    I wanted I to be automatic, though. It automatically detects when the machine can hold more power and sends a signal to power up the engine.

    But what if you used a melee turtle?

    I don't understand how to get the redstone signal to power on the engine. Is it a normal signal, or is it a pipe signal? Assuming I am using the gates.

    How do I get a stirling engine to turn on only when the machine it's power needs more energy? I'm assuming gates, butI don't know how to work them yet.

    How would I get my Gate to automatically send the stirling engine it's attached to fuel when it needs it? I don't know what to do with the redstone signal it will send out when there is space in the inventory.

    I know they cost more, but before I made the fix, I got 3 level 30 enchants. Now, with it fixed, I'm not even getting a third of that. And I let it run twice as long. I have the Sword of the Zephyr, I just want repair to fix it because I'm too lazy to make a new one. I haven't gotten into...

    It worked, they're all one hit now, but I still have a few problems. the Skeletons seemed buggy, like I'd clearly hit 10 of them and I'd miss them when I do hit it's only one. I can't buzz through all the mobs I've collected, which isn't very much because of the next problem. I left it run for...

    Is there a way to kill only adult mobs, and not the babies?

    I had that exact thought as I read that. Thanks!

    Was the chuck that the quarry was missing, by any chance, a chuck of obsidian? I've had problems before where my quarry wouldn't mine obsidian, but it would mine out all other blocks around it. I don't remember exactly how I fixed it, but I think it had something to do with me manually turning...

    I'm having some serious efficiency issues with my tier 5 spawner set up. It's literally just them spawning into a room with water that makes then flow to one corner in a wall, go 8 blocks, and fall into the shaft where I massacre them. It was 23 blocks, but they were dying. Now it's 22 blocks...

    The turtles break it, but don't get any ore from it, and the quarries miss areas? What do you mean by that?

    Yessir. If you don't want to do it manually, then a mining well would work, but they only dig a 1 block wide shaft. So you'd need a lot of them, have to tend to them often, and need to power them all. Plus you'd be in the nether. Besides the mining laser, quarries, or mining turtle... May I ask...

    I will have a large amount of biofuel initially, but eventually I'd like continual power gain, but on a balanced system. So I'm constantly producing energy, but my supply never really runs out, and required minimal intervention from me. Is this possible with Steam boilers? If you have a...

    Let me say, that that was probably the most of any in-depth game science wall O' text I've read so far, and I still understood any of it, haha. I left that page, with the impression, "Don't even bother this shit is way to complicate for you!". Sorry fpr replying so late, too. I just now felt a...

    Does anyone know of an easy way to access barrels on a wall? I've got... well think of a rectangular prism extending into the ground to y = 10. The walls are lined with barrels filled with stuff that I need, so what's the best way to reach it all? Also, is there a good way to get rid of "junk"...

    Agreed. I'd love if I could place all of the enclosures underground with a glass on top that acted like those platform in Terraria that let you jump through the bottom, and through the top if you press down?. That would make it easier to get in there and breed the critters.
