Can anyone show me a setup that works? I've tried various combinations of supercondensators and HV transformers, but no matter what I do I can't get the power it produces to go anywhere.

Basically, how many overclockers do I need for my IC2 machines to smelt/macerate/whatever once per tick?

Fml, just realised I had the sorting machine the wrong way round... its working now, thanks guys :)

Just tried both of those, neither of them did anything. The items just sat there in the relay/chest without going anywhere.

Here's my problem: i've just set up my quarry, and I want to sort the items with a sorting machine. However, I don't know how to integrate the BC pipes (connected to the quarry) with the RP tubes. My first thought was to put the items into a chest first, then use some RP machine to pull them out...

This might sound like a weird question, but it only just dawned on me that the reason my ftb was lagging so bad was because I had spawned in a forest, and the number of items lying on the ground (mainly saplings) was enough to give me about 3-4 fps. So is there a way of getting rid of them...

It says on the wiki the chance of the rod being struck by lightning depends on the height of the rod. Does this mean it depends on the height of the top of the rod, or simply the length of the rod. In other words, should I build this on top of a mountain or at bedrock level?

Suppose (for arguments sake) that I had a HV transformer converting 2048eu/t into 512eu/t. What actually happens? Does it just turn 1 packet of 2048eu into 4 packets of 512 eu? Or does it just throw away the other 1536eu per packet?

I always just thought of gravisuite and the like as addons, since they can't exist without IC2. Whereas forestry, thermal expansion and railcraft are big enough mods to be in their own right. Also I forgot about factorization. I suppose the question should have been "why do mods use different...

I mean, why? There are so many more ways of generating EU that there are MJ, yet the only mods that use EU are IC2 and GT, whereas virtually every other mod involving machines (apart from RP) uses MJ. Maybe there should be a way to configure the type of power than machines use (apart from Core...

To add to the above post, you'll lose less power than you might think because when the values for EU usage and time taken are worked out, they are always rounded down. For instance, if some operation normally takes 1 eu/t to do, and you add 1 overclocker, then it should take 1.6eu/t, but this...

Well, i've stumbled upon an ingenious idea for getting truly incredible eu/t from a nuclear setup - up to 5440eu/t! You should check this thread out to see how. Its a bit hard to explain but i'll try; you use coolant cells to keep the reactor cool. Then, when the cells are almost depleted, you...

I was thinking - glass fibre cable loses 1EU per 25 blocks, right? So if I put a batbox in with the wire every 24 blocks, would that prevent any distance-related energy loss? If not, are there any other ways of doing it (I am aware of superconductor wire, but thats a tad expensive, and you can't...

Maybe we can ask Greg to give us enough types of metal bars for the full colour spectrum. Also, if you really want to build with iridium you can always make iridium-reinforced stone.

Just a quick question: how many IC2 generators can I run off of 1 tier 5 blaze spawner (using the blaze rods as fuel)? And how much power would such a setup even produce?

You haven't answered my question, I was asking if it was possible, not whether or not it was practical. Anyway, to use plutonium cells in the first place requires GT, which means I can use iridium reflectors which last forever (and aren't even that expensive). As far as I can tell, the only...

Is there a way to automate this design? Because I have far more redstone and lapis then I could ever need, but I don't want to have to turn my reactor off every 5 seconds to recharge the condensators. I guess i'd have to use some RP stuff, but I haven't had the chance to use RP stuff at all so I...

Actually thats four words :p What changes are they making to mystcraft? I thought they'd already finished up with them by now, I guess by "balancing" they really mean just getting rid of extra ores.;)

I have no idea, I can't think of any major things that need fixing though. Also, they'd better add GT. I've heard they're leaving it out, but it gives me more stuff to do endgame.

Definitely my favourite is the nuclear reactor (fission, not fusion); I mean, how often do you get to play around with some enriched uranium/plutonium IRL? I just wished you could still do CASUC reactors (technically you can still make them, but automating them is a colossal pain in the arse)...
