*grin* That's kind of why I posted my report, because I found it comical that my very first drum would be used for THIS purpose. I figured it might irk some folks, but I certainly didn't mean to irk the person who seems to be helping me the most along my journey. :) As I said, I'll probably...

Well, now I do see how much stone dust I get from one Mining operation, I went from 50 stacks of it to 100 stacks of Stone Dust - it pretty much filled a Jabba Barrel while it ran. But don't forget - yesterday was the first day I ran my Miner, so I'm still learning the ropes. I just think the...

Yeah, as I noted earlier, I decided to go the Bedrockium Drum route instead, and I'm pre-mixing my Drilling Fluid. This way the whole setup/breakdown procedure is faster for my Mining operations, and also I won't have to make "maintenance trips" out to the site. One thing I learned thru advice...

Odd, my reservoir is very slow, and my mixer is very fast and my math doesn't add up to your math. :) Drilling fluid recipe uses 5 cells of water every 3 seconds at LV. I'm running an MV mixer, so every 1.5 seconds I need 5 buckets of water, or about 3.3 buckets per second. The reservoir...

As I increase my power tier I'm beginning to see how certain operations (such as making Drilling Fluid) are going to be slowed down by an inability to pipe water around my base fast enough, and it's the "one bucket per second" rate on the Reservoir that is the issue. I could simply add more...

I finally have enough diamonds to make a Bedrockium Drum, thanks to the Advanced Miner II, and also thanks to those who posted the tips regarding the Sifting Table. I had been undecided whether it was worth spending 54 diamonds, and quite honestly I was leaning against it. However... after I...

That's kinda what I figured too - the plan should be, don't run the Miner randomly, but rather pick out a specific ore target and focus in on that... perhaps by strategic use of a chunk loader to reduce the area mined to just the ore vein chunks, which will keep both the time cost and the energy...

Okay great, thanks. So in other words, we should only run the Miner when we find veins by hand or via OV Scanner I guess, don't run around the world and try to map what is below by using the Seismic Prospector. I get it now. Unfortunate, but it probably would be viewed as too easy so they...

I sure hope that's a typo, and I think you must mean 5x5 chunks, but perhaps it is possible you were correct. If so, then the Prospector isn't nearly as useful as I expected it would be, if it's really that specific and has that small of a range. Still trying to develop some sort of ore mining...

Started using the Seismic Prospector but I'm not certain it's giving me the entire picture of the 6x6 chunk region the Advanced Miner will be mining. So I guess that's one of my main questions - should the book I get after running the Prospector show me every single ore in that 6x6 chunk...

It's quite helpful because rather than go for the somewhat obvious Fluxed Electrum which would give me something like 2760 EU/t out of a Gas Turbine in Large Rotor config, I think I'm better off scaling the output down some because I'm really not ready for Insane Voltage level. Yeah I know I...

Your table is awesome, and it's use-able, however either it got left out or else it got deleted during an edit - there's no column headers. You could even just add a legend at the top, such as "Durability/Efficiency/Optimal Steam Flow" but I have a feeling the intent was for row #2 to be column...

Thanks, yeah, it's gonna overwhelm me I'm sure. But I need to run it once to see what sorts of oddball stuff I'm gonna get rolling in, so I can prepare for it. So basically, that means I already resigned myself to the first run being a total nightmare. I have visions of overflowing chests...

So, more fun with math then! You said 2000 ores at 24 seconds per, but we halve that speed twice for EV, so 6 seconds per ore, which is around 3.5 hours or so. If we run at 768 EU/t for 3.5 hrs, that's around 200 million total EU. Since one cell of Nitro Diesel contains 512K EU, that means we...

What speed does your Miner run at then? One ore every 6 seconds, or about 3.5 hours for an average vein? This is a good example of where GT electricity confuses me so maybe we can clarify it. According to my Guide Book (Edit: Check your book too please, just in case they changed it since I'm...

Hmmm wow now that's why this forum is so valuable. I might have spent a good deal of time and materials making my Big Reactor Turbine only to then realize it wasn't worth it. Thanks for the info.

You are always answering the next question in my head, the one I haven't had enough time to post yet. Very efficient, sir. Thx a bunch. :) Why not go the Big Reactor route to generate RF? Same as with the Rocket Fuel, too easy? I'm sure glad you mentioned needing RF, it sounds like just...

Yay, finally built my Advanced Miner II. The wiki page contradicts what the Enchiridion book says about mining non-GT ores. I'll find out when I actually run it. But I'm not really worried about non-GT ores like Electro-whatever and Yellorium. I want to multiply the good stuff, like the...

I'm looking for ideas about how to use up all these saplings from my tree farm. I don't see much in NEI. I'm already making BioGas in large quantity from wheat, so I sure don't need to use the saplings for more of the same stuff. Perhaps the Recycler will be the best use, start making some...

But I do not see any Diesel Engine in my NEI. Was it added recently? Because the server I'm on is still running the version just before pollution was added to the modpack. And that is discouraging about the Cracker being faster than the Distillation Tower. But instead of another Tower, I...
