    Steam oven

    I don't know anything about the steam oven but I'm imagining it has a nine-spot inventory, and cooks all nine at once. What happens when you dump in 9 items, say by shift-clicking? Does it distribute them all evenly or put them them into a single slot? If it distributes them, a RP2 filter should...

    Sheldonite ore wont pulverize.

    Feel like I gotta ask ... you don't have something stuck in the "extra" output slot on the pulverizer, do you? Maybe something without a texture so it's invisible?

    Drop Pipe?

    The fastest way would be item tesseracts. The cheapest way is to drop them. The coolest way is magtubes. :)

    Problem Players get 30+ FPS drop at house

    Back in 1.2.5 days I found that the yellow box the quarry created (the guidelines for the frame) could cause massive FPS lag sometimes. I had to remove the quarry AND restart the server. Maybe that bug is still around?

    Router configuration problem.

    IIRC I had the same problem trying to presort them, and just ended up using six barrels. You can unify them by shift-clicking the ones you don't want onto the ones you do want. In other words, put a few of the "221" crystals in one inventory, and some "221:2" crystals in a different inventory...

    Flux help

    Cool, I'll try the second idea. I'm nowhere near having a nether star at this point ... Just remembered another weirdness - there's a barrow a couple hundred blocks from me with no evil node inside. I'm thinking the server owner regenerated the aura at some point.

    Flux help

    It's the former. When I log in to the server, my goggles of revealing show nothing. I have to go about 150 blocks get an aura reading, which is weird since I deliberately sited my base in a jungle near a large obsidian totem structure (there's no node there). When I travel to another node and...

    Flux help

    Here's a slightly off-topic question. For some reason my jungle base has zero aura. I have to travel or jump into a Mystcraft age to recharge my wands. What is happening to the aspects that escape when I make stuff in my crucibles?

    Router problems

    A machine filter on the router, set to barrels, is a must. To clear jams, a cheap solution is to stick a filter on the router, on a slow timer. It should grab anything that's in there too long (once in a great while grabbing something that should be sorted to a barrel). I personally like to...

    32x [32x] JohnSmith Technician's Remix

    I do indeed! Thanks. You guys do amazing work, and I feel lost and slightly nauseated when I don't have my JohnSmith. :cool:

    How do you feel about an Advanced Jetpack

    Yes. Anybody who has ever jumped off a nether fortress with a lappack on will appreciate this thing. Not that I've ever done that. No way. Never.

    How do you feel about an Advanced Jetpack

    It was one of the first things I built in my mid-game world once it became available. The recipe is fairly complex and expensive, but nowhere near gravisuit-complicated. What did I get? An energy meter added to the HUD to let me know how much power I have left. One extra inventory slot The...

    Boiler fuel overflow

    I think it's awesome (I truly do) that in the middle of two HP and one LP boilers, you'd feel the need for a separate engine to run a sawmill. A man after my own heart. :D

    My quarry is OP, where do I shove all my stone?

    Sheesh, isn't it early to start calling barrels "old fashioned"? We've only had the mod for like 4 months! ;) Kidding aside, a diamond pipe can handle anything a quarry can throw at it, which even at its max speed can't be much more than about 3 or 4 items per second. I'll go look after this...

    My quarry is OP, where do I shove all my stone?

    If we're talking about needing scrap boxes, I guess I figure that's not early game. Neither are quarries, actually. But let's go with that anyway. If you attach the diamond pipe to the quarry, there's no need for an engine - the quarry will just push stuff into the pipe. Voiding stuff is easy...

    My quarry is OP, where do I shove all my stone?

    The filter was set to a 2-second cycle IIRC. That seemed to be about the sweet spot, but if you have a big enough buffer, you could probably slow that down. Offloading all the cobble, dirt and gravel before then is really key though - it would bog down for sure if it had to deal with all that...

    My quarry is OP, where do I shove all my stone?

    A diamond pipe can handle the bulk stuff - dirt, cobble and gravel - as fast as you can feed it. Then you just have to deal with the rest. I used ender chest > filter > 6 sorting machines (side-by-side), each responsible for 40 item types, feeding into routers and barrels. A couple diamond...

    Item Tesseract with quarry

    I'd just throw a chest or buffer in at the receiving end. Tesseract > chest > sorting machine.

    My quarry is OP, where do I shove all my stone?

    There's too much of it to ever be used. I'd suggest collecting the amount you want and filtering the rest into a void pipe.
