    What should i do with all this wheat?

    For a slightly less disturbing commentary on the slaughterhouse theme (and the cowkiller9001), the most difficult and time consuming problem I had was getting enough pink slime that I could setup a liquid router to automatically handle incoming slime. Someone out there probably has a better...

    What should i do with all this wheat?

    After you get 4 buckets of pink slime, you can safely change the slaughterhouse into a grinder. Quite a few machines run off mob essence and having a constantly replenishing source of it is difficult to beat.

    To many connections on one block....

    You might be able to get it down to 2 connections using extrautils transferpipes. They'll transfer liquid, solid, and power on the same line supposedly. You'd need one input and one output face.

    What should i do with all this wheat?

    This. The CowKiller9001 is an device that is perfect for taking care of all of your excess wheat problems, <customer>! Simply insert wheat into the Breeder and watch those walking bags of meat and leather get turned into space efficient meat cubes (or mob essence, if you flip the handy-dandy...

    How can I figure out what is sucking the power out of my Redstone Energy Cell?

    You know, now that other people are mentioning it, I had a similar problem with stored energy drain that I couldn't solve..but in retrospect it went away after I removed my laser from the network. I had a REC with 4 gate controlled (emit when can store power) engines outputting a combined 16...

    Thermal Expansion Status

    I seem to recall reading a statement from someone (it probably wasn't official) that MJ was never meant to be stored as well. Make power, use power, lose excess power. Just $0.02.

    Anybody know a TRUE, cheap replacement for pneumatic tubes?

    Within the limits of the criteria you set, probably not. Extra utile transfer pipes are probably the closest

    What the Sludge?

    it puts out a poison/hunger aura when working.

    Anybody know a TRUE, cheap replacement for pneumatic tubes?

    ME cable was nicer when you got more per craft, yes, but it's mostly a matter of keeping enough glass on hand.

    Anybody know a TRUE, cheap replacement for pneumatic tubes?

    I had an LP setup to work with my MFR tree farm. It was cool, but I didn't get a good feel for how much power it was really using (vs what an ME system might have used for similar operations). But since I had to have power anyway, the extra couple of mj per few operations didn't seem like a...

    Limiting amount of a certain resource in an AE network

    I don't think you need any level emitters for this. I have, for things I never want to keep more than 4096 of, a wall of barrels. Each barrel has a storage bus attached to the top. The storage bus is set to priority 3. The storage bus is set to only accept one item. I also have a storage...

    Anybody know a TRUE, cheap replacement for pneumatic tubes?

    I guess I just don't understand why you'd want to do that. I keep seeing 'AE isn't good for all that processing' (or variations), and I don't get it. Why is your setup superior (computationally, emotionally, memory, processor, whatever) to, say.. quarry to ender chest. AE system has import...

    I keep crashing my server (Unleashed 1.1.3), help.

    Thanks folks. I asked the server admin to up the permgen and it made a pretty big difference on server responsiveness. He made frowny faces about how it wasn't defaulted higher.

    I keep crashing my server (Unleashed 1.1.3), help.

    I'm not the server admin. What is the PermGen error?

    I keep crashing my server (Unleashed 1.1.3), help.

    I'm hoping someone can suggest, maybe, what I'm doing wrong because I haven't been able to figure out what combination of stupid I put together that keeps bringing this server to its knees. I have a small base a bit away from spawn. I have attempted to confirm (via /chunkloaders) that no part...

    I need to play with that thing some more, but it has be very unreliable for me.

    What farms are the best?

    If you don't want to spend time breeding trees, MFR or Steve's Carts. I favor MFR because it's a well contained mod. Some sewers, a half dozen cows, one composter, and you can support a large number of tree farms, getting enough saplings to support the MFR bio generator, or to squeeze for...

    What farms are the best?

    This. My experience is that a harvester (unmodded) will examine the 3x3 area in front of it for signs of something to harvest. Once it detects that there's something that needs to be harvested, it starts checking a much larger area (and I think that the area searched depends on what is...

    Finding an End Portal

    Ah. I'm unlikely to add GT to a modpack (I don't even use IC2 at this point), but that's good to know, thanks. Yeah. Last vanilla server I played on, 2 out of 3 of the strongholds were broken, and I do not know how the third one wasn't. The portal was floating over the middle of a ravine with...

    Finding an End Portal

    I know how to find them, mechanically, but thanks for the summation. In every case, I have used ender eyes to locate the position where the portal should be and have proceeded to try to find them. In two worlds, the eyes took me to a location with no stronghold, no portal, no nothing, and no...
