    Is there a way to prevent EU loss through wires?

    I believe the only thing in an EU network that can waste energy are energy producers. There is of course power loss in the cables, but that is well documented and easy to circumvent. Waste like you describe would not come from transformer or storage blocks... once EU is in an storage unit power...

    Is there a way to prevent EU loss through wires?

    The above is incorrect. Transformers only make 4 packets a tick. So they each have a maximum throughput and they will not supply more than that throughput. They do not have an unlimited passthrough for packets that are already the correct size. All packets go to an internal storage and when the...

    1.7.x Packs Yet!? [Mindcrack/DW20/Ultimate/Lite/Horizons/Monster/Unleashed/Unhinged/Tech/Magic/etc]

    Looks like it is first to 1.5.2. Chickenbone's core won't load in 1.5.2. Time for a new 1.5.2 column? :P

    1.5.1 Beta Pack-DIY Edition (now with 1.5.2)

    Xycraft should just be a matter of finding new chunks to get the ores. You might just save a direction and not explore that direction, so you will have access to new chunks when xycraft is ready. If you have MFR you don't really need soul shards unless you want tier 5 level output.

    Remote charging station

    Should add that emerald pipes wait on the next item in their filter, so they actually don't add anything useful to these setups. The gate method is probably the most useful or in ultimate a universal charger on an ender chest directly works without the fuss :)

    Zen and the art of Mining

    In 1.5 i have gotten back into mining --- more caving than anything. I try not to branch mine after the first few diamonds of the world, but do find it relaxing too. Thaumcraft has awesome rechargeable tools :) One world i started, but reset I didn't even have to do any research. Found...

    Applied Energistics -- Advanced Tactics

    So applied energistics has been out a while now. I am sure we have all done an implementation or two. What tricks have you come up with? My first trick is on farmables // infinite stream items. I format them to a basic storage disk and then also set that item on a storage bus connected to an...

    Things you are most excited about in 1.5

    Been playing a 1.5 world for a week or so now. The vanilla inventory changes are the best feature. Took a day or two to get used to, but crafting with it is awesome. Hoppers are surprisingly useful. Early game you can setup a chest to dump your ores with a hopper below it connected to a...

    Exporting exact number of item

    Instead of exporting use an interface and recipe for one of the results. Then use an export bus on crafting mode to create demand for the result. Should do what you want.

    Frame Airship Questions...

    Size limit: Default is 1000 links. Which is frames+anything frame is connected to. Panels and covers inside a frame do not count against the limit. Speed: Best bang for the buck is 1 extra engine in a inchworm type. Speed tests if a few extra percent is worth it to you to go beyond one...

    1.5.1 Beta Pack-DIY Edition (now with 1.5.2)

    Does anyone have crops working in IC2 304? Do not test on a world you care about. When I tried to use them for the first time in 1.5 and had to get mcedit to remove the crop block after placing it. When i placed it on tilled land it errored out with:

    All-purpose Autocrafting factory setup problems

    Not familiar with the retrievulator, so not sure what functionality you would need to replace there. AE is the simplest system to do all that. It can do it all on its own. It can be a little cheaper to hand off processing to other item moving/routing systems, but AE can do it as well. Any...

    Can I connect Redstone Energy Cells to another cell

    Wrench the conduits that should be outputs. Orange = output Blue = input

    Can I connect Redstone Energy Cells to another cell

    In 1.4.7 you will lose 5% for each run of conduit. So probably 5% form engine to cell 1. 5% for cell to cell. And another 5% from the final energy cell to a destination. In 1.5.1 conduit to energy cell and back is lossless, so you can organize your MJ power grid however you like. I believe the...

    Applied Energistics storage help

    For quarry or farm inputs that are likely to fill up your formatted disk i like to put a storage bus entry for that item to an incinerator block (or your favorite way to destroy items). So say you preformat the lowest disk for cobble. It can hold 8128 or so blocks -- the disk is filled first...
