Personally I'd say that the packs being used by various youtubers (Mindcrack\DW20) are probably the ones that will have the greatest staying power simply due to the amount of exposure they get apart from the challenge map pack which may or may not be usable in a normal survival world. As far...

A tier5 blaze shard + cogs mech saws and fans can give you level 30 in under a minute, mine used to produce around 1800 XP in a minute.

Tier 5 Blaze Shard?

Powercrystals Minefactory has pretty much the only automated fishing setup I've seen, there are a few others but they tend to be not as well supported or maintained at least the other ones I've seen anyways there may be others out there. Linky to MCF thread

Imo RC tanks and Xycraft tanks tend to fulfill different roles, RC tanks are incredibly useful for small storage solutions and in general small tanks tend to be what you use the most of, but Xycraft tanks are more easily built for mass storage of bulk liquids.

No screenshots sorry I managed to corrupt that world very badly, my last backup was a while ago and I had added a few mods with worldgen (or changed worldgen) so I restarted instead of NBT editing it to work. But yeah that is the basic idea you have one fermenter that is run on apple juice when...

Sapling production will outstrip apple production by a considerable amount so it may be a good idea to have at least 2 fermenters running, one with apple juice (only when you have apples to process) and another with water, from my setups I know that a single fermenter is easily able to feed at...

None of the methods I've used required blutricity, I've used a redstone pulsed filter on the manager itself with a filter in-line allowing only saplings through on the tube to the fermeter, the wood and apples were sent off to storage, I've also used a wooden pipe+autarchic gate to extract the...

Cactus has always destroyed item entities that came in contact with it, the Xycraft quartz having the same effect is a new thing, apparently it can be blamed on Slowpoke according to the Xycraft changelog.

That info is slightly out of date apatite if you are running forestry 2.0.0.X which I believe a few packs are, spawns above sea level (64) in exposed stone in very very large veins.

I refuse to use combustion engines fullstop, they have blown up on me often enough (pre-aqueous days) even when setup correctly that I will not use them again, I'd much prefer to make a couple of dirty great big boilers (with renewable\effectively infinite fuel) than ever deal with those finiky...

Well DW20 uses multiples in his Alveary on Forgecraft and considering Binnie is on Forgecraft as well you'd suppose that it may have been mentioned if it didn't do anything to use more than one.

A small thing I noticed you mentioned covers and creepers, afaik external covers (the ones on the inside of the edge line) inherit the blast resistance of the material they are made of so basalt covers when placed as the outside edge of the block space have the blast resistance of basalt.

I had multiple boilers and yeah 36LP boilers are really just pocket change with Gregtech default\Forestry hardmode, steel is harder to come by than iron especially with TE ore gen active iron spawns at both levels you have to mine at so you end up with a lot, but I did also have a couple of 36HP...

Well the power production seems a little anemic to me in my world (before I managed to corrupt it, love alpha\beta mods) I had 2 36HP's on fuel\biofuel powering my lasers (35) and my BC requiring non-processing machinery, a 36LP on charcoal powering my extra bees setup (all the boilers had the...

Arboretum+Logger is deprecated content Forestry version 2.0.0.x has multiblock farms which require fertilizer to run you cannot even craft the old style farms as of version 2.0.0.8 I think it was. Though the amount of apatite you gain from a single new style spawn at >60 is rather extensive. I...

Search on google for "bee breeding guide" the first or second hit will take you to a good one. Don't know if anything changed as far as Redstone engines goes but it wouldn't surprise me as they produce 1 MJ\second afaik which is around .05 MJ\tic and BC has been moving away from allowing...

Steves Carts farms are very good for set and forget farming of a single resource type, Golems work very very nicely for multiple resource types from a single farm, a RP2 auto farm isn't really as possible unless you have a steady supply of bonemeal but if you do they can be horrifically...

I have used that as well as a tesseract as well as really early manually filling cells by walking down to the laval lakes I found and clicking like crazy (a stack of cells lasts a while), but generally I run one crucible to 2-3 Geos, I power the crucibles from the magmatic engines I've found...

Early to mid game, EU: Geothermals (4-8 will easily supply your early power needs), MJ: Magmatics, both fed from magma crucibles melting Netherrack. Later game, MJ: 36HP\LP boilers running on whatever you can be arsed making (used to be Blaze Rods hands down but now....I use charcoal from a...
