    How to increase EU/t?

    I've tried looking this up on the wiki, but it didn't give much info. Currently I have an energy setup with 12 Thermal Generators, wired up to an MFE with 2x insulated gold cables. I need at least 128 EU/t, but I'm a little short at about 122 EU/t. How do I increase this EU/t? Is it...

    How to increase heat capacity of Industrial Blast Furnace?

    Right now I have mine with all Reinforced Machine Casings (which were a pain to get) and two lava blocks inside. It's 2200K ATM, but I need 2500K to smelt tungsten dust. So how do I increase the heat capacity?

    Lava Pumping Station in Ultimate?

    400? o_O I thought I was pretty well off with my 12 little thermals...

    Lava Pumping Station in Ultimate?

    I just have mine automatically feeding into industrial centrifuges w/ liquiducts. It eats it up pretty quick, and you get a nice supply of copper, tin, electrum, and tungsten from it too.

    Why Does Everyone Care So Much About Expense

    Well, I play with the Mindcrack modpack so no Mystcraft for me. Most of the resources are fully renewable though, especially with GregTech and ExtraBees. I don't really care too much about how expensive a recipe is, but if IC2 decides to freak out and disintegrate everything that I just made...

    [Tutorial] How To Get Lots Of Redstone Energy (MJ) Early

    I shut it off temporarily because my Iron Tank was getting too full. Even if it's not the most efficient setup for energy, it is getting me tons of copper and tin that I'm always short of so that's all good. And another addition to my list of butthurt-people-who-had-their-arguments-defeated...

    [Tutorial] How To Get Lots Of Redstone Energy (MJ) Early

    Um yeah, I'm not having any problems with my energy setup so I really didn't need you to bash on me. How is my personal opinion "wrong"? "Aside from that many regard it as cheesy..." I'm not seeing the word "personal opinion" here.

    [Tutorial] How To Get Lots Of Redstone Energy (MJ) Early

    Thanks for clearing it up, it makes more sense than calling it just "cheesy". However, I think the best thing about FTB is that there's multiple ways to approach a problem. For energy, you could: - Use the Forestry mod and convert Biofuel into EU - Use IC2 and set up an array of solar panels -...

    [Tutorial] How To Get Lots Of Redstone Energy (MJ) Early

    Were we talking about strictly multiplayer-compatible energy systems? :/ I think the Chunk Loader would be causing more lag than the light calculations, but even on my craptop it runs just fine. How is it cheesy though?

    A question about bees

    Throughout my bee-breeding, I've noticed that all my bees, pure or hybrid, flyer or nocturnal, mundane or valiant, they all produce one princess bee. And when I get an occasional hybrid princess bee, then it means one less princess in my collection at my disposal. I've been just flying over my...

    [Tutorial] How To Get Lots Of Redstone Energy (MJ) Early

    I just got myself set for all EU and MJ with a Pump in the Nether and a Liquid Tesseract wired to Thermal Generators and Electric Engines. Takes some time, but it's one of the best and most hands-free ways to get power IMO.

    I need iridium

    Platinum makes iridium? Huh, I must have missed that somewhere. o_O Well, I'll certainly try that out. Thanks guys.

    I need iridium

    I'm at the point of the game now where I have gotten everything I can, including ExtraBees, Thaumcraft, and Twilight Forest. Except iridium. I decided that my thermal generators weren't enough to power my industrial blast furnace, so I decided to take the solar panel route. I need...

    My Gregtech machines turn into weird cubes...and the game crashes

    I tried installing OptiFine and messing around with the graphics settings, and it definitely helped. The glitch itself still happens though. (if it's a glitch)

    My Gregtech machines turn into weird cubes...and the game crashes

    Whenever I come back to my home, all my Gregtech machines (industrial centrifuge, industrial electrolyzer, automatic wiremill, etc) turn into these same weird cube blocks. If I try to right click on them, the game crashes; if I leave it alone for about 2-3 minutes, they revert back to their...

    WTF? Electrical engines explode?

    No, the Thermal generators were fine. The only machines that survived the explosion were the Thermal generators, the Iron tank, and the Redstone energy cell. Ok, I'll try that. Thanks!

    WTF? Electrical engines explode?

    I was working on pulverizing some tin ore, and BOOM! My electrical engines explode, disintegrating all my IC2 machines and Thermal expansion machines near it, as well as myself and my inventory. I thought Electrical engines weren't supposed to explode? (It even says it on the wiki!) My...

    How do I take overclockers OUT of an industrial centrifuge?

    I looked at the recipes and man, so much invar >.< But yeah, I'll try Thermal Generators out. (One question: will the Thermals blow up my compressors and extractors?)
