    The first couple of lines in machines.cfg are: collector { # Maximum horizontal distance to look for crystals [range: 1 ~ 16, default: 10] I:maxHorizontalCrystalDistance=10 # Maximum vertical distance to look for crystals [range: 1 ~ 16, default: 1] I:maxVerticalCrystalDistance=1 }...

    It's a toggle so just F3+H again :)

    Direwolf20 1.12 redstone wire (or wireless)?

    Yeah, different 'channels' for piping different signals along the same wire. I think the third mode lets you send the exact redstone level from the source, so you can send a comparator value of say, 10, through the pipe and read it off the other end. Also, just so you know, the relays can be...

    They are cool. :)

    Direwolf20 1.12 redstone wire (or wireless)?

    Try thermal dynamics structuralducts and redstone relays. The relays are *really* good! Also, rftools logic gates and sequencers help as well.

    Survey - Future Quest Based Modpacks

    Apart from packs like the original FTB pyramid, where gathering X amounts of resources is the whole point of the pack, I dislike any quests that require tons of any resource. If you need to get a lot of something to make something else, then that's going to happen naturally and doesn't need to...

    Alveary automation and Thermal Dynamics

    That's a shame.

    Alveary automation and Thermal Dynamics

    I'm not sure how the addon blocks work but have to ask if you've tried a separate retriever/itemduct line directly on the sieve block?

    Alveary automation and Thermal Dynamics

    Do you mean using servos on the alveary end? If so, then no, all I could make work was your suggestion to use only a retriever on the chest end. Alveary -> chest ----------------- Attaching a servo to the alveary doesn't work. Attaching a retriever to the chest does work. Chest-> alveary...

    Alveary automation and Thermal Dynamics

    Couldn't resist trying myself and bingo - yes retrievers work. In particular, I put a resonant retriever on a chest and connected itemducts to one of the sides. https://imgur.com/a/IOEbB Pulled out everything.

    When I read Larry-Ma I had to say it out loud in the voice.

    Alveary automation and Thermal Dynamics

    They're pretty new versions, so it could be bugs. It's possible it's at the forestry end, rather than thermal dynamics only because the extra utilities pipes also don't work.

    Hooray for science! Glad it's working now.

    Alveary automation and Thermal Dynamics

    Ah - was just a thought. I messed around in a creative world with all types of servos and ducts (also ex2 transfer nodes/pipes) and no luck. But a hopper placed underneath does work (EDIT on the simplest alveary at least).

    How to get Titanium - InfiTech2 (v3.2.21) / Gregtech5

    For all packs, even vanilla, I always find it difficult to scale up after a certain point. I like automating things, but find that once I've done it, all I do is end up watching inputs and outputs :( What's good about GT in general, for me, is that the earlier 'ages', where automation is hard...

    How to get Titanium - InfiTech2 (v3.2.21) / Gregtech5

    It's a fantastic pack - I've played through three or four worlds and never come close to finishing everything that's possible. If you've no experience with GregTech though, you might want to look at a few let's plays. Otherwise, the only other thing to note is that Thaumcraft is also very...

    How to get Titanium - InfiTech2 (v3.2.21) / Gregtech5

    Cool - so you don't need the vac freezer at least :)

    How to get Titanium - InfiTech2 (v3.2.21) / Gregtech5

    There's a very friendly thread dedicated to Infitech here. You'll get good answers there. From memory though, for titanium you need to process rutile. Also, the EBF will cook a hot ingot which needs to be put into a vacuum freezer to get the normal one.
