    How to get a lot of Stone Bricks

    Well with (whenever-the-hell-xycraft-updates) tanks, your dreams will come true!

    How to get a lot of Stone Bricks

    I'm curious as to how you'd be able to keep that much hydrogen at that temperature anyways, enough to swim in would be an extreme waste of energy. Apparantly Minecraft's iron tanks (and Soaryn's tanks) are vacuum tanks though, so whatever. And soaryn's tanks are going to be able to be...

    They don't, I was dicking around with them in creative. Who do you think greg is, Soaryn?

    How to get a lot of Stone Bricks

    Extruding smoothstone is better no matter which way you cut it- unless, for whatever reason, you don't have an MJ-producing infrastructure up (and why wouldn't you?). Hell, even using EU -> Electric Engine to power a magma crucible is cheaper, it takes 80k MJs for 500 smelted stone but only...

    Finally...

    The LESU seems even more useless, sure, you can dump 2 Billion EU into it but it takes a crapton of space (make it the walls of your base?) and once you put it in, have fun getting 2 billion EU back out at a meager 512 EU/t...

    Elooram's back.

    If they work similarly to BC facades (which I'd imagine they do), then yes- much like how the flat side of a slab/stair that's covers the whole side of a block space acts just like it's a regular block.

    Electric engines

    I'd argue the item tesseract is barely useful, but the energy tesseract is fairly good. The liquid tesseract is the only one that's pretty much 100% better- it doesn't require energy to use, costs about the same as transposers + enderchests, and is faster and more compact as well. Item...

    Whats the best way to hook up a quarry?

    I'm pretty sure DW or someone else was doing a video and they had the inputs on blue, and it turned out it was only outputting like 1 MJ/t for whatever reason despite it being a steam engine- I'd say it's better to put it on orange because why not.

    The best blocks, aesthetically, for building a factory?

    For lighting, the RP caged lamps look pretty sweet, and they come in any color of the rainbow you want.

    Thaumcraft Mining w/ Tools & Enchants. Competitive?

    If you're going pure TC (besides the RP stuff), I'd assume you're using the Arcane Bore- the amount of vis usage it will use processing the ores it gets from that won't be too high.

    DW20 5.1 - RailCraft Steam Boiler Changes?

    That's definitely off, they're supposed to last ~7 seconds last I heard. Try testing charcoal or another fuel and seeing how long it lasts, the fuel values might be completely borked or maybe he just secretly nerfed blaze rods.

    Thaumcraft Mining w/ Tools & Enchants. Competitive?

    Perhaps an off-site processing center (a good hundred or so blocks away from your main base, don't want nasty wisps and flux near you) with tons of crystal clusters and capacitors to process all the ore intake from an arcane bore? Would certainly be doable near higher tiers of TC.

    DW20 5.1 - RailCraft Steam Boiler Changes?

    You're either imagining it or it's a bug; changelog doesn't have it. http://railcraft.wikispaces.com/Version+History+(Info)

    Sorting Machine Help

    Why bother with sorting machines, even, if you're using barrels? Or rather, the filters they come with. You should just prefill the barrels with an item that you want in it (so no others can go in), then just set the sorting machines to pull and leave it be- they'll automatically go where they...

    Blast Resistance vs Pick Breakage

    Hardened CF foam is supposedly blast resistant but it's like butter against a pick.

    Thaumcraft Mining w/ Tools & Enchants. Competitive?

    Now that Brains in a Jar don't store a bajillion levels of exp and closer to ~30, I'd say that it's a trivial advantage at most- you'd be better off running a T5 shard for a minute then the slow trickle of exp, especially considering how easy it is to get stuff like a T5 skeleton/zombie/spider...

    Recipe/Raw Materials List for GraviSuit Chest?

    When you think about it, the only real barriers are iridium (because damnit, Gregorious), copper and tin, and those only because you burn through it like crazy normally and the crazy amounts only make that problem worse. The other stuff is trivial.

    Recipe/Raw Materials List for GraviSuit Chest?

    Eloraam seems strangely against people messing with her mod (her not wanting omniwrench to do RP2 screwdriver stuff, for example), and she's clearly respected enough for people to agree with her and not mess with it.

    Distribution Pipe Woes

    The center pulverizer has a 1/3 chance to get it, all the others have a 1/6th of a chance. You're putting them through 2 pipes, so that gives them 1/3 of the original 1/3 from the first pipe, whereas the middle one only has to go through one.
