Iridium-reinforced-tunstensteel blocks is the most high-tech looking block IMO. Plus you don't need lights since mobs can't spawn on them. Good blast resistance too. If that's a bit out of your reach though, i'd say construction foam. Can be painted and is quite clean. In my next world, i'm...

Ahem...

Yes, I believe it was, though I can't remember where I read it. Thank you.

Well obviously, its a story. A work of fiction.

What didn't happen?

Applied Energistics is essentially moving items along wires to somewhere convenient, right? It just struck me that it seems awfully similar to a scientific short story I read years ago. The story went like this: a scientist discovered a way to disassemble the atoms of a cat and transmit them...

Except you automatically like 5% for using redstone conduits. Shame really. The only reason I can think of that transformers wouldn't work is if you have them the wrong way round. If not, you could use MFSUs - expensive, but you can always use it in place of your regular energy storage system.

Boron nitride is hard, but you can go 1 better. The ridiculously named Lonsdaleite is 58% harder than diamond. Boron nitride is only 18% hard than diamond.

It also weighs like 6x as much (well, IRL it does. Its also not as hard as diamond, but whatever). Titanium would be a much more sensible material for making armour...

What is it used for? It was recently added by GT; you can only make it from UU matter. However, it isn't used for anything AFAIK. Does anyone know? I ask because I saw someone on another thread (can't remember who) mention they have osmium boots..

Seriously, at the minute the nether is completely featureless aside from fortresses. Now we have a reason to stay there longer than necessary.

I know, which is why I have never bothered with complete automation, though that is also partly because I find it unnecessary. I think that a GT advanced filter can output exactly what you wantr into each slot, and nothing else, which you could connect to your ME network via a storage bus (I...

Unfortunately my world is still on 1.4.7, and the fuzzy buses aren't added until 1.5. In my world i'm automating it with RP. No doubt an AE setup would be far easier/simpler, but I haven't an example of that to show you (yet), nor do I know of anyone who does. When I update though, i'll make one.

To be honest, I don't like how DW20 showed a condensator-cooled reactor to the masses without mentioning that you blow about 1/3 of your EU on lapis, more if you're using GT. He really ought to have made a CRCS system. Automating a CRCS system is pretty easy, especially with the fuzzy buses...

I have an automated induction furnace, thank you very much. Anyway, even when it is automated, you then have to find something else to do in the meantime. By the way, what mod adds a steam oven? Is it just a furnace that runs off steam?

What everyone said really, multiple powered furnaces. Good to see that there's something that IC2 still beats other mods at :)

I will miss getting diamond dust from nikolite, but I guess I could live without it. What worries me is that I may be currently using something from RP2 without realising.

I just made a manyullyn longsword, with paper handguard and paper stick. I then used the gold block + diamond and a nether star for a total of 7 modifiers. I then used 1 for electric and put the rest on sharpness. This gave it a damage of 10.5 hearts, enough to 1-shot skeletons and creepers. A...

Does stonebound work if you get it nearly broken then put electric on it? If so that's pretty amazing. Also: how high damage can you get with any weapon? I tried making a rapier (heard it was the best), but the damage was rather underwhelming, 3 hearts base? Come on, a diamond sword does 5.

Meh, you might as well just use AE, doesn't need that much power really, and it makes everything really easy. To be honest, if you can power it AE is superior in pretty much every way to any tipe of piping ever (aside from the cost).
