    Mekanism: why BuildCraft support will not be included in 1.6

    See how you had to ADD things to make it make sense. That is exactly what I am talking about. He didn't say "one minor catch", he just proceeded to rail on the change without any explanation of how or why the change being implemented was suddenly going from wonderful to sucky in his opinion...

    Mekanism: why BuildCraft support will not be included in 1.6

    It also doesn't help that you said this: And then proceeded to bitch and moan about CJ and how horrible these changes are. Ummm.. How do you get from "wonderful improvements" to "CJ sucks, BC is dead to me"? If you were trying to be sarcastic.... Guess what, that doesn't work on the...

    Thoughts on MFR

    Xenophobia has nothing to do with racism or bigotry except in as much that excessively PC people have attempted to co-opt it to mean racism and bigotry. The reason for this is that you can't be racist against the unknown. Only after you know new kind of being can you hate them for their race...

    Thoughts on MFR

    I am exactly the opposite. The cart is tons more realistic to me. Modern farms use machines to plant and harvest crops. A cart planting and harvesting trees is far more similar to those machines and, as such, is far more realistic to me than a machine that apparently uses invisible lasers and...

    Solar Powered Matter Fabricator, I'm really proud of this!

    WTF? Absolutely everything you say after "a matter fab needs NO EU storage blocks... like... ever." proves precisely the opposite (or at least that it can really really really benefit from them while technically not needing them.) Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

    How to connect your Ender Chest to your ME Terminal

    Constructive criticism, please do not be offended.... You need to enunciate better. You are running your words together making it hard to understand you. Slow down, relax, and speak clearly. The subject matter is too simple and already covered well by others. Very few people are going to be...

    How to increase EU/t?

    EU is transmitted in discrete packets and loss caused by inferior cable is per packet. So if each thermal machine is outputting 24 EU/t then each tick your MFE is going to receive 12 packets of 24 EU - 1 EU per 2.5 lengths 2x insulated gold cable. The good news is that there is actually a...

    How to increase EU/t?

    Your problem should be solved by using better cables. You probably have a run of more than 12 gold wires. That is costing you at least 5 e/u per tick from each generator.. far more if the run is longer. Use glass fibre cables for stone or all of your cabling and you should be fine. Sent from...

    Automating Forestry Farms Items transfering

    Yup, separate AE systems is a good idea. It makes management easy on both sides and an ender chest is cheaper than multiple item tesseracts. Use import buses and export buses set to specific items to make sure everything moves the direction you want. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

    Do you like to hide your machinery behind the scenes?

    It depends on what I am building architecturally, but most of the time if I hid them I would have nothing to show anyone because in most of my buildings the machinery is the entire point. If I wasn't going to show it I may as well put the machinery in another age and just teleport the input and...

    Delay Limit on Autarchic Gates Output?

    Why don't you tell us what your actual goal is? I work in IT and people are constantly coming to me asking how to do some complex thing or another. Most of the time if I ask them what they are actually trying to accomplish it turns out there is a way simpler solution than the convoluted method...

    Do you feel that applied energetics can ruin some of the fun?

    This is easy enough already.... Fill all but the first 1 or 2 or 3 slots of a chest with something non-stacking like tree taps. Then set an export bus to put planks in the chest. It can only fit as many stacks as you left open so that is all that the chest will ever hold. There are then a...

    tree farms, what can be used?

    Direwolf20 covers how to set up a Steve's Carts tree farm in his Season 5 series. It works the same in Ultimate. I have one that runs 4 HP boilers, 2 liquid, 2 solid fueled, net positive on Biofuel and on Wood.

    Industrial-Scale Bee Breeding: Seed Oil Bottleneck?

    What you are doing here is roughly the equivalent of a company with a full parking lot doubling their number of employees then wondering why they don't have enough parking spaces for everyone anymore. And as with that situation you already know the answer... Increase production. Given that...

    [AE] Auto crafting sometimes not crafting?

    You say in your second paragraph that "The same thing happened...", but then go on to describe something entirely different than what you described in the first paragraph. It sounds like two independent issues to me. As to the battery thing.... Try clearing both your RE battery recipe and your...

    Pulling and Sorting Items from Quarry (enderchest)

    Yup, as Runo said, just add a buffer on the other side and you will be fine. There is one guy, berserkenstein1 is his name I think, who is pushing something like 25 million items per hour from 64 mining wells connected to 32 sending tesseracts through, IIRC, a single receiving tesseract. If...

    A Forum Game To Pass The Time! (Corrupt A Wish)

    Wish granted, but it always flies upside down 1 foot of the ground. And you can't fall off because you can't get off at all..... Ever. I wish I could teleport like in Jumper, but that I could make the holes as big as I like and make them last as long as I like, even permanent. Sent from my...

    BC conductive pipes are being changed...

    It is true there aren't typically massive plants in BC alone, but the capability is still there even with no other mods. More importantly though, please show me ONE person or server that uses BC alone as their only MJ using system. A mod designer with dozens of mods based on his mod needs to...

    AE and deep storage unit

    If you are already using AE it is pretty easy to set it up to auto-craft any size cell you want. And there are actually relatively few steps if you do them all at one time (I am in 1.4.7 so I have fabricators do them for me in the early game anyway, so that helps a lot for me). That being...
