    Best MJ generation method?

    I've actually built it with five redstone energy cells, two Energy Tesseracts and one Item Tesseract (made a modification on DW's design and replaced the enderchests with Relays and tubeframes). It'll run for about 18 minutes at full speed down 180 levels to bedrock with zero power input from...

    Best MJ generation method?

    Currently, I have 13 Electrical engines with an enhanced circuit board with two tubes, increasing the output by 8MJ/t in each one, for a grand total of 130MJ/t being generated... I built Direwolf's mining well machine in an age that I created specifically for mining with it, and it draws around...

    Disposing of unwanted blocks from a quarry

    Doesn't look like it. Although I winder if I should switch to ultimate..... it looks like the only thing Mindcrack has that Ultimate doesn't is 'traincraft', which I'm pretty sure I'm not using....

    Using Mindcrack.

    Disposing of unwanted blocks from a quarry

    I've got almost that much in Nikkolite.... So you can imagine how much cobble, sand, dirt & gravel I've gotten rid of :).

    Disposing of unwanted blocks from a quarry

    *shrug* I've got a farm set up with almost everything you can grow and automated harvesting (manual planting for the things that don't just keep going like wheat) and it works fine without fertilizer.....

    Disposing of unwanted blocks from a quarry

    Although some of Gregtech is nothing more than a pain (IE: MatterFabricators.... Why build something that is more expensive to make, uses more energy, but is orders of magnitude SLOWER than it's counterpart??), the Gregtech recycler seems to be a decent machine, but what am I going to do with...

    Disposing of unwanted blocks from a quarry

    Ahh. Well, I've used both, but I was referring to the recyclers.

    Disposing of unwanted blocks from a quarry

    Not sure what you mean... With my cobble generator, I have unlimited cobble, which I can macerate into sand which I can cook into glass.

    Disposing of unwanted blocks from a quarry

    I've used them playing Tekkit. They work, but honestly serve little purpose for me in FTB... I have a cobble generator which will give me all the cobble I want weather I'm quarrying or not (It feeds into a standalone wooden chest), which then translates into unlimited sand and glass.

    Disposing of unwanted blocks from a quarry

    Good point. Well, I USED to do it this way..... BUT, I got tired of re-applying my 12 (At the moment) item junk filter... Plus doing it at the receiving end simplifies the quarry end to three blocks (quarry and two tesseracts), aside from a handful of cobble to place it and the markers on...

    Disposing of unwanted blocks from a quarry

    Which is essentially what I'm doing, with a change or two... If there is no significant benefit either way, then I'd probably leave it as is, but if just dripping them into lava is 'easier' on the server, then I'd change it (not like it's a difficult change).

    Disposing of unwanted blocks from a quarry

    As many know, when you run quarries, you get a bazillion cobble, dirt, sand, etc, and eventually you get to a point where enough is enough and you need to get rid of it. I've read that the BC void pipes are less CPU intensive for this purpose than dropping the blocks in lava, so I had a setup...

    FTB Performance

    That probably would help, wouldn't it.... My PC is a Phenom II x6 1100T with 16GB RAM, a 256GB Crucial M4 SSD and a XFX Radeon HD 6870. It has NO problem running Left For Dead 2 spanned across three Dell U2410 monitors with full detail and all effects, so if any variant of Mincraft is beyond...

    FTB Performance

    Does anyone know if there are any performance tweaks for FTB? I have a server in a datacenter (Running VMWare ESXi 4.1, dual Xeon X7560's and 96GB RAM) that's running several servers, including a few Bukkit Minecraft servers, a private Feed the Beast server, and had at one time a few Tekkit...

    Gate help

    Thanks. Guess I'll have to think about upgrading to 8.0.1 Sorry, mod is what I meant.

    What pack are tesseracts part of? I'm using Mindcrack and they don't seem to be available.

    Gate help

    Thanks to the help here, I got a properly functioning switching system. What I ended up doing was have the electrical engines feeding into a redstone energy cell with a structure pipe attached and a Gold OR gate on it. I then set it up as indicated early on, with red alloy wire running to all...

    Gate help

    I think I sort of figured out what's going on with it not shutting off. I switched back to conduits and a structure pipe with the gate on the cell. It seems that sometimes the cell never actually fills up. It will sit bouncing around just a shade below 600,000MJ, but never actually hitting...

    Gate help

    Well, I was, but the problem is gates don't work with them so the engines would be constantly running, sucking down EU when they don't need to be...
