    Pipes. Again.

    More fully upgraded pumps feeding into a manifold intake for your boiler? But for your single source block needs, as much as I dislike using it, the dang CfB sink can't be beat...but she doesn't output. Not sure of your modpack but some of the suggestions mentioned above should be available.

    @Golrith Separating rain from sleep or just outright stopping the rain? If its the latter you can use Botania's teru teru bozu, EnderIO's weather obelisk or Draconic's celestial manipulator for weather control. @DEL 707 Hammers rock for that stage, you can increase their width and height...

    Pipes. Again.

    Super Lams are indeed very nice but a little finicky in that they must remain pressurized (fully filled- 8000mb per duct piece) to maintain their infinite throughput. This is great for sources that pump or auto-output at high volume. If the consumer pulls more than the producer they will lose...

    Age of Engineering Series!

    GamerwithnoGame - The AA digger will normally work for dimensional shards in 'harvest all' mode. The issue is that by default, the vertical digger in 'ore only' mode, mines everything that starts with 'ore' in the oredict, whereas shards are registered as dimensional_shard_ore. Benitoite also...

    ExU2 has the chunk loading ward for 3x3 loads. Be carefull with FTBUtils loader, many people are reporting random unloads when used over 25 chunks (50 is max advertised).

Or if you don't have many items from portalgun in...

    [1.10.2] Age of Engineering

    No idea really. Discord support gurus are looking into this. There are enough run-on errors to suggest re-downloading the pack. Curse is also forcing you to use java 1.8.0_25 which can cause a crash with the IE manual. To fix use the updated java versions instead of the one minecraft comes...

    [1.10.2] Age of Engineering

    @Dranith Have you added Dynamic Surroundings by any chance? It does not get along with IC2 sounds for reasons. Do your logs have any reference to paulscode crashing at the time of sound loss? Disabling IC2 machine sounds by setting 'enableIc2Audio = false' in configs is a place to start, might...

    Keep in mind that a fuel gobbling reactor will produce upwards of 8 times the blutonium, now that's efficiency! Considering that yellorium is available in near voidable quantities and there are many other options for exuberant power, one might consider using a little wasteful scrub reactor just...

    [1.10.2] Age of Engineering

    Focusing is difficult, so much to do. Actually for me it is one of the many allures to this pack. In what seems a rather linear progression, you have tremendous latitude in what you want to focus on, or which means you will use to accomplish your goals. At this point, one needs to be thinking...

    Ahh, that 1st machine frame for RFTools. Mine went straight into the recipe for pattern storage. 2nd one was sacrificed to the scanner. Haven't had to craft any since. Spent like 20 seconds in the entire age. This seemingly fast move was the result of my ineptitude in realizing the...

    Double check your controller type.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I think for Mek, if you limit its power generation and use to its own nonconvertible units (Joules) it could work much better within a pack context. I believe it integrated well into the AoE pack for instance.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Yah, short range definitely wins. Just thinking, a range 8 burst will get to its target at the same time as the 8th burst from a range 1 spreader. There is probably some burst generation time loss but this ratio holds reasonably true. I like to keep things out at range 2 or more for the light...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Its definitely doable, unless your pack has made significant changes to 'vanilla' botania. The key is actually in Gamer's comment- 'a spreader can fire again once the previous burst has hit'. The best way to get mucho mana to a destination is with a close spreader, lenses be dammed. In your...

    Help me pick my next pack!

    Did you have a bird nest in inventory when returning? That should jar him into his next steps. I think he only had 2 quest lines with only a couple steps each, very great for early game but not much more.

    Issue With RFTools Builder Block mining. FTB Beyond

    Actually RFTools builder will chunkload its own chunk as well as the chunk it is currently working. It must be a problem with power or material transfer. Still a chunkloading issue, just wanted to clarify.

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    @KingTriaxx - What does the IE pump accomplish that a lever over the faucet won't. Still on my first pot of coffee if this ends up being a really stupid question...

    Long range power transfer

    A somewhat earlier game answer might be the extra utilities wireless battery and transmitters. They have limitless range and perform across dimensions but only power items within 4 blocks of the transmitters and only provide 80 RF/t per connected block or machine. They can however be coaxed...

    Sky Factory 3 passive mob question

    The beach should work, but if not try some of the different baits from ex compressum. I believe they work independent of biome but will require some 'tempting' environmental blocks to aid in the luring.
