    CLOCKS

    They are both loops, but with the first loop that was suggested the time would just keep filling up the screen and you would get a long list of times and eventually crash the computer (trust me, I tried), so I just improved it by deleting the previous time, resetting the cursor (otherwise the...

    Fuel ideas

    To my knowledge, the buckets don't get used up, so you can keep recycling them over and over.

    Redstone energy cell continuous power drain.

    It doesn't take that much power from your system (I think it's 1 MJ/t, but I could be wrong), so if you can't keep up with that you either need a better power system, or you can just disconnect the rolling machine when you don't need it.

    Day time/ night time duration.

    If you don't mind me asking, why?

    Fuel ideas

    Why make glass bottles when you can just use buckets? It means you won't be using any power to make glass bottles as the buckets don't get used up. Also, RP tubes would be better as they can automatically route the items to an inventory. Getting the buckets out is also easy, just attach a...

    When starting a modpack.....

    I would assume it's because that's where he saved the FTB_Launcher.exe file, as my server.log file is in the same folder.

    CLOCKS

    Mine was a bit different. i = 1 while i == 1 do term.clear() term.setCursorPos(1,1) print(textutils.formatTime(os.time(), boolean)) sleep(1) end The term.clear and term.setSursorPos just clear the screen and resets the cursor so it always puts the time on the top line. The sleep is just so...

    Useful redstone contraptions?

    I'm surprised noone has mentioned Sethbling. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2Qvl4gaBge1kABr3aBCrMSb94HFLIjbn That playlist has some redstone basics and some advanced stuff. Some of the bugs, if not all, should be fixed in 1.5.1, so you can ignore them. The rest should be fine as...

    Redstone energy cell continuous power drain.

    The rolling machine is the culprit here, it continuously draws power as it does lose some over time.

    CLOCKS

    You do know that, as far as I know, it isn't possible. Even if you made a clock that kept Minecraft time, as soon as you slept in a bed it would mess it up. Minecraft doesn't keep track of time, just that, after X mins (I forget how long a day is) it turns into night, then after Y mins it...

    When starting a modpack.....

    It is literally just tracking what you are doing in the game, whether it's SSP or SMP. Remembering that SSP also behaves like a server now. Also, by the looks of it, the same file tracks over all packs, because I can see where I tried to play Ultimate and the error I got (basically, my laptop...

    Interactive Sorter Problems

    It might help if you let us know what it is designed to do, because without knowing that it can be hard to see why you are having a problem.

    Suggest Mods for FTB Here

    BTW doesn't use Forge and the Mod Author doesn't want his mod in any modpacks.

    Help installing Optifine

    You are trying to add the .zip file right?

    need help with sliding doors (frames)

    Assuming I'm thinking of the same door, it can be done with vanilla pistons and is nicknamed the Jeb door, but without actually seeing it, it can be hard to say.

    Filler not registering patterns

    When you place the pattern in the 3x3 you need to use brick blocks and glass. For a complete fill it's just filling the 3x3 grid with bricks IIRC. Then, you just place the blocks you want the filler to place in the inventory on the bottom.

    Help with launcher!

    FTB doesn't mess with Vanilla at all. I just made a folder on my desktop and downloaded the launcher into there. From there, all the files are saved into that folder. Since Vanilla files are kept elsewhere on the system, they are not touched and you can run both vanilla and FTB without...

    Most Powerful energy source there is?

    I will say, you don't actually need a skeleton spawner/bonemeal production. As long as your farm isn't stupidly tiny (and by that I'm talking about 4x4 kind of small) then by the time the cart has chopped down one tree, another will have grown anyway. The smallest one I have made had an area...

    Pipes are missing in builcraft mod

    That aren't in Buildcraft but an addon for it called Additional Buildcraft Objects (IIRC). The reason it isn't in the pack is because the original mod author has said that they will be updating their mod. The one that is currently out for Minecraft 1.4 is actually made by someone else.

    Idea for Gregtech/Advanced Machines Addon (An all new addon)

    That's not what Fission is. You can't just take random elements and expect Fission. If you wanted to split an atom of Iron or Tin, you would actually lose energy, not gain it. Even if you fused iron and tin (which could be physically impossible) which would (in theory) be energy efficient...
