    Not able to make the wand of the adept?

    on that note, am I right in saying that it only infuses ores once you have 100 extra vis in the aura? so you would need 1000 aura to overcharge 10% to 1100 in order to start infusing stone?

    Not able to make the wand of the adept?

    yup. 1 wand to channel the power, 1 wand to transform, a source of the aspects, and the raw materials to infuse. later on you can have a stupid high tier wand in the table and just use apprentice wands to make ice/lightning/excavation/fire/exchange. In that sense, the 2 wands does make sense.

    I've found the fabled holy Planks of Sengir...

    my EE2 world did not spawn an end properly. no dragon, no endermans, no land - just portal. So I brought in a single T1 condenser and a trans tablet and made it me new home. Had a red power factory, 2 nuclear reactors, and farms for the express purpose of brewing beer. There was a frame machine...

    I'm Obviously Doing BC Power Wrong. How can I improve?

    +1 evil hamster. CPW and the buildcraft guys do NOT want a fire and forget system of buildcraft energy management in the early game. They deliberately balanced the pipes so that you'd have to manually turn the power on and off when you started. Later on when you have the diamonds for an...

    Just wondering...

    also, for how to get so many resources. Save your xp from mining and try to get an enchantment table as soon as possible. Research making thaumium in thaumcraft - should be after getting nitor, alumentum, and the gold transmutation. 30 levels in a thaumium pickaxe will probably net fortune...

    Just wondering...

    use a filler to replace the top layer of the quarried land with dirt. Get a turtle to bonemeal the entire place up once you have grass. Run around randomly planting saplings. 64x64 meadow ready for your frolicking :D

    no redstone ore

    redstone spawns below layer 16. it is around 100x as frequent as diamond. try a wider quarry? If you run a 64x64 to bedrock and find no redstone something is either terribly wrong or you have the worst spawn seed in history.

    Portable Tank Lava Into Piping?

    yes. liquiducts work on bc tanks, iron tanks, portable tanks, forestry inventories, gregtech centrifuges, and anything else that uses the forge liquid registry. the liquiduct must come out of the bottom of the portable tank and lead into the valve of the iron tank. The liquiduct must be set to...

    Need help automating a peat farm.

    my favorite non-red power solution for this is a small railcraft loop. Item loaders can choose to only remove buckets from an inventory, load them into a chest cart and then an unloader can take from the chest cart and throw into a liquid transposer. Then you can load from the transposer back...

    Measure MJ/Conductive Pipes

    I have just run the test with 49 gold pipes and 1 wooden pipe vs 50 conduits results are: 5% energy loss with conduits and 22% energy loss with pipes. Energy transfer of 1 full cell to 1 empty empty cell was done at 100 MJ/t in the conduit and done at around 20 MJ/t in the conductive pipes...

    [SOLVED] Hobbyist's Steam engine not in pack? Help!

    am currently using mindcrack and it definitely is in this pack. You must craft the entire thing on a train workbench, for which recipes in NEI do not show. first 4 coal in a square to get traincraft coal dust. Do this twice then 8 coal dust around 1 clay to get 8 graphite then 3 iron ingots...

    [SOLVED] Hobbyist's Steam engine not in pack? Help!

    railcraft: -6 wood planks in the form of 12 slabs of wood -4 bottles of creosote oil (a free byproduct of doubling coal or creating charcoal at no cost beyond the sand and clay for the coke oven) -2.25 iron ingots and 2.25 coal in the form of 2 steel ingots used to make 6 rails in a rolling...

    Power generation IC2/GT

    hehe... my bases eu production is roundabout, but at least fun and interesting to build. Enderchest oil pumping stations to keep an in-house refinery constantly going at all times. Blulectric engine powered by 6 wind turbines and 21 solar panels nets around 10MJ/tick average. This renewable MJ...

    Orbital Shoop Corp Mothership. [DEAD]

    it might save time (if you have an energy cube handy) to set up a buildcraft filler to make a square inside your structure. or just use the filler on the entire thing and cut out the round bits again with a mining laser... hmm...

    Orbital Shoop Corp Mothership. [DEAD]

    <3 building in the sky and <3 building round structures. You sir are awesome. I question your choice of sandstone as a building material though. Tin and copper are renewable, and that thing could very easily be a frame machine :3 EDIT: would need 24 frame motors on wireless redstone tho...
