Just ran the numbers from processing netherrack. TE takes 8k MJ to produce 18k MJ worth of lava, so you have a 56% MJ gain rate (it's actually 55.55555...etc.) per netherrack. This also means that you have 56% of a lava bucket you can use to produce EU. With a Geothermal Generator, 56% of a...

Isn't there also an upgrade to force them to fill the chests/barrels one at a time? Edit: It's called Thoroughness.

You should be able to use aluminum cans from xycraft in a transposer to fill them with lava, so it's not even that much more resource intensive.

Well one of the reasons for Netherrack > Lava is so people don't lag out the Nether on servers with pumps. As for my first power source, it depends on what's available. If I dig under my starter base and run into a ton of lava, I'm gonna use it. If I don't then I'll start off with coal or...

I knew about the bees thing, but don't want to mess with them until I've started working on my main base. As for the crystallizer....if it's just using that then it shouldn't be too bad, but I didn't see anything about it in NEI.

There was mention of there being liquid UUM that could be input into the UU Crafting table in gregtech, so there very well might be UUM bees.

Can't tell from the picture, but no brain in a jar next to the murder bot? Those things eat up any exp that drops near them, all you have to do is punch the jar and it'll give you some.

Also, if you use a relay the TE machines will output any items into it. This also has the added bonus of not needing to be powered with redstone.

This is what I plan on making my top floor/roof look like once I get around to building the whole system: It might look a bit wonky due to some of the blocks being placed a level higher than the rest - these were mostly used as guides until I realized "Hey, Thaumcraft has a wand for this!"...

Easy way to find out, go creative and make a flat dense ore world and drop a few BC quarries and see what comes out. Make sure to run them off of max output energy cells so they go blazing fast.

If you're using Gregtech you can make a rubber tree farm and centrifuge 16 rubber wood to get 4 methane cells, some plant balls (which can be macerated into dirt and put back into the farm), sticky resin, and coal cells which can be used in an electric crafting table to return the cells and make...

I managed to get lucky and got 3 saplings from a single tree using the sickle. Was in a Mystcraft age and had gotten tired of the 500m walks between trees, so I just plodded along and chopped em down and sickled the leaves. Ended up leaving with something like 3 1/2 stacks of silver wood and 7...

Wow, read of a problem and then have it happen. using a similar setup, but Mindcrack v7. I'll probably just cheat in a notebook at this rate since the ages that did load were failures as well -_- Edit: tried the NBTEdit thing, but every time I go back into the game it resets it dimension 4...

The diamond bee was mentioned above. Also, if you really need diamonds you can do what I did, get a Thaumium Pickaxe and enchant it (I know requires diamonds as well :X). My first one with a lvl 30 enchant (tried iron first, it failed horribly) had Fortune 3, Efficiency 4 and Unbreaking 3...

Don't get me wrong, I actually want to use it to some extent, just not in its current state. There's still some work that needs to be done on it, hence why it's still alpha.

Blaze Rods > Blaze Powder > Industrial Electrolyzor = Coal Dust + something else Cobble Generator > Pulverizor = Sand + Gravel Gravel > Pulverizor = Flint Igneous Extruder + Aqueous Accumulator + supply of lava > Obsidian Flint + 8 coal dust > Compressor > 8 Compressed Coal ball + Obsidian >...

Regarding the bone meal and blaze rods, it's actually a bit stronger than you might suspect. Bone meal can be used in a Steve's Carts farm to increase growth speed, and blaze rods can be electrolyzed into coal dust, which can be used to make diamonds. Now yes, you can get these same things by...

That's kinda lame, seeing as it shows a wither spawner in NEI :X

Can't wait to eventually get that kind of thing going. just spent about 6 hours on a blaze farm - after about 10 minutes of waiting I got over 100 in a small area and punched em all to death to help fill my soul shard :X What would be really interesting is if someone killed enough of the...

All of the double slabs share a block id, they just have different damage values. It's designed that way so you the mod only added one block, rather than 15.
