    Is there a mod-alternative to RP2's Red Alloy Wire?

    I am currently running some testing in a 1.5.1 modpack that I've thrown together. The one thing I really need an equivalent of until RP2 comes out with an official update with, is the Red Alloy Wire. Is there another mod out there that creates a version of this stuff that I can use in the interim?

    1.5.2 pack..

    I have had a custom made 1.5.1 pack (built in MultiMC) that I have been using for the better part of a week or more now and.. thanks to ID Resolver... it works like a charm. The only issue I have is with some interaction between Forestry / Extra Bees and Inventory Tweaks: if I try to sort a...

    Sorting Items into Chests / Storage (1.5.x)

    The hoppers are not touching ANY of the barrels, neither are the machines. The machines are on the ground, with hoppers on top. The barrels are arranged in a row starting TWO BLOCKS above the hoppers. Every time I fed something into the router I would see colored streaks whip through the air in...

    Sorting Items into Chests / Storage (1.5.x)

    First off: Cool your jets there, space cadet. I've never even HEARD of Infinitubes and cursory searches on YouTube for a Mod Spotlight of it is pulling up nil results. I am reading up on it right now but it is honestly not even remotely as capable as the RedPower Sorting Machines. An RP...

    Sorting Items into Chests / Storage (1.5.x)

    I will celebrate the day that KingLemming adds item transport pipes to Thermal Expansion. The current options in 1.5.1 (which means no Red Power sorting machines) is abysmal.

    Sorting Items into Chests / Storage (1.5.x)

    Ah okay that totally explains the problem. Wow that is going to be a lot of diamond pipes in order to resolve my sorting issues.

    Sorting Items into Chests / Storage (1.5.x)

    I am still trying to figure out a viable solution. I've got a bank of barrels and deep storage units that I am putting things into. I have all the DSU's set with "TOP" as "IN".. and I have a line of BuildCraft pipes running across the tops of the DSU's and barrels, using a combination of gold...

    nether quarry??

    RailCraft version 7.1.0.0 adds a TON of neat new bricks in a variety of colors and patterns (once you start running 1.5.1). In regards to the Nether Quarry idea, I've always wondered but never tried. Hmm.

    Sorting Items into Chests / Storage (1.5.x)

    Yeah I kind of have it backwards from that I guess, heh. As soon as I get the power infrastructure and resources to manage a Quarry, I start one up and use the incoming resources to then back-build everything else.

    Sorting Items into Chests / Storage (1.5.x)

    I've got Black Hole Chests appranently... never used one before! I'll have to craft one and start experimenting. Regarding the Storage Crates from the BetterStorage mod, thanks!

    Sorting Items into Chests / Storage (1.5.x)

    Can someone educate me please, what is the single largest storage medium that can handle multiple item types.. outside of Applied Energistics? Barrels and Deep Storage Units are single-item only... while Diamond chests (or Crystal / Obsidian) from the Iron Chests mod seem to be largest...

    Sorting Items into Chests / Storage (1.5.x)

    Okay then let's take it from the perspective of a thought exercise: How can we resolve this issue without using Applied Energistics?

    Sorting Items into Chests / Storage (1.5.x)

    I have a wonderful little mod installed called DartCraft, which adds its own ore in addition to a great early game engine and tons of other things. The engine it adds, the Force Engine, can actually use the Force Ore the mod adds as fuel (in addition to numerous other liquids).. outputting 4...

    Sorting Items into Chests / Storage (1.5.x)

    I'm currently exploring Deep Storage Units to replace my barrels (I didn't realize a DSU stored 2 million units!), and a combination of Transfer Pipes from Extra Utilities plus Buildcraft pipes. I cannot make gates just yet, do not have the resources or power infrastructure. I think however that...

    Sorting Items into Chests / Storage (1.5.x)

    Well the current problem I'm having with the Transfer pipes currently is specifically because of my quarry. If it is running (and I am barely powering it, so this thing is going at less than 50% of top speed) it will EASILY overload the Enderchest that it feeds into. I thought I could solve this...

    Sorting Items into Chests / Storage (1.5.x)

    I fully realize that Applied Energistics is a fantastic system for storing your stuff as well as auto-crafting. I definitely will be working up to that system for my mid- to long game storage solution. I am here today however to get ideas for EARLY game storage, something that requires little...

    Best Minimap?

    I should have clarified, I'm ONLY using the Zan's Minimap part of the Voxel 'stuff'. I am not using their WHOLE mod-pack.

    Best Minimap?

    Both Rei's and Voxel have mob radar. I prefer Voxel because Rei's gives me horrible FPS issues while I can run Voxel smooth as glass. Beyond this detail I would not care but that is kind of an important key detail (the FPS).

    1.5.1 Beta Pack-DIY Edition (now with 1.5.2)

    I have what seems to be a 1.5.1 build using MultiMC and a loooong list of mods. First thing I installed after Forge? ID Resolver! I slowly installed each mod after that one or two at a time, and I have a solid stable game running with no issues. I attribute it all to ID Resolver.

    1.5.1 Beta Pack-DIY Edition (now with 1.5.2)

    The problem isn't finding the conflict, it is the fact that I don't know about it until it causes a crash. I can find a conflict, sure that is pretty easy once you know about it. The current issue I keep running across however is that it doesn't even get listed in the log files until I attempt...
