The Bio Reator was quite underwhelming for me. I got much better performance from a combustion engine.

Oh my god. This is so badass. Every time someone uses redpower tey are cheating.

MFR is great, but nothing beats SC2 for perpetual motion. A properly built tree cart may spill items, but it can't stop won't stop. Whereas an MFR system needs local power and so if you ever do have a breakdown your resource input will slow down.

I didn't know that. Do you lose the bucket?

Lava doesn't work in boilers anymore. Steam boilers can be powered in a huge variety of ways and steam is the most flexible, transportable power in the FTB universe. It's just not very dense per unit, so you need to be able to handle a substantial flow of steam (and don't use it as a battery)...

He should because that barrel RP2 bridge is bo-jankity. He's going to need a buffer chest and filter just to hope that works. His problem is type collision. Make sure to wire up a lever to turn it off! No sense wasting power. ApiSciMorgs uses a lever next to a redstone energy cell on our...

Didn't Immibis do something like this as part of his mod? Maybe RP2 should just leave that to a 3rd party so that everyone can benefit. Immibis's microblocks work on a surprising number of things.

Which might be due for some tweaking now that Charge is generated by steam. There actually is an author-specified metric of comparison.

Oh I agree, generally. I much prefer when left to my own devices to NOT be maxgaming unless I discover something new. For example, I'm considering powering sawmills with a REC powered by a factorization steam boiler. Those sawmills will then feed real solid fuel boilers to start, and later I...

You can make basic gates with the investment of 2 diamonds. When does early game stop and mid-game begin? Diamonds?

Are they? Sucking up huge sums of power for what a ton of other mods have been doing for months with a fraction of that power seems questionable from a metagame perspective. I don't see tweak options in the config. Steve's Carts 2 or Minefactory Reloaded (and for some crops, Thaumcraft) do such...

I'm pleased about this. I can include PowerConverters without hesitation now. All I'd do is disable steam consumers.

Well, note how the cold hobbyist steam engine doesn't generate power until it builds up temperature. :) This is a good point. On our server we actually raided a nearby village for beeswax to get our initial waterproofing going.

This is not my passionate face. Make sure to note how well your TE pipeline is keeping up with the workload.

I'm not sure why you'd call it "pointless." Data is data. :) But you can't use 2 iron (efficiency) tubes? I thought I did exactly this on my DW20 server. The forestry documentation suggests that if you do the ratio would be 3:2. Or so Forestry's wiki implies. The choke is just supposed to be...

It drops the wither really fast. It's one of the best tools for that.

They are terrible before you have energy buffering. They are quite good after it. To get past the warmup period you need a lot of work. That's not the pattern I (or most people) experience in early workshops. You mine for a bit, get full, come back and dump in a hopper, then mine some more...

No I meant a real CC botnet. Like, if HTTP is on I could join your server and have it join a botnet that would flood real-world targets.

Usually the rolling recipes are homogenous. You first set the pattern then it'll automatically produce when the materials are available. If you left-click on the arrow, even the pattern objects will be passed through. Don't feel bad, it's a confusing interface. Nearly as bad as the carpenter.
