I understand what you're saying but comparing the RP tubes to BC pipes the tubes do a lot more without creator input than the pipes. Even if you only consider the shortest path algorithm that they use they reduce the complexity heavily. Row of 10 barrels, pipes/tubes along the top. The tubes...

It would be back to BC pipes mostly which means having to plan for overflow/filled containers that RP tubes do automatically. I had just switched from BC Pipes to RP2 tubes in hopes of simplifying the storage network. The real annoyance is that tubes work properly with barrels filling first...

I'd been using apiarist chests but they kept filling up. didn't realize there was a machine to store unlimited number of them. Have to look through the lists again. I don't do much with bees right now so mostly just storing them away for when I bother. I actually use barrels the most. The...

One off items from chests pretty much have to go into an 'unsorted' pile. They aren't worth the resources to dedicate more to them because you'll get one here one there. Not counting those, only things that I get 5 or more of on average I ended up with a list of 193 items and probably still have...

On unix systems ifconfig will display the interface configuration and the current link on it. It also allows you to adjust it but I recommend leaving it alone in hosting environments unless you -really- know what you're doing.

To be honest most mods could set a professional coder (or even those of us who are formally trained in coding but do other IT stuff) on edge. It is a hobbist sport, can't hold it to same standards. Street basketball compared to NBA. Least that is what I keep telling myself as I read through the...

There is a configuration option in the newer versions of Forestry to change to make it go square.

One MFFS set to kill can correct that behavior very rapidly. Especially if you set up the security to strip all their stuff from them. Nothing like taking everything the trespasser has. Of course I'm considered somewhat anti-social and been told I'm mean.

As others mentioned flux is really a time cured problem not a 'do something' to fix type problem. There are mitigation methods against the problems it causes such as boxing it, sentry guns or other automated kill method to kill wisps (for fun box the node and pop a wither boss in it, they'll...

Well if you post it I'm certainly willing to look at it (and I'm sure others will as well). I can't promise much looking over it until the weekend though, at a remote site for work and my time is bit limited for that sort of thing but I'm willing to try and see if I notice anything you overlooked.

That's really rather interesting. The pipes themselves in how they operate really shouldn't cause that far as I can tell. I could understand lag when they were sending tons of stuff around (extra graphics of items moving) but just sitting there doesn't make much sense. I don't suppose you...

I can cause the same result of missing stuff as indicated earlier in the thread. Never really affected me though since my Ender chest is cleaned out as fast as something is put into it. Odds of losing more than a couple of raw materials is nearly zero but for others could be a big issue.

Honestly if you're that far along you can always crank up the fusion reactor. No boom potential and all the power you could ever use. Pipe it into a crapton of storage units for a short run and you should be good for some time. That way you don't have to always keep it running (takes lot to keep...

Remember even though buildcraft pipes aren't 'smart' by themselves if you add gates and pipe wire to the route you have a lot of options.

Well after going and doing some research (I hadn't really paid much attention to Xycraft. I'd chalked it up as vaporware/pretty blocks eternally) I'm inclined to believe that you're mostly right. There still times and areas I'd choose to use the other tank types but they wouldn't be the primary...

Another issue I have with using redpower is yet another fking stupid power grid. Mean seriously, keeping up with another and one that specifically had removed the one conversion mod between types (I least can use power converters to warp easily between eu, bc, steam if I feel need) so I have to...

Well it is and it isn't. Depends on the situation. I'll agree most of the time no but if you're trying to build in such a way to minimize chunks then size does become somewhat of an issue. Moreso if you want to keep the base from being surface visible.

Hm. Haven't used the relay but looking at it the item has to be inserted on it's own power. So if my quarries are in a mystcraft world I'd have the relay put item in the chest (no reason, quarry can put directly into the chest) but I can't get it to take from the chest in my fortress world since...

I've had similar issue in that I need the sorter to handle at least 5 quarries running at maximum capability. The sheer amount of stuff backlogs and fills up the ender chest in most configurations. What I've done in past is buildcraft using multiple 'exit' pipes from the same chest all fully...

Mystcraft eternal night, eternal snow. That would get you close, just not with the 20 day prior buildup.
