each boiler block is capable of 20 steam/tick. with 36 blocks, that equals 720 steam/tick. they don't mean every square of the boiler surface. and 5 liquiducts are (as far as I read it) sufficient to extract all the steam available.

the "easiest" solution is: one central config, where all mods which add power conversion abilities have access to, and let modpack creators do the balancing. because modpack distributors know their modpack, whereas modders would need to know all other mods that could be possible used in...

without AE, you could take a look on xycrafts autocrafting table. it's not as convenient as AE, but there are some neat features. it wont be a fully automated system as with AE, but it automatically crafts needed items. and programming it is fairly simple. set up the table, open the GUI, open...

and item tesseracts + lapos, lithium batteries or so. or just send fuel (not biofuel) per liquid tesseract to a diesel generator.

you all know: "never mine the block you are standing on". there is another version of this: never stand on the block, your own quarry is going to mine, especially if you are examining a lava lake that your quarry found... I realized that it was a bad idea seconds before the quarry removed...

good to know, that AE is even capable of turning on machines. I wasn't aware of that :)

I currently have a really small storage system based on AE, just a controller, a interface and a drive bay next to each other, supplied by a standard combustion engine. but AE has a really nice feature, that it can access any machine connected to it, completely irrelevant from which mod. and...

this base looks great. my last base was a floating large stone block with 3 floors in a mystcraft voidworld (with the nice extra that it had obsidian obelisks). while reading on the first page, I thought, I should note, that with GT-3, GT-machines tend to explode when being exposed to open...

you could also use RC-tanks for that. stack a few RC-tanks on top of each other and connect them, so they act as one even larger tank. and then dran the tanks from every floor (the lowest level of valves). but with XYcraft-tanks, it's more elegant and even more compact, since it is just one tank.

I just looked at this mod-spotlight of direwolf20, and the xycraft tanks. this height-depending valve blocks are a neat thing for boilers. imagine this: a boiler runs at full temperature, feeding steam into one tank (or even some conjoined tanks). the top plate is used as inlet for the...

I never used railcraft heavily, but there are a few things, which (in combination with extra recipes) are really neat. one point are those wooden rails, which (with some work in the base) could lead to a mostly self-sustaining railcraft-stevescart-mine. and the addition, that rails can be made...

he already added an upgrade for his machines, which enables his machines to consume MJ instead of EU. so... with some overclockers, these machines would eat away every power they get.

enderpearls to saltpeter is a bad idea, although some highly advanced machines require beryllium, and nitrogen would be a side product. go for soulsand or crackedsand instead. crackedsand to saltpeter is a bit hard to automate, because of that damn fuel can but it turns nearly all crackedsand...

if you have liquid storage problems and the area where you build things is a bit crowded, take a look at the quantum tank. it stores 2 million buckets in just a single block. but it's quite expensive and requires a lot of gt-infrastructure (like an ind. blast furnace with more than 1700 heat...

okay, I need to take a closer look on beeswax, since I already stole the apiaries from a few villages :) but liquiducts work very well too, although it's a bit energy costing, that I melt netherrack by using biofuel... but it works

at least you have a desert. I made the mistake that I've enabled large biomes. okay every biome is at least 1000x1000 blocks large. and with extra biomes XL, it takes a while to find a desert (I did not find one so far). actually I found a way to get cactusgreen for waterproof pipes, but it's...

did you ever try crafting a mystcraft linking book in an auto crafter? would it link to the place where the player is, or where the autocrafting-system is. would be neat, if the player can request linking books that link to a certain spot in the base... in the case, that the player really...

good idea or just use the quicksilver in the canning machine to get mercury cells for the ind. grinder :)

currently, I have an excess on dirt (first quarry) and I just centrifuge dirt, compress the plantball, put it together with the other compressed plantball into the fermenter + still... and I get a nice amount of power :) and then, I power a magma crucible and melt netherrack into lava, and run...

but the oilfabricator-boiler loop can be stopped easily by setting the needed energy to create one bucket of oil to the value of one buckeet of fuel burnt in a 36-boiler at max temperature. the problem with this loop is, that it needs just a few components (although 2 of them are quite...
