    Forestry Machines

    That's mostly because the author decided that he didn't like his old farms. He gave us quite a long while to adapt to the fact that they would disappear 'soon', and the new farm can be fun to wok with, as it gives so many options. You also don't have to worry about the various types of...

    I'm sorry to sound impatient, but...

    For most people, working out the ID conflicts and even going to each thread and downloading the mods is a pain. FTB, Tekkit, whatever other mod pack you want to mention will all have a significant delay between the release of a mod's new version and its update/addition. It comes down to the...

    What does YOUR Power Room look like?

    Well, the building you built looks way cooler than the original one to me.

    Sugar Coal

    I think this is not meant to actually replace anything, just give more ways to have a bit of energy. I will seriously note this one, because of all the times where I waste coal on cooking 2-4 items and not having planks to spare.

    Talk about bulk processing

    @Bigglesworth: Mainly because I can do this way more compact without using tons of ender chests. Not to mention that using too many ender chests is not recommended in a server environment. I do processing with machines dedicated to a single ore when I really need big volumes, but that's still...

    Talk about bulk processing

    Hello everyone, It's been quite some time since I last played for long enough to get chests of raw ores and cobble that needs to be processed. I once thought that Factorization was a way to prepare ores into a special form, and then stick into a machine that has a long processing time, but...

    Setups/Contraptions to build that produces something

    Making a fully automated tier 5 zombie spawner. The basics is to make all zombies quickly get out of the spawner check range, and drop them to near death. Turtles or other automated killing devices that drop rare drops and experience give the killing blow. (Yes, I know that future versions of...

    Forge: My list of grievances

    I came reading the first post thinking it would be a list of actual facts that made him dislike Forge. There definitely are points that are not all good, and having a factual thread about what could be done better, and how it could be enhanced would definitely not be a bad thing. Sadly, all I...

    lua

    Basically, your dig5 is inside dig4 that is inside dig3 ... That is what embed means. You need to put the 'end' for each function before you start the next one. By the way, do register on pastebin, it lets you edit the content when you manually put it there, so just edit the pastebin directly...

    Bee bug, Don't know what to do with this information

    You are welcome, I guess. I didn't know about it from hopper+centrifuge (because I never tried to process a drone like that), but it is known that there are the same troubles with some RP (I think), as well as factorization's barrels. But just so you know, the versions we are using on the...

    Bees not working on trees

    If I understood correctly, what you are doing wrong is that you put 2 oak, and no other tree types. Just like for bees, the breeding is made by combining different species, so try to put an other forestry-compatible tree (vanilla, saplings from chests...)

    Powering Magma Crucible without Magmatic Engines?

    If you are willing to invest a bit of time into bees, there are bees that permit to create a lot more lava per cobble, and for a lower energy price. I am talking about the two nether branches Infernal and Volcanic. (EDIT: the Fiendish bee is the one that produces the most combs for lava...

    Least laggy power solution?

    This might not be the perfect answer you are looking for, but it is a tip for less laggy builds. The mods machines you use (or 'blocks' that are not just blocks), the more lag it will induce. Also, when talking about IC2 power grid, more packets seems to correlate with higher computation...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    See that "Unwatch thread" link on the top-right of the page? Watch thread is there when you don't recieve notifications, unwatch when you asked for them.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    The major downside in wanting to use cobble from quarries is that you need to pass it through your system first. Usually, that means a sorting system of sorts. That means that it could potentially slow your whole sorting system. That is why some people decide to void what they don't need from...

    For All Who Want TerraFirmaCraft In FTB

    TerraFirma Craft is a total conversion mod. It changes most of minecraft and how it works, in an attempt to make for a more "realistic" survival experience. You have to knap stone for basic tools, and many more blocks are not usable as building blocks (dirt, sand, gravel, cobble...) It can...

    Fast Transport

    That reminds me, power gauntlet's blink drive might be just what you are looking for.

    New Ultimate Base(My Project Thread)

    If you read the announcement, you would know that 1.5 is not going to hit the ultimate pack any time soon (if ever, really), because the 1.5 should remain a "test" pack and they are waiting for 1.6 to make real updates for packs. Might have read wrong, so do correct me if that's the case. On...

    Fast Transport

    I also mentioned faith plates, but most of my post was rather useless due to my page not having reloaded when I told it to, so I did not see the other answers. But your first post said that MFR roads (and by extension ice) didn't make you faster at all. That is strange, because running on ice...

    Factorization processing. Is it worth it? Also, a concept.

    True, but that would make the machine much more awesome. I mean, if you had to fill every slot with a full stack to get max efficiency, and make the most out of the time, it would make it a viable solution for bulk processing. I'm sad now... As for the output, it could have either...
