    What are the Worst crimes you have done in FTB

    I made fun of that creeper who got stuck in one of my quarry holes. I call this picture: "Shit happenzzzzzz." :p

    What tools do you carry?

    Not long ago I digged into Tinkers Construct and saw all those nifty modifiable tools. So I started to gather resources for it. In my survival world I now have a TiCo alumite axe with auto-repair, luck and haste a TiCo alumite shovel with auto-repair, luck and haste a TiCo alumite broadsword...

    Orchard - ridiculously slow! Solutions?

    Usually I use managed arboretums to get saplings for ethanol production, apples and log. Today I tried orchards with plums and apples. But while the MFR treefarm with apple oak trees gathered 2 stacks of apples in a matter of only a view minutes, the (full size) orchards produced 0 plums and 0...

    Why do my plum trees not drop any plums? It's also not working in a forestry multifarm. No plums are dropped or collected.

    What type of player are you? - Discussion Thread

    I like technical mods. So my main mods are IC2/TE, MFR, AE, BigReactors and Railcraft. Arboriculture and apiculture is a pain in the a** for me. As is almost everything magic related. I love energy, creating, storing, managing and spending it for automation to prosper faster.

    Best Automated mining methods?

    Can a MFR laser drill generate ores from all mods? Because in the wiki there is for example no "Yellorium ore" in the list. So only having an MFR laser drill would deplete the yellorium power source of my BigReactor, which provides the RF for the drill? Currently I'm powering the MFR laser...

    Odd problem with ME system powered with geothermal generator?

    The geothermal has a small internal storage. Make sure it's 100% full all the time. If not, your energy drain is too hight for one generator. If you open your ME controller, you can see the needed power in AE units. To get needed EU divide / 2 To get needed MJ divide / 5 To get needed RF divide...

    Tech World 2 (1.1.4) MFE question

    1. Yes. An MFE in experimental outputs now "high voltage" which is 512 eu/t. If you need 128 EU packets, use the new "CESU" instead. BatBox -> Low Voltage (32 EU/t) CESU -> Medium Voltage (128 EU/t) MFE -> High Voltage (512 EU/t) MFSU -> Extreme Voltage (2048 EU/t) Over-Extreme-Voltage (2048+...

    Is there a way to automate the steam turbine with railcraft?

    Steam turbines already regulate their output automaticly to match the power demand of connected power cells or machines. If you connect an MFE and it's full, the output will go to 0% and it will no longer consume steam.

    @Skyqula Jesus. I didn't know you can stack rotor blades. oO And I also did not know that you can still have coolant fluid or blocks in an active reactor. So I evacuated it. I could have tried this, but my imagination did not went that far. XD How do you supply it with enough water?

    Well the core question was: Am I doing something wrong or inefficient? Because my active (much more expensive) setup is outputting only slightly more than the passive cheap one.

    I Derp, You Derp, We all Derp, What's your's?

    I set up 3 small quarries with a chest above each of them and ME Import busses to transfer the items. The quarries were running with full speed and I forgot to set the import busses to "move stacks". So when I realized back in my base that items were coming very slow into my ME system, I moved...

    Are actively cooled BigReactor (0.3x) setups with those new turbines really worth it? I built a 7x7x4 passively cooled reactor with 8 fuel rods and filled it with destabilized redstone. And it delivered an output of 6.4 kRF/t from point-blank at moderate 1250 C with 0.06 mB/t fuel consumption...

    Is it normal that a fermenter with 100% uptime which is always fed to the max with saplings cannot provide enough biomass to keep 4 stills running permanently? (TechWorld2) I'm trying to heat a 36 HP boiler with this but the stills are only working in stop-and-go manner because biofuel supply is...

    How to prevent squids from despawning? I used the safari net to place them, but they still despawn as soon as I walk a couple of blocks away from them.

    They are on the same duct. Here is my test setup. But the distribution gets always uneven after the first portion of bio fuel has reached the generators. One of them is always filling its internal bio fuel reservoir (in the above setup the leftmost one) and the other ones are running out of...

    Is there a way to make liquid pipes (BC) or Fluiducts (IE) distribute liquid evenly if there is one input and multiple outputs? My problem is, I have a BioReactor connected to 5 BioFuel Generators (both from Minefactory Reloaded) and one of the generators is always preferred when distributing...
