    Dealing with Flooded Quarries

    If you have rotarycraft, you may be able to use the WorlEdit wand. Click one corner and shit click the opposite, just like the stick in WE. You will need to be in creative so you fly. It is set to air by default, but if you point it in the air and click it, the GUI opens and you can place a...

    A little rant

    All the stuff you guys mention not only annoys you. It is the reason I don't play on servers. I am 36, don't want to deal with stupid kids or selfish people(griefers, etc). I would love to have a small server to play on with responsible people, but no one I know IRL plays. Watching things like...

    Thermal Expansion 3 is boring (actually just RF)

    Not really worried about efficiency. I had 4 of those 3 block setups so I could have multiple ones running at once. By the time I get that far, I have so many resources, I build solely for the sake of building. Don't need most of it. I decided to go a different way this time. I am using some TE...

    [Forestry] Hostile environment - Jungle

    Like the person above me said. Jungle bees need vines, not flowers. You should be able to put them on your stone brick wall and still be in range of the apiary.

    Steam dynamo's with strange behavior

    That does seem odd. It looks like you have one connection per dynamo which should be more than enough. That's 40 steam/t per engine. RC industrial steam engines only use that much and I thought dynamos used the same. Now you have me wondering.....

    Digging out a circle?

    The easiest way to make an approximate sphere underground is with explosives. Then you can carve out the walls to make them vertical and end up with a cylinder. It just depends on how big of an area you want. You could also use the filler to clear out a square with the diameter of the circle you...

    Generating ALL the power

    Yes 5 RTG pellets per radio isotope generator, but it is 16 EU/t forever. You would end up having to make a bunch of them, but they run from the leftovers of running reactors, so you need to being running reactors for a while to get them. Kind of a nice bonus to a semi limited resource.

    Engines not outputting enough power

    You also could use a gate on your engine feeding the multifarm. I used a railcraft steam engine fed by an endertank. Had the gate set to only turn on when power was requested. It can work with other engines, but it is not efficient with biogas or sterlings since you waste lava and coal. I was...

    Thermal Expansion 3 is boring (actually just RF)

    They kinda are. I know once I have quarries going, I have a furnace for each output of a pulverizer. So that'ss 3 blocks. I also have a sawmill and several cyclic assemblers connected together to craft frames for alvairies from logs and cotton. Being able to control the input/outputs makes for...

    liquiducts vs liquid pipes

    I am using the extra utilities liquid transfer nodes and pipes while playing with RC and it has worked well. I don't think I would bother with the RC pump unless you are using something that runs on pressure such as the sprinkler.

    Importing to ME

    You should be able to put the output of the tesseract right into a ME interface. That is how I have always done it. Using a chest as a buffer was problematic for me and after an enderchest caused a chunk reset, I stopped using them. You just have to make sure you tesseract has the proper...

    Machine Request: Clay Maker

    I agree it would be nice to have a better solution with the introduction of hardened clay. I liked to build brick buildings back in vanilla so I needed a lot of clay. You could stay underwater with a Jack O lantern on your head on the server I played. I literally spent hours on the ocean floor...

    Unsupported Monster 1.6.4 Bug Reports

    I had an invisible block issue back when TE updated. I rolled back to fix it, but had missed one item duct and did not want to go through rolling back again. I placed a TE terrain smasher facing the invisible block and it was able to break it. It was the only thing I found that would. Might be...

    What weird cross-mod combos have you found?

    Get a fast jump start in Thermal Expansion by making Invar in a TC smeltery. Use the same ratio or ferrous to iron as you would in the Induction smelter. 2 Iron+1 Ferrous.

    How do you go and progress through FTB Monster

    Other than a few goodies, I play basically vanilla minecraft for a few days. I setup farms immediately for food. Find a spot for a base and dig a cave to start in until I have the resources to build a decent building. Generally, by the time I have a decent building, I have the resources to get...

    Nether lava pumping and energy

    I think the BC pump will load the chunks it is drawing lava out of, but the chunk it is actually in needs to be loaded. I think that is what Direwolf said when he set up his most recent one. He used a spot loader for his instead of a chunk loader to cover many chunks like in the past.

    Nether lava pumping and energy

    You could make it a little simpler. Put the magmatic dynamo's side against the side of the pump. The pump will fill it just like it does the ender tank. Then you only need 2 energy conduits to connect the engine to the pump and no pipes or tanks. Either way, it will work fine. I have always used...

    Harvesting Apples from Apple Trees?

    I think you will only find them in an Orchard biome. You can't miss them when you see them. The apples are visible on the trees/

    What are your thoughts on renewable energy?

    I think it is a good idea to have in some situations. I just don't think you should be able to have it in a few days. I gave up on boilers a while ago. They made way more energy than I needed. I have switched over to more on demand power with lots of energy storage. My machines don't run 24/7...

    Harvesting Apples from Apple Trees?

    MFR has a fruit picker. Not sure if it works on apple trees though. The way I know is using a forestry multi-farm. Just have to put apple oak saplings in it and get the right circuit setup to pick fruit. All the info can be found on the forestry page. It gives all the setup info and materials...
