    Router problems

    Routers will equally distribute items into all possible block/inventories. so if you have a barrel of cobble and 18 chests or empty barrels, and 19 pieces of cobble come into the router it will put 1 piece in each block/inventory. You can rig an overflow system of some sort (still working on...

    Mystcraft thoughts

    Its advantageous if you ever want to see waht a nuke will do :) but in general, creating a world for mining, or dungeon hunting, or tree hunting (autumn hills forest yay) or etc etc etc it can be useful. Although, the new symbol system makes getting all those things considerably more difficult...

    The Final Word on Steam Boiler Efficiency

    The whole idea to boilers is an always on, high efficiency power source. If you don't need the power, then of course it's not worth the investment. Boilers shine when you have the capacity to a build a renewable fuel source! Once you achieve that, the loss of power when you don't need it is...

    Mutator block for Alveary

    The question is how will they stack, not if they stack. How they stack can make a significant difference in how many people may want to use in an alveary. My thought is, they'd be additive each affecting the base mutation chance.

    Sorting Machine: Sorting the same item 3 different ways

    I would suggest just creating an iron or gold chest or a extra-dim barrel in a cache area to store the basic materials you have mentioned, and when your system detects it needs a more refined material have a retriever pull it, or use logic gates to trigger the refinement. I use a similar system...

    forestry tree farm+ wrath lamp = bug

    You don't... The wrath light creates such a large field of even lighting using those light blocks (it uses the light blocks to eliminate the need to dynamically light the area which lowers lag potential).. So long as the wrath lamp has an effect on the lighting of an area, it will continue to...

    Epic Fail stories

    Using an inverted MV transformer to power my mass fab with it switch off when not needed using some gates (a bit backwards way, don't know if recent updates fixed the condition in mass fabs)... But.. upgraded power system to an autoswitching double MFSU so I decided to swap out that MV for an...

    Why is my quarry spitting out items

    My money is on you having an iron pipe in the mix which is not configured to pass items correctly.

    4 directional frame drive how to?

    Great 2 part video on a 6 direction frame drive, he demonstrates things clearly and his layout is easily adopted to only 4 directions (just don't install the up/down motors). I recommend if you have any problem and can SWEAR you rotated the motors correctly, to log out and in after placing...

    Lava pumping problem

    When liquiducts are in output mode (orange arrow) they require a redstone signal to function. But, you don't need them in your setup to be in output mode, just normal mode will work You also need an engine on that pump to make it work. Put 3 -4 redstone engines on it.

    Regarding tesseracts: does anyone else think this is silly?

    I don't see it that way, a block that directly feeds to pipes/tubes/inventories is not the same as enderchests. If a mod, or block completely replaces all the functionality of an entire system or hybrid-mod solution in a way that makes people never look back at the previous method then really...

    Regarding tesseracts: does anyone else think this is silly?

    Silly, but not unreasonable. Tesseracts should have a central hub control block that is required (yes, then a single point A to B system would require an additional (expensive block!), and this block should be powered. But each control block should be able to manage as many tesseracts and...

    steve tree farm versus a Multi block tree farm.

    Early to mid game or for charcoal production, I'll swear by a logging turtle on any 2x2 tree that grows straight up (cedar, fir etc). My script did it all for me (plant, boned or waited and then harvested) and a water pool collected the saplings for processing. I am still using the cedar and...

    Help please-Reed Farm Biogas-Biofuel

    I use a double layer 18x18 cane farm (rook layout such as the link above), one layer only has a single growth layer (mis-built the basement) but it doesn't matter as the golems harvest everything with a single block of growth. I use 1 straw and 2 wood golems to maintain the sugar cane part of my...
