    Wheat Harvester?

    No setup needed on the golems...just let them rip. You have to be sure to keep the field isolated from other fields or the straw golem will wander off harvesting everything it can...everywhere. Note...if you have to pick them up and move them pick the wood golem up first or he'll snag the straw...

    Pumping liquids faster

    You can pump from the bottom if I'm not mistaken (been awhile since I've done oil). It takes a brave adventurer but you can scuba to the bottom, dig out a breathing nook from the wall or floor and put your cell-pump-tesseract there such that the pump shaft extends a short distance to the bottom...

    Can someone recommend me a good BuildCraft energy setup?

    For the very beginning hobbyist steam engines are great. You can handle all your smelting with a pair of hobbyists and a couple hoppers. Note you'll need to feed water into these as well: Aqueous Accumulator with a couple water source blocks to feed it. Pulverizer feeds into hopper of Powered...

    Crafting recipes that you hate

    Anything I don't have a project table plan in place for that I end up using over and over. I love circuits because so many GT recipes let you bypass them: IN YO FACE circuits! I have Autarchic Gates and Pulsating Chipsets! I smile at the circuit project table every time I neglect it :)

    Bee Homes

    If pixelart(true) dynamite(true) end I can't imagine designing a building when it'll be used as a billboard. But if you post pics maybe people will have ideas?

    Magmatic Engine Troubles

    redstone signals? I've done that many times with these esp. having liquiducts / conduits near each other and tanks. Also worth checking conduit direction arrows in case.

    Thanks SunVenus. I've messaged you with my IGN.

    Best lagfree sorting system? Pipes vs Tubes

    The way I handle this is to void cobble/dirt/gravel at the source. This means there are periods where the filter can work down any buildup in the input chest easily. If you are sucking cobble or any other large-scale source then you can add a second filter set to only pull that item, or...

    Whitelist Server Mindcrack 8.2.0|+Mystcraft|-Some Extra Biomes|Whitelist|Hardmode

    Greetings. I'm interested in joining up with you on your server, which sounds great. Your specs look almost exactly how I setup for single player (limit a few of the repetitive biomes, hard mode, etc..). I'm a big Mindcrack fan and have been playing MC for about 2 years. I'm older (>30 by a...

    How do YOU power your quarry?

    Resisted using any lava power till now but Xycraft tanks are so easy and cheap that I made a max sized one, filled it with lava using a RS energy cell-->Pump-->Tesseract (channel..."Lava!"), and use another liquid tesseract pair to send lava over the airwaves to a quarry powered by 8 magmatic...

    Best way to auto-build walls?

    Use the filler with a 1-wide "room" for the walls? You'd have to do it per wall though. Another option would be to use the cuboid filler setting in such a way that it gets 2 walls at once, then use it again on "clear" to remove extra walls. And yes, you could do it with turtles too...

    Auto quarry setup.

    I think good ender-chest use will have you only requiring a few slots at most because you use it to transit items, not store them. Put a filter on the receiving end with a timer and it'll pull fast enough for almost any operation. All you need to build that is sand, coal, redstone, a diamond...

    Best lagfree sorting system? Pipes vs Tubes

    To address the lag issue, it is good to consider this early and either do testing or be prepared to move sections of your processing system to other chunks / dimensions / etc.. when it becomes an issue. Apparently on decently fast machines lag from sorting isn't much of an issue but if you...

    Bees not happy?

    Wild theory. Haven't played with bees in some time: Is it possible that it hasn't rained in awhile? Bees are part of forestry and forestry farms are now sensitive to the amount of rain / time so theoretically bees could be as well....

    Enderman Spawner Drop Fail

    I think they get a chance to teleport right after spawning so they will teleport if spawned in sunlight. Otherwise I don't believe endermen can teleport in mid-air as you get 100% kill rates at night or indoors. So yeah, roof, night, or alternate kill method.

    What happened to advanced solars cost?

    I thought the post earlier suggesting that people don't want to think about where their electricity comes from was quite interesting. It's true. When I boot my computer I don't want to have to think something like "Did I shovel the manure and put it in the hopper for the biofuel generator and...
