    What can I use in place of signposts in a futuristic setting?

    Do you like to hide your machinery behind the scenes?

    I like having ice bases with liquiducts filled with lava for "heating". I'll show some cabling or put some pointless cables around if I'm going for the whole SPACE!!! look. I also tend to run the redstone conduits under the floor and show them with glass, they look classy. I hide my tesseracts...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Playing ultimate 1.4.7 I'm looking to set up a mid-sized power setup for my first quarry in a new world but I can't decide what I should do. I usually use a bank of combustion engines supplied with fuel, but I'm looking for alternatives. I have no MJ infrastructure because I've been doing...

    Drill requires plates now??

    New gregtech machines are awesome. They can even do automated output like TE machines, and they can also transfer power to each other without cabling.

    Do you feel that applied energetics can ruin some of the fun?

    AE ruining fun? You don't have Gregtech I suppose, AE crafting takes the tedium out of many of the Gregtech machines and would be invaluable for that alone. But it's also a very good storage system that keeps all of the stuff you put into it in the same place for easy access. Like KirinDave the...

    BC (MJ) to EU/t power conversion question

    It doesn't get any easier. You build a boiler, supply it with things to burn and water, you get steam which can be used in the various steam engines for MJ, steam consumer for Powerconverters and Steam Turbines for EU.

    Regulating Items in 1.5.2

    One trick is if you fill half of the planter with oak and the other half with birch saplings and then tell your export bus to keep it stocked with both, since it can only put the new saplings into the existing stacks, it can't possibly fill it up with ony one kind as long as you have enough of...

    How to get Magmatic Engines to output better

    You probably didn't wrench your redstone conduits into receive mode. You want the arrow looking things where the conduit connects to the engine to point away from the engine, it means it's taking power from there. I think it's also yellow colored instead of blue, but don't quote me on that, I...

    Dear FTB team now that 1.4.7 packs are final

    Now that your yearly allowance of ampersands are spent, you can go back to typing "and".

    Why do people hate Greg?

    Is it time to b& Gregtech threads yet? I like it even though it's tedious to craft so many things and build so many machines to gain little benefit in building parts for other machines. I don't mind anything else, but crafting tedium is there. I find I'm spending more time trying to craft...

    Quarry vs. hand digging

    Thanks, I know of that method but I have the attention span of a particularly curious cat and I can't keep up with following rules like that. I just jump down into pits and ravines. I'm hopeless, but thanks again for trying to help.
  17. Q

    Quarry vs. hand digging

    I like non-automated mining but I get lost very easily. Once I even managed to get lost with a fully upgraded modular powersuit then died in a lava lake when my power ran out while trying to find the way back out.
