You can also put the importing router on the same side as the exporting one, which would save you some ME cables. But then you run into the issue of not having enough sides for export buses. I solve that problem with Gregtech's small electric buffers. I like that they only have one buffer slot...

Well, if we go with the less secure but more convenient wireless redstone, one would simply place a transmitter on each detector, and three receivers on an AND gate connected to a door. As long as you positioned the three detectors to overlap only in the area you wanted an effect, you'd get no...

Triangulation, nice. Never thought of that. Could probably reuse a sensor more than once, too. Now I'm imagining a grid of player detectors under the floor and in the ceiling used to determine a player's exact coordinates within an area...oh, the fun that could be had!

It's a very handy tool. I had a wither combat arena set up made out of warded stone with an arcane door, and a forcefield projector that would activate as long as a player was in the arena, to add another layer of protection. The arcane door made it very convenient to enter and exit even while...

I use a combination of linking books and Portal Gun portals. Occasionally the Portal Gun portals will glitch and stop working, and then I fly like Superman using the Power Suit. Took me a while to catch up to that tunnel bore 6 km away...

The glass panes look really cool. Did you modify the texture pack, or are they a block I haven't encountered?

If you have an nVidia card and still want anti-aliasing without the glitches, enable FXAA in the control panel. It looks almost as good as 4x (better in some spots too), doesn't glitch, and is faster.

Any good with lua? I made a silo door that moves on two axes and slides under the ground, controlled by a computer. It was much more compact than designing a circuit, and easier to modify or adjust on the fly, too.

Regarding upcoming changes for the 1.5 version: From http://ae-mod.info/dev/ Of all the changes in the list, I think these are my favorite. I've been missing NEI's right-click/clear functionality, so much so that rather than deleting a search in the terminal, I've been closing it and...

Well let me give an example of a usage for such a pseudo-manager block. I was experimenting with Modular Power Suits for the first time and wanted to make it convenient, so I set up a chest with a handful of each component. There are about 19 different parts in use by the tinkering table right...

What I would like to see is a combination interface/storage bus that works just like a Redpower manager. For example, I wish to tell AE to keep this iron chest stocked with 8 flowers at all times, and import anything that does not match the filter. You can do exactly this with an interface and...

The thing to watch for with this is that AE will still place items in the interface even if there aren't enough to satisfy the filter. For example, if you tell the interface to keep 9 lapis lazuli stocked and you only have 6 in the system, it'll put those 6 in the interface and jam up the...

I used it to consolidate my lava power room from geothermals/magmatics to just geothermals and the converter blocks. While it works well to supply a separate MJ grid, I wish there was still a one-block solution available for EU -> MJ, as then I wouldn't even need an MJ grid. I can't have 3...

Regarding the first question, not that I know of. An exclusion mode for filters/sorting machines would be nice, for sure. Managers might be able to do it.

Some mods have had success with multi-core processing (Rei's minimap and Optifine off the top of my head), and my other 3 cores don't do much while I play. This suggestion probably increases the complexity of the problem exponentially, but it sure would be nice to be able to over-engineer my...

I use Dynmap. http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1543523-dynmap-dynamic-web-based-maps-for-minecraft/ It has a high upfront CPU/rendering cost, but it is compatible out of the box with many FTB mods, and mikeprimm, the author, responds to Github tickets very quickly. Also, if you're willing...

I wonder how difficult it would be for a knowledgeable modder (such as sp614x, Optifine author) to fix this. It seems to me that tile entity rendering is the single biggest drag on Minecraft's performance. I imagine it could work along the lines of the occlusion feature (the name escapes me at...

While testing this on my own, I stumbled across something interesting. I forgot to aim the bore up, so it immediately harvested the deployer which had a stack of iron ore. The bore ejected a stack of native clusters. Here's my variation on your design. I think I've made it as small and...

MCEdit doesn't play well with modded blocks. I've heard of a turtle program that can reconstruct a structure from a schematic file, so maybe there is also one to deconstruct a building and save it to a schematic file.

Fun...and evil. You're a bad person. In a good way.
