So....I'm back from my first space tour to the moon. Observations: (1) This mod has a nice mood. The oxygen system creates a convincing atmosphere of being in a hostile environment. However, if you die it's impossible to break your gravestone and recover your equipment before you die again. I...

Actually, I would recommend at least one tree farm. I have one with just eight of those giant jungle trees, and it's enough wood, used in the right way, to generate more than 200 EU/t. I suspect I could push it as high as 300 EU/t if I bothered to build another RC steam boiler.

I sympathize. At this point you usually don't know on which project to work first since everything is critical and you're overwhelmed with stuff you have to learn, or want to learn. Everything is slow as well because you're lacking power. Things will get more comfortable once you've found a...

@Tsuko: I understand you do have a steam generation system, so why don't you use rechargeable batteries? The only reason I can see for using single-use batteries is that they're crafted fully-charged, so they act as a power source with sulfur (I guess, since it's more common than mercury) as a...

Do your dimensional anchors have fuel? They're configured to require fuel by default, and remain inactive if they haven't any. If you don't want them to require fuel, you can change this in the config file. I think it was immibis.cfg or something like that.

It's easier to just add BoP without removing ExtraBiomesXL. They are perfectly compatible, and you need to do nothing but add the mod. No problems on load either.

Why would anyone automate things with single-use batteries? That's a waste of resources, and the lead you need for the battery alloy isn't exactly common early in the game. However, if you use rechargeable batteries, you can automate cable-less power transport by using an MFE and a GT...

I had calculated with a dome, which would cut the number to approximately a quarter of that: 0.5*5^3*(4/3)*PI. Apart from the difference in structure, free-floating cubes of leaf blocks don't make any sense except in a space station. That I can build them in spite of that doesn't count.

The GC wiki says you need 115 leaf blocks to support a bubble distributor, but the collector's range is only 5 blocks, which means you only have about 250 air blocks to fill if you plant the collector on the ground. I take it the wiki isn't correct?

Is the liquifier craftable now? If so, I may be able to test this later this day. Another thing: I found an RFTools config file in InfiTech2's config folder. Are there plans to include RFTools? With appropriate recipe changes, I think it would make a fine addition to the EV tier (at least for...

Please tell me it's silverwood planks, not logs. The latter would be prohibitively expensive...

One thing to consider is that the EnderIO farming station can handle Ender Pearl farms, and that you can make Endstone (there's a TiC recipe with obsidian and a little liquified Ender). Planting Ender Lilies on endstone give you a chance for a second seed when harvesting so eventually you'll...

Meanwhile, a new method for moving Aura Nodes has surfaced: Automagy 0.25 has a new research item for a method to move aura nodes with no chance of degradation. It is expensive in vis (you'll need a staff, a wand can't hold enough) and you'll need a lot of Warded Glass (at first glance it's like...

You can set an export stacksize for the chest buffer? How do you set the number? An unrelated question: Is is possible to convert GT oxygen into GalactiCraft oxygen? GalactiCraft oxygen generation is easy, but this - different materials that are supposed to be the same but don't convert into...

Unfortunately not, but one conduit or pipe can connect to multiple regulators and items will be sorted according to the regulators' configuration.

The regulator works like this: It only accepts items you define in its gui, so you can use an unfiltered pipe to put stuff in. For every item, you can define the stack size at which the items will get sent on to the connected machine, and the target slot. For the tiny dusts and the packager, the...

Here's what's probably the final layout (if not necessarily the final tier of machines) of my ore processing facility, still with exposed cabling and conduits since I haven't decided what the floor will look like. This is a two-line processing setup that can handle almost all ores with minimal...

The level of the battery buffer determines the output voltage. An LV battery buffer with N slots will always output N amps at LV. It may be able to output fewer amps depending on what the machines request, but it will never output any other voltage than LV, regardless of the cable you're using...

Ah yes, platinum and blue allow 8x cables can transport 16 amps. Is this for a close-range machine park? I think you can connect platinum cables to an LV battery, but if it's a longer-range connection and you want to minimize loss, it's better to uptransform your power. That also makes the...

I've been using Steve's Workshop production tables for (manual) crafting since, well, forever. Just having four crafting grids in one GUI accelerates crafting greatly. I don't know how tools can get lost in crafting table variants but it never happened to me. Nikolite is a Red Power 2 ore that...
