    Any good ways of powering a quarry?

    If you have access to the End already, the Ender Generator from Extra Utilities work very well. A single pearl lasts 20 mins for 80 RF/t, a few of these generators with a stack of Ender pearls in them and you won't have to worry about the quarry anymore. Although, the easiest way is still using...

    Rotary Craft Extractor Setup's

    I was going to set up a Rotarycraft processing chain as backup for the rarer materials, but it is so blazing fast that I run now everything from my QuarryPlus through it. - 4x Magnetostatic Engines running at 2048 Nm, 2048 rad/s - 1 CVT at 1xTorque, 32xSpeed - 1 CVT at 16xSpeed, 32x Speed - 2...

    Your favorite mod, and why?

    EnderIO. Started out as replacement for some TE items because that mod was not available yet. But it has grown so fast and to so many features that I use it now almost everywhere. Especially now that the power/fluid/item network can also contain the ME cabling. Plus multi block energy storage...

    How do you power a steam turbine? Minefactory Reloaded

    I'll raise with BigReactors. :) Ako did a spotlight on the latest 0.30 version - it looks awesome!

    How can I get Certus Quartz alot easier?

    Does your Mystcraft version have already Certus Quartz as block option? If so then you can make tendrils or obelisks from quartz.

    mob spawners in Monster pack

    Do you have GregTech in your mod pack? I think there is an option to make spawners very hard to break.

    What's the best way to produce mass amounts of Redstone Flux?

    Big Reactors 0.30 looks also great for RF production. The reactors don't only produce RF anymore, you can also configure them to generate steam. And then build Big Reactor steam turbines to generate the power. From the first looks it's more expensive to create the reactor and steam turbine...

    Favourite FTB Youtuber/s Reloaded

    Ako and Bevo. Ako is proof that even a grumpy old man can enjoy Minecraft ;) and Bevo tries a lot of new stuff bevor it becomes mainstream (UE, AE, EnderIO). Both are doing really great videos with lots of interesting builds. The Hermitcraft Youtubers, especially Hypno, Sl1pg8r and...

    How to gather Ender pearls in Monster?

    Mimichrite seems to be a really fast way to get ender pearls. - Get the first pearl, duplicate it with Mimichrite until you got 12-13 of them. - Find a stronghold, go to the end, ignore the dragon - Build a bridge to about 150 blocks away from the island (or better, use Jet Pack + Angels Block)...

    My Megafactory Pictures

    It's made with the Chisel mod. Look in NEI for a Factory Block (some stone and iron to make them). Then put these into the Chisel tool and you can change it into several other kinds of blocks. This "yellow-striped thing" is one of the options. :) Then you can take the block and turn it into...

    The Ultimate Tinkers Construct Tools

    Did anybody compare the power consumption for an RF upgrade versus the IC2 upgrade? I'm still using the IC2 upgrade for the tools, since the last time I've tried the RF version it was consuming 240 RF per block mined. And that seemed way higher than what the IC2 upgrade uses. Plus, the...

    FTB Monster | Thermal Expansion/BuildCraft vs Industrialcraft

    You might also want to check out the RF generators that Extra Utilities adds now. Got a cow farm? There's a generator that burns meat. Picked some flowers? Another generator uses pink (or orange?) dye. The usual generators that burn the normal furnace fuel or lava, one of them with lower output...

    Greg, you've done it...AGAIN !!!

    Same here. I loved GregTech in 1.4.7, 1.5.2, even in early 1.6.4. All the cool machines, multiblock structures and long production chains. But now it feels, like you are fighting the mod on every step instead of playing with. The world gen is completely getting out of hand and have you seen the...

    Blue Slime Farm

    Are you sure, the grinders are the problem? Did you check that they get enough power? (Stupid question, I know. But I've seen recently a YouTube let's play with a slime farm, where exactly that was the problem.)

    Has anyone figured out an optimal setup with Big Reactors yet?

    Somebody from Resonant Rise put the following doc together, that lists a lot of possible configurations and their output: http://tinyurl.com/bigreactortesting The output numbers are with the RR configs, which buff the reactors quite a bit. But Ako built a 7x7x3 reactor in one of his latest FTB...

    The rebirth of IC2 ?

    The new system is still a lot clumsier to use than the original power system. In the past, if you had 128 EU in available, then you would still have 128 EU after an LV transformer. Just now in 4 packages a 32 EU, which meant you can run a lot of machines off the same line. With the new system...

    20+ redpower2 replacements, which one to pick?

    Extra Utilities has item transport built in and allows to make a sorting system using limited resources. TE3's item transport is usable early on, is very powerful with filters built in directly into the tubes and it can be upgraded for higher speed etc. Mekanism's item pipes look great, it...

    Spoils Bag Strangeness

    IC2Exp uses now Liquid UU, but I did find Iridium just a few days ago in a Stronghold chest. Uranium is much more common, pretty sure it can also be in loot chests. By the way, the explanation for the Spoils Bags is from a very recent video from Bluedart.
