    Buildcraft fuel to OP ?

    When I use fuel I just dump it into EU generators, probably the most useful (and safe) way to use it. Either that or I use it to kickstart a boiler.

    How to generate 512 EU/t

    Are your bees vetted with fastest speed and longest life? It makes a pretty big difference (lifespan to a lesser extent).

    How to generate 512 EU/t

    Double your petrogen number and/or switch to a HP boiler (one alveary can power two fully heated HPs if I'm not mistaken), you'll eventually need to power, and it's free, so why not? Invest a little steel and get a lot more in the future.

    How to generate 512 EU/t

    Your system is likely bottlenecked by the single refinery, two bees can easily outpace the meager pace at which one goes.

    Looking for a good Auto Maceration and Smelting Line.

    The REC only seem OP because of how godawful the standard pipes are in comparison. Put slightly too much energy? Kasplosions! Using that with "vanilla" BC engines? Now they have nowhere to dump their energy, and kasplosions! Transporting your energy more than like 5 blocks? Have fun losing...

    Creating EU through Infernal Furnace EXP

    And we have to note that collecting EXP with brain in a jars are now a PITA because they only collect ~30 levels each, so you'll need a wall of them (which is annoying anyways). As for the renewable vis, the easiest way is to spam craptons of crystal clusters, have a few capacitors and use a...

    [Fun][Help]Ways to Use plenty of MJs? Not EU! :P

    If you want an easy MJ dump, a Thermionic Fabricator is basically a void pipe for MJs. The thing eats them up like no tomorrow.

    Energy System

    Aren't they more coal efficient then the TE steam engines?

    Energy System

    If for whatever reason you're really poor and can't afford diamonds, just put a relay right next to the quarry, put a pneumatic tube that's two long going to a goodies chest and a filter right next to the initial tube that allows dirt, cobble and gravel in (this being the first valid destination...

    In your opinion: BuildCraft of Redpower

    It's pointless though, I never use up all of any given resource that I'd want to sort automatically- anything that I'd use completely up I'd probably just dump in a project table or seperate "parts" chest.

    In your opinion: BuildCraft of Redpower

    If you chuck an item into the larger hole side it automatically ingests it and chucks it into tubes on the small end.

    Finally...

    Why would you need to mine? What could you possibly do with stone/other metals / diamonds without a 3x3 crafting grid? Sure, you can grind wheat and punch sheep to get emeralds -> any other thing, but that's pointless. It doesn't even seem challenging, just monotonous.

    In your opinion: BuildCraft of Redpower

    Weren't void pipes supposed to be "less intensive" on servers? And also, it's not much cheaper- one glass a ink sack and a redstone vs a piston, something else, cobble and wood? It's about the same, and with void pipes you get 8. Plus it take 2 blocks, not one.

    In your opinion: BuildCraft of Redpower

    Transposer basically = obsidian pipes though. Void pipes have no equal in redpower though, the smallest you can get is 2 blocks I guess with transposer + lava, but even then it's meh compared to void pipes.

    Finally...

    That seems stupid as hell, that's basically wooden house + dirt and that's it.

    Solid and Liquid Fueled Boilers

    Wait wat, I gave him the numbers for LP? Oops. My bad.

    Solid and Liquid Fueled Boilers

    I'm pretty sure they can handle 9 each, so you'd ideally want 18 steam engines. And make sure that you're pumping enough steam to them, or you're basically wasting it.

    Is there a whitelist server that allows item spawning?

    Why not just play on a creative server then, there's literally no difference if you can just spawn things any time anyways.

    About nuclear reactor cooling.

    It's like you don't even listen.
