Modular Power Suits relies on IC2 or Universal Electricity for recharging.

Well that wouldn't be true to the source material at all!

This goes beyond pure rendering lag. Using an RP2 transport system on my small private system, I notice a larger hit in server performance and a decrease in TPS compared to a Buildcraft system. I'm asking if anyone has done solid performance testing on RP2, or if all anyone has to offer is...

Is it the whole mod? Can I safely use the blulectric solars and furnaces, or is it just the pipe system I want to avoid?

How are routers better than tubes? Tubes do exactly what I want them to do.

Applied Energistics is AWESOME. I can't wait to get it on the DW20 pack (my friends won't play GregTech and distributing configs is the kind of chore I came to FTB to avoid). It's ultra-compact, virtually lag-free, and more powerful than a well designed Logistics system.

Bah, never thought I'd want insertion pipes for barrels once I had redpower.

So, Relays are bad for lag. Timers are bad for lag. How do you put things into tubes that isn't bad for lag?

You can also consider a Steve's Carts tree farm. They require much less managing than the Forestry one, at a greater initial resource cost.

The best way to supply most vanilla metal is a T5 zombie pigman soul shard and a minium stone. Sustainable is a fun goal, but not necessary with the amount of power available from fuel. As Ultimate is a Gregtech hard pack, thorough knowledge of GregTech is your best bet for getting to the...

They drop a Minefactory Reloaded rubber per wood block. These can be used to make torches, can be smelted into Rubber Bars which substitute for IC2 rubber, and are further used to make Plastic for almost all Minefactory Reloaded items.

That seems a little harsh...

Minefactory Reloaded. Those trees are the bomb.

This admin would like to allow it, and make it not kill his server. But I'm starting to feel like I'm shouting at a windstorm here. The discussion keeps pulling back to what is fair or what is allowed in a sandbox game about what is possible with inifinite(1) space and resources. Seriously...

If you want to write the mod for the heck of it, go for it. Just expect anything you create to run with your computer to eventually be run by a MiscPeripherals-adapted Computer Craft computer. As far as the question of programming turtles / rp2 computers being a good source of gameplay content...

With relays causing lag, and timers causing lag, what's the best way to set up an input to a tube system without lag?

I'm working on an ore processing system now with infernal furnaces set up to handle the full output of a max speed quarry. I'll let you know what I find out.

Pumps don't cause the issue. Flowing blocks do. The server dealing with said pumps doesn't cause an issue, and slowing them down would just make people build two or three or ten instead of one, creating the same number of flowing blocks. Limiting number of 'flow' blocks would fix things. Not...

offtopic @GreenWolf13: I got all excited by your signature, thinking it was a link to some awesome mod or server that I had somehow completely missed. The hope was a beautiful thing, even if short-lived. My cold, black heart was briefly crushed.

Tubes with equidistant possible inventories will average out to 50% going each way over time. So, from your wheat input, have your storage output and your processing output equidistant, then from that processing output, have a split to your biofuel refinery and your bakeshop equidistant. This is...
