if you plant a sapling, set up a chunkloader close to it. so you can do other things while it starts growing.

regarding cost effectiveness and environmental effects, the IC2 miner is an option. set up a bunch of these, supply them with energy and extract the goods from adjactant chests. and when they are done, fill them up with cobblestone or smoothstone from an igneous extruder, and the world looks...

one other thing, that no one mentioned in this thread: IC2 adds the teleporter. there are no teleporters in other technical mods in FTB... well besides the portal gun. okay, it is really energy consuming, and should not be used without a nuclear reactor (or hv-solar) on both ends, but it's the...

hmm, I watched a mod presentation on that: since dimensional doors have mystcraft compatibility, is it possible to have a linking book in the limbo? could be fun, a limbo base

something that could be considered fail: 1.) reading here about fails with wrath igniters. 2.) idea: let's test that 3.) go 200 blocks away from the base, cheat one in, and set a beach on fire (large biomes, even the beaches are large) 4.) wow, that beach covered in glass looks great...

I guess, a teslacoil will do it. although it just kills the wisp, it doesn't solve the problem with the wisp spawning.

I never used it, but there is this steves carts miner. and it can be equipped with a chunkloader module and so. the disadvantage is: after some distance, it runs out of rails. so, if you need your iron for something else, you can set up a wooden rail factory, which consumes less iron. but still...

suggestion for the other way round: a smartphone with an app, that accesses the computercraft-system from outside. and suddenly, you got a way to manage your whole base from your smartphone, while you are running around somewhere or while you are even offline... of course, it needs to be...

what are the differences? and do they keep monazit ore? I don't use MFFS (although I have some ideas), but the monazit ore is a great source for thorium

same question here. I'm currently waiting for the update to 1.5.1 or higher, because Greg added some weird funny things that compete with extrabees. IC2 has it's own farming system with a little plant breeding system. so he added new crops which are even capable of producing gems or ores...

true, that's why I wrote that the world should be explored. since (as far as I understand) nodes drain vis from other nearby nodes but after the mystcraft world is emptied, you can discard it and generate a new one. the only thing is: these generators and so, they are pretty expensive...

bauxite just spawns in forest biomes, you can mine out the whole ocean without finding any bauxite. the IC2-miners are fairly nice. set up 9 machines + the highest tier scanner, and you can quarry out a 27x27 block area with no surface damage. but you should do that somewhere, where you can...

really? since it just affects the single chunk that is loaded in this other mystcraft age... (never played ftb on a server)

hmm, I might have missed that in this thread, but there could be a fairly potent energy source: generate a new mystcraft age, that contains a lot of forest-biomes and so (plants)... explore it a bit, maybe plant tons of silverwood trees.. and then set up a magic energy absorber + some...

he plans single use lighters (something like matches or so), so a journey to the nether is still possible... or use another vanilla mechanic like lava, which ignites wood... EDIT: it's not a new machine, but the steam converter upgrade. means: hook up everything on steam instead of IC2...

I just read in the gregtech-thread (IC2-forum), that there'll be a new machine. a steam generator. greg posted a picture. (or it's just the standard generator, now able to consume steam through a liquiduct... giving the generator some meaning). and he changed a vanilla item. actually, he...

hmmm, clockwork engine. people already use the AE quartz grinder in combination with a turtle. the turtle just clicks onto the grinder, and it works. so a turtle combined with that engine... unlimited power... although tons of turtles clicking onto the engines would produce a lot of lag :)...

I guess, this would require that I know, where I can add a heat-value to Na. else the boiler doesn't know the burning speed... and of course I don't know it's liquid-id...

okay, I'll take a look over there. and for the chemistry-part: lithium and every other alkali metal (aswell as alkaline earth metals like calcium) react very rapid with water. sodium for example reacts similar to an explosion in water. exposed to air, they react with oxygen from air, and some...

is there a way to add fuels to a boiler? for example sodium to the liquid fuelled boiler, since the boiler is already capable of burning lithium, I'd like to add sodium aswell (both liquids are valid fuels for the semifluid generator). I've looked around in the configs of railcraft, but I did...
