    Roughing it. I approve. :D

    Strength = distance in normal redstone from 0 to 15. So convert the percentage to that scale, then place a repeater that far away from the comparator. Proceed as normal from there. This is, of course, the Vanilla way to do things.

    No worries. :) Just be careful when you start in on Reactorcraft. Both of those biomes will play havoc with your reactor temp.

    Then go for a pool over glowstone. Or a pool over glass over lava. The second option has the advantage of looking really really cool.

    That's almost nothing. Move your pump closer. I usually shoot for 200 kPa.

    Did you have water in the engine before heating it? Or did you light the netherrack first, then worry about water?

    I always use a dc engine on a Rotarycraft pump for extraction. The sandstone pipe from Rotarycraft also adds pressure to a pipe when pulling from a third party tank. Edit: ninja'd by Santa.

    You could try roofing the field with ExU dark glass, with downgraded mfr planters placing single shrooms spaced well away from each other, and Reika's diamond block breakers harvesting the area around the seed mushrooms periodically. Still gonna be slow though.

    I don't think so. And even if they do, it's heinously slow and will not fill a region. If you want to farm mushrooms in daylight, mycelium + bonemeal for giant shrooms is likely to be your best option.

    So, since neither Big Reactors, nor Rotarycraft, nor Resonant Induction, nor Engineers Toolbox are 1.7 yet, is there any way to generate large amounts of power in one place for 1.7?

    So, a million years ago, the builder from buildcraft (the whole point of the mod, imho) was horribly bugged and would eat worlds. Is that still true?

    Need Some Ideas For My Castle!

    Well said, and it's true that terraces were very common in more ancient castles, such as Dover, but there was still a lot of flattening, ramping, and terraforming that went on. That's why they took decades or centuries to build. However, I still say that if you want a decent and realistically...

    Need Some Ideas For My Castle!

    I think you underestimate your ancestors. I've built a number of castles, including a 1:1 scale reproduction of Walmer Castle from England. Walmer was small, as castles go, and it has a massive footprint, with an excavated dry moat twice its size, shored up by a curtain wall whose top was level...

    Need Some Ideas For My Castle!

    Yes and no. This is good advice, but it can be a bit limiting for really large builds. IRL, most things are built on fairly flat ground, or at least have the foundation excavated, which is one reason most cities are built in valleys or on plains. Minecraft plains are more like gently rolling...

    Magic mod based around astronomica, astrophysics, and tons of other space-related things - A concept

    These. These should be the same thing. A late game multi-block the size of a lvl 5 blood altar that requires stone/materials from each planet that slowly spins with the planets. If you feed it craploads of power/mana/steam it can slow or speed up the orbits of the real stars.

    Nice. I tend to forget about the sludge boiler when not playing skyblocks.

    That's a really good question. I know there's some sort of round-robin functionality in TE itemducts, but I don't really know how it works.

    I honestly don't know where you should go. Try asking for someone on the irc who will help you troubleshoot a homebrew pack. Just don't make demands. Nobody here is obligated to help, even the moderators are just Joes who want to provide a free community to discuss modded minecraft. This isn't...
