Well, I finally decided to connect my laser drill back to the rest of my energy conduits. They're all leadstone, so the energy output is fairly limited, but it's still progress towards having a functional laser drill.

I just completed the final prerequisite for the quests that require getting loads of blocks (The ME quest). Some of them (glacial) look too easy, some (oak wood) are just a matter of setting up a planter/harvester/fertilizer setup, some (soul sand) can be done in a single trip to the nether if...

Classic case of "RTFM" from me. Thanks for the answer and for reminding me of the entire quest chain.

In order to make steel to make a big reactor, you need a high oven? How does it work with smelteries, should I replace one or both of them? What if I don't want alloys? Basically, I need to find out about high ovens.

Oh, okay. That's nice to know. I did the nether ore quest the hard way: By actually heading into the nether. Flight potions are really awesome, though I'm down to my last 2 doses. I really need to get into blood magic so I can craft more... Haven't gotten to the wand of equal trade... As for...

Before I head off into the gym, I have a quick question to ask: Where am I to find yellorium ingots? Is the only place to find them with the laser drill? If so, then is there a way to increase the chance of finding it, or is it just up to the RNG gods for benevolent malevolent they feel?

Would the fact that I'm using leadstone also be somewhat of a buffer, as it only lets 50 RF/tick through, or is it still going to cause my energy supply to drain fast? And any suggestions on what else I can use to power my machines other than magmatics? They're good for the moment, but I might...

I should probably power my laser drill as well, but I'm worried that the precharger would use too much of my energy that my magmatic dynamos are producing, thus getting in the way of powering my other devices.

Whew. I finally managed to get a reasonable amount of automation going. I have pulverizers pulverizing cobblestone to gravel, 2 outputs of which go to AA's, a third going to another pulverizer which pulverizes the gravel to sand which is then fed to a cyclic assembler to use the apatite I've...

Do magnum torches stop all hostile mob spawning relative to just X and Z coordinates, or via the Y coordinate as well? (Y coordinate is altitude, in case you forgot) For example, if I put a magnum torch at X: 0, Y: 20 and Z:0, will mobs still be able to spawn at 0;90;0 (because the Y coordinate...

Alright. I guess I won't take any chances and just use 2 smelteries to guarantee a 100% alloyless smelting. If I need alloys, well, that's what induction furnaces are for.

Wait...quick question: Is there a chance for an alloy to be made if my smeltery immediately pumps metals into tanks? If so, then so be it, but if not, then why am I bothering with 2 smelteries?

...how are you supposed to whitelist/blacklist fluids in fluiducts? I figured my best option with smeltery automatization was to separate liquids into their individual tanks, but once I tried it, all the tanks started receiving liquid gold, meaning the other liquids had nowhere to go. Now I also...

To be fair, you don't need that many books. You need 3 to make a bookcase for the thaumnomnomicon (or however it's spelled) and...that's really it, I think. Maybe a few more books for infusions, but that's it for Thaumcraft's demand for books as far as I am aware. Maybe I'm just not far enough...

1. It's my cobblestone generator. I've learned about the existence of the igneous extruder after creating it, so it felt like a shame to just tear it down. Basically, 6 block breakers are giving me a solid amount of cobblestone, and the barrel's already over 40k pieces of cobble. 2. The...

Alright, I've more or less finished taking care of my smeltery automatization. All I have left is to wait until they're completely empty and then activate my itemducts. I've split my itemducts into 2 directions leading to 2 smelteries, so I can avoid any alloys being made.

I'm not automating the process with liquiducts. I'm using itemducts to bring broken ores to the smeltery. I'm still going to make 2 different smelteries to avoid making alloys.

I've completely overhauled my base and my automation. It still looks like a mess, probably moreso than before, but now I've got more automation. First of all, the main array and bulk of my mess. That upgraded barrel is collecting cobble from my generator. Secondly, my remade farm. It's the...

Ugh, nevermind...the problem was the smeltery was still stuffed full of coal, flint and other stuff that can't be smelted. Removed them, the smeltery started working fine until for some reason it stopped creating ingots because, appearantly, at the bottom there's 0 ml of invar. Yeah, that makes...

I am now trying to automate my smeltery, but I've ran into a roadblock: My itemducts, once again, refuse to send any items into the smeltery. Everything's set up correctly. I even put in a pneumatic servo and made it into a whitelist that only sends broken ores into the smeltery. Before that it...
