I'm using three routers and two tesseracts for this. No overflow ever and no RP2 lag. Router 1 is attached to my barrel network. It has an item filter set to pull oak logs, a machine filter (optional) set to barrels only, and an ejector upgrade dumping into a sending tesseract. The second...

IGN: MrZwij Age: 44 Modded Interests (what mods you like to play with): I like them all. I tend to play with a good mix of mods. I'm particularly fond of Factorization routers and barrels. Primary reason for joining: I'm looking for a fresh start. I feel like I've done about as much as I can on...

Awesome. I've been waiting to see somebody incorporate faith plates in a mob grinder. :)

What biome do you have your eye on for your permanent home? I had a long-time aversion to jungles, but finally settled down in one to build my "rebel base." I'm liking it - lots of opportunities to build the organic-looking structures I like to make. Edit: Sorry, I think I misunderstood the...

No disrespect, but what's missing is the ability for anyone to edit it, which is why the commercial FTB wiki has far surpassed it. And I'm guessing that's without a lot of very smart people who probably would edit the commercial wiki except for a feeling of betrayal or something. Seriously...

Sorting machines are exactly the thing to use IMO. I build with a partner; our sorting system is ~200 barrels, plus about 6 or 7 sorting machines, and it's easily expandable. Basic items are pumped by the initial sorting machines into a relay, which feeds 2 routers (probably overkill but we had...

And they won't teleport away from Tesla coils.

Yes, from any inventory in the "network." You can also pull from specific slots. To put the item into something else, you'll need an Ejector upgrade. Yes, with Item Filters (and possibly Machine Filters) No, don't think so. You can set a number of items in the item filter, but it doesn't seem to...

Is that the same as a brown note? :D

She must have, or neglected to include it. The visual gap you can see there also applies to the redstone signal unfortunately. It doesn't cross that space on its own - it has to be connected through something else.BTW: Energy cell is now full, and the engine is off:

This works fine: Blulectric power --> Blulectric Engine --> Wood conductive pipe with red pipe wire and iron gate or better --> Gold conductive pipe with red pipe wire and iron gate or better --> Redstone Energy Cell Gate on gold pipe set to: Can store energy, emit red pipe signal Gate on...

I've seen this done with a cage of iron fences at the top. Does that make any difference?

Cool. I've got parallel diesel generators and HP boilers running. Sounds like I need to move to strictly boilers and steam turbines (and automate my blast furnaces better).

Sounds like something is miswired (BTW, copper cable is your best choice in that scenario). Remember a batbox accepts power through all the faces that DON'T have a dot on them. A screenshot would probably help if that's not the problem. Copper loses 1 EU per 5 blocks - he'll lose a bit of...

Yeah, that's the solution I'm already using ... see first post. You don't happen to know how to automate the process of putting them in the tank, do you? Buildcraft's refinery won't do anything with the oil cells. Abdiel's solution for this works, but if you have recalcitrant admins, you can...

We use the MyTown mod, which is based on Townie. It lets everybody control who can use use/place/break/pick up stuff in their "towns", or even prevent people from entering at all. On the social engineering side, I strongly recommend voice chat ala Teamspeak. Text chat is terrible for those "I...

Wild guess: Stuck on "Building Terrain"? Try upgrading Optifine to C3 or later.

Wand of excavation FTW. I never leave home without one. And you can enchant them. :)

There's a much more detailed explanation of the quarry's power use here (assuming it's accurate. It's certainly well explained): http://minecraftbuildcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Quarry

That's huge. I saw the bituminous sludge recipe, but never followed it down the line to oil. I'll keep using the centrifuge on oil sands (I get 5X more oil), but I'm going to set up an assembly line for the crude oil tonight.
