Cinnabar is also a by product of pulverizing silk touched redstone. It's where I get all of mine.

After rereading this I realized everything is exactly how I do it. Enderchest to import bus (then later a tesserac feeding the enderchest). That way both tesseracs and enderchests can be used to feed ME.

Yea, that thingy. :D

I think MS failure there is due to the fact their apps are sooooooooo bare and featureless. I have been very drawn to a pad using Win 8, but after my experiences with their apps on my win8 comp I steered shy. However, in the context of your comment, if they follow the same philosophy with MC...

Phew, made through all 15 pages :D Been playing for a few days off and on. Still haven't even reached a basic ore processing setup, mostly because I'm totally out of my normal element here and don't even know where to start for a basic ore processing machine. Looking forward to watching the...

Actually most of the size is for the multiple turbines. AFAICT, using the lava boilers would have little impact on the total area required.

Color me with low expectations.

Yes storage bus to deep storage is by far the better way as you can still see the inventory from the AE. After setting the deep storage up, I run all my cells through whatever AE machine it is that transfers cell content then re insert them in a drive, this kind of defrags the cells at the same...

You mean like a quarry pit under your base? http://prntscr.com/7orafa :D

Yes, I've started using the reactor glass more to make it more interesting, and I'm looking at designs for reactor buildings to help with aesthetics. Still hard to beat the giant wheel design in big reactors tutorial.

Does that 17 blocks include all the piping/conduit? Because I'm thinking your number actually doubles at that point due to logistics. It does all boil down to personal preference in the end, better is highly subjective here.

http://prntscr.com/7orafa http://prntscr.com/7orcz9 http://prntscr.com/7ord8c Beginning of last setup with main reactor and an experimental reactor. The permanent reactor was a bit larger than the one in center and was both passive and actively cooled. It powered 8 turbines. The main...

lol, ok, I'll give you points just for coming up with that phrase thats even somewhat valid in concept. :)

I haven't yet checked out the cost, but I'm skeptical that 30-40 boilers and 6-8 lava fabs take that much less material than a reactor. Most of the reactor is casing, which is graphite (coal/charcoal), iron and yellorium (one recipe makes 4 casing). By the time you build one large enough to...

Definitely interested in this.

I've never used cursed earth for anything, I've seen it mentioned twice today for farming. Guess I need to check that out. I have an attracter obelisk in the end right now and will prob set up a killer joe on it. Or just catch an enderman and put in a spawner. Got too many projects going already...

There are many ways to turn uranium into yellorium, but by far the easiest is simply placing uranium ingots in a barrel containing yellorium ingots which will instantly convert them. I have not tried this with ores.

I use the liquid nodes to tesserac. lol so in addition to 30-40 boilers I would need 2-3 lava fabs and 2-3 transposers? vs one reactor? Interesting and creative idea but a reactor seems a lot more attractive at this point for a clean streamlined setup.

As for storage, TE energy cells early and mid game. Late game would be either or both EIO capacitors and Draconic energy cube. I will usually build a 1 billion rf bank of caps then Draconic. The max size energy cube holds over 2 trillion rf. the most I've had in one was 1.xx trillion rf. that...

I'm usually running 6-8 turbines, 4 for lasers and the rest for base power. 30-40 boilers seems a lot less space efficient than a single reactor. What powers those boilers? I see you mentioned coal for startup. Will they run on rf?
