Are you trying to get EUs or MJs? For EUs the most efficient way is probably to use Railcraft's Steam Turbine. They are expensive to make (well, all they use is a LOT of steel), but they provide the highest power output at the moment. Or you can produce MJs by using Industrial Steam Engines...

You mean, a sarcastic response to the "meeeeh, GrechTech is just a useless grind!!!one!" whining? Nah, I would never do that. :)

Blaze Rods (from a T5 Spawner). It needs 8.000 MJ to produce one bucket of lava and you get 18.000 MJ back in the Magmatic Engine. Demonic Bees. Produces a phosphor every cycle with "Fastest" speed. Two Phosphor + 1 Sand = 2 buckets Lava. So one bee can support 8 Magmatic Engines running at 4...

1 Charcoal = 1600 HU 1 Wooden Plank = 300 HU 1.600 versus 6x300 = 1.800 HU (a stack of wood turned into Charcoal lasts 320secs in a 36HP, turned into Planks it lasts 360secs). And you get saw dust, which you can also turn into coal or planks and use as additional fuel. In addition, one...

As soon as the bug with the TE Sawmill is fixed (that it gives 6 planks again), then it's actually more efficient to turn the wood into planks and feed the planks into the boiler.

"R" is also the default key for sorting your inventory. (Which sometimes also causes issues with NEI.) Open your inventory or a chest, click on the "..." option button and assign it something else. I would suggest to put it on some key that you would never use, normally you sort inventories...

You'll have to enable it first in the mod pack. In the FTB launcher, go to Edit Modpack (or whatever this button is called, it's near the Filter button). By default BoP shows up in the right side window as disabled. Select it and click Enable Mod to make it active in the pack. And to state the...

I can see your point. Centrifuging Lave to get copper, tin and electrum - totally useless outside GregTech Turning all the excess Dirt into sand, clay and plants - who would need any of this? Clay into Lithium - not like this would be a good power source for steam boilers, right? Steel in the...

It means that your current place doesn't fit the requirements for the bee. For instance the desert bee (Mundane Bee?) likes it hot and dry, it doesn't work in the normal temperature of a Plains biome. The Wintry Bee likes it icy, it needs Temperature Tolerance UP 2 (or Both 2) to work in plains...

You need more than 7k coal to heat up a full sized HP boiler. After that you need one piece of coal every 10 seconds. And if you use Charcoal, you need more than 14k for the heat-up and then a Charcoal every 5 seconds. Blaze Rods? 28.5k to heat up the boiler, after that a rod every 2.5 secs. As...

I can't check YouTube at the moment, but watch "Block Tutorial: Applied Energistics & Logistics Pipes Connectivity" by BevoLJ from 06/28/2013. From what I remember, he got complete access to the inventories using ME Interfaces and a few LP pipes.

0.10.01 was before the new system was added? Try something like this: Flat Extreme Hills Biome, Single Biome, Clear Modifiers // <- there was a bug in the biome generation that required this additional Clear Modifier Bright, Eternal Rain Zero Length, Noon, Normal Sun Full Length...

There are also posts popping up that Logistics Pipes will be added to FTB? That would make the interdimensional AE almost obsolete. (There was a mod spotlight from Bevo not too long ago, where he built a remote AE system by simply adding a few LP pipes. I haven't used the mod yet, so no idea how...

That's what I thought as well. Tiny Piles from Bees with GregTech, nuggets if you use bees without it. And with GregTech there would be an easy solution with the Electric Autocraftingtable. You can set the crafting mode in the interface, one of the modes just stores all input in an internal...

I love Direwolf's Let's Plays and the overview that he gives in his spotlights for new or updated mods. But that's all they are - overviews and introductions. He seems to create his spotlight videos after talking to the mod author, but with a fairly limited amount of hands-on experience. For the...

Take a look at the "Cursed Earth" from the Extra Utilities mod. That should make for a really efficient and compact mob spawner. 5x5 spawn room with MFR Grinder, 2 blocks high, sticky pistons above the ceiling and beneath the floor. Then you can switch the spawner off with a simple redstone...

Isn't an MFR/Forestry/Steve's tree farm one of the first things you would normally build?

You would need a whole forest of MFR trees (and re-plant them) to get the same amount as you get from a rubber wall within a minute of tapping. A square of 5x4 walls has 80 rubber nodes, they drop on average 2 resins. Throw them in the extractor and you get 480 IC2 rubber. That's a lot of...

Where do you get your Tiny Piles of Dust from? Do you have GregTech added to your Unleashed Pack?

GregTech adds a lot of gameplay. The Industrial Grinder for example offers more flexibility for ore processing. Centrifuging or electrolyzing materials into something else and building large production chains is fun. Balancing the chains with the materials you get from your quarry is a challenge...
