Feed the redstone output of the power monitor into an AE2 Toggle Bus to switch the export on/off. Toggle buses don't use a channel, but be careful to apply the redstone signal to the block space the toggle bus actually occupies. It's a "cable addon" similar to quartz fibres. Also note that the...

Most things are okay once you get used to them, or once you progress far enough to outpace them with OP gear. Firebats are very annoying, early on your best bet probably is a Thaumcraft lightning focus or similar hitscan+"lazy aim" ranged weapon, later on you can facetank them until they...

My main gripe with the pan is that knockback appears to be 2D only. Other than that you also lose out on the loot and it's ineffective in tight spaces.

Not sure which of this existed back then, but without ExtraTiC Manyullin is the most damaging material, and Cleavers have the highest weapon type bonus. As only the blade contributes to damage the other parts can be made of paper with the extra modifiers spent on quartz. Cleavers apply Mining...

ChickenChunks is still in the pack, but it's disabled by default. I would suggest using FTBUtilities when you can, but ChickenChunks is easier if you already have a large, vaguely square/circular base. Or if the map is obscured by something.

They might not have any effects, though some of the respective materials also come with levels of Reinforced. Thaumic gives one extra modifier for the first part, and another one if the entire tool is made of Thaumium. Mathematical makes the tool Unbreakable if it is crafted entirely from...

Well, most materials are just intermediate upgrades. There's only one max durability number, only one max attack damage and so on. Which of the stats you want to min-max may differ, but once you fix that your choices are very limited. For example in 1.7 (without ExtraTiC or other addons)...

You might want to put the version number in the title as even within MC1.7 there were several massive changes, and the 1.8 version is completely different too. That said, what's stopping you from going into a test world and just trying out all "reasonable" options? Everyone has a different...

The mod is still there, but it's disabled by default. Make sure to re-enable the mod every time there's a pack update before you load up your world or all placed chunkloaders will vanish :( Some people have reported problems with FTBUtilities, and the ChickenChunks are much less hassle for...

One caveat with subnetworks is that they don't allow access to autocrafting from the main network. Due to this it's probably best to P2P over a "main network" line to each area and host all AE-based autocrafting in one place close to your controller. Since many systems instead produce continuous...

Because bulk output is done via casting basins which would require 9 ingots' worth, and most materials are incompatible with the gem casts if you use those instead. It also wastes fuel, meaning you have to care about refilling that. And it increases the downtime during which the smeltery is...

Glass is a cheap and plentiful material for the "vacation portal". It also yields a full bucket per block, which is very convenient for setting filters. My preferred method is to use TE fluiducts with a tank buffer, filtered for the filler material. A delay mechanic like the tank is necessary so...

The fluid output and item consumption rates are nigh unlimited. The bottleneck is the transfer of biofuel from the internal buffer to the output tank, which occurs at a rate of 1mB/t. There is a fine difference in that if you let the reactor backlog fuel in its output tank you can drain it...

Yeah, large treefarms are terrible. EnderIO does it quite well though. Going big is an option for early game crops however, especially if you haven't progressed any magic mods for growth boosters yet. For single-block crops it's a tradeoff between space cost and resources/efficiency. Plus large...

If resource cost is an issue the largest size you can afford is the most efficient, because space and seeds cost virtually nothing compared to additional machines and upgrades. If it's enabled the "villager vacation portal" makes top-tier upgrades super easy, including those for Storage Drawers...

Materials, Tools and Weapons. Not entirely up to date and missing ExtraTiC, but it's a good start. The Full Guard affects final durability, other guards only pass on traits (but may contribute to durability via Reinforced etc.); regular Tool Bindings don't influence durability and Tough Bindings...

Again, you only have to care about the horizontal spread of your base. If you're living in an abandoned mineshaft that still means trouble, but most base designs have a fairly clear perimeter. Also the ChickenChunks block has a "show lasers" option to outline the chunkloaded area with animated...

All chunkloaders should completely disregard vertical distance, so you only have to worry about the X, Z grid. Minimap mods generally have an option to show chunk boundaries, and one mod in FTB Infinity adds a hotkey to display them in the world itself (might be NEI but I'm not sure). FTB also...

Does the world anchor have enough range to cover whatever you're trying to access? For all we know your actual drives etc. could still be a thousand blocks away. Judging by your pictures the link breaks when you're in the End, so I suggest checking on your home side first. Specifically, ensure...

Some other grinders also work, I think by default the Portal Gun version is actually created via smelting the pearl. As for connection issues, make sure you have a chunkloader and a local power supply/storage on either side of the bridge.
