I know it is possible, but I just started playing with it. I have not figured out how to use variables or move stuff based on inventory space. This systems just backlogs and stops. I have SFM currently making compressed cobble, automating 2 sag mills and alloy smelters in my main work area(so...

I had a really nice stacked setup in an old world. Worked really nice. I put the essence ore berries on top since they don't care about light level like the rest.

MFR isn't in Horizons. Only autofarming machines I have found are the RC fans the OP mentioned. I went and updated all of Reika's mods to the newest versions and magic crops in horizons is already the latest. It is an issue on magic crops end. Reika said there is nothing he can do about it for...

This a a great question I just ran into myself. Was trying to farm earth and water essence to makes vines. Vines and leaves give 2x RC sludge for ethanol instead of one like saplings. Since I haven't figured out any other way yet, now trying to figure out if you can farm leaf blocks...

I recently started playing around with Steve's Factory Manager and am really impressed. So simple, but hugely powerful. I started off with just an auto farm for sugar cane. It uses block gates to detect when the sugar grows and harvests it, as well as collect it and place it in a barrel. I...

Saice made a short video on the newest big reactors and explains the basics mechanics of how much steam/blade surface you need.

Well thanks for the responses. I ended up making a sickle and put Silk Touch on it. Took about 10 minutes to get 60 stacks of leaves. I just switched the farms to ones that work and looking into other sources to make ethanol..

Gany's nether mod in Horizons has quartz berry bushes. Once you find some, you plant them on tilled netherack(have to use a diamond hoe) and place a lava source like you would water for a normal farm. They grow in the overworld with no issues.

They will harvest 3 wide, but won't collect the extras with the power I am giving them. Each set of 8 is only running off a single steam engine. It is only enough power to replant...I had to add the item vacuum to collect the drops.

Lol Speed upgrades only help it search for inventories faster. Mining upgrade makes it pump more water. BIG difference I see. This is correct as long as the machine will output directly into one as well as recieve directly from one. Soon as you add even the highest flowing pipes available...

I am using RC fans to harvest magical crops. I setup a redstone field to run some heated redstone generators. The fans worked fine. I setup a 2nd field with dye, coal, water, and earth seeds. I planned on using using the water and earth essence to make leaves for RC ethanol. For some reason, it...

Have you actually tried this method? I have and it is not so easy. Harvesting the algae automatically is the biggest issue. The setup I made was with modular sockets with block breakers on 4 sides, update detector on the top and output to the bottom. It was really expensive to build all those...

I didn't mean one shot the Dragon. I hope no weapon can do that. I meant normal mobs. I haven't tried it yet, but it won't fire at anything but mobs in the overworld. Guess I will find out shortly.

You have to charge wind springs in a coil winder and then combine them with the gravel gun. You also need gravel in your inventory since it is the ammo. It is worth the trouble. It has one shot everything I have run into so far. It will be my weapon of choice for the Ender dragon when I get...

I guess that's one of the biggest issues I am having. Figuring out which engine for which machine. Even though they run on minimum power, it is far from ideal to run them at that speed.

I moved over to Horizons after the stable updates recently and there is no BC. Been trying to use RC as my main mod and move up it's tech tree, but so many materials for such little ouput when you start. I'm kinda stuck. Was thinking it might be nice to have something between normal engines and...

I have one about 30 miles north and another 40 miles south. I just meant it wouldn't be right next to my base..just in case. I have more faith in the people controlling a real reactor than myself paying attention to a MC one. I recently was given the opportunity to build the new base that I...

On that point, I could see the lower tier fuel engines having a manual throttle in the GUI. I would also make the turbine require them, since I doubt you would ever hand throttle a turbine. :D You are are correct on the diesels, but I didn't mention them since we have gone green in RC and only...

LMAO What an achievement. Hope you didn't lose your base, but it is funny he added that. That is why I always treat nuclear in game like I would in the real world. I am not living near it.

Throttle only controls air to the engine which fuel is matched to. This is strictly to control rpm vs load. It has nothing to do with turning an engine on and off. Engines are actually turned on and off with the ignition system. Most modern fuel systems are a loop and are pressurized without...
