Although a surprising amount of people think that Gravisuite is added by GT, and I must admit the lines get a little blurred for me too.

I'm pretty excited for Xycraft because apparently the power system involves bulky-ish multiblocks, which sounds really cool (and a bit like this). Have you played around with Factorisation? That photo looks a lot like the setup that they use.

I think it's F7 to turn it off, it shows you where mobs can spawn :) EDIT: Double ninja'd, wow

Can't you just run the redstone up to the turtles? I'm pretty sure they can interact with it. Otherwise you can use a wireless modem and control them all from a centralised computer :) Wirelessness and less lag

It's nothing amazing, but definitely better than a 9x9 :) Keep experimenting and I'm sure you'll find the perfect combination of function and style. Personally, I make an extremely aesthetic-based building with basic machines and storage, and anything bulky or ugly (like the GT multi blocks) go...

Yep, quarries are from buildcraft, not industrialcraft, so you don't need a wrench to break them.

1) Nope, but you can use a stirling engine powered by coal. 2) Use BC pipes; connect a wooden one to the chest and power it with a redstone engine and then connect to the input (orange face) of the magma crucible. Same thing for lava and the geothermal but you'll have to waterproof your pipes...

Make the walls taller and add crenellations, and try to add supporting buttress type things on the outside to give it depth (1x1x(heightofwall) cobblestone pillars with a stair on top) on the outside.

I believe it offers as much protection as diamond but has the enchantability and durability of iron.

I've also been trying to catch up on all of the Mindcrack podcasts, i'm up to 4; if you keep fairly up to date with current events on the Mindcrack server they're bloody hilarious.

The back is the side that isn't the front The front is the side that faces you when you place it and has a black rectangle thing on it.

The ones I watch often are Ethoslab (the man is a god, but don't try and use him as an example in FTB because he's trying to be unique and using really awkward systems) Vintagebeef Guudeboulderfist (not been uploading recently) AnderZEL (don't watch as much any more) SethBling Direwolf20...

Input through the top, output from the side, power from the front, back, or bottom.

If the crystal cluster pushes the vis amount above the natural limit it creates flux; for example someone on my server had a node which had 5000/3000 vis (he grew a lot of trees) which he had surrounded with crystal clusters and the amount of wisps literally made it impossible to visit him, he...

When you wear your goggles, is there more vis in the environment than the nodes natural limit? This causes a lot of flux and usually the culprit is a crystal cluster. Remove it and the flux SHOULD start to go down.

The problem is that the saving grace to the BC power comes from Railcraft and TE which both improve the system. If you know how to use the mod IC2 (which you should if you've been playing since before TE because back then it was the core of the mod pack (and yes, the...

TE doesn't add its own power system, it expands on the BC one. The reason that IC2 is superior is that it is easier to use. All of the ways to power BC engines (steam boilers, hobbyist engines, the combustion engine) have to be on for a long time to reach efficiency; its not a "turn on use power...

Random question; Are you a vet (animal doctor), a veteran of minecraft or a veteran of a war? American slang/abbreviations and stuff confuse me :P

I speak mainly for myself here but I'm sure others will agree: I will probably never ever use wind power simply because to use it you have to have a hideous floating spiderweb of intertwined cables and clouds of metal boxes, all with a line of batboxes leading into your base. To me this is just...

There are pros and cons to each PROS: TE: Awesome intertwining thingy and cool UI and graphics, more machines and diversity IC2: Better power system built around the early access to energy storage and faster machines + space for upgrades + more advanced machines (induction smelter etc) CONS...
