Nice. Question though. What do you use for stairs with this kind of design? Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

My most recent epic fail is reading the entire last page of this thread in the hopes that there might actually be another posting of an epic fail. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

Good point. As an example of this, I once did four 9x9's in a cube, but I put them 5 spaces apart with the hallways along the outer edges. This gave me lots of room to make longer runs of machines and chests along the outside edge. I was then left with a large open square in the middle so I...

Watch this guys videos. You will learn a lot and get inspired too: http://www.youtube.com/user/lynchyinc/videos

I am not aware of any way to request specific things through an ender chest (though someone else may have a way). I have heard of people setting up an ender chest to always have specific items in it and refill as they are used though. I have also heard of people setting up an ender chest that...

Sorry to bring this up again, but I just can't ignore such an atrocious failure to underst basic english alone. The OP actually specifically stated that this was a SHORT story. A short story is, by definition, a work of fiction: short story noun : an invented prose narrative shorter than...

You need to have a plan for what you want to do/build before you begin playing. The plan should also include a specific style of terrain and if necessary just keep loading random worlds over and over until you get it the terrain you need for your plan somewhere near your spawn. The issue is not...

Yeah, I figured it was just a simple brain-fart, as it is exactly the kind of minor mistake I make half the time when I try to do math on forums. :)

That is an awfully complex way of getting to the wrong answer. You can build on 63 levels, not 62. So you can fit 1008 ovens in a chunk. Your mistake was choosing a personal and arbitrary rule for floor heights that caused you to make a simple math error. Here is a very extreme example to...

It may be the most "efficient" use of the output, but it is far from the most efficient use of space or effort. You could fit 800 Coke ovens in 4 chunks, all auto-filled and emptied, with a tree farm to feed them and tanks and storage chests for everything to be stored in, and even the resulting...

At 1:1 there wouldn't be even close to enough height available to make even fairly small hills. Mountains would be entirely impossible. Also the render distance would be so short relative to the real world that you would never be able to see anything interesting anyway. For instance, I live in a...

As with most things, parallel processing is faster than serial processing. For pure speed choose whatever machine you want to use, then build lots of them. It is also fastest to make them non-specific. So don't setup one for Iron, one for Copper, one for Gold, etc. Instead just have them all...

I am far far from an expert, and there may be a better way, but I believe that one method is to use state cells and timers. The state cells and timers allow you to divide all aspects of the overall time of one operation (one operation being: 93 down, 93 up, move forward) into separate chunks...

Just put a quarry in the right biome, or build an appropriate mystcraft age and quarry that. Either one should get you quite a bit. Though I suppose it depends on what you are using the fertilizer for and how much you really need.

Apatite is too easy to get in mass quantities to make this worthwhile to me. But to each their own.

OR? Why not AND? I am currently running a Steve's Carts Tree Farm that fuels two HP boilers fueled with biofuel and one HP boiler fueled with planks, and I am just waiting for a massive backlog of planks before starting up another HP boiler to run off both charcoal (from sawdust) and planks...

Looks like someone else figured it a couple weeks ago.... At least the "hard" part anyway.

I would suggest applied energistics. It is surprisingly easy to set up. Watch direwolf20's season 5 videos on it, and any other tutorial or mod spotlights you can find. The basics though are controller, drive, import interface, access terminal, and some storage cells. That will get you started...

Actually, it wasn't hyperbole. Hyperbole requires intent, and the OP seriously believed they had one quadrillion cobble and didn't intend the statement as hyperbole, so it wasn't. It was a mistake, not hyperbole.

We aren't arguing. We are having fun discussing something so ridiculous it is actually genuinely interesting. Not everyone likes that kind of discussion, but some of us love looking at the numbers involved in a concept like this. We are also saying you definitely don't have a quadrillion cobble...
