As EH said, it just uses a tiny amount when it starts up in order to get up to temperature. If you're planning on using gates to regulate power flow and intend to stick with the biogas engines then you will need to route lava pipes for a fully automated system. Because it uses so little though...

That sounds like a block ID issue, maybe. Did anything get updated or changed in Minecraft or the modpack you're using?

I had something similar happen to me when I was using my modified mindcrack pack. It was a cluster of 5 barrels that were just suddenly weren't there. I checked carefully and spotted the collision boxes were still there. I could still put stuff in and get stuff out. Is that the same for you, or...

Why chop it when you can burn it? Burn it with wrath fire. Mwahahahah!

Going a little more scientific, Gregtech has the correct position on aluminium processing. Bauxite is the typical Al ore extracted in the real world. It isn't a metal that can simply be cooked out of the rock, it has to be electrolysed. The way I look at it in my head is that the processed...

I agree with the above. I'm playing through and thoroughly enjoying the ways I'm having to adapt from the old tried-and-true methods of power generation. I'm finding new ways to set things up that I hadn't considered before. The Xycraft aluminium works fine for me. I'm using it for cans to run...

Speaking if the machines, I've been trying out the mechanics in my creative test world. I saw someone else experiencing this same problem: after over an hour of trying I have yet to get anything but corrupted templates out if the sequencer. Any ideas?

We just need someone to come up with a mod for Iridium infused nukes... either that or a Naquadah mod.

Should we be concerned that we're discussing the building of IDBMs? (Inter-Dimensional Ballistic Missiles). The PortalGun idea takes me back to my Starcraft days. I was very good at spotting that little red dot.

Blast! Well, if you want a job done right I guess you really do need to do it yourself. and I so wanted to be able to send forth my carefully coded minions.

I don't know if it would work, but you could go proper Bond villain and have a CC crafty turtle do the target aquisition then return with the target co-ordinates (linking book). Then you never even have to leave your bunker. All hinges on whether the crafted linkbook would be valid though. I...

I love the idea of using the mystcraft portals, if the lit nukes are indeed entities. It means you have to go in and 'paint' the target first (by creating the linking book at the point you want the nuke to go). Though, you could combine the barrel with the 'retain momentum' quality and still...

It doesn't speak well of my maturity, but when I read 'ComputerCraft attack turtles' I just started giggling. I've known turtles could be used for that for a while, but seeing it written down that way appealed somehow. As to the advice, I hadn't thought of that. I may have to give it a try.

Favourite: Not technically a machine, but a combination of them. Ladies, gentlemen and assorted entities. I give you, the Redpower 2 Frame Quarry (in vertical or horizontal bore arrangement). Most hated: Again, more a combination of machines. It is... The Redpower 2 Frame Quarry. I hate setting...

Am I right in thinking that doesn't need sorting machines?

MCEdit and delete one of the crystals bordering a portal? Or perhaps deleting one of the ages it is jumping you to? Obviously back up the world before trying either though.

Get ye Flask! -You cannot get flask.-

It does work with a controller, though I've never played it with either controller or joystick. Always with just the keyboard, never with the mouse. Once you have a handle on the shortcut keys the interface that is initially daunting becomes quite quick to manage. I really should try picking...

Hrulgin: Always hoping that his next Leap... would be the Leap home. Great story. Take note, children. Always carry an extra linkbook home.

Got into minecraft back during the Alpha stage. I'd read a couple of strips on Penny Arcade that talked about it, I was in the middle of a week off work so I figured I'd check it out. Payed the few pounds it was going for at the time and subsequently lost the rest of my holiday. It was the first...
