Uhm, that's because rubies already are sapphires. Technically, both are "Corundum". They are an Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3) crystal with various impurities that give it the different colors. Chromium in the case of the red for a ruby. So, really, you would just need to reprocess a sapphire to remove...

You realize you contradicted yourself there, right?:) They do have a functional difference. At night or in the rain, compact solars do nothing. Advanced solars however still produce 1/8 their normal power. Also, advanced solars have internal buffers which further negate the night/rain issue.

Not possible. Very different versions of minecraft.

I find it to be perfectly clear. It says dev, because it means development. Just because some people choose to attach more to it than that, does not mean it is the source of confusion. The individuals are really the cause. That being said, I do think a 4th category would benefit all...

Ahh, never thought about that. When I used generators, I just toss in scaffolds:)

Combustion engines ability to explode should also never be forgotten. No matter how perfect you design a system, things just go wrong sometimes. I had a perfect sorting system that could handle probably 6+ quarries at 100 MJ/t each, using redpower tubes with proper overflow and buffers and...

That information is massively out of date. Notice how it mentions using wooden conductive pipes with redstone engines? This is from minecraft 1.2.5 That being said, if I'm reading the current config correctly, it's still a perfectly efficient system ( IE: if you did like OP going EU->BC->EU...

To clarify: A user loads hundreds of chunks. If you place the pump and stuff correctly, it loads one chunk. Also, I have a server for me and another person, we have multiple chunk loaders usually loading 9 chunks, and a pair of quarries which load 34 chunks ( 16 chunks each quarry is digging...

FYI: Pulverizer blaze powder was nerfed, only nets 4 now instead of 6 putting it behind the macerator at 5. ( at least on the current direwolf pack ) Unfortunately I can't really help you out OP. I would just start digging down and forward until you see lava, then you should be able to get out...

I don't think you quite understand just HOW inefficient what you are trying to do is OP. I would def. go with something direct like the others said, or just build a separate power station. If you are using conduit: You lose 5% power going into the redstone cell, 5% going into the tesseract, 25%...

It might be better to use a turtle underneath the quarry to pick it up. Turning off the power to a quarry often takes awhile for the quarry to stop. My current setup lets the quarry continue for around 15 seconds after I shut it off:(

I would go so far as to say break all the pipes in the area where the sound is loud and replace them. If a pipe ever gets too many items in it for some reason, it starts chain exploding. If you have any kind of loop to prevent items falling to the floor, completely replace it as well. Just off...

BTW: Don't forget to check newegg as some great deals often pop up there. Such as: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227438R&IsVirtualParent=1 That computer has an nvidia 660, 16 gigs of RAM plus I believe it's a hybrid hard drive. It mentions 500 gig 7200 but in the...

Something to note though is it ignores daylight. Useful in the overworld since mobs could just spawn at night...but eternal day ages it shows as mobs being able to spawn most everywhere, even though it will never be night and actually allow it. Also, it's not just light levels. It correctly...

Those recipes are added by gregtech is the problem.

I'm still learning the new system myself, so I can't really help you. However, it does appear to be missing some things and produces an unstable ( slightly ) age. It has the same requirements as before, so you need something a couple features such as villages, glowstone crystals, etc...

NP, glad I could help:) While they do check for compatibility issues, they also allow you to build truly low quality computers. This is for those that wish to get a cheap computer just to browse facebook and such. Minecraft is also a bit of an oddball. It's very sensitive and if you don't...

Companies like ibuypowerpc that build the computers for you, test for compatibility. Really though, compatibility issues are a thing of the past. ( Thank god too. My first computer was a nightmare of incompatibilities. ) As well as most any computer can run it. Don't expect 500 fps. Minecraft...

I would definitely recommend watching some DW20 vids then. He is always looking for different ways to automate things. There's the classic solar factory, which he went so far as to create a system of Fabricators that turn UU matter into all of the basic items. Cook/pulverize the ones that need...

Mine loads fine. About 4 seconds from clicking the shortcut to everything being populated and pressing launch. I do have it on a SSD. Perhaps check to see if you need to defrag.
