    I have made some additional discoveries regarding High Oven design. While the book says there is "no reason" to make a high oven taller than 8 blocks, taller ovens do give increased capacity. They also give additional surface area for drains, but the surface area to volume ratio decreases, so...

    With drains on corners, you can have a fluiduct on each face. The graphical representation of a hole is irrelevant to the function of the fluiduct. So, an 8x3x3 high oven has 114 block faces. 84 water input points, 28 steam output points, and 1 face for the controller, 1 face for fuel input...

    Nice work! I am still a newb when it comes to mods, so I had my clock set up using traditional redstone, which does not allow for the level of precision you are getting. I am wondering if you could increase the efficiency without increasing the failure by having the fill-rest cycle regulated by...

    Wow! How many steam drains do you have to get the steam out before the next batch of water comes in?

    I will do a detailed post later, but I figured out a way to measure my steam output. Since my water input is on and off for equal amounts of time, and all the water is converted to steam, the steam output per tick is going to be equal to 1/2 the water input rate. My multimeter says water inputs...

    Thermal Expansion 3: Managing cyclic assembler inventories?

    There is a way to do it with just TE items, but it is kind of finicky. The basic principle is to have the item ducts take items out of storage at the ratio they are used in the crafting recipe. Assuming you are producing at least one of the precursors slower than your cyclic assembler can run...

    In that case, I will do a detailed post on how mine is set up this weekend.

    I'm probably not doing it very efficiently, as I am piping the steam to steam dynamos rather than using it with turbines, so I don't know the RF output. I have my water input tied to a redstone clock. Each oven has three water input points, and 9 steam output points. The ovens fill with water...

    My first big project was trying to set up a massive array of netherack powered ex nihilo crucibles an industrial magmaworks. I managed to complete the project, but the ticklag (for reasons I will explain) was so bad that I gutted it. The shell remains.

    Here is my first Agrarian Skies base. Details in the spoilers. See part two for my abandoned magmaworks.
