That's originally how I was going to do my TurtleDelivery Warehouse; pass everything through an interactive sorter, create a count of what I have, and use that to direct it to the proper row for additional sorting via pipes and barrels. Now I'm going to try using AE + openCCsensors. Use an...

The MiscPeripherals interactive sorter would be an excellent solution without using AE. If Mindcraft has the 3.1 version, it will cast real item IDs, making set-up much simpler. Just feed the items into the sorter, store the data, and display it somewhere. If you have a particularly large...

Tesla coils! Also an effective method for rapid ghast grinding.

Ever so much RedPower. It made my really simple redstone contraptions, like doorbells and night-lighting, so much more fun to build.

That sounds right to me. It can also be made in a moistener, though that is an added layer of complexity. I would love something like an igneous extruder, perhaps priming it with an existing block of mossy cobble, to allow me to compact my moss gen into a smaller space.

Never used Industrial Craft beyond a way to power electrical engines.

I've been powering my current world entirely from bees. EU from energetic bees (they cause lightning) and a bio-generator filling honey crystals; MJ from fuel bees. I'm even doing biomass from fruity bees (juice), fungal (mushrooms) and/or rural/farmed bees (wheat/plantballs), and spoiled...

Mossy cobble is pretty easy to generate now, without even needing machines; just cobble, a moss stone, and water. I have stacks and stacks of the stuff to make walls with.

Portal spawners: I always seem to run into dungeons full of them. Otherwise, a fat spiral staircase for looks with a 3x3 central pillar containing a 1x1 shaft, which gets arcane levitators put in once I've researched them. For sheer speed, which I rarely need in my FTB worlds, I do a...

I'll be rather excited about the logic block, if its lag claims turn out to be true and it plays well with RP2 stuff. The huge number of timers I use tend to be mighty lag factories.

I've never had my cart pull saplings or wood to fuel it, even when I forget to prime it with charcoal. Perhaps change your dump/refuel order, so it drains storage before refueling; though that would add increased complexity since it would refuel from the manager rather than internally.

Or both! AE will happily interface with barrels. I tend to use barrels for huge stacks of stuff (building materials, ingots, etc), and AE chests for misc junk. Then just open up an interface in my crafting area. AE is an excellent remote item request system; let me dump my laggy as all get...

They're a bit more complicated, so I suggest the wiki: http://forestry.sengir.net/wiki.new/doku.php

What it will do is place a ring of dirt around itself in a 15x15 square with a 9x9 empty square in the middle. I placed my various farms right next to their harvester counterparts. However, from everything I've seen, these farms will be removed at some point, so its worth experimenting with...

Its going to be in Extra Trees, which isn't nearly finished yet. It was mentioned in a DW20 S4 video; apparently theres going to be ~8000 possible combinations, which is mind boggling.

Its a confirmed bug. Leave the age, delete the region files, and renter it. That seems to make it generate correctly.

I've used it to store supplies on a server where we are all admins, mostly for pranks or little surprises. Makes it a lot easier to hide WIP shenanigans in that instance, without having to literally hide them.

Depends on play style. Usually when I'm at advanced alloy, I've started the changeover to a steam based infrastructure (100 eu/t and 8 mj/t), which then ultimately leads to fusion (all the EU!) and bluetricity (32mj/t). But I tend to do a Thermal Expansion/Forestry heavy style, rather than IC2.

I've been running geothermal generators fed off a liquid tesseract to the Nether. I feed the Nether pumping station off an energy tesseract, which is fed by an array of magmatic engines. The tesseracts allow for VERY compact systems; my pumping station fits in a 2x1x2 area. That's held me...

There's plans in the works for soul powered contrapulations, such as tools and armors. The first teaser of this was in DW20s S4E9 SMP LP, 22 minutes in. The soul holder thingy is stunning; one of my favorite looking mod blocks.
