I found a fairly optimal way to get a lot of quartz by mixing manual and auto mining. I generated a stable Mystcraft age then I set up a 6-wide Mining well frame machine and kicked it off. This got me a fair number of quartz, but more importantly it left a bunch of quartz visible on the two side...

We actually used to effectively have distributed power only as power loss made centralized power prohibitive. I think there is really no need to go back to that constrictive model. A model where you can CHOOSE when to centralize and decentralize is much more fun I think. Being forced to use one...

This is progress, but he is missing one thing that would really help..... He should make a cheap pipe, sandstone perhaps, which can move unlimited power any distance without loss. However, it should only take input from, and output to, diamond conductive pipes that have been upgraded in some...

You didn't originally describe what you wanted this for, so it was hard to judge. Overall AE is WAY easier to use, but yes, it is more complicated for very small things if that is all you need to use it for in that one single location. However, if you commit to it, or if you have more than a few...

How are you moving your quarries automatically? Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

I can't entirely argue there. It had its moments when it was great fun. However, we are talking about what to use in a world without it, and for most of what RP tubes did AE is way simpler and more effective. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

Pneumatic tubes simple??? First time I heard them called that. Pneumatic tubes require special machines, some of which require special power and/or timers to function in a useful manner, and most of which were quite complex to use with buttons with no clear purpose but which drastically...

Great idea, but won't you also need a way to clear the final chest after the new cell is in the system? Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

I don't know how item tubes work, but that is kind of how AE works. Anything on the network that requests an item gets it if it is available anywhere on the network, instantly, with no chance of rendering issues to cause problems. It is just wired teleportation. Power could, and really should...

The power system looks interesting. I don't know exactly how they are doing it all, but based on what I saw this is what I hope they are doing... Relatively cheap system for running above-ground power lines (if it is pricey nobody will want to do it of course). Multi-block transformers of...

My solution for Pistons before I have my full AE system implemented (and I make a LOT of them for my AE system) is to have a fabricator with the pattern in it, and a chest next to it with 4 stacks of cobble, 3 stacks of wood, and 1 stack of iron, which is enough for 64 pistons. Then whenever I...

You seem to be putting the cart before the horse. Use some other fuel source to power your stills and fermenters, build up a large supply of biofuel, then kick off the HP boiler. As soon as the boiler hits 100c start using MJ produced from the steam to power the stills and fermenters. Biofuel...

1. Because resources are infinite this is useful, but not necessary. Definitely a playstyle thing, and if going for early AE setup it might work against you to make the quartz grinder. But in general, this is usually a good idea. 2. One solution to this is to build four buildings that come...

That computer will run it just fine. Almost any modern computer with a discrete graphics card will. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

Warded Blocks are incredibly good for reactor containment, and they aren't to expensive either if you already have the research done or nearly done for them.

What original map? Two are mentioned in this thread. The first ones ratio is to small to be much fun unless playing single player. For the second, nobody is talking about changing the ratio. They are taking about updating it to the current format and extended biomes to make it more accurate to...

Go to your ftb folder, then to your current modpack folder (ultimate or whatever), go to the saves folder, and delete the NEI folder. Also, learn better google-fu. Had this the other day, only took 2 minutes to find the answer. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

Yeah, but even so, aesthetically stairs are pretty important. Also circles/spheres/arches just can't be made quite as well without stairs or micro-blocks.

Close Minecraft. Go to wherever your mod pack is located on your computer, open the saves folder, delete the folder named NEI. Launch Minecraft again and it should be fine. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
