I tried witches with combinations of name tags and jailer's nets, but they ended up despawning, and capturing them was a bit of a chore. I only used villagers because I was disassembling my previous essence generator (villager spawner over conveyor belts, moving them on top of the altar for the...

When the tank is full, it acts the same as a full tank (i.e. rejects further filling). I, personally, have an autospawner of villagers underneath a Tier 4 altar stocked with a combination of sacrifice and dislocation runes, pumping out into my AE system (via tesseract), and then back into...

Early game I didn't do much tree farming at all. I rushed to the watering can, and used that on a 3x3 carrot farm, which gave me more than enough for food and composting to progress further down the line (lava, cobblegen, etc.).

Given that the server packs usually come with ServerStart scripts (batch and bash), would it not be easier to either run those, or to parse those for the filename?

Actually makes sense when coming off a quarry. If you do Quarry > chest > itemduct > tesseract, you are limited to the pull rate of the tesseract. If you use a pipe from the quarry to the tesseract, it'll continue, as long as the items have somewhere to go. As long as you sort out the...

... hmm, I was not aware that this was possible. Thanks for the info. Might have to include that on my bee breeding schedule ...

Nope, deconstruction table is your only option if you have nothing else to scan (though you've probably got stuff in AE, but I know getting it out is a bit of a chore). Thaumcraft has 3 types of "stuff" knowledge (research points), magic (wand vis), and matter (essentia). They all have their...

That's pretty much what I'm talking about, except making sure that fertility 4 is on all participants, to maximize the potential choices.

I can't speak for the original question, but I have a case where I have a single infernal drone, which seems quite necessary for the later bee quests, and it's a question of whether I want to go and try and hunt another few down (which is time consuming and tricky), or throw fertility 4 on it...

What you are doing there is citing a quantity of numbers (with no source), and extrapolating thoughts and opinions, and impressions people take away from it. You may have grounding for this, you may be pulling it out of your arse, frankly, I don't care, and I can't see any reason for anyone else...

Daft question, but were the fluiducts always transporting lava? if they've already got something else in them (water, mob essence, liquid platinum, etc.) from another system, and haven't been either drained or re-laid, then they'll get clogged with the previous liquid, not allowing flow.

Better solution would be to have the tesseract as the first thing that the pipe encounters, with the drums after it, so the engines would get lava first, and when they were full, it'd start going into overflow storage.

Have to echo what people have said. Right now we are in the "awaiting update" stage. Devs are working to get their mods compatible, which takes time, and in that time, you tend not to hear a vast amount. There is usually some manner of "beta" pack, where the mods get added as and when they...

Possibly using a fluid export to get the fluid out, a precision export to place the glowstone in the crucible, and a level emitter to tell is when it needs to do it.

Yeah, my main thing is that it feels much more like grinding now for a "congratulations" sign, whereas early game was exploration, and clever design. What's left is basically the stuff that can't be automated, it just takes a lot of slogging and waiting.

I was going to try golems, but couldn't be bothered to go through the crafting stages, and, will you look at that, I've got that stock of activators from where I dismantled my sifting and shard rigs. I also set one up with three, one to plant, one to apply the hoe of growth, and one to apply the...

To be fair, it's fairly standard practice in most places I've been. You ask the questions "What do I get?" and "What does it cost?", and whether or not the one exceeds the other determines whether or not the thing is done. There's a lot of argument, formulas and debate that goes into the number...

Ah, so you're getting irritated on BEHALF of someone else? That makes everything better. To be perfectly honest, this is a simple decision based on the effect that it would have, and the amount of work involved. The effect is more minimal, owing to the fact that it affects a subset of servers...

See, I can't say that I worried about getting all the essentia for thaumcraft stuff. There's either a finite amount needed for stuff (infusing wands, for instance), or you need more than a single jar will hold (in which case I set up the furnaces, alembics and void jars, auto-filled to keep me...

It's not terribly difficult (especially if you've got a healthy surplus after the soy quest), and there is an extent to which it gets you to build the infrastructure (you get to know the common components, and make sure to have surpluses of them, like heavy cream). My advice for it would be: A)...
