Hmm, what about iron golem farm, turn iron ingots into iron nuggets? Assuming you can actually recycle nuggets.

I know, right? Modders shouldn't give people an incentive not to use armour.

To be honest, on my survival world I just use ender eye dust as it is. Easy 150k amplifier per eye. In fact I don't even bother with automation, its that easy. Thing is, this relies on GT, since you can only use scrap in vanilla IC2 (I think? possibly scrapboxes as well). A question I would...

I don't even see the point of making cobble non-recycable, it'll just make people find something else automatable and recycable.

Of course, sticks! Why didn't I think of that!?

Err, you can't use cobble in a matterfab anyway... I assume you mean you can't recycle them. I don't suppose cobble slabs are either? It might be cheating a bit, and I don't know if its in the 152 packs, but you could always set up a zombie soul shard or something and recycle the rotten flesh...

Well, I have a question regarding the cargo manager. At the minute I have a wooden pipe + autarchic gate pulling items out of the cargo manager and into an ender chest. However, I would like to use the cargo manager to automatically place tracks in the cart railer's inventory. However, the...

Actually I was referring to every version of SC. I thought that they always had durability, but apparently not.

Actually, its less to do with this, and more to do with the fact that you can't create an age anything like what the pages say, even with a guide. Every mining age i've attempted to make has been a floating island with every form of instability going (yes, this is without dense ores). Then you...

I'm really starting to like SC as well, though in this case for tunnel boring (if only the bloody chunk loader would work :mad:). Mystcraft though... is the largest pain in the arse on this earth.

MFR farms are pretty much the most OP thing ever. You should use them, though use them 2x2 trees, you'll get much better wood yields.

I think there is, unless they got rid of them. Let me check. EDIT: I could've sworn there used to be chrome bees. Apparently they got rid of them. Maybe they were considered OP? Incidentally, there also used to be iridium bees, but they were deemed OP as well, so now they're gone too.

The hardened drill doesn't have infinite durability, though it is incredilby high - it'll mine out 1000000 blocks before breaking. Thats a tunnel 40k blocks long. Still, it should have gone down a bit... what version are you using? AFAIK, its always had durability, though I might be wrong...

Ruby bees? Wouldn't you be better off with chrome bees? Unless you need rubies for other stuff as well. The easiest way would be bees, bees, bees. Chrome + titanium bees in alvearies should produce the necessary metal in no time.

Well, this is strange - the chunk loader is working now. I switched the cart engine off so I could examine its contents without it moving. This turned the chunk loader off. When I turned it back on it started working. Weird. I do hope this bug is fixed in 1.5.2. Still, all's well that ends...

I thought it was 2.25x? Same as with diamonds and things.

I assume by a 'system of carts' you mean steves carts? Becuase that most certainly is fully automateable. In fact, a SC tunnel bore is pretty much the most maintenance-free automining system there is. Not to mention far faster than anything without using frames.

Factorisation is the only ore tripling method I know of. Other than that, the only way to triple anything is with iron ore + calcium carbonate cell in an industrial blast furnace, which gives 3 refined iron (which can be macerated + smelted into normal iron if needed).

Good to see conductive pipes have a use now. I was always annoyed at how I would lose 5% of my power no mater what, now I have a choice of losslessness vs high carrying capacity. Though using a lot of diamond conductive pipes could be a bit expensive.

No, any drill that isn't galgadorian will break, in any version. They do last a while (I think the one below galgadorian will mine out 600k blocks before breaking), but its not infinite.
