    Sorting Techniques

    im using sortingmachine->relay->router->40 barrels every 40 of the important items, and 4 or 5 chests as overflow for everything else. Im using 2 40-barrel cells atm, but it cna be expanded as much as you want. Routers + barrel = nice wall of easy-to-access and high-capcity storage. Just...

    Steam engine that does not require redstone signal

    Heya! I love the TE engines because they have their redstone behavior thing, but apparently the steam one doe snot run on steam piped in, its like the stirling engine from BC. is there a way to make those engines run on steam directly? I would like to make a "belt" of steam engines and...

    Disabled most tecnical mods except redpower. Can't find copper or tin.

    Why are you playing with RP2 and not the rest of the technical mods? Are you adding RP to a magical world install or something like that? or you just dont like them? If its the latter and you havent tried thermal expansion i suggest you do so. IC2, etc are very different, but TE is very...

    Offline version of the FTB wiki?

    "I don't need the internet." Heresy! Internet is no longer optional, anywhere, for anyone! It should, by now, be a basic human right.

    Yes, Thermal expansion is normally in charge of ore spawning. if you disable thermal expansion you need to indicate redpower to spawn its ores, by editing the redpower config file. They will only spawn in newly generated chunks or new worlds tho.

    Limit processor for server

    Because its a company server, where many processes run that are considered critial. Unfortunately my FTb server is not one of them... I tried lowering the process priority, but still has too much of an effect on the rest of the stuff running.

    Offline version of the FTB wiki?

    There are many applications designed to "crawl" a site and save all the pages and images in a sort of offline version of said site. You could use one of those and save the current state of the wikis of most mods your interested in.

    Question about Boilers (HP Boiler)

    Powered = the section of liquidict attached to the container is set to output and given a redstone signal. Nothing on the rest of the duct.

    Redpower 2 Covers (Lighting Issues)

    I think its using the block light instead of the total light. When in F3 theres 3 values for light, block, sun, and the max of both that is the actual light, if you check F3 while near the RP2 microblocks theyr taking into account only 1 of those. Also, i think the scale of "darkness" it...

    Redpower 2 Covers (Lighting Issues)

    Smooth lightning (at 1% or more with optifine, or enabled in vanilla) will "solve" the issue.

    New Thermal Expansion functionality/item: Tesseracts

    I just love the tesseracts the way they are ATM. Theyve simplified many of my setups a lot and saved me a ton of lag in many many circumstances.

    New Thermal Expansion functionality/item: Tesseracts

    I think a good balance for the item/liquid tesseracts would be to find a way to do the same thing the energy one does (that is, eat up 25% of the transported material). i can see that clearly being applied to liquids, i have no idea how it could be implemented for items tho (eating 25% of your...

    Explosive Transposers

    As soon as there is space in an attached inventory the filter/trasposer/relay/etc will output its items, if for example of the 64 stacks of pearls only 1 fills the inventory, then the other ones will return to the machine. in that period of time the machine can try to output several more stacks...

    The Mystery of the Gate and the Redstone Energy Cube

    "The off switch for the cell is not needed. A cell connected to machinery by conduits will not send any energy when the machines' buffers are full" i think he might be using conductive pipes, not conduits. In that case the cell will happily output 100MJ/t. The easy answer is switch to...

    Some questions about mindcrack

    Yes, that will work. You can also use a remote retriever, wooden pipes+engines, etc. Also, my setup just voids the extra useless stuff because its just too easy to set up an igneous extruder+recycler whenever i want scrap :)

    Measure MJ/Conductive Pipes

    I think one of the biggest advantages of conduits over pipes is that you can make a large mesh of conduits covering your whole base, with loops and all and they wont break, or get energy stuck in loops, or anything like that. Distance becomes very relevant when laying the power grid for...
