    Handling excess materials with router sorting

    Not very useful when there are 50 barrels for stuff to go in.

    Question about boilers.

    I'm not using Catalyst automatically. I do that manually, though I have a small mob farm that passively gets me a few mob drops (bones for catalyst). I am however powering 3 fermenters, though. Probably hard to see behind the spaghetti of pipes :D

    What does YOUR Power Room look like?

    Question about boilers.

    Yes, indeed. Then I can expand my Biofuel production! Oh god, building this thing was like typing code and not commenting any of it (I'm a programmer). There were a few mistakes after I finished it and I had to go in and trace pipes all over to find why pipes were mixing, things were spilling...

    Question about boilers.

    Ah, never knew that! Thanks for the info. I'm completely new to Forestry and RedPower. Only really used Buildcraft and IC2 a lot. So I have my forestry farm producing Biofuel, but the setup is extremely clumsy. Here, I'll show some pictures and you can tell me what's going on (good luck)...

    Redpower Power Conversion

    Thermal Expansion: The best 'expansion' to Buildcraft ever made. King Lemming is probably going to see this, so I'll say that you, my friend, are amazing and mods and do a great job on the polished feel your mod gives.

    Redpower Power Conversion

    None currently exists. You can use a magma crucible to convert MJ into EU (lava in geothermals) to do a two step conversion.

    Redpower Power Conversion

    Bluelectric engines produce MJ from BT. Though it costs a lot of BT.

    Question about boilers.

    Alright. well for now, I've created a 7x6x7 iron tank to store the excess steam until I figure out what I want to use it on (more quarries or forestry farms perhaps? :D)

    BC conductive pipe overflow or something? (Direwolf20 modpack)

    Golden conductives have the ability to use gates, so if you need to use logic to control stuff, sometimes using conductive pipes is much better--much more compact, even with redPower (you could always use structure pipes with gates but that takes away a possible I/O side and more space)

    Question about boilers.

    If I have only 2 industrial steam engines hooked up to a boiler that can handle much more, will the fuel be wasted or used less?

    BC conductive pipe overflow or something? (Direwolf20 modpack)

    Really? I had an energy cell hooked up to my quarry power system (uses 4 magmatic to power quarry). When setting the cell's output over 35 MJ/t (effective 51 MJ/t but with 5% loss is 48.5 MJ/t), one of my magmatic engines started overheating.

    Aluminium vs Aluminum

    I surrounded a nuke in the shields inside my nuke room (that has shields for walls and reinforced stone behind it) and without covering the nuke, my base gets destroyed. When I cover the nuke, my base stays fine except for 95% of my nuke room LOL I am able to make unlimited MFSU thanks to RP...

    Umm...okay, WOW. (BC conductive pipes + Magma Engines)

    Just saying it won't be infinite because I've been playing my SSP world for a couple weeks now (or whenever the mindcrack pack came out) and I've emptied 4 lava lakes already. Yeah.. gonna think about moving to a steam boiler setup... if I can figure out forestry (never tried it) :D

    BC conductive pipe overflow or something? (Direwolf20 modpack)

    Quarries accept a max of 50 MJ/t so make sure you're not producing more than that.

    Mindcrack v5?

    It fixed the Extrabees conflict. I deleted my configs and mods folder and still get the error. I have world backups so it's not a big deal. I'll just wait until the pack updates.

    Mindcrack v5?

    I expect a v7.

    Automate RP battery charging?

    I found out about the RP charging station, but my batteries aren't charging in there. Why?

    MindCrack - Aluminium - Omni Tools

    That would be quite an odd name for an ore that's so common.

    Automate RP battery charging?

    Excuse me if this is extremely simple but it's late and I've never used red power before (I've watched direworl20's spotlight and his SMP series since S03E40, but when it comes to trying, I forget most of it). Now, since charged and uncharged batteries both go in the same slot, I've found...
