Here you go. I put up a welcome sign too hehe. My base is still a work in progress though... so many things left to improve. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/37770164/FavoriteFox%20World.zip

It's 18x4x3 if you use pneumatic tubes and x4 if you use magtubes.

I've created an HV Solar Array factory that uses managers and magtubes to connect the autocrafting tables, and energy tesseracts to power the wooden pipes. It's quite compact, modular and fast. I calculated the top speed is about 15 minutes per HV Solar Array. I haven't seen this design before...

If you use an energy tesseract, you could use a redstone energy cell between it and the quarry to regulate the output.

Snow golems can kill blazes. Also I built an XP farm based on Direwolf20's idea but the mobs can't hit you. If you try this out, add the line turtle.drop(64) to the program or the turtle will pick up most of the blaze rods. You can place brains in a jar on the bottom row but they are not...

Sounds promising. I haven't tried out item tesseracts yet because I focused on upgrading my energy system first. I was tired of manually placing redstone energy cells.

I found a huge oil well close to my base so I started using combustion engines. I still use them today but I've separated the components and connected everything using energy and liquid tesseracts. This allows me to exploit remote oil wells by placing only 4 blocks (pump, energy and liquid...

I just revised my combustion engine system yesterday using liquid and energy tesseracts. It's much cleaner now and more reliable. I made a video about it (warning: I suck at making videos)

I wasted hours in my first FTB world trying to get the hobbyist steam engine to run. For some reason I assumed only redstone engines needed a redstone signal...

The builder has been broken for quite a while IIRC

Instead of trying each aspect one by one you can also use items that have several aspects e. g.pistons and book cases. This saves research time at the cost of more resources.

Make a second world were you can experiment and try out stuff in creative mode before you build them in your main world. It will save you a lot of time.

Great. I'm going to try to put this and a quarry on a frame so I can move it around easily.

Sweet. Would like to see the script as well.

Some very nice bases in this thread. I made a short video of my first FTB base:

My favorite machine is the manager. It makes it very easy to set up a sorting and retrieval system. Least favorite is the sortron because it requires coding in forth.

I fixed my combustion engine cooling problems with liquiducts. They don't seem to have issues with T-junctions, backsloshing or capacity. Three aquaous extruders can keep 10 combustion engines running (two is not enough).

I built auto crafting factories for the manager and the HV solar array. From those two the HV solar array would be by far the hardest to build manually. Haven't built the other ones in the list yet.

I encountered a bug in redpower managers and now I can't log into my world anymore. I tried using MCEdit to delete the manager but it replaced all my non vanilla blocks with vanilla ones. WorldEdit doesn't seem to work on my PC. Are there any other options to get my world back?
