If we were talking about something that was actually in the mod pack and available to play with like EE3, for example, then you would be right. As it is though, what is being demo'd in the forgecraft server is not available for us unwashed masses to play and is very much a work in progress. As...

What Itharian said. The 36HP boilers are more space efficient, while the LP boilers take less fuel to heat. My personaly preference would of course be te more space efficient HP boilers. As for Omicron saying 60 hours for 97% efficiency, I have no idea where he pulled that number from. Maybe...

I've seen the node Banzai was mentioning. The guy edited the NBT to make it so the node was so large that he couldn't fit in a single picture and if he tried to get even slightly further from it it would've been out of his render distance. However, while making one that size might be possible...

2x pulverized iron/iron dust + 1 pulverized ferrous metal/nickel dust = 3 Invar blend/dust. You smelt that. Also, with Gregtech it changes the pulverizer's outputs to dusts and makes the invar blend recipe output invar dust. They're all functionally the same though.

Derp, someone messaged me about having problems with the setup I posted above and I noticed that my picture of the 72 engines only had 64. However, after adding in the 8 missing engines it's still working fine. That said, I should note that, for those that can't see it, I do have the two lines...

Yup, and soon EBXL saplings will be supported by the fermenter, so...yay! Now some of us will be able to make use of all of what we get, and hopefully if SC2 ends up supporting non-vanilla saplings I can get it running with an autumn tree themed setup.

You need wooden pipes to draw items out of chests and machines. That's why you need them attached to the chest - so it can draw items into your pipes, much like how a transposer/filter can put items into an RP2 tube network. As for the types of pipe, cobblestone and stone pipes are for making...

Here's a picture of a simple loop: I left out the gate, but this is a wooden pipe feeding into stone piping. At the end the stone pipe connects to sandstone pipe, which allows it to connect to cobblestone pipe which doesn't connect to stone piping. This allows for a compact loop. The...

Well, you can forgo the buildcraft stuff and swap to just RP2. What you could do is either use a relay by itself as a chest that would send out netherrack when it is needed or you could attach a transposer/filter to the iron chest and when none of the machines need netherrack it will...

The version we're using gives 4x the sapling and apple output than it's supposed to (1 stack becomes 4) - this also applies to items you drop near it. Looking at the changelog though this is fixed in a later version that isn't in FTB yet. Granted, the next version also decreases the fertilizer...

Or, you know, dig in the lower layers and mine ferrous ore instead of relying on pulverizing iron? You'll know the ore when you see it, it has that brownish tinge that the ferrous dust or w/e it's called has. Sure, it's not the most common thing in the world, but if you look for it you'll find it.

Can't you enchant wands of equal trade to recharge now? I believe I saw that in the Thaumanomicon.

By the way, there have been people that have made mods to help fix the nether lag, though I don't know how well they work. Having said that, I would have to say it is the light updates that seem like they would cause more lag than the actual lava flowing, due to the horrible light mechanics in...

@noah, you could do that, and there are other methods of producing iron from nothing, it's just that UUM is the one that's most easily calculated as most other methods are luck based. It's not so much the cost of replacing the iron so much as it being the cost to run the system in a closed loop...

You realize this is a bug right? It's not just the saplings it harvests, but any saplings/apples it picks up, meaning you can throw a stack of saplings on top of the hatch (probably anywhere in its pickup radius to be honest) and get 4 stacks out of the farm. Try it and you'll see that it's a...

One pretty neat function for the tesseracts I've experimented with is a quick switch for fuel types to feed boilers. You can stick a tesseract right next to a boiler's firebox and it'll input, then all you need is some tesseracts getting different fuel types from tanks and you can swap between...

Just a heads up, it's 99 steel for 2 rotors, not one. This means for 99 steel you'll get 864m eu. As for UUM, isn't it 5 uum for 2 ores, making it 5 uum for 4 steel, when not factoring in ways to triple the iron? This would mean each steel would roughly be 20,833,332.5 eu per steel when using...

I had actually made a mistake on my earlier post regarding saplings being duped with filters and the hatches - the farm can do it all on its own. It's very simple to duplicate, take a stack of saplings and drop it on a hatch. When the hatch sucks up the saplings voila, 4 stacks. This also...

Yup, run fuel directly into the firebox. Another thing to note, if you use the design above you can fuel 4 boilers fairly easily (more than that but 4 are easy to align) with a single tesseract, however to transport steam you'll need one tesseract per boiler. That said, for the engine chain...
