Somewhere along your rednet path you could have each color also connect to a shared redstone/red alloy line that activates the common task.

What are you having issue with? If you have trouble keeping alloy separate use bundled cables or rednet cables. Precise export is the right bus to get the safari nets out of the ME network. From there you can use any inventory routing you like. If you use buttons you could have a button to...

Reactor makes enough biofuel to run 2 full HP boilers. Very easy to run 8 reactors with just a 9x9 of each farmable. Carrots Potatoes Netherwart Cocoa Cactus greens Pumpkin seeds Melon seeds All grow in bulk and don't use much power to harvest. I use saplings to get the full 9 item...

In 1.4.7 you lose 5% for each independent run of conduit. If I understand your setup you are probably losing 5% in your main engine network and 5% on your energy cell network. Your 12 squeezers + energy cells are sharing 15 * .95 = 14.25 MJ/t. If they don't need the MJ they will stop taking...

Yes, Bio-reactor. Better to throw some carrots, netherwart, coccoa beans and any other easy farmables you have on hand to get more biofuel per item.

On bio-fuel after a while it does not matter if you are wasting fuel to keep a boiler hot or not wasting fuel with smart MFR generators or toggling combustion engines. If you stop using fuel your farmables will pile up and you will eventually either start incinerating them or use deep storage...

Bio-Generator is pretty well balanced. Of the three MJ options it has the highest output and lowest efficiency. Depending on the recipe set you use it may be too cheap, but vanilla recipes for most of MFR are very cheap for what they do. Efficiency per bucket Biogen, 1 bucket of biofuel =...

If you use a full cutting knife in your recipe and put a recipe for a full knife in your MAC it will use the AE knife from full to 0 and make a new one when it needs to. If you use a damaged one in the recipe for anything it will use up an existing damaged knife, but won't know to make a new...

What boiler changes are you talking about?

Isn't base + base * up to 8 = 9 times the consumption at 0?

At full heat the consumtion ratio is correct. Heat-up for LP is cheaper since it stops at 500 C. So the up to 8x cold start extra consumptions decreases faster in LP heatup.

The boiler has the same heatup curve no matter the fuel used, so wether you used 230 buckets of fuel of 690 buckets of biofuel it will take ~5 hours to heatup either way. Heatup with whatever fuel you have on hand. Just don't try to produce the fuel for the heatup as it is heating up. Heatup...

Some hard numbers on fermentors, stills, and their energy usage in this thread: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/some-fermenting-science.9029/ Think it was ~17mj/t for fermentor, which will make about a bucket of biomass every 5-7 seconds. Still will use 5-6 mj/t and process a bucket of...

You can also scale up any recipe if you want to make the item in batches. Like i set most of my furnace crafting recipes to 64 of something = 64 of the smelted item. Downside is 64 is now the smallest amount it will make at a time. Upside is it moves the whole stack at one time, so I can...

You cannot have multiple recipes for the same item. Your recipe for 64 refined iron in the assembly chamber is making your nuggets. In the assembly chamber you are telling it that it can use a basic crafting grid to complete the recipe. So it simulated putting 64 ingots in the grid and it...

In 1.5+: Generator should be 16 mj/t for 10k ticks, so 160k MJ. In combustion engine Biofuel is 200k MJ, but over 40k ticks. In Boiler biofuel is ~292k MJ. A single reactor creates a bucket of biofuel every 50 seconds. So one reactor can supply 10 Generators 40 Combustion engines, or two 36...

Forgot this was 1.4.7 post. The buildcraft hopper also helps, but it not quite as good. In 1.5 the vanilla hopper will attempt to place items it can from any slot -- starting from the first slot. While the BC hopper only tries to place the item in the first slot.

If you ever have trouble on the input side of a machine try using a vanilla hopper. Most machines have been updated to work with how it handles sided inventory.

1.4.7 to 1.5.2 is mainly RP2 and Xycraft. Not sure what changes in 1.6 are world destroying. If it is some change with forge liquids then you should be able to just remove all your tanks and rebuild them after converting. Even that is too complicated to allow FTB to support direct...
