    Old Adeptcraft - A collection of memories

    Nah, the reason they're doing this is because with the first version with upgrades you could put multiple sewage collectors over one pasture, upgrade them all, and get sewage as if they were all alone. The goal with the upgrade is to just let you have one. The original design was a bit...

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    Meanwhile I am working on something that takes the essential principles of virtuous/didactic gamification and bringing it to personal finance. There is a profound insight in why humans love games.

    Multiple AE Networks

    Not really. When you start to prioritize lots of stuff for storage (an example of why that matters: xycraft fabricators) it gets very hard to actually do that. Oh, and also upgrading my home network doesn't donk up processing by resetting everything.

    Multiple AE Networks

    Because I suffer from having a ton of "types" in my ME system, whereas my processing network never handles more than 64 at a time. As such I can save a lot on storage cells by just using a few ME chests as intermediate stores in the processing network. Things now come into my red network and...

    Will there by a final mod pack update for 1.4.7?

    It seems like Forgecraft is happy to move forward without some key mods assuming that FC2 is a testing venue.

    Advanced Solar Panels vs Compact Solars

    It'd be funny if there was an option to accumulate dirt on the solars so you gotta go out and clean them every so often (or at least have a turtle do it).

    My list of mods that should be included for a complete experience:

    I'm starting to think that Tinker's Construct is never going to leave my packs ever again. I don't care if it dramatically lowers the cost of tools; I think I love it.

    New player.. where to go next?

    Do not feel compelled to do any of those things, by the way. I've played all the way to late game in DW20 with hand-mining. Build what interests you and don't feel compelled to copy what other people do. Biofuel is a good call because of how are packs are set up, but hardly necessary.

    Multiple AE Networks

    Processing vs storage, yes.

    TE Machines Indefinitely Drawing Power From Energy Cell?

    I swear, Railcraft is the most abusive mod. Its only saving grace is unfairly good powergen and the fact that once you DO finally crawl through the process to make rails the yields per unit are obscenely high. And it's not even like it's neglected. It's come up on streams and the author actually...

    Boilers, Steam, Tesseracts and Energy Bridge

    That's odd, because it's supposed to have a much higher flow volume when auto-ejecting. ChickenBones was quoting some absurdly high number. Perhaps he meant internal flow capacity. Supposedly Ender Tanks have the capacity to move the most fluid around amongst diverse points, but their auto-eject...

    Suggest Mods for FTB Here

    Sadly it's rather brittle when combined with our modpacks. I've tried several times to make it work and it fails in various interesting ways.

    Boilers, Steam, Tesseracts and Energy Bridge

    Ender Tanks have really high throughput, auto-eject, and look awesome. Consider them as well.

    Tree farm idea

    It will look cool, but it'll be really slow compared to the other solutions discussed here. Still probably faster and easier to keep it running than a Forestry multifarm, though!

    Tree farm idea

    You can do this. Or you can use two MFR harvesters stacked at different heights and spend a fraction of the resources, time, and still probably have it go faster than the mining wells. :) When those things get medium voltage EU they they're insanely fast.

    What do you consider cheating?

    Congratulations! You've actually found a way to break through the invisible floor of vacuousness in forum posts and find a new bottom to lie against. The only thing worse than a low-content-density thread: a condemnation post in said thread.

    Are chunk loaders safe to use?

    This sounds like a big misconfiguration of your server. ChickenBones's mods generally play very well together.

    Dense ores, right...

    I thought the behavior in question was a bug involving using a blacklist instead of a whitelist and it was corrected with the last release.

    Tree farm idea

    Yes, although it'll be less awesome than the correct MFR setup because you won't be clearing the leaves. And before you say, "I will just build more mining wells!" consider that if you have Minefactory Reloaded, multiple harvesters can be very fast when fed with UE or EU power (particularly at...

    AE External Processing Paralellism

    If the processing line is dedicated it'll work. The depressing truth of ME Interfaces is that things it'll try and stock the machines greedily. For example, let's say you want to combine 4 tiny piles of dust into a packager for upconversion. Let's say you have 3 tiny iron dust and for tiny...
