Don't forget to look into Thaumcraft. It's possible to generate charcoal from logs with TC and you can automate it. It does not produce creosote as a side effect like coke ovens. TC is also great for early steel production instead of or in addition to the bronze blast furnace. TC also gives...

For sure. When I first played InfiTech2 last year I was ready to quit within 15 minutes because it was so frustrating. I found this thread and people answered all my dumb questions kindly and quickly. Now I'm playing InfiTech2 all over again having just started a few weeks ago!

You prefer this over Ender Quarry? What is your preferred method to power the advanced miner?

Speaking of explosions, RailCraft has such polite explosions compared to what I'm used to with GregTech:

I look at GregTech ore generation as a challenge and an obstacle to overcome, not something to hate or cheat my way around. Once I got the knack for it it's even more favorable to me than vanilla generation. If you haven't already read the GT Survival Guide and the GT 5 Mining and Ore...

@MigukNamja Yeah, always tried to avoid the BC Stirling Engine exactly for the overheating issue. Standing next to an oil well and waiting for it to finish pumping isn't my idea of a good time. I need/want reliable stuff. I'll look at the tank. Seems like something to use until it's not :)

Oh, speaking of portable energy and such. In InfiTech 2.x I used a fair amount of enderIO Stirling Generators to power various things like my Ender Quarries, MFR tree farms, mob spawners, and more. And if I recall correctly I could pump oil fairly easily with just 4 redstone engines. I...

I don't really have an automated way to farm withers, but the last time I played InfiTech 2.x by the time I reached MV it was no big deal to kill 10 withers in a day. I'm guessing with the new Gregified Ender IO recipes that will be a little harder though. A blaze farm/enderman farm with an...

I've completed a large chunk of the Thaumcraft research with mostly just Eldritch stuff and the higher end TT2 that I haven't uncovered yet left to do. One thing that seems sort of interesting is the Magical Energy Conversion. Has anyone played around with this? It seems like it would be...

I put an arcane bellows on the steel transmutation and it works better now, not great but better. It's at least 100 times faster than a BBF so oh well ;) I'll rewatch your video later Jason. See if I can speed it up more. Aiwendil helped me with the alumentum one. I missed the easiest part...

Yep, everything is labeled.

Ok, so on the steel transmutation one there was a single messis stuck in the essentia tube. I broke the tube and replaced it and for a few moments the construct ran full speed spitting out steel nuggets as fast as the furnace could break down the ordo. And then it just slowed to a crawl. The...

I'm started out with automated alchemy to make alumentum and also transmute steel. I set everything up and product a bit of material, but then the alchemical construct will just stop drawing essentia from the alembics and I can't seem to figure out why. I've tried using a standard 1 essentia...

I'll double-check tonight when I get home, but I could swear I saw a vanilla cauldron being filled by a golem using a bucket. Maybe I mis-remembered though. I'm guessing Aiwendil knows where it is (just inside the door to the left when entering from the nether portal).

Regarding filling a cauldron with water using a golem, I believe squeezy on the public InfiTech server is doing this in his base from a Thirsty Tank. I'm not sure how, but it seems to work so I know it's possible.

Ahh OK, that makes sense and will be usable in the future. I can't even make a pump right now as I just started steel production in order to even make my first LV machine. I heard a rumor that GT6 completely abandons technology in favor of cat herding. Of course you won't be able to find all...

Yeah, the base EIO fluid conduit is more of an issue of nether quartz availability than it is regarding alloy smelters and such. Running around the nether wilds without fly (or decent armor or even a solid way to make lots of arrows) is sort of deadly at this stage yet. Also, yeah I know the...

Ah sure, that will work until I find a nether quartz vein. Thanks!

Would there happen to be a reasonable way to extract fluids from something that doesn't auto-extract (like a coke oven's creosote) into wooden GT pipes? In the past I've used BC fluid pipes early game, but doing that for a lot of coke ovens is laggy. EnderIO fluid conduit would be my goto, but...
