    Self Sufficient Sapling Bio Farm

    Somewhat on topic...what's the best way to ensure that some saplings make it back into the farm, and the rest get sent to the fermenter? I was thinking about using a Manager or something but I'm not sure that would work.

    Favorite and most hated machines?

    Favorite: The entirely of Thermal Expansion. Awesome machines, awesome liquid pipes and conduit...pretty much overall just great. Least Favorite: Probably the Forestry Farms...mostly because, as someone else said, they are annoying to try and run autonomously. I always have to babysit them...

    What mods (do you think) should be added to DW20 pack?

    Logistics Pipes Advanced Machines (should be a standard part of IC2 IMO) Advanced Solars (GraviSuite without this is kinda silly)

    DW20 with Advanced Solars and Advanced Machines, minus Compact Solars.

    Am I the only one who likes the gregtech recipes?

    Yeah...I wasn't a huge fan of GregTech when I first saw it, and I'm still not the biggest fan, but after playing the DW20 pack for awhile, it does seem like you hit a point where you're rolling in resources and power...I haven't done a lot of actual building in terms of a nice looking base...

    How many blocks per second does a quarry mine?

    Not sure how this became about GregTech or Ars Magica, but as for the quarry...I don't think it's overpowered at all. It takes a LOT of consistent power to run it at a decent rate, and you also have to implement an entire system for sorting and dealing with the massive amount of junk resources...

    How many blocks per second does a quarry mine?

    Faster than my Sorting Machine can keep up with...lol. I typically run it with 4 magmatic engines...It'll take 6, but it's almost too fast.

    [32x] 1.5.2 Faithful FTB Unleashed, Direwolf20, Unhinged +More

    Also, I've noticed when you throw a snowball, the particle effects are sort of a purplish shimmering effect.

    Yay! I've been doing a lot of bee stuff lately so this is great.

    Iridium Ore or lack there of in DW20 pack

    Yeah, I have an Igneous Extruder piping cobble directly into my Recycler...it's free to do so once you get a bucket of lava and water each in there, no power cost.

    Iridium Ore or lack there of in DW20 pack

    The GraviSuit is just incredibly expensive in the first place...especially for tin and copper with those 60k coolers. It is freakin' AWESOME, though...especially with the Ultimate Solar Helmet (also expensive, and not really in the DW20 pack stock due to no Advanced Solars).

    Iridium Ore or lack there of in DW20 pack

    UU-Matter. There is no Iridium Ore in DW20 because (I believe) it's added by GregTech. If you don't know how to get UU-Matter...build a Mass Fabricator, give it tons of EU and then...wait. Add scrap from a Recycler to speed it up and use less power. Then, you take 7 UU-Matter and shape a...

    [Forestry] Bees breeding, where to look?

    Yes, there are End bees in vanilla Forestry. DW20 pack has them.

    [32x] 1.5.2 Faithful FTB Unleashed, Direwolf20, Unhinged +More

    No problem, I think it was changed in one of the more recent updates to include an extra slot, which is why it's kind of weird at the moment. Thanks for the quick work!

    Multiple Quartz Crystal IDs?

    Lol Sauron...think you mean Soaryn. ;)

    [32x] 1.5.2 Faithful FTB Unleashed, Direwolf20, Unhinged +More

    I don't know if this is a texture pack thing or what, but the Beealyzer overlay is all messed up. It doesn't line up anymore and I get weird underlines under some of the text.

    When 1.5 comes out..

    Yeah, it looks cleaner and more...translucent? Don't know how to describe it, but I agree with you.

    When 1.5 comes out..

    I know, what I said is that it *looks* like Marble. Like, the texture looks like RP2 marble a bit.

    Is energy from lava appropriate?

    Quarries take a lot of time and require a lot of power to run efficiently, though. Plus, you end up with a ton of junk resources in addition to the good stuff. If you have an automatic sorting system and Recycler/Mass Fab going, it's not an issue, but...yeah. Personally, I enjoy the "craft"...

    Is energy from lava appropriate?

    Though I don't want to see those things go, because I enjoy using them a whole lot, I have to agree with you.
