I think there are 1-way valves you can install to force the flow in a certain direction. If you're going for hardmode and/or a more realistic look to your base, these pipes are hard to beat. However, if you are going for reliability, I'd use eIO fluid conduits. There 3 tiers of them.

I'll also throw in for server admins : if every upgrade went smoothly, it wouldn't be a big job / a big deal. But, very few upgrades go smoothly. If there aren't world issues, there are mod/config/feature issues, and then there are almost always client issues. If everything goes well, nobody...

They work perfectly, yes. I have a wall of JABBA barrels with eIO conduits behind them. The ones with the void upgrade such as cobblestone dirt, gravel, flint, wood, saplings, etc.,. work perfectly. They fill up and I never get anything in my lower-priority / default "overflow" chest.

Perfect - thanks !

Anyone built a fluid storage system with overflow voiding ? The analogy in solid/items is a JABBA barrel with the Void Upgrade (2 Pistons + 1 Obsidian). The only way off the top of my head I can think of implementing such a "void when full" system for fluids is putting a simple BC wooden fluid...

Yes, should build BBF before the large boilers. The BBF is the bridge/gateway between Bronze Age and Steel Age, and the Large Boilers - even the bronze - are Steel Age and beyond devices. The purpose of the Large Bronze Boiler is to re-use all that bronze from the BBF. Note the Large Steel...

Re: Minechem nerf Pre-nerf, it was a little too close to this:

What @Azkeel said. Diamonds may or may not quick (easy) to find. Just keep at it, though. You will eventually find them. And, once you do, you will have enough diamonds to last you until at *least* HV age. Once you're in HV age, pretty much all of MineChem is unlocked. Also, bees can be used to...

To add to @Pyure's valuable advice, I also would not recommend updating mods in this pack. @Jason McRay spends considerable time analyzing fixes and features in newer versions of the mods, and then updates the configs and Minetweaker scripts accordingly to maintain balance and an overall...

I use eIO item conduits exclusively these days. 1. Start with a single Alveary/Apiary. 2. Place 1 eIO item conduit on a face of the Apiary/Alveary that can extract and insert. 3. Set to in/out (dual) mode. Use same color for in and out (default green is fine). 4. In 'extract' set to...

:p

Agreed. Iridum is, IMHO, next tier after Tungstensteel. Hence, building a big contraption that requires Tungstensteel to make Iridium is OK. But, since Osmium is next tier after Iridium, it should be (much) more difficult to make Osmium.

Yes, what @Pyure said. @Dlur100 Also, the front (face) of the machine won't accept pipe connections. Personally, I use the back for power and top and bottom for i/o.

I have a GTX 760. It's not the flagship, but it's still too much video card for Minecraft (i.e more $$ than you need to spend for MC), but it is quiet and very stable. No video card crashes so far in MC or any other games. Note the 970 is out and it's about the same price. If I built my system...

^^^ This I think Jason and co. have done a great job so far of ensuring things are balanced (mainly relative to GT) and that gameplay is consistent across all mods. Preserving that gameplay with Minechem synthesis doesn't seem easy, but it indeed should be a goal to strive for.

Yes. We've done stuff with Binnie's bees, trees, and machines. No problems so far.

Like AE2, you can break up your eIO networks into sub-networks. To do that, place any inventory in between, such as a chest. For example, export from one eIO network into another using a chest. Then, import into the 2nd eIO network from that chest. Also, since I use JABBA barrels a lot, 95% of...

No special configs for Binnie's. I just enabled it.

Yes, RC wants to push only when >50% full of steam. <50%, and you have to pull. Also, I don't know of a way to get all the steam from a GT boiler *other than* directly adjacent to an RC tank since no piping system in this pack is capable of extracting that rate of steam from a single GT Output...

I have three output hatches lined up with three RC tank valves, but the animation of steam is only on the bottom one, leading me to believe only the bottom hatch is being used. And, it's a Tungstensteel outputting prodigious steam.
