Thank you! I couldn't get the metal casts either. (Was using the wooden stencil and tried to pour the metal over it. Same way as it worked in the 152wgt pack.) Was using the actual tool part a change in the most recent update?

Add a Unifier (can be connected directly to the BioFuel Reachtor,) This will turn the MFR BioFuel into Ethanol.

This limitation is caused by the liquiducts, the consumer itself can process 1.000 steam/tick. (Simply feed all steam into tesseracts and then slap the receiving tesseract on the consumer. This one face connection is enough, no additional pipes required.) As for the original question, remove...

The combination of Steam Boilers, Tesseracts and Power Converters allows for really simple and modular setups. For instance, 4x36HP boilers create 2880 steam per tick that you can drain with Liquiducts and Tesseracts. You need 3x Steam Consumers, connected to 2x Tesseracts, to feed it into an...

What I'm missing most, are the micro blocks. Never really realized, how much I used them until they were gone. *sniff* Then, far behind that, the simple logic gates and the inverted lights. On the bright side, I can add Immibis Microblocks and RedLogic to my mods and should be fine. .

Are you in 1.5.2? Because then you can simply forget about Seed Oil for all beekeeping needs. Creosote Oil works as well and is much easier to get. (Normally I have a tank full from a Coke Oven, before I even start doing any bee stuff.) And normally I also start with Apiaries and Proven Frames...

Yeah, but I kinda understand why this change was made. 6 Frames made it very easy to get 2 combs + specialty product for each cycle. One single Refined Bee in 1.4.7 was feeding all my steam boilers with Fuel and Biofuel. Two Fiendish/Sinister bees were not only feeding all 40 magmatic Engines in...

Yes, the limit to the production rate and the mutation rate is for 1.5.2 and higher. The maximum production rate is down from a factor of 64 (with 6 frames) to a factor of 16 (with 4 frames). The mutation rate is down from guaranteed mutation to a factor of 10. Anything beyond that and you risk...

What kind of cables are you using? If you use Gold Cables (because it's "only" MV), they have an incredibly high loss rate - 2 EU per 5 blocks. And this reduction is per package. If you have 25 cables between your MV Transformer and the grinders, then the 512 EU from the the MFSU would turn...

Alvearies can be used indoors if you add an Alveary Lighting block for your non-Nocturnal bees and a Alveary Rainshield for non-Flyers. But honestly, just use Rocky Bees for your production. Infuse them with the highest speed you have, longest life and then with the species you need. You'll have...

Same here. I've liked GregTech in the past, since it gave you a lot of end game stuff to do. Now you can't even make it beyond the first 20 minutes in a new world, without tripping over some GregTech crap. I disabled XYCraft in 1.4.7, because it caused a lot more headache then there were...

Even this 5% loss is now gone since version 2.4.5. The same update also reduced the loss for the Energy Tesseract down to 20%. If that is the case, then look into the Power Converter mod. You can get everything crammed into a 2x1x3 space. (Ultimate Hybrid Solar -> MFSU -> HV Consumer ->...

Not more overpowered than using the Gravigun to collect a couple dungeon spawners. Or to use MFR mob spawners. Heck, the most efficient spawner, that I know of, is still a vanilla Enderman spawner built directly in the End. This is the number for generating EU in an IC generator. Apple and...

A few dozen Igneous Extruders should do the trick. :D

Not sure I understand your comment. Beta 152ngt has only IC2 included, no GregTech here. The Electric Wrench comes from IC2 and without Greg tinkering around with the recipes and the API, it should still work with the original M+rightclick.

For FTB Ultimate 1.1.2 (Minecraft 1.4.7): M is by default mapped to the Mini Map options. Try to move this to another key. (Open Mini Map options, go to Controls ... and select another key.) You should see then the message "Lossless Mode enabled" when holding M and rightclicking with the wrench...

If you are using the wrench from the latest GregTech versions, then it's always lossless. http://forum.industrial-craft.net/index.php?page=Thread&postID=115644&highlight=lossless#post115644

You can use Gold to make the casts. Steel is a great metal for early tool heads, if I'm not mistaken then it even mines Cobalt. (And if you don't have a blast furnace yet, dungeons and villages often have steel tools, weapons and armor in their chests. These can be smelted into steel bars.)

You could use an xp turtle. Set it to Auto collect the xp and then a loop to collect the blaze rods that your melee turtles didn't catch. I use a 9x9 area with a flow pattern that washes all xp and drops to the front center block. In front of that block is the xp turtle, in the row above are 5...

A fully heated 36HP boiler needs 16 heat units per tick. A blaze rod gives 800 HU, means it burns within 2.5 seconds. (Which translates to 24 Blaze Rods per minute to keep the boiler running.) A T5 spawner should be able to drop way more than that. Another option would be to run the blaze rod...
