A Chunk Loader will solve that problem. Place a chunk loader near your machines, and make sure the chunk loader covers the distance of your machines ("View Lasers" and the [F9] button help here) - whatever is in the area of the chunk loader will stay "loaded", even if you walk away. Useful for...

Yeah, I set it to the minimum myself, because I knew there would be the potential of overflow - I just didn't expect it to hit exactly 64 items! Do note the pipe length - as a longer pipe means the items take more time to travel, meaning more items go into the pipe before the Iron OR Gate...

I have a setup with this, and it seems to fill the farm up nicely without any wastage. For the fertiliser, it involves the use of 1 iron autarchic OR gate, 1 iron OR gate, 3 pipe wire and your usual: 1 wood pipe and 2 stone / cobblestone pipes. (I was low on resources when I made this, but it...

I think it's entirely dependant on what kind of farm you make - the default farm (Managed Arboretum - Tree Farm, basically) DOES require dirt, though. [ Best thing I found to generate dirt though is use the excess saplings from the farm that you don't need. Make them into plantballs, and...

Coding my own automation and useful programs via ComputerCraft, as well as automating with AE.. with a bit of beekeeping on the side. I currently have a GUI (thanks to the Terminal Glasses upgrade to the Modular Powersuit) which tells me exactly how much MJ and EU my systems have, as well as...

It's a bit fiddly, but I know of a makeshift way to make it using the Level Emitter and Fuzzy / Precision Export Buses (NOT Basic Export!) and an Auto Workbench. Set up the Auto Workbench so it crafts ash into coal, then place the F/P Export Bus beside it. Put the ash in the export bus, and...

I don't think I've ever had to force-stop a world, mostly I just switch due to inactivity on the server, or updates. This might be due to my attempts to be as lag-efficient as possible in my builds (no IC2 cable loops, etc) or just pure luck. Most likely luck. What are the specs on your host...

But if you're at the point that you've fallen in lava.. You're just going to take damage anyway before you can get out. Fly away (Wing / Feather!) before you even HIT the lava, or upgrade your armour with Sturdy (Obsidian) to vastly increase the damage reduction.

Yeah, I recommend using Force Armour with certain Force Infused enchantments. Also, fun fact: Force Armour also somewhat acts as a Charm of Life, it seems - fatal blows often leave you with 1/2 heart. (and a little jingle plays when that happens, too. Same sound as running out of Wing Meter)...

Eh, I wouldn't know about the graphics.. I never play with GT on. By "on par with Thermal Expansion", I didn't mean add GregTech-esque machines that increase both difficulty and productivity, but just increasing productivity while having cost around Thermal Expansion's level.

If Greg just provided bugfixes, or provided updates to make the machines on par with Thermal Expansion (or even just graphical updates! IC2's machines need a graphical update - they've been like that since late Alpha, iirc) I wouldn't mind that. Like SonOfABirch said, the ADDON is to make...

One of mDiyo's mods make ghasts drop extra Ghast Tears, but the grinder does not recognise the additions beyond the vanilla drops. Just use conveyor belts to redirect the drops to an Item Collector beside an inventory. I'm not sure, I guess the efficiency of a Harvester depends on the size of...

I.. didn't actually know about that. Thanks for mentioning it, though - I feel that may become useful in later builds of mine! :D

Perhaps try using autarchic gates? You could put a gate on a wooden transfer pipe, and have it set to "When not recieving a redstone signal, energy pulser" or something similar - that basically has the effect of a wooden transfer pipe which pulls items out without the help of a redstone engine...

To be fair, I was dodging his attacks a lot. While I can tank a lot of hits, it's just more fun to.. NOT get hit.

Oh, this looks really neat - I quite like how Vis isn't just one thing now, but many - although I can see sitting there waiting for your wand to charge a particular Vis level to be kind of grindy* after a while. So, I'm assuming you'd need to collect Fire Vis (unsure if correct term) for...

I have somehow managed to DAMAGE my Modular Powersuit Helmet. I have no idea how this happened - the last thing I did before I noticed the helm was damaged was fight a few bosses in the Twilight Forest: The Boss Minotaur, the Twilight Lich (twice) and Ur-ghast. Also, I'm running FTB Unleashed...

The only times I really cheat in FTB is when a bug / annoying feature does something buggy / annoying, like spawning in a bucket when I accidentally right click my Liquid Force filled Tank with one, or giving myself "starter materials" so I don't have to go through the initial "punch trees, get...

That Ultimate Hybrid Solar Panel in Unleashed.. 64 pieces of uranium for an infinite 512 EU/t (64 EU/t at night) generation? Took about a week to get, but WORTH IT. I have so much UU Matter now that I barely ever run out of essential materials, it's awesome. (For the record, I'm not someone...

Ah, I completely forgot about that one! Whoops. Even though I have Cave Story+, I still play it with the original graphics and soundtrack, haha.
