    I think pneumatic pipes may be what you're looking for. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. They will send an item to a inventory slot in a machine as long as there is room for it. If there is no room, it won't send anything at all. Check it out on the wiki, and see if I'm correct or not ;p I have...

    Alright. Now how do I combat mulch overflow in the fermenters, and how do I pull the overflow saplings from the planters with using as little diamond pipes as possible. Is there something like the redstone electricity pipe things that I can power using steam or stirling engines?

    Can I just use waterproof cobble? I can't make hardened I don't have the machines needed to make the conduits, if those truly are better, but if I could just use engines or something for now that would be good.

    What are those tubes you have labeled for power, and can tube handle liquids? Sorry for all the noob questions.

    So saplings into the orange and black space, and I can have a side pipe on whichever color that will deal with any overflow that might accumulate? Also, all sapling go straight to the planters, so is it best to wait for them to fill up and siphon off the overflow or... By Redpower tubes, do you...

    That's essentially what I need. I don't really need efficiency, I just don't want to waste all the sapling my farm puts out when I could turning them into something useful. Your set up is a little hard to follow, because I haven't herd of half of these devices, but I hope you don't mind if I...

    Drat. That's a lot of work. I'm really confused on this whole monster spawning thing. Just the normal spawners. If the mobs are outside of a 17x17 block area of the spawner, the spawner will continuously spawn monsters. So why do traps that I've seen keep them so close to the spawner? With the...

    A switch? I don't remember off hand how exactly this all works, so it's hard to visualize.If I move a monster spawner with my Portal gun, will it effect it's rates or anything like that? Also, is there a way to have mobs spawning at all times, and not just when I'm within range?

    Oh, that's great! I only wish I could run my biomass operation full time, I can't now because I use apple juice and I don't get enough apples to sustain it for more than one use at a time.

    Is there a backpack that doesn't hold a specific group of item, like a general purpose backpack or something like it. Also, I found what looks to be an enchanted bee... wut?

    This soul shard stuff, regardless of the mob you wanna use, is very very time heavy.Is there a fast way to get grass to grow? Or will bonemeal spawn grass when you use it?

    The down side of making a Wither Skelly spawner is that they have really rare spawn rates, and it takes about a 1000 kills or so to get the tier 5 soul shard for anything. If you've got that kind of time, good luck to you, but that would take a very long time. Also, If a Stirling engine is...

    What's the best mob to farm for XP? I know Blaze have the highest XP drop for a non-boss mob, but I would also like items too. I was thinking skeletons, but I'm unsure. I wanted to capture them with soul shards and use that cage thing to make my spawner, so spawn rate won't really be an issue...

    I just made an AEJ (Advanced Electric Jetpack) and it can be recharged using the MEI, which I have, but it's only being powered by 3 solar panels. Because of this, the AEJ takes FOREVER to recharge, and it sucks all the power away from my machines. Obviously, it's time for an upgrade but I'm not...
