    Pumping items into a Fermenter

    Cool! That looks great. Do you have an automated wheat farm powering it? Or do you feed it.

    I used managers on the top and bottom.

    kcbanner's FTB LP - Focused on Tech

    I've been doing a Let's Play for a few weeks now. I focus on working up the tech tree while still keeping aesthetics in mind. If you have some time I'd appreciate some feedback! I'll keep my latest episode here. Thanks for watching!

    Is there a way to avoid constant rolling machine drain?

    I noticed the rolling machine goes from 500 MJ to 499 MJ when sitting idle, then fills back up. Is there a way to stop it from draining power when it's not being used?

    Here is how I made my self sufficient automated bio fuel farm, but is that a worthwile EU source?

    I find to filter out different portions of the same item, you need to use a separate sorting machine dedicated to that item. Put it on the mode where it goes from column to column and pulls exact stacks, then on the top mode make it continuous. Put your item in two columns with different colors...

    Are bio generators inefficient when their EU buffers are full?

    Alright, I looked into this. The bio generator buffer seems to hold 30,000 EU. Given one bucket of biofuel, this buffer fills and the bio generator's tank shows "Biofuel" even though you can't see any (just a tiny amount left). If I let a little EU out, then break the cable, then a little more...

    Are bio generators inefficient when their EU buffers are full?

    I'm going to investigate this in a creative world then, I need to know!

    Here is how I made my self sufficient automated bio fuel farm, but is that a worthwile EU source?

    Hm, yea so it looks like using bio generators to make EU is not a good use of my biofuel. I'm going to look into a boiler setup.

    Are bio generators inefficient when their EU buffers are full?

    I have a large tank of biofuel (almost 300k) and I'd like to have multiple bio generators filled and hooked up to an MFE. When the MFE is full and is slightly emptied, will they be burning exactly enough biofuel to fill that up, or will they be burning more? I'm concerned about leaving my...

    Here is how I made my self sufficient automated bio fuel farm, but is that a worthwile EU source?

    Now my question is, should I even be using the biofuel or should I be burning biomass to turn MJ into lava and generate EU that way?

    Manager behavior when backlogged

    I've got two managers, one on a chest filled with saplings and wood, another on the top of a fermenter, set up like this: Fermenter manager: Chest manager: Setup: The behavior I want is to have at least one sapling in the fermenter, if there are more that is fine. I tried to achieve...

    Automated arboretum & fermenter.

    I just updated to v6 of Mindcrack and it seems that the manager now works correctly with the fermenter! It pulls saplings in when the fermenter is empty.

    Automated arboretum & fermenter.

    Yes, that is what I'm doing. I have my saplings going to the arboretum via a red route then a non color route through a restriction tube to catch the rest.

    Automated arboretum & fermenter.

    @Azurl, how do you configure your managers? Do you have one next to the arboretum? I'm having issues with a manager on top of a fermenter not pulling saplings into the fermenter, it takes them out but doesn't put them in when its empty.

    Biogas engines broken?

    I'm having this problem as well, I posted in another thread before I saw this. It seems they randomly come back on but I can't figure out what triggers it.

    Biogas engines locked up when logging in/out in single player

    I've got a few biogas engines powering my farms, and I have the inconvenient problem that they seem to lock up when I exit FTB and come back. The lava is in the reservoir, and the fuel reservoir is full. The heat gauge is full and the redstone signal is on. The heat is full at 550.1C. However...

    Automated arboretum & fermenter.

    Put a Buffer beside the Arboretum and Logger. I have mine like this: X L X X B A X X X L: Logger B: Buffer A: Arboretum I run Buildcraft pipes from the top of the logger into the top of the buffer and from the side of the logger into the side of the buffer. All your outputs (including...
