    Nuclear Energy

    Not sure why breeder reactors aren't mentioned. I initially had 3 breeder reactors and one higher energy output reactor and creating a fairly large positive net for uranium cells. Everything automated with AE and a few gregtech regulators for the breeders, and I pretty much can set and forget...

    Better ore distribution with FTB

    I've never tried, but from the sounds of it (and with a little tinkering with the configs), something similar to what you described might be achievable by editing the thermal expansion config file. TE deals with most of the ore gen (correct me if I'm wrong), and reducing the spawn rate...

    GregTech question

    Re-read my post, you literally did exactly what I said isn't worth arguing over. Trying to rationalize mod requirements or methods based on reality DOESN'T WORK and is fruitless. Saying TE makes sense is ridiculous. Why does it need to be liquid in there in the first place? How is the use of...

    GregTech question

    Not trying to argue here, but how can you say that TE's situation is understandable and Gregtech's isn't? The argument or logic of "well there's liquid ender or redstone in the tesseracts/conduits so you should need a liquid transposer" is moot, I could say "well all machines made of metal use...

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    All I've ever played is single player other than a couple times over LAN. I would definitely like to join up with other players with similar play styles to myself (or not really, thats what makes things interesting), the only thing that really worries me is griefing and making sure the server is...

    Thermal Generators

    Insufficient Lava supply? Energy storage full? How far is your energy running (even though with glass fiber this should be moot). Might be useful to place a HV transformer right after your generators to upstep your energy to HV, thus reducing the loss (I believe thats how packets work).

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    haha bad joke I suppose. Thank you. It's all construction foam from IC2. Most of it placed using the sprayer/CF pellet backpack, then died using bonemeal on a painter. I don't see many people using it, and while it can be a pain to use at times, in my opinion it gives the cleanest, simplest...

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    In that case, you should know that I based the design off of my real life bedroom:cool:. (except not at all) I really wish redpower lights output more light, so I wouldn't have to use the wrath lamps. Thanks for all the kind comments.

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    Tell me what you think. Outside: Entrance: Nuclear and Thermal Gen: Rest of Main floor: Basement: Top Floor: Aaaaand the Quarry Machine: Single player, steam enabled for Nukes (hence the 22 steam turbines). 2 large multifarms harvesting Redwood (can bebe seen in top floor...

    Help for a futuristic building design ( Aesthetics Help )

    Personally, for a futuristic look, nothing beats construction foam. I have Redpower lamps everywhere with white and gray construction foam covering all walls, floor, and ceiling, with silver microblock accents here and there, I think it looks about as clean as it gets.

    GregTech Machine Upgrades?

    Can place Overclockers (O), Energy storage (B for battery I assume?), transformer (T), and an upgrade that allows machines to run off of MJ (M) instead of EU by right clicking the machine with the upgrade in your hand. I don't know how to remove the upgrades, but you can view what upgrades a...

    Run a HP boiler for Hours or even days with 0 automation of fueling!!

    The argument " Just use automation" cuts both ways. With AE and 5 solid fuel boilers, during the initial warmup (and maybe even after) the boilers consume planks so quickly that my AE system was actually drawing more (or at least close to as much) energy to feed the items into the boilers, than...

    Power Converters complaining thread

    Different strokes. As others have said there's rarely ever a problem with having too many options (forget the ignorant). If you don't like them, don't use them. This has come up so many times it's ridiculous. Some people like intricacy and challenge, some don't see the point. That's why...

    Issues with my peat farm

    I realize this. That's why I said it was a bug. It was running fine for DOZENS of hours off of one Aqua Accum.. Then after updating Ultimate to 1.02, the first time I check it I find there to be an infinite water sink. I rebuilt it several times and every time after placing the first watersource...

    Issues with my peat farm

    I can't speak for DW pack but after updating to Ultimate 1.02, me and some others have encountered bugs involving Forestry Multiblock Peat Farms consuming incredibly large amounts of water. I had a medium sized multifarm (I assume that's what you're using, if not then ignore this post entirely)...

    Gregtech Industrial Grinders vs. Upgraded Rotay Macerator

    With the new 1.02 update to Ultimate, you can upgrade Gregtech machines as well using Overclockers, Transformer, Energy Storage upgrades. I haven't been able to get more than one overclocker into any of the Gregtech machines thus far mostly due to the const. energy demand problem, but I suspect...
