    Favorite and most hated machines?

    There's a direwolf20 server play season 3 video where someone makes a factory that can produce most basic (if not all) red power integrated redstone circuits on demand using only 1 craft packet maker, a stamper, a computer, a sortron and a reed->paper farm.

    Max configured Electrical Engine is 10MJ per tick. Heating the engines up to orange/red will decrease the time between each stroke, I'm not sure if energy per stroke is decreased or not when this happens.

    Gregtech on Normal?

    Warning - if you use wordpad, it will put in a host of markup language garbage that might break parts of the config file. Oddly enough notepad also has this issue. Use gvim or notepad++ to edit config files in windows.

    Automated Mining, RP2 vs BC vs Steve's Carts

    miners are the IC2 automatic mining system. They drill a hole straight down and then branch outwards to collect ores within a certain radius. You don't have to worry about excess cobble and the impact on the landscape is minimal. You will need IC2 pumps if you want it to deal with lava and water...

    Or build 4 of them and put them in a 5x5 configuration :D Gotta admit it looks cool with a crucible+ansibles in the middle.

    MJ power transfer and control

    I am somewhat confused, or maybe it's just that it's 6 AM and I haven't slept yet. If you have constant drain on an energy cell, should the engines not be turned on? If you have more engines than can charge the 100 MJ/t input you should always separate them out by cell.

    MJ power transfer and control

    You will need an iron AND/OR gate or higher on the energy storage device in order to send a red pipe wire signal to a basic gate on the engine. The configuration should be "If space in energy storage, red pipe signal on" for the gate on the storage cell. Then run a red wire to a basic gate on an...

    MJ power transfer and control

    It's not a bug. If the machines they are connected to fill up, then the power no longer has anywhere else to go. Once you let 1000 build up in a single pipe you get an explosion. In prior versions, extra power was just wasted. Now the pipe explodes. This is an intentional change to push people...

    MJ power transfer and control

    yep. They transmit all buildcraft MJ. There is currently a bug in red power that stops bluelectric engines from inputting energy to conduits, but you can use the pipe -> energy cell method on them.

    MJ power transfer and control

    Cobble pipes lose 1% of their MJ per pipe and explode when filled with a relatively small amount of MJ with nowhere to go. Cobble pipes cannot form loops without terrible things happening. Gold pipes lose 0.01% of their MJ per pipe and explode when filled with 1000 MJ each. Gold pipes cannot...

    :c I am somewhat ashamed at the community for giving you a hard time about your english. It is arrogant to assume that non-english speakers should learn a language perfectly to communicate on the internet. Your english is 100x better than my french.

    they go in order. You cannot switch the NUMBER of slots that must be filled but you can change where items go by changing what order they enter. It is the easiest to do this with a 3x3 setup. 123 456 789 so if you want a timer, then do wafer, stone wire, wafer, stone wire, pointer, stone...

    My least favourite? The thermionic fabricator. It produces a liquid that cannot be pumped, and while it allows for a 25% discount on diamond gears, all diamond fabrications must be completed almost instantaneously or else the liquid diamond is drained into some god forsaken place where I can't...

    Disabling the Java Plugin (Browsers)

    It would probably also be a good thing to note that using this fix will disable some minecraft tools like the browser nuclear reactor planner. The functionality of this particular site can be duplicated in a creative mode test world with a gregtech computer cube. If you want to have access to...

    U.S. Gov't advising PC users to disable Java - Attack

    +1 Wabbit I personally use linux, yes. With that in mind, an OS switch is a big thing for most people. Most people don't want to take apart their OS and switch to another one. They want to use the tool they are currently using, and proselytizing linux as some catch all fix for all of a user's...

    U.S. Gov't advising PC users to disable Java - Attack

    Education is key here. Most people who succumb to identity theft were never told and never learned about internet security in the first place. read up on SSL certification, secure your router settings, allow your user account only the rights it needs to do what you need, use different passwords...

    U.S. Gov't advising PC users to disable Java - Attack

    Or you could set up your system like a civilized person and separate out your root and user accounts. This vulnerability in java allows an unsigned applet to elevate its own rights to the rights of the user. It can be used for phishing and keylogging at the user level, but can only get deeply...

    Uses for massive amounts of cobblestone

    Cobble into crusher = gravel. Gravel into crusher = sand and around 1% chance of gold nugget with around 0.01% chance of diamond. Not a bad machine to have running on max input constantly.
