Kind of hard to give suggestions without knowing what it is you want accomplished. Many different ways around it, although most consist of using Items ducts or equivalent means of item transport in some way. ME interface + item duct, export bus + chest + itemduct. The items don't pop out, the...

I find the easiest method is using MFFS, Buildcraft mining wells, buildcraft gates, a TE tesseract and AE. No need for computer code, multiple enderchests, turtles etc etc. And functionally it is identical to what Dire did ( I believe). Mining wells output to AE interfaces, AE transition...

haha I didn't actually call TC nodes painful. I was just referring to the randomness, and exploration (both good things most of the time) associated with them. However I have had circumstances where there's only one node on a large island that has (in low quantity) the last aspect I desire...

Ah I had not thought of this. Does the compass still point to the chunk if the entire meteor had been removed? I realize even if it did, removing the entire meteor would kind of be a pain. So it's a nerf? As far as nerfs go I prefer this as it adds lore, and is better than simply mine until...

Kind of surprised by all the reactions here. Don't mean to offend anyone if I'm misinterpreting anyone, but from the sounds of it, a lot of people complaining about it before they've even tried it out (the RNG meteor loot that is). Compared with Thaumcraft nodes, Iridium, Railcraft Firestone...

First, I'm going to do exactly what you asked us not to because this is so easy. Max size HP steam is 3x3x4=36 HP boilers. 18 engines / 36 HP boilers = X Therefore X engines per boiler block. 2x2x2 = Y X*Y = the number you asked for.

Okay what else am I missing here? Multiple times now I've been unable to get middle nodes to connect to active runes on both side. With everything active it will connect to a rune on one side, and not the other. If I move an inactive rune to intercept the side that's linking, and break the...

I do love Gregtech. I think I would 'finish' minecraft way tooo quickly if not for the grind of GT, and really lose that sense of accomplishment. And while I won't play modded MC without GT anytime soon in the near future, I do wish some things were more suited for single player only. In...

I understand the "well I have 10k iron why not" approach, but I really don't see the point in >5 CPU's. This will craft a couple stacks of anything in no time. Not to mention the biggest bottleneck, is almost always your processing (furnaces, assembly machines, plate benders, grinders w/e)...

One time I got really bored near endgame and wanted to make my "perfect" layout in a totally new house. And I actually used Excel. This was a large mostly single floor building and I really wanted all the machines to fit in nicely without that cramped, inconvenient, or half-assed look which...

Of course it's a matter of opinion. But I whole heartedly agree. A stack of copper and tin isn't much when you consider the large amounts of wood and saplings that can be gained from even a medium sized multifarm with no upkeep. MFR may be ideal for farming small amounts of wheat or other food...

Perhaps using a ME dark cable with a level emitter set to output redstone (or stop outputting redstone signal, I forget which will cut stop the ME dark cable from working) signal when there is less than 1 or 2 silicon in system in combination with the regular export bus and level emitter set to...

There's a whole lotta right there. yup.

No different than AE's quartz knife. However I agree it really doesn't add anything to the game. I've got nothing against more steps, or adding realism or adding to the lore of the game, however plopping a tool in a GUI just doesn't make me feel like I "used a hammer on plates". I realize...

~7000 EU/t During day and maybe 200 MJ/t just for my Quarries. 8 x 36 HP solid boilers burning redwood logs from 2 Forestry multblock farms 1 x 36 HP liquid fueled boiler burning Biofuel from saplings, wheat, sugar cane, and Cacti from other multiblock farms 8 Nuclear Reactors producing...

Haha I've turned into the exact opposite. I used to 'like' math (as anyone who took math in a public school can *yawn*), then found practical uses, thought "hey I finally found a purpose for XXXXXX", then realized who cares, this is the real world, no one cares if you can triple integrate crap...

But for a breeder reactor (and I realize this is highly unlikey), what if your uranium cell and re-enriched cells deplete/generate simultaneously? I always thought there'd be the possibility of this happening and thus the possibility that the export buses would fill all the empty spots with...

Towards the end of the link, he shows a basic reactor that produces 2 new re-enriched every 25 seconds. Other than automating lap thingys for cooling, it would be pretty simple to automate as well. Really? It took me awhile to figure out that GT advanced regulators or buffers were needed to...

Admittedly I have always just used other peoples designs. I'm sure you could, however environmental effects to nearby machines may make it difficult to automate.

Yea I checked a random wiki and it says 25%, which is why I mentioned it results in 2 depleted instead of 8. Again I have no idea how net positive (uranium-wise) or if this system is entirely renewable. Once you have some sort of automated mining it doesn't really matter as I'm sure it's at...
