So, you want an answer? Here's my answer. Yes, autocrafting with non-stackable items is still a pain. It's my one big annoyance with LP. I've never had an issue with the rolling machine - perhaps you're not using the crafting pipe mk III? Storage? Yeah, AE is more compact. That being said...

Nerfs? Let's see... BC fillers no longer drop items (well, they do, but they despawn so quickly...) BC Builder flat-out doesn't work. (Some may say not a nerf, but it has the same effect) IC2 nuclear reactor changes (at this point it's cheaper and easier to just use geothermal generators) IC2...

Umm... Turn those 6 planks into scaffolding. 3 wood + sawmill + 3 smelts -> 64 scaffolds + 3 charcoal = 52000 EU / 3 wood = 17333.3... EU / wood ignoring sawmill / furnace cost. Subtracting the 0.2k EU you quote (I think it's a little high, but ok), that's ~15333 EU / wood, as opposed to...

This. For that matter, I have no idea why in the base game it doesn't grow crops based on the time since the chunk was last loaded.

Well, seeing as AE can autocraft from a Logistics pipes network, plunk down a crafting pipe and a satellite pipe, and do it that way. 2 blocks.

Not necessarily. I've got a Toshiba Satellite S855-01K (~$750 + tax), and it runs FT Unleashed on full graphics at ~45FPS. I tend to kick it down to normal and get 60 with Vsync, though. You have to find a laptop with a decent processor and discrete graphics, though, which can take some hunting.

My thoughts on the quarry: OP doesn't make sense in a game where everyone has access to the same things and materials are limitless. That being said, is the quarry better than other alternatives? No, actually. Compared to a frame bore, or even a couple mining turtles, it's actually pretty...

Don't forget the bonus from running the logs through a sawmill!

So then you spend steel on converting EU to EU? Seems less than ideal.

With unleashed (and any other pack without GregTedium) the best way to burn wood is scaffolding.

And do what with the steam? Waste it?

Mainly the accidental shutoffs. I've had boilers shut off a few times due to weird chunkloading / server crashes / etc. And then it's a lot of fuel / etc. to restart it. It also means that it isn't useful for on-demand energy conversion.

No, there's no way to add a recipe without using client-side code. There should be, but there isn't.

Yeah, it's rather high, isn't it? Math: A 36m^3 HP boiler uses ((6.4 - 36 * 0.08) / 8 * 36 = 15.84 fuel units / tick. Fuel is 96000 units. This means a bucket of fuel burns for 6060.60... ticks. It also produces 20*36 = 720 steam per tick. This works out to 4363636.63... steam per fuel. 5...

EU -> MJ? Electric engine, preferably with upgrades (~0.33 MJ/EU stock, ~0.29 with boost, or 0.4 with choke) Oil Fabricator -> Refinery -> Combustion engine (~0.39 MJ / EU) Oil Fabricator -> Refinery -> Railcraft boiler -> Steam engine (~0.58 MJ/EU, assuming max-size boiler) Lava fabricator...

:( That being said, thank you for your time, and I understand perfectly.

The error is because it's trying to drop -1 logs into the chest below. Try looping with sleep until there's at least 1 log. while true do turtle.suckDown() while not turtle.getItemCount(1) do turtle.suckDown() os.sleep(1) end turtle.dropDown(turtle.getItemCount(1)-1) -- This...

Stockpile charcoal! Lots of charcoal. Lots and lots of charcoal. Lots and lots and lots of charcoal. You'll need ~9444 charcoal to heat up the boiler fully, or ~147.5 stacks. How much charcoal / hour are you producing? You'll need ~643 charcoal / hour to keep the boiler fully heated, or ~10...

Does anyone know if you can make a soul shard with mobs spawned with a MFR autospawner?

I generally don't so much get bored as frustrated.
