Caliche is the technical term for the entire deposit of Saltpeter. You'd use it in the same way you'd say a "Vein" of ore.

More likely its just random rumors, misinformation, or misunderstanding what was happening. You'd have to use special case reflection code to be able to even access the inventory.

They blacklist any output they have already visited. So its impossible for them to back feed. If all outputs are blacklisted the item will be ejected from the pipe. I fail to see the need to "match" any such vanilla "standard". From my point of view pipes are still the more powerful (and much...

Insertion Pipes are unnecessary, Buildcraft will bounce items back into the pipe if there is no room for them in the inventory. At least until it runs out of untraveled pipe outlets. The behavior you describe has not existed for over six months.

I posited the question once to my beta testers and the response was overwhelming negative (and controversial). So not likely, no.

Just FYI, its never been automatable, not even on day one. That never changed.

Episode 20 released!

They are entities.

Try the BC Advanced Crafting Table (Lasers!), it should work. If it doesn't, submit a issue to the BC Github tracker.

Malicious is a trigger word that has been at the center of far too many flame wars and is more often than not, misused. The same goes for "malware" for that matter, which shares a root with "malicious". The technical software definitions of both "malicious software" and "malware" are firmly...

Episode 15 is out and a world download has been posted (see blog info page).

He's not the only one who has been saying it, I've seen at least two other people on IRC insist that they output to Gold Pipes.

Although upon inspection of the actual code, I see no evidence of it ever being able to output to any power pipe (why do people insist that it could?) and it only outputs to PowerReceptors as it should. But it looks like its passing the wrong direction to the receiveEnergy() function, which...

We (the BC team) have been getting complaints recently about PowerConverters no longer working with Pipes (we changed nothing in API). I simply pointed out that if its broken, its because its hooking into a private function. And should slapped for doing so.

1. We provide an approved API for people to interface with. They should use it. Ego has nothing to do with anything. It simply a desire for others to respect our code (and our time) and use the tools we provide to accomplish their own goals. Its in everyone best interest if features don't break...

Pretty sure it recursively calls doWork() so long as it has more power stored, but I'd have to look closer to be sure.

I don't know any modder that likes to have others poking around in their code using reflection. You may recall the huge backlash MiscPerphirals caused by doing exactly that. But modders desires aside, it still a bad idea simply because we provide no guarantee that said function will still...

Very bad form, that is NOT part of the API and never will be. That function is subject to random and unexpected changes and breaks the proper encapsulation of the network.

Buildcraft provide no means to inject power into any pipe other than Wooden Power Pipes, any mod that injects power into say Gold Power Pipes is using a reflective hack on an internal function and should be slapped for doing so.

I want to point out that the Mining Well and Quarry DO NOT USE THE SAME AMOUNT OF POWER. The Quarry still uses a significant amount of power to MOVE the arm above and beyond the 60 MJ required to dig a block. Hence the reason you need like 100 MJ/t to run a Quarry at the same speed as a Mining...
