    Forestry 1.7

    Not sure if the public versions of extrabees work with the new forestry. A crash-report would be a nice idea, maybe extrabees added a new item, which just creates an ID-Conflict.

    Endless Dirt?

    Well if you have a tree farm you will have tons of sapplings anyway. They can also be used for plantballs and be macerates back into dirt.

    How do you break a dimensionally upgraded barrel?

    Well you can break them normally to receive a barrel and the upgrade. I'm not sure what will happen with all the stacks, I guess they will spill out, so you could try it a server should be able to handle some stacks for a short while or just empty the barrel before. But the upgrade is not lost...

    Today, I learned...

    The Energy-Cell is no addition to BC :P Also you can't replace a Liquid-Transposer with a dispenser. The Liquid-Transposer can do far more things than filling buckets or cells. It can empty cells, which can no other machine do (well some GregMachines can empty them, like Gregs Thermal...

    Going nuts here... Macerator with Mindcrack 1.4.6???

    Well with TE you can also use Igneous Extruders for Obsidian, but definitly you do not require a Diamond-Pick for it. Also GregTech has improved a lot now, also thanks to TE. TE implemented ferrous Ore, which gets Shiny Dust rarely by Pulverizing. Shiny Dust is the same as Platinum Dust and...

    How Do I Power A Industrial Centrifuge? (Mindcrack Pack 1.4.6)

    Greg tries to resemble real chemistry as much as possible. With a centrifuge it is possible to filter materials of different density. So if your tin has some parts of iron and zinc inside you can filter them out with the centrifuge (although you normally would keep the tin, but in that case...

    Bad Thaumcraft Nodes

    Well I think you could also move the dark node away, since you might want it for a whisp-farm. I haven't found a dark node yet, but I want to try setting up tesla-coils around to kill the whisps or maybe a forcefield :P

    Pulverizer is better than Macerator In GregTec

    Oh... well it depends. I think you can use more. Depending on your config. My Stack-Size is 2 so I can't use a lot of them since I normally reserve a slot for transformer-upgrades (so technically I could do 6, since I do not need the storage although it is nice) . I think the default one is 4 so...

    Portal gun insane recipe

    To be honest the easiest solution would have been giving the portal gun and the long-fall boots durability. Although the Portal Gun is a way better motivation to kill the Wither than a beacon...

    will world edit or mcedit work on FTB

    Well MCEdit does not play very well with some of the mods. Moving Pipes isn't exactly hard since they are normal blocks, moving pipes with items inside them would be more tricky. Also I can only guess that it will have problems with RP2 and some of the Multiblocks. So some things might work but...

    Pulverizer is better than Macerator In GregTec

    Well... you need to do some comparisons between IC2 and TE and you need to include the Pack. Without GregTech the Macerator is pretty similar to the Pulverizer, although it has two large advantages. 1. The Macerator is either a lot faster thanks to overclockers or it uses way less energy. 2...

    {Direwolf20 Mod pack} How did you solve your EU/MJ needs?

    Well Lemming said that 6 is the maximum that is efficient, if you use more they may run dry if they have to do constant work (you can power a lot more if you ensure that they can recover, because there energy is not required permanently) like for a quarry. The Geothermal still works the same...

    {Direwolf20 Mod pack} How did you solve your EU/MJ needs?

    You should remember that TE nerfed the Crucible so I didn't notice it, since I used an older config and he didn't force an update, my Value was 5.000 (I increased it from 4.000) and the new Value is 8.000 MJ for a Block of Netherrack to melt into Lava. Even then you still have about 10.000 EU...

    EE3 is already broken!

    Well these recipies aren't really necessary in the first place. Making bones out of bonemeal? Making blaze-rods out of blazepowder? Why would you want to do that. So the downside is that the transmutation recipies are balanced around the most efficient process to gain that ressource, which makes...

    Is there a config for the squeezer?

    I normally go for Wheat-Farms since it is a nice multiple-purpose farm :P But yes Pumpkins and Melons provide lots of Seeds with ease. But wheat can be turned into biofuel and hence is self-sustaining^^.

    Sorting system comparisons

    Well the problem still is 5 items in pipes is better than 500 items in pipes. I did the test in 1.2.5 and will propably test it now again (I did the test for 1.4.5, but I have no Redpower for that version). And LP badly lose to Redpower in terms of performance. I guess you won't reach the point...

    Mystcraft is extremely OP to a game breaking degree.

    Well if the discussion was ended in the first post, and he already knew the valid arguments why his basic assumptions are wrong... why bother posting? Mystcraft basically is a fun thing for Singleplayer in which case the only person screwing yourself is yourself and in SMP Mystcraft is a...

    Red Power 2 News

    Slow lied :p First slow was saying "not until after" which excludes the 21st and second for some the release was propably even on the 20th :p I think slow did not expect it to happen that fast, but thanks to him and some people donating to eloraam we got a release before the world ends :p

    QuickTips #1: IC2 Energy - will it blow?

    Nope you can't transform LV directly into HV, with the LV-Transformer since it only outputs 128 EU/packet. But technically you can transform LV directly into HV with an MV-Transformer. But not sure I have never tried it.

    GregTech

    It is a self-powering magma-production-facility for powering Geothermals. If you use a Magma-Crucible with a Geothermal and a Magma-Engine it is enough to feed the crucible endlessly :p And on the other side it looks pretty cool :p To be honest I disliked the 1.4.2-version too and suggested...
