If you're going to make a generator to run off of biofuel i'd recommend the gregtech diesel generator instead of the forestry one. It accepts biofuel and generates the same amount of energy per bucket(although it only generates 8 eu/t instead of 16), but it can also use buildcraft fuel to...

Odd. Your dirt and gravel should never go down the blue path. Had an issue one time where every single item came out marked white when only one kind of item was to be sent down the white path and the others were spread among three other colors. Just had to change colors and it worked fine, you...

Thaumcraft also has a late research that is a block that flings you up in the air 10 blocks. You can stack them to increase the distance as well. It's not a traditional elevator, but it's going to be the fastest option in minecraft short of flying everywhere with a gravity chestplate.

I assumed the mod author did it on purpose since there was no reason to ever make his wrench over the plain old buildcraft one. Was it just a bug?

Yeah they're going to be screwed until they reset, whatever it is that causes that. You can probably break them yourself and re-place them as well, though if you're really short on biomass that's a lot to ask. If you chunkload them it should stop reoccurring outside of when you first log on...

I had this problem a ton initially. Every time I logged in, wandered too far, or swapped ages/nether/end/etc. After I chunkloaded it, it stopped happening outside of when I log in. Seems like(guesstimate) they aren't always/properly checking if they're supposed to be running or not until the...

Right, 8 machine casings around what with an industrial sawmill on top?

Ah, thanks. Upon further investigation, I had noticed it had a solid black block in the center of 8 casings on the side picture, I just couldn't figure out what the black block was. Red was empty space, white was machine casing, green was the interface block, but no clue what black was until...

So, apparently this needs some configuration of machine casings to function(like the industrial blast furnace, which needs to be attached to a 3x3x4 of them identical to the railcraft blast furnace), but I have no clue what and it's page is just a note saying he needs to add information there...

Maybe i'm looking at it wrong, but I just put "block of iron" in recipe mode NEI and the third tab to the right was 9 ingots in a compressor. No circular anything, it was right there.

But the most recent available version of forge is .467... Whatever, screw it, I just mashed both packs together in the direwolf20 pack in the launcher. It all works fine other than traincraft and advancedsolars, which conflict with forestry and compactsolars(not exactly a big deal on the...

I added it to mindcrack and it started up fine, however it appears to crash any time I try to use this descriptive book I just wrote. Going to try to track down why. Edit: Appears to crash on just any use of a descriptive book, written or random.

I believe Thaumcraft's infused ores start at 50 and go down to 15 or so? At least they did in the magic world pack, dunno if that's changed.

Balsa was in Magic World 1.4.5. The leaves were rather buggy and wouldn't break themselves after the wood was removed, but it did exist. Also the saplings won't stack for whatever reason. The planks look a little bit like iron blocks. I'd find a sapling of it every now and then in the thaumcraft...

Silverwood logs are also a really easy way to get the generic "magic" aspect, altenatives are the vis shards and blaze rods/powder. Maybe magma cream?

I've thought about tossing myself a wand of excavation or two when starting out. Still not sure if I'm actually going to do it or not though. The whole setup though, no. Excessive use of forestry and BC pipes to provide power for everything has left my world feeling a little sluggish...

Couldn't you surround the top of the track completely in glass to prevent leaves from growing over it but not stop the solar engine from working? I'm not too familiar with steve's carts, but any other solar panel would work fine that way. Edit: Just tested this in the 1.4.2 pack, works just...

Beat me to it, I was just about to point out you can easily do fuel free water mill farms with 20 mills, a timer, a deployer, a filter, a retreiver, about 30 buckets, and a thermopile. 40 eu/t with 100% uptime anywhere, can be built underground. It's much much much cheaper than 40 solar panels...

It can accept 8192 eu/t so you can put it in an eternal storm age with four lightning rods directly attached and it's pretty fast. It was never intended to be faster though, it costs 100x the mass fab's cost to produce UU with scrap, and it requires scrap rather than leaving it optional. It's...

I did mine outside, used lava just like that but had no issues with burning golems. Keep the tall grass clear of your cauldron and fires won't start. Only problem with that is, one of the plant-based aspects will randomly spawn a ton of flowers and tall grass right on the crucible when it's...
