    tinkers smeltery question.

    For iron or steel items, the Railcraft blast furnace will melt damaged items into steel ingots, but that is still a step past beginning game to set up.

    'Old' School Obsidian Generator?

    There was a bug in vanilla Minecraft where flowing lava landing on redstone turned into obsidian. I haven't seen it used since 1.5.2, so I don't remember exactly how to set it up or if it still works.

    MPS Addon doesnt work

    The 1.7.10 version of MPSA has been released, but just from the discussions on the page you linked, you may have to update AE2 to the latest version.

    'Old' School Obsidian Generator?

    If you only give the floodgate 1 space to fill, you shouldn't have to worry about controlling it or the water source with redstone. You'd just need a timer on the block breaker variant of choice to give it enough time for the obsidian to form. Note I'm not using BuildCraft in 1.7.10, so I can't...

    I need help with Applied Energistics

    I would run a separate line of dense me cable under each group of drives, then connect each dense cable to a different face/block of your controller. You can color the cables to run them side by side without connecting (note that the un-colored cables will still connect to colored cables). Each...

    Mystcraft age with debuffs even with good grammar and no exploits

    Last time I used Mystcraft, you really had to spam the populators (6-9) to stop it from adding extra randoms. Also, packs with dense ores or a generous ore gen, like the dw20 for 1.7.10 pack, may trigger instability regardless.

    Quick Question about the new DW20 pack

    This is what the minecraft wiki has to say. I always enable cheats, so I've never had to try it myself. "Note: In singleplayer worlds where cheats were not enabled at creation, they can be enabled on a temporary basis by opening the current game session to LAN play ( Esc → "Open to LAN", then...

    StrangeThistleStudios 1.7.10 (pic heavy)

    This is the 1st 1.7.10 seed where I haven't been tripping over AE2 meteorites & actually had to make the compass. It took 4 meteorites, all close to spawn but buried, but now I can get going on my ME system. Here I'm automating the inscribers & the puddle before I have so much as a storage cell...

    Automation of ore -> ingots using Applied Energistics and Thermal Expansion

    Level emitters look at the # of a specified item in me storage & emit or stop emitting a redstone signal when the # is either > or < . They will do what you want, BUT you need a separate pair of emitter + export bus for each item. You would point the emitter at the export bus & set the bus to...

    Old player returning to Minecraft... what's up?

    TE has an aerial faith plate substitute. Not to leave well enough alone, they also added a short range teleport version. Rube Goldgerg enthusiasts rejoice.

    Whats the best resource on making big reactor turbines?

    You need 80 blades to use the 2000 mb/t steam max. Having more blades than you currently need does not cause any problems. Blades can be extended out from the rotor, but can't be put in the corners. Different materials in the coil use different amounts of steam & output different amounts of...

    Looking for interesting ways to power a base!

    The arcane bore doesn't mind being moved. I've used them with Arcimedes Ships before. They should work happily enough on a frame quarry setup. IIRC, they can mine up to an 11 block diameter tunnel 64 blocks long, & they can be pointed up and down.

    TiC bows arrows etc

    With the arrows, bolts, & throwing weapons, it works as 1 item with many uses that can be repaired. Durability modifiers increase the # of uses. Damage modifiers go on the arrows, speed on the bow.

    Looking for interesting ways to power a base!

    With Big Reactors, I can skip pumping lava all together.

    Still not perfect, but much better. The biggest problem is the transition between the octagon & the square in the carpenters slopes, but I don't think there is any way to fix that. So, leave it as is, or switch to a flat roof on the corners?

    Well, it's a roof. I'm not really sure about what I'm doing on top of the central section. The plan is to hide my xp oreberry farm up there...

    The plots looked big enough before I started to try to get a bit more architecturally complex. The library is about ready for a roof & will eventually have an ME system to reference books on the shelves & house all the enchanting options.
