    Does Ender Quarry work with Buildcraft pipes?

    Personally, I'd recommend just setting the tesseract on top of the quarry and do your sorting at the receiving end similar to the image I've attached. You could set the garbage can right next to the itemduct, install a servo and set it to whitelist, accepting only cobble (or any other blocks you...

    Sacred Rubber Sapling FYI

    I was reading a post on Reddit about the 'Sacred Rubber Sapling', and no one had any idea how much one would actually yield - so I built a server just to test it out. I planted a sacred rubber sapling and let it grow - then I set 5 chunk loaders loading 10 chunk radius each spread out so that...

    DW20 1.6.4 IC2 & PowerConverters

    In case anyone's interested, I think I figured out the issue with the power converters - it would seem the issues I was having with it 'just stopping' and requiring that I break and re- place one block were related to the chunk unloading and loading - knock on wood, since I built a chunk loader...

    Ender Trap the super basic I need ender pearls but just started my world mob system

    Did something change with the mob spawning mechanics in 1.6.4? I'm running DW20 1.6.4 and built a platform very similar to what was posted, and mobs aren't spawning much - I have it built at 203 (sea level/ground in this area is at 64, so that means its 139 blocks above ground). After numerous...

    DW20 1.6.4 IC2 & PowerConverters

    That's exactly what I mean. Stock = as crafted. As crafted, with no upgrades, the te3 machines are lots faster than the ic2 equivalent. Yes, the ic2 machines can be overclocked and such, but considering the direction ic2 seems to be going, I'd rather keep my usage of it to a minimum - zero would...

    DW20 1.6.4 IC2 & PowerConverters

    Not really sure what you'd want the macerator for..... Yes, it can be upgraded, but stock for stock, the pulverizer is faster, and it can give you 'bonuses', similar to what the GT industrial grinders did. I was thinking that the extractor could still be useful with rubber, but then it dawned on...

    DW20 1.6.4 IC2 & PowerConverters

    Hmmm... Might have to look into that - I could also add Mekanism for it's solar panels, but it's not in ANY FTB pack - I want to keep adding or changing things to a minimum, and adding a mod that's not part of any FTB pack probably isn't a great idea.

    DW20 1.6.4 IC2 & PowerConverters

    I recently started up a DW20 1.6.4 server to play on. I had been playing Unleashed with Gregtech added and a lot of the changed GT made to other things fixed. In the new DW20, I've found that IC2 rather sucks - Some of the things that we've been using for some time are ridiculously complicated...

    Direwolf20 1.0.19 Server won't start

    Direwolf20 1.0.19 Server won't start

    I'm trying to set up a Direwolf20 1.0.19 server on 64-bit CentOS 6.5 with 4 procs and 8GB RAM, and I'm having a problem where it won't start. I'm using MCMA2 to launch it, as I have with Vanilla MC and my Unleashed server. One of the messages that I get near the end is an out of memory error -...

    Boarding track - Am I missing something??

    That would give me a good use for the 164,289,000mB (and climbing) of fuel that I have. :) A bit ago I decided to start pumping Oil into a Quantum Tank, and set up a few refineries to make fuel since oil is less useful than fuel. Didn't have a use for it though. Just decided to do it for the...

    Boarding track - Am I missing something??

    DERP - That was it. now sure how I missed that.... Thanks. Never played with locomotives, but I'll look into it. Thanks.

    Boarding track - Am I missing something??

    I am in the processes of setting up a rail link between to locations that are about 300 blocks apart in a 'safe' tunnel. To run that distance would burn a lot of food and not be very good, so I decided to use carts like I've done before. I was going to set up a boarding track at each end, a...

    ME System and Deep storeage

    The way I set my system up is I have my quarry tesseract feeding into a small logistics pipes network. High volume items that I have stored I DSU's are routed straight to the proper DSU with my default route being the pipe connected to the me interface... I then have storage busses hooked up to...

    Modpack config files

    With the modpack config files, if I update the mods but keep my old config files, if there are any new entries in the config files, will the mod add the required entries to its existing config file, or will things break horribly?

    MFFS Quarry machine- Automating?

    So it's been a bit since I originally asked about this, and I did some more searching this week and there's really nothing new. All of the machines where the creator walked through how they built it used comparators (which are available), along with timers and what appears to be red alloy wire...

    Applied Energistics storage help

    Not really. The power sending it through the ME system would use is a drop in the bucket compared to what the system draws at idle. I figure there's no point in having that massive volume of stuff get dumped into the ME system, just to get spit out a storage bus. Plus, with a quarry running full...

    Applied Energistics storage help

    My system is set up so that my quarry devices feed into tessseracts, which then the receiving tesseract at my base dumps into a small Logistics Pipe network. I then have DSU's for things like Cobble, Dirt, Netherrak, tainted soil, soul sand, etc and a default route in the LP setup to my AE...

    MFFS Quarry machine- Automating?

    I figured out that it takes my machine about 4:20 to clear the area (49w and like 120 high) and had thought about a simple timer set to like 5 minutes in the computer on the machine and leave it at that, but the problem with that is if for some reason the machine slows down (runs out of power...
