    Why isn't Factorization compared to TE or IC2?

    The only use for Factorization power network is the Furnace Heater to power your vanilla furnaces.

    MJ to EU alternative

    There is a Lava Fabricator you can use from MFR. It accepts both MJ and EU, and is more efficient than the Magma crucible.

    Pc Setup

    Minecraft typically is CPU intensive, so the more Ghz, the better. I would try a mod pack, press f3, and report the FPS to us. It should be around 30 to be okay. Edit: I looked your specs up, and you are running on a 5 year old CPU. I would highly suggest a new computer if you can afford it.

    Early game power gen with gregtech 1.5.2

    Factorization solar boiler feeding into hobbyist steam engine? Yeah, it is solar, but it is only a trickle to help you along.

    [Mindcrack 1.4.7] Unconventional tree farms?

    You can modify the program to boot on startup. Create a GPS system, so no matter where the turtle was, it will go back to it's designated spot and then begin the program.

    little help with biofuel

    The need for the pump perplexes me. As you can see, the biofuel reactor pumps out the fuel by itself into a tank. A pump is designed for use in pumping world gen liquids, and that is it.

    Natura question: Berries

    Apple trees? I have a small orchard of them, and they supply more than enough apples for me. The leaves work like berry bushes, so they always replenish themselves.

    little help with biofuel

    What pack are you on? Why do you need to pump the biofuel from the ground? Did you take it out of the reactor and place it in the world? Waterproof pipes should automatically pull from the reactor without need of wooden ones or power. Can we have pictures?

    You want to pump the biofuel out of the generator or out of the tank?

    Rage Deaths

    My most memorable Rage death was when I still played Technic back. I had Mo Creatures installed, and I started up a new world. I spawned on a desert island in the middle of an ocean, with no trees or dirt to be seen. I realized I couldn't survive on that island, so I tried swimming away. That...

    AE Molecular Assembler Chamber

    Is there a limit to the size of the Chamber?

    Slimeballs

    Making a soulshard for slimes would be your best bet. Try finding a chunk they spawn in, and go to town.

    Slimeballs

    What version of FTB? I just kill a metric ton of slimes by finding the chunks they spawn in. In 152ngt, I kill blue slimes due to their plentiful nature, which you can substitute in many recipes.

    Milking Cows

    I'd recommend only supplying it with a very small amount of power, as it is an energy hog for me. As soon as the internal buffer has any space, it collects a bucket but only fills up the buffer the few mB that was missing. I assume you are going to be using it with Force engines, correct?

    Can someone help me with item ID conflicts?

    Which mod pack are you using, and how are you looking up the recipe?

    Post your starting strategies

    I build a 9x9 out of wood, get food and a manual tree farm up before mining, get a grinder for ore doubling, and then start making TE machines using a hobbyist steam engine fed by a factorization steam boiler/mirror setup.

    How do you guys do you power plants?

    I currently have two Hobbyist steam engines power my ore processing and my milk farm using the solar boiler method. The milk then gets fed into my force engines, which are on a loop with a lava fab (almost full!). I plan on making myself another couple of force engines to run off of MFR biofuel...

    How do you guys do you power plants?

    As a side note, each mirror provides around .2 MJ/t worth of steam, so prepare to spend all your silver to power a Hobbyist steam engine. 80 Silver to run at max speed.

    Automated Defense System

    But if it is PVP, Lava shows through the trapdoor.
