    How to get a lot of Stone Bricks

    Don't think Tekkit has TE either.

    Need more Mj storage.

    Xycraft needs to hurry up and get it's update out, one of those tanks would solve the problem.

    Electric engines

    Don't see how that's subjective. I can build a pair of tesseracts faster than someone can learn LUA, program and trouble shoot a turtle to get it to work.

    Electric engines

    Not everyone likes turtles, wants turtles or can use turtles. Also, if you have enough energy generation, but not many materials. A tesseract is still more viable, 25% energy or loads of mats for a massive redstone conduits hook-up. well energy is cheap if you've already got a boiler setup...

    Whats the best way to hook up a quarry?

    They fill up thier own buffer if they have nowhere to send power, you can't put power into that buffer. All engines have a failure state if they fill up themselves, but it's impossible to fill it up externally, or you could blow up an engine without even turning it on by filling it's buffer from...

    bees and sorting system.

    If you're going to do that just have an apiariest pipe filtering bees one way and items the other, and if you're using pneumatic tubes, buffers are your friend for transfering between buildcraft and redpower.

    Players who would like to create a FTB team?

    I use my actual name, because noone would beleive it was so. It started as my handle until I got in contact with the deed poll office :D

    Electric engines

    If you have power to spare tesseract is a win solution, since it doesn't have a distance limit and can even work cross dimensionally.

    Epic Fail stories

    Lets just say hooking up the aqueous accumulator AFTER you've turned on a hobbyist' steam engine is a bad idea. They don't look like they are running with no water in them, so I didn't notice i'd accidently turned them all on and heat was building, until I placed the last waterproof pipe, it's...

    Casual Server Looking for 1-2 others for small mindcrack server

    I love playing on DW20's pack for casual play, and making overly large power rooms etc. But i'm also interested in the sense of accomplishment that Mindcrack could give even making small advances. I've not played yet with Gregtech but i'm a fast learner and willing to help out with a joint built...

    Whats the best way to hook up a quarry?

    Engines do have an internal storage, HOWever, they cannot accept power, only put it out, so you can't fill thier internal buffer from an outside power source, which is why the arrow makes no difference to them. DoctorOR was right, it only matter for blocks that can accept energy aswell as output it.

    The best blocks, aesthetically, for building a factory?

    Looking at google images for old fashioned factories, brick, more brick, lots of brick, huge windows, and massive stone chimneys. Inside, loads of metal strutus, supports and pillars.

    Electric engines

    With that much distance an energy tesseract may actually be more effeciant, 25% energy loss is nothing compared to the materials you would save in make 150 conduits. Take the extra mats you save and build more power production.

    In your next Direwolf20 build, will you bother with IC2?

    The gun already feels more like outlaw star to me than DMC, ebony and ivory fire bullets... The hunter's gun fires TNT... which I underestimated and took my face off with the first time. >.< Shame we don't have a black hole bullet that takes a few hearts to cast.

    Is this even feasible?

    To solve your other problem, i'm pretty sure Thermal expansion machines will automatically pump out items, but only into a Buildcraft pipe, so you need a chest or buffer there to tranfer them into pneumatic tubes again. Two other things to mention, never insert into the bottom of a barrel, and...

    Taking on a Large Hollow Hill

    Set up a quarry and demolish the damn thing, it should take out spawners and pick up all the chests + items. Then just go around in a nice open area and kill anything left alive.

    Need fuel source for 3 36hp boilers

    Peat is good since it's cheap as hell, and once those boilers heat up, lasts a good amount of time. But I found Biofuel was alot better in the long run, fully renewable and last a very good amount of time per bucket.

    Unused mods in DW20?

    Yeh just noticed that second one. And to point out, the cross of mercy has a quote from Trigun on it, win in my books.

    Unused mods in DW20?

    I have config folders for Gregtech, Adavanced Solars, petrogen, magicyarn, minechem, ropesplus, secretrooms, traincraft, xreliquary... and a few more. But none of those mods are in the pack. Are they just there incase you add the mods? What's up with these extra configs.

    How to get Soul Stealing enchant on a Diamond Sword

    Surely the best thing to do would be to turn it into a Thaumium sword and put repair 2 on it. But on a side note, anyone know how to get enchants off a sword onto a book?
