Thanks! I didn't know about either of those features. Off to breeding!

I have searched countless dungeons...countless. I have an iron chest full of just logic matrix programmers, music disks, and saddles, if that gives you a sense. As an aspiring apiarist, the lack of steadfast drones is, as you might imagine, rather frustrating. Anyway...given the amount of...

As above posters have said, the first step in GT is the industrial blast furnace. As CodaPDX pointed out, the challenge is really not in building the machine - it takes less resources than you think, considering that each casing recipe yields 4. All you need is a good foundation in basic...

Anyway...back on topic... Thanks for the responses. I can't seem to find the recipes in NEI - anyone else finding this? How do you mark a side of a machine? And how do the GUIs work (what do the electricity button, arrow button do)?

Does anybody have any information on the new alloy smelter, automatic canning machine, wiremill, automatic furnace/macerator/extractor/compressor/recycler, and digital chests? Greg seems to have provided only short descriptions in the changelog, and some of them sound pretty interesting. I'm...

(I assume you know how to use the cargo manager). The sides of the cargo distributor are marked with colors, , just like the cargo manager. You can drag the different symbols from the bottom to the different colored rows to indicate the inventory in the cargo manager that the pipe system...

Make stacks and stacks of igneous extruders, feed them all into recyclers, and burn the scrap in generators.

Has anybody tested Greg's new digital chests?

Try the mindcrack pack ;)

You need to install 64-bit java, and then the slider will open up past 1 GB

If you are playing the Direwolf20 pack, go ahead and start a new Mindcrack world. That will keep you occupied for a while. ;)

In bee breeding, when you discover a new species, your number one goal is to get a pure pair - that is, a pure princess and a pure drone. Pure princesses for forest, meadows, etc. can come from hives, but they CAN also be bred. Imperial bees, for example, cannot be found in the wild. The only...

Check some of the other recipes too. Greg moved a lot of old industrial centrifuge recipes onto the newer industrial electrolyzer, so this problem might come up again if you're used to the old GT. The main difference between the machines is that the electrolyzer takes MV and runs much faster...

Honestly, I just fill my extra-dimensional barrels and void the rest. I then hook up an igneous extruder to a single non-upgraded recycler, which feeds directly to my GT matterfabricator and keeps up perfectly. Unless you want to start using scrapboxes, there's not much point IMO.

I'm really interested in this now (I'm at the stage where I should be thinking about this too), but I really really really want to use redpower instead of buildcraft, like, cultishly. It MUST be better with redpower! :p I've been playing around with this in creative...you can get around this...

I have not gotten to the point of serious bee automation right now (I don't plan as much as you do!), but my inclination is to use redpower, redpower, redpower. It's a little uglier, but what you probably could do with apiaries is craft a sorting machine for each one, and plug that into the top...

I already have that - what I don't have is that much power :P

Hey guys, one more thing. I noticed that sometimes, when you charge a serum in a synthesizer from zero, it gives you a charge but still keeps excellent quality. So I've been cheating my way out of using the purifier by charging it once and then innoculating, then charging it once etc.

If I remember correctly, a slimeball in a furnace yields a sticky resin which can be extracted into 3 rubber (or more in an industrial centrifuge if you use the Mindcrack pack). You can also extract it straight away for two rubber.

Another option to look at if you're looking for rubber is farming up a tier-5 slime soul shard. It takes a little more effort on your part initially, but it's MUCH cheaper, requires no power, and is a set-it-up-and-forget-it system. Slime soul shards also fill up very quickly, as one large slime...
