Barring the incredibly cheap frames, SC2 miners are pretty good. Very few mining systems that don't use the cheap blutricity can be perpetual resource creators with 0 maintenance. SC2 miners can.

Weight. End of mystery.

You can also make lava which means infinite copper, gold, silver and electrum via centrifuging. Build a golden palace!

Cool story. Not the same mod though. Immibis Microblocks is a more open re-implementation of the microblock functionality from RP2, down to even having a similar looking saw. And it can work on any tile entity you name in the config, can work with more source blocks (nuke cover panels forever!)...

Straw golems are basically impossible to control; they reset their detection range at the end of each operation. If there is a path they will take it. The only way I have seen is to make sure your farm has NO direct path to the show farm and NO air gaps anywhere. One way to do this: piston doors.

Really? I thought the FTB guys had universal configs explicitly so that this wouldn't happen. Had you added your own mods?

I was aware, but they're sort of irritating to make and they always look wrong. They can work on almost anything you want if you know the classname. Immibis's stuff is pretty clever about interacting with tile entities. The big limitations right now in the 1.4.7 codebranch seem to cluster...

Extra Bees come to mind. They can actually use 100mj/t consistently. But it's Minecraft. Eventually what you do with it is build something huge and absurd then reset your map. Prepare and pace yourself.

"Interesting?" Something has to give me a reason to care about tree traits before I'll start to care. I have 0 reason to breed trees right now except to play pokémon with completion.

Morality aside, it's an advantage. ;) But why are we running farms if not for energy loops? Forestry/SC's version of solar is tree growing. There's nothing bad with energy positive processes in minecraft; they're internally consistent. Minecraft's universe does not conserve energy. We...

We have it working on our server. The trick is this: Immibis-core is not a coremod. Immibis-microblocks is a coremod. Tricky tricky, but once you do that it should fit in any FTB pack just fine. It also works with more stuff than RP2. Unfortunately, Immibis hasn't gotten it to work with...

A sizable advantage on the SC farm is that it's self-sustaining in terms of power. It requires no outside inputs; it runs off the wood it harvests directly!

Given that we have AE and TE in these packs, just mining by hand is fast and effective. Seriously! Hook up an ender chest and pouch to an ME input and run some exporters to pulverizers and you have a pretty good pipeline. An hour of mining at the right level usually nets me 5-6 stacks of iron...

Igneous extruders or TWO BUCKETS come to mind as well.

The jetboots let you actually gain height while flying forward. The peak speed is from the sprint assist.

I am glad to see my video is circulating (but yikes to my S3 bill the last few months). Isamu lost the race with me and now General Galaxy won the contract. YF-21s for everyone. There are exactly 3 tricks to how I got that fast: Maxed out sprint assist; run then jump. Maxed out power jetboots...

Maybe, but who cares? If it is obsidian you want, there are much better ways to get it in ftb.

Well, err, thanks!

Applied Energistics can do this quite elegantly. An export bus in redstone-on mode and a level emitter also work amazingly well. You can keep processing coal coke until you have a minimum level of coal coke. The setup I have (well had, tore it down moving my base) actually use a liquid detector...

The Immibis stuff works off a push mentality with no drops. So what you do is have a HUGE buffer chest of fertilizer with an autarchic void pipe to stop overflows (or just have a second teleposer output to a lava block with a lower priority) and then ou can emit all your fertilizer onto the...
