    Doing some research in the newest IC2_Exp build[138]

    I just mean that, while BC logistic is cheap and simple, it is no longer only option to transport and sort things. EDIT. Also, it is not only option for building/quarrying too. MFFS 3.0 (and RP before it) does both. Probably not as cheap, but otherwise way better.

    What's your most fun moment in Minecraft?

    Oh, yeah, non-hover jetpacking is indeed most fun thing in IC2. Got bored mining? Fire laser straight up, jetpack ICBM-style, in two sexonds you are on surface. I even switched to vertical base layout, because moving up and down with jetpack (and good ol gravity) is way faster and funner than...

    Now lots of mods and even vanilla can do logistics. BC role is quarries and especially fillers.Aaan IC2 things are UU and Mining Laser.

    Modpack with only open source mods?

    What's your most fun moment in Minecraft?

    First time playing Minecraft. I have seen converted Broville map in Ace of Spades and wanted to check out original... And then after some time I realised that no, map does not wrap around, but goes nearly forever. And then when I first started playing SMP.

    Modpack with only open source mods?

    Don't need everything. Need enough. List of open source mods is quite long http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/List_of_Open_Source_Forge_Mods Question is, how many of them are active, and how much can they do together. I don't plan to stop playing closed source mods either. But playing...

    Modpack with only open source mods?

    Power suit can be charged using Power Converter mod (by PowerCrystals).

    Modpack with only open source mods?

    There is nothing wrong with closed source mods, maybe except dying suddenly one day when author lose interest. 1.5.2 will do. I'll check better storages and mekanism, thanks. Powersuits can't be charged with BC? Pity:(

    Modpack with only open source mods?

    Is there anything like this around? Also, is it possible to cover all the needs with only open source mods? Between BC, Logistic Pipes, MFR and Modular Powersuit it seems I'd have all - logistic, processing and tools... Maybe except ore doubling :/ What else should I add?

    MJ Transportation, No Tesseracts

    For a FTB server, the number of people is not as important as the number of machines running in loaded chunks.

    MJ Transportation, No Tesseracts

    Well, when your server will drop to 5 tps without players, look up Anchor Sentinel here http://railcraft.wikispaces.com/World Anchor (Device) :)

    MJ Transportation, No Tesseracts

    You don't have to keep entire square loaded. Railcraft loaders allow chunkloading in 1x9 chunk stripes. Perfect for pipe, cable and rail network.

    Mechanics behind IC2 cables

    I don't think there are new versions. And it works like this: each generated packet is split between all available consumer inverse-proportionally to EU loss on the way to them (or 0.1 EU, if loss is smaller). So, if

    MJ Transportation, No Tesseracts

    Transport fuel or batteries and generate on site. If you have Thermal Expansion, you can convert MJ to lava, fill lava into buckets with liquid transposer, convert lava back to MJ on site with Magmatic Engine (10% loss, though) and send empty bucket back.

    How to milk cows in 1.6.2?

    I dunno if it has changed, but I have found that sending buckets of milk back and forth to where fuel is needed is way faster than liquid pipes and does not require extra pipe network.

    The Perfect Energy System

    I think only thing that BC (by itself) really lacks is energy storage. Not for long-term energy stockpiling (there are fuel tanks for that), but for buffering enrgy between engines and machines.

    The Perfect Energy System

    I think Buildcraft system is now the best, and will be even better in 4.0

    UU-Matter production thread

    900 eu/t + 200 mj/t, that is one UU per 10 seconds or so. Junk generator not included, but you can make pretty compact and economic one with filler, mining wells and a forcefield generator.
