) as it emits and recharges itself. So (one of) the correct use(s) is to have engines with conduit supplying the cell and another conduit supplying machines...

    Faithful32x With FTB Addons

    Thermal Expansion Oh, going through the TE textures, they also moved some of the ore, ingots and dusts around so some of the textures are off (that or some of your color choices are...strange). Also missing are the invar (nickel) and shiny (platinum) ingots. King Lemming quietly snuck that...

    Is there a mod that will let you view the world map

    Havent checked out overviewer. Good to know unmined works for 1.4.6 , playing off my crappy laptop right now and I have to run lean. Off-topic: love your site Shneekey. You need to do a redpower guide ;)

    Is there a mod that will let you view the world map

    There is also unmined, which is not a mod but an outside program. http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1171344-142-unmined-fast-live-mapper-tool/page__hl__%20unmined It says 1.4.2 but I have used it with 1.4.5, haven't tried with 1.4.6 yet. I thought it was supposed to be version independent...
