What does luck + autosmelt do? Does it give you extra yield for metals as well?

Don't bother using thorium as NRs in this version, the hybrid effect actually lowers the power output. With quad plutonium cells on a 4x2 rectangle with NR caps, they produce 2880 eu/t. Replace the NRs with single thorium cells and it lowers to around 2600 eu/t (unless its just the computer cube...

You can point it down? How, when you have to attach it to the base? (Unless the base can be placed on walls, which I haven't tried).

Well, ive played with the arcane bore for a bit. Its pretty quick, but it doesn't clear out all the blocks within its radius like I thought it would. It just destroys a seemingly random selection of blocks and then stops. Is there a way to make it destroy all blocks in its range?

I've decided that I want to a bit of silk touch automining, which is why i'm aiming to get an arcane bore. I've tried it out in a test world and it seems pretty good. However, i'm worried that my tools might break while its going, so it won't be silk-touching them anymore. Is there a way to...

Using single cell plutonium just seems like a waste. I'm not that hard up for a bit of copper not to take advantage of the increased efficiency (which is why I would never use plutonium if it isn't a CRCS setup).

That's exactly what I was going to do with my plutonium :p I guess I would just use the excess thorium in some mark 1 reactors, though I don't know any good setups for them using only thorium.

I do have 1 problem with this - it has a rather low efficiency of 3. With a good breeder this isn't a huge issue, but hey... some of us have compulsions :p Still it is a rather nice setup I must say, and a lot less laggy than a tree farm. I reckon i'll uild one of these instead. By the way...

By whose decree is this? Though to be fair, the IC2 people don't give us much reason to use them...

Thing is, without compact/advanced solars/windmills, do people still spam solars/windmills? I don't use solars, but I would miss my ultimate solar helmet.

Meh, maybe i'll do that next time. One disadvantage of this setup is that it eats up my FPS on my not-very-powerful laptop. I'll have to save this design for when i'm on my proper computer.

Only one, 25x25 is its maximum range with an emerald upgrade. However, the amount of wood means I'm using 4 harvesters. I'm also using 9 lilypads of fertility, conveniently spaced to cover the whole farm. To be sure, 25x25 is a lot of space, but it was a lot quicker to set up than a facility...

If I did, then i'd end up with a 25x25x60 solid block of wood. As it is, there's almost always at least one tree at any given moment.

Yes. Why do you think everyone does it? Though i'm still not sure if there's a point to enchanting quantum armour.

I don't know really, I just always have. I think jungle trees might take longer to grow than redwoods, but i'm not certain.

You do realise Greg adds his own pump, which was pretty much designed with nether pumping in mind? I don't think its as fast as a BC pump, but it reduces lag by eliminating flowing lava blocks; something like that anyway. With regard to MFR farms: you can configure how high they search for...

A better design, but how will you connect all the inport/export buses to the reactors without making it take up more space? The space efficiency one of the main advantages of this nuke tower design I feel.

Its clear boilers need a nerf, but how? Reduce their efficiency? Then they'd be pointless: remember even combustion engines have an efficiency 2/3 as good as a 36hp boiler. Make is much less and everyone will start using them instead. Increasing the fuel needed for the heatup phase doesn't help...

Whats this? What features are there in the latest betas of MFR? Incidentally, I only just though of the most obvious solution to copper shortages: bees. Playability > credibility. I don't like being forced to use something.
