    drop them through a mystcraft portal and into a kill block with an igniter on it... instant steak

    Tree farm isn't growing?

    The issue with bluelectric engines is that they'll output whatever the machine needs, and those forestry blocks will suck darn near as much as you give it (IE every tick of juice your production/battery system can create). Using them and a solar field is brilliant, but put a Redstone energy cell...

    Tree farm isn't growing?

    Do you have a wrath light in that box, the light looks a bit too even for the torches we see. Wrath light lamps create "light" blocks which interfere with trees

    Dense ores and copper/tin

    actually, you shouldn't have that issue, well I've not since my 1.2.5 -> 1.4.5/6 update and that was likely due to my errors. From my experience the first time you run your world with a new forge/mod versions it will bitch and moan about versions not being correct the first time you load the...

    steam boiler

    So long as your fuel doesn't run out, it should NEVER lose heat. 2 peat farms should be enough fuel to keep a full size high pressure boiler or two up. the only issue is having enough around to get the thing to temperature to start with since it uses a sliding scale up to 9X as much fuel...

    strange formations

    Maybe its me.. Mario.. Being an ignorant 2D head on brick typ-a-guy... But I thought the strength of programming a game like Minecraft in java was it was pretty much instantly portable to any platform that Java will run on?

    Power Storage

    Look at buildcraft gates attached to structure pipes next to your power cells with a redstone line or more structure pipes with red pipe wire running to your power station to turn it on/off. A simple BC gate has a power full, space for power and power empty condition you can trigger a pipe...

    Greg Tech - Quantumsuit Overload

    It makes quantum suits use dragon egg as fuel when exposed to vintage Elvis movies, and if not present causes a overload which is slightly less powerful then a supernova :)

    Mystcraft v0.10.x: Add pages from your ''Age'' books? HELP

    DW20 was clear that the only current way to get pages was to find villagers and possibly the new hut may have one. He didn't cover if they'd be found in dungeon loot, but that's always possible as well. Time for Villager enslavement all in the name of MystCraft, you'll need those emeralds and...

    Redpower Lags Client

    Are inline filters a source of some of this lag? Oh, god I hope not... I'm getting creative to eliminate the relays I have, only about a quarter gone though, if filters are laggy too.. that complicates things a bit.

    DW20 5.1.0 config weirdness...

    The configs may, but the code would check if GT was installed before leaning on anything from it I'm sure.

    DW20 5.1.0 config weirdness...

    This won't hurt you or your game at all, they're just ignored if the mod isn't installed. What it will do is help you on the off chance you want to install any of the other mods FTB hosts around its packs. Unifying the IDs and such makes the packs more portable and interchangable.

    Silverwood Sapling

    Yes, they're coded for drop rates of 1 to like 500 leaf blocks, and since that's just a ratio it could take 1500 leaf blocks :) They are rare, sometimes you can get a long stretch with none, sometimes you can get 3 from a single tree... its all luck at some point.

    Redpower going the way of Nandonalt's Mods?

    have you thought about having power transfer through interconnected TE machine blocks even with a decay rate like the RP machines do (sans decay rate)?

    Question about Redstone Energy Cells

    run red pipe wire from the gate detecting the condition of the battery closer to engines in a way that won't interfere with the cell. Energy full -> Redpipe wire and then redpipe wire -> redstone only a minor change to what you have, use iron gates red pipe wire on the golden conductive...

    How do you house your dangerous bees?

    I prefer to house the most dangerous bees in the neighbor's house... it just works well that way

    Redpower going the way of Nandonalt's Mods?

    Bear in mind that RP2 is a large and incredibly complex mod and while its redstone component is its own world, even minor changes in Vanilla can cause a domino effect of bugs in some mods. And 1.5 is supposed to bring other changes as well. Personally, if I had to chose, I'd rather wait for...
