http://ftbwiki.org/Matter_Fabricator the list is more or less complete. I saw that manganese dust is not on that list, but according to nei, it's a valid amplifier too (with the same value as scrap)

I guess, with quarry you mean the bc quarries. since you already have a plant farm, go for a fermenter + still from forestry and some combustion engines from buildcraft. that should be sufficient. you just need fertilizer (mulch or ash from peat, or make a trip to some high mountains and look...

stocking up the energy supply is a good idea. you can go nuclear too. iridium is an ingredient for the iridium neutron reflector. basically you get more energy out of your nuclear fuel... and the iridium neutron reflector doesn't receive damage. by the way: you don't need recyclers. there...

I guess, there are two different approaches. your approach and the one of a few other people here (including me). you: everything out there that is renewable can be used. others: you need to obtain the things in a renewable way and not the blocks that will be renewable later on. easy...

easy method of moving large quantities? raid a few mineshafts and set up a system with item loaders/unloaders from railcraft. the nice advantage, it's virtually lag free, since it's just one minecart, that runs around. the disadvantage: you need a coke oven to produce the creosote oil for the...

at 14:30 or so, you showed your treebreeding facility. and I noticed those large amounts of cinderpearl flowers around in the desert biome. is there a way to breed them too?

hmmm 1. set up a quarry at max size. let it remove one layer of the surface. 2. take water source blocks and fill the border with water. it should look like this (x = waterblock, 0 = nothing XXXXXXXXXXX X00000000000 X00000000000 X00000000000 X00000000000 the source blocks will...

but then it needs to be a renewable lava source. means: melt a cobblestone block from the igneous extruder. oops, netherrack and netherbrick aren't renewable, unless someone uses weird magic and transmutates it in... but there is still the vanilla cobblestone-gen. not as handy, but it works...

I guess, having a lava sourceblock which is constantly emitting flowing blocks and another block that eats away those flowing blocks isn't very lag friendly. as mentioned, the easiest (and fairly lag friendly) way are liquiducts filled with lava. another (no lava involved) way of lighting...

nice to know... thank you :)

I agree with that... large disks dedicated for a single bulk type. because I ran into a really stupid problem: no preformatted disks and they were fairly small ones: if one disk is full, and has as one of these items cobblestone, then the second disk would not take any cobblestone, even if...

actually, that surprises me I thought you use a frameship to harvest netherrack. a frameship that uses blockbreakers to cut through it's path and miners to harvest all the netherrack below. and the netherores are a nice extra...

okay, that explains a bit (I should look on the dates of postings). the only thing I currently don't agree with: with gregtech, sulfur is more or less trivial. pyrite ore, sphallerite ore, cinnabar ore and centrifuging netherrack dust give sulfur. even centrifuging redstone dust gives tons of...

there are nonn ball-shaped ships aswell:

but when perry rhodan was first released in 1961, there were no death stars around...

how about a spaceship from the largest and one of the oldest sci-fi series in the world: a spheric battleship from perry rhodan further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perry_Rhodan those spheres exist in various size, up to over 2km diameter.

you don't need the nether for netherrack. those surface dungeons from twilight forest contain netherrack (the fireplace next to the spawner), there is one block inside. and glowstone is even accessible in the overworld (these towers in villages contain glowstone). EDIT: on the other...

I turn it the other way round. gregtech adds a lot of machines, which raises the efficiency of ore processing and energyproduction, it follows IC2 in this manner. the price is added complexity and higher risks... everyone knows the tendency of gregtech machines to change their state quite...

the cooling system is expensive and eats tons of copper. but the quad thorium cell is nice and cheap. it just takes 4 thorium cells (4 tin) and 5 copper ingots to make one. but once the reactor is up and running, it produces a nice amount of energy. it's just working till the 1.5 (or 1.6)...

and the new mark I reactors are really good, matching with older casuc-designs (the ones with the ice). having a stable nuclear reactor that outputs 400 EU/t without any shuffling of cooling cells or heat vents is just nice. by the way, in 1.4.7, the plutonium-thorium designs still work...
