Obsidian pipes > iron pipes > gold pipes with gate (redstone signal on inventory full) > deployer works too. Whee! You need about 6 because you can't be sure where the turret entity is going to fall.

The flux system bothers me a lot too in a server setting. I haven't really thought through the options on how to fix it, except that I really think there needs to be a way to repair flux. The iron bars work great BTW. You could totally set up a wisp farm with turrets. I've even been...

Thanks! Found it.

Yep, it works. It's one of the very last recipes (96 or 97 IIRC) you find if you click the Recipes area in the centrifuge UI. Not to mention I've already used many of these oil cans in-game. ;)

Looks like it's 16 blocks now by default :(. On that note, I can't find a config file for Portal Gun that has any meaningful options for turrets. The wiki says to look under /minecraft/mods/portalgun, but there's no such folder. There's a portalgun.cfg file in /minecraft/configs, but it...

OK, turrets are, uh, terrible. :D It appears that they take some time to target the wisps before firing, which the wisps perceive as an hostile act. So they zap the turret, killing it in one shot. The biggest problem with golems is that they're dumb. They sometimes stand there and take shot...

It's slow, tough and strong vs. nimble and weak. I built my test in a glass box, so the golem has a huge advantage (he usually two-shots wisps). They usually get a few licks in first though. It's cool to watch the golem tracking the free-flying wisps. They're safe up high, but if they dip too...

It's probably Optifine. Make sure you have 1.4.6 C3 or later.

To answer my own question, yes, this totally works. They fight it out. As DW20 would say, nice.

Has anyone tried the less-scary combination of iron golems and wisps? BTW, in the time I built my big underground rebel base on our server, never touching Thaumcraft, my flux went from minimal to HIGH. Gawd I hate incompetent Thaumcrafters.

Yep. And of course there are private packs, but those are crippled by the requirement to get permissions from mod makers who don't respond to permissions requests. I could go on a rant about it, but I'll just leave it at: It could be much better, and I wish it was. Heck, Mojang could go a long...

Ha, he'd probably tell me to do it myself (I'm an admin). But as much as I'd like to, I think we're going to stick to the major FTB releases to make any changes to our server. Too much headache to communicate the changes to the other players. It sounds like I'm stuck with my crappy method ...

I always look at the slag furnace, consider it, and pass. It just doesn't seem worth it to me to blow through all that extra fuel for a few more ingots. When I think about it though, it probably would speed things up a wee bit, if only to get more iron pickaxes so I can get the stuff I really...

They're in the newest Mindcrack pack (8.0.1).

I can't ... I'm playing on a server.

My HP boiler power runs on fuel currently, so I'm continually looking for ways to make more of that resource. I was clicking through the Industrial Centrifuge recipes and found that you can centrifuge 2 oil sands into 1 oil cell - cool! So I did it, then stuck the cells into a liquid...

Or another redstone energy cell at your quarry as a buffer, if you don't want the energy loss that comes with tesseracts.

That's the basic gate. Known as "Gate." :)

I've found several as well, but I agree with the OP. Making the programmer be a noncraftable item is a headscratcher decision.

It was probably Optifine. This problem seemed to have been fixed at some point soon after the 1.4.6 B6 version was released.
