You can devote multiple (big) rooms for various mods. A few examples: An Ars Magica room A Thaumcraft room Ore processing room (RotaryCraft, IndustrialCraft, Mekanism, whatever you like for ore processing) AE system with big crafting room Animal farms Plant farms Mob farms ...

Shafts can also be rotated vertically.

True but smoothstone is what I have most at the moment :-)

Ok, I think I may have come up with a solution but I still have to implement it. I'll try to explain it here though. When I get some time to build it I'll let you know if it worked: First connect a single chest to the three extractors with a TE item conduit that is set to need a redstone...

No it stays there forever.

Actually I do that a lot since RF is very easy to transport everywhere including other dimensions. So I have several energy production machines (some RoC, one Big Reactors) which all feed into my main power tesseract and then I can convert that RF back into whatever I want (including RoC power)...

BigReactors is an easy way to easily get 11000 rf/tick (a 7x7 reactor can do that). You can also use ReactorCraft for even more RF/tick but it is a bit more complicated. With RotaryCraft you can use other energy production too like jet fuel engine, hydrokinetic engine and so on.

Thank for all the replies so far. I'm considering it a challenge now to solve this problem even though I'm fully aware that there are many easier solutions that you proposed above. Nevertheless I'd like to try to solve the queue problem. If only for the challenge (for me that's what MC is about...

With magical crops you can actually 'grow' a lot of the ingredients needed for jet fuel production. I haven't done it yet but it is in my todo.

Hmm that's actually an idea. I would use OpenComputers though as that is what I have installed and I would obviously write the program myselves :-) But first I'll try other solutions. Thanks for the hints so far in any case.

Well I'm not sure it is a one time problem given that some ores are more rare then others. For example, diamond ore might never get a chance to be processed because there will always be more common ores sitting in the extractors. Anyway, I like the challenge of solving this so I will try anyway...

Well the problem is that my RoC borer machines have been running for a long time already (they are permanently on). I have more then 5000 ores of almost any type (iron, gold, copper, tin, ...). I'm sure there must be a way to design a kind of 'pipe' to enforce that stacks of ore alternate...

I have two automatic borer machines from RoC set up in the overworld and so far they have mined about 300000 smoothstone and 3 pitchblende so that gives an idea of how rare it is :-) But it does spawn in the overworld somewhere at least.

Hi all, I'm trying to find a good solution for automatic ore processing. I have a series of three extractors (from RotaryCraft, they do approx 5x ore multiplication) which I'd like to use on various types of ores. At this moment I'd like to stay with three extractors because I don't have...

I keep my big MC todo organized in a google drive document. That way I can access it everywhere I happen to be and have internet :-)

I would advice against this as well. It is best to start fresh and get all the ores and new world generation you get with the mods.

Magical Crops has pretty good food if you can get a good farm going (tomatoes, peppers, ...). You can craft them into food that gives generation.

Actually it is not only power for power's sake. RotaryCraft has plenty of machines that require a great deal of power. I'm also uing Big Reactors right now and I just barely manage with my limited amount of RoC machines that I have but when I'm going to expand my base I will at some point need...

Hi all, First an introduction and explanation for this thread. As my (mostly tech based) base gets bigger and more complicated my performance gets lower. Of course this is to be expected. More machines means more things to render and more things to compute. However, with modded MineCraft there...

I do a bit of everything. I like to explore from time to time. I like to mine from time to time but most of the time I like expanding on my heavy tech based base. I occasionally also do a bit of magic stuff but tech interests me more atm.
