mmm teh sexeh tubes! don't forget the awe inspiring 32 MJ/tick bluelectric engines.

on the steam engine debate - All railcraft steam engines have the same steam to power ratio - 5 steam 1 MJ. It doesn't matter if you're using hobbyist, commercial or industrial. The only thing that would make you want to disassemble your hobbyist engine is centralizing all your power by putting...

the liquid transposer allows you to fill any container with any liquid being pumped into it the aqueous accumulator slowly and automatically fills up with water forever. It fills very very quickly if you put 2 water source blocks next to (but not underneath) it. Water does not need to be drawn...

I was considering doing that, but they make silky propolis at a lower rate than industrious, diligent, or unweary create propolis without taking genetics into account (only 80% chance of propolis per comb instead of 100) This factory runs slow enough as is without only a % chance of a key...

Hmm... turns out that railcraft loaders cannot handle bees very well... will have to make some edits. EDIT: Finished the system, it outputs bituminous peat forever. Just have to tweak the peat bog output so that the boiler is always going.

<3 railcraft for 3 reasons 1) loaders and unloaders can be told to keep inventories supplied with X amount of 9 different items (exact recipes), told to transfer up to X items per pass (exact distribution ratios), and told to dump everything EXCEPT X amount of 9 different items (overflow...

It's just that the wheat farms, tree farm, squeezer and mulchers were all for the impregnated sticks. If you take out all of those you save quite a few ingots of bronze as well as a few diamonds. Then you just need alveary, bucket filler, autocrafter and some peat bogs.

Well how about that... they don't! I guess I could just burn the extra wood into charcoal and have the tank of seed oil just constantly fill for other uses... Or I could go for the much cheaper apiaries with auto-supplied frames. This is meant only for bees of the industrious bloodline for...

not dead :D Continuing on the bituminous peat factory, so far the only thing I've had to void pipe is sand. Currently outputs mulch, seed oil, mossy cobble, peat, saplings, wood, dirt, sand, impregnated sticks. plan to next get a wool farm going (going to probably need a turtle or just a sheep...

tbh the easiest way in my opinion is to just have 1 rail take everything from the chest and use 1 unloader/barrel each to drop each item off where it's supposed to go. Alternately you could use chests to hold item types. I will post this after the bituminous peat I think.

srry count from 0, it's 15 MJ/t total, not 15 MJ/t each. An industrial steam engine supplies between 0 and 8 MJ/t depending on how much steam it has. 3 engines off 1 duct give 5 MJ/t each. 2 engines give 8 each.

Working on the bituminous peat right now. bees of the industrious bloodline are required, so I am going to make a bee test world and just try to breed most of them. Creative/NEI cannot give you specific bloodline'd bees

Hmm... I did a similar thing using peat bogs as the dirt generator rather than macerators. Peat bogs take 4/9 sand, 4/9 dirt and 1/9 mulch and output 8 peat and 8 dirt OR 4/9 sand, 4/9 dirt and 1 water bucket to output 6 peat and 6 dirt. Either way it turns sand into dirt. Sand I got from an...

Note that a more efficient fuel will only increase the range of your cart between filling stations. Ye may want to try a turtle which plonks down ender chests and connects them to buffer chests and filling stations, then sets that as the new home and keeps going from there. Stevescarts could...

The answer is 2. 3 industrial steam engines equalize around 15MJ/t off 1 liquiduct. 2 run at the max 16 MJ/t so liquiducts are 2x as good as golden waterproof when dealing with steam.

ps: on the bituminous peat, did you want routers to be the most utilized sorting method? rails, pipes, golems? did you want it as cheap as possible even at an efficiency hit? as efficient as possible but expensive? etc

Almost everything that forestry creates can be turned into fuel. I would recommend fermenters, stills, and furnaces to turn spare wood and byproducts into charcoal and biomass/biofuel. use the charcoal for turtles and the biomass/fuel for boilers. Eventually you should be able to create an...

i'll have to experiment with exactly how many industrial steam engines a single liquiduct will supply.

for extra steampunk goodness, instead of placing your industrial steam engines right next to your boiler, route the steam with golden waterproof pipes. Soon you will have pipes EVERYWHERE :D messy, but good for a sort of chaotic steampunk aesthetic. I remember my first steam powered factory...

lol. Railcraft (for me) is the closest thing to replacing red power's accuracy and control at around the same tech level in the game (routers and such can also work, but those need ender pearls) also, there is a fair bit of buildcraft piping in that system. I could (i suppose) run advanced...
