    In game documentation for computercraft peripherals (special open peripheral support)

    What is your problem with Lua tables? I might not answer you here but I had a project to do with common computercraft goals a couple of months ago that I abandoned due to time constraints but I hope to pick up again. Lua tables are easy when you get over the initial learning curve and I hope to...

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    Been playing with a Steve's Carts galgadorian auto miner and I gotta say that I am impressed @Vswe The drill is great and all, very fast and fun. But the pièce de résistance is the liquid sensor. For those that don't know, this module prevents the cart from drilling in such a way that would...

    Cotton Farming

    I know but there was some talk of monster so I thought I would chime in. The wool gin is a good idea (I think it is made with a drawplate which requires some diamond).

    Cotton Farming

    I think there is an Engineer's Toolbox module that can turn wool into 4 string (with no dye output). Is E Toolbox in Monster?

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    Don't know how well known this is but Sluices from Mariculture offer a great way of getting the lava from the serenade of the nether into tanks without needing to use power.

    Corpses live in dirt. You can get dirt as a byproduct of farming necro posts

    Loads of Eggs

    That is very generous thank you. I would love to take a look, although I tend to play the game with a different balance level that I suspect you tend to play (at least on your modpack) but that's no problem.

    Loads of Eggs

    2 emc becomes 1 after "20%" tax rate. Sounds familiar. Did you change the recipe using energy manipulator itself or did you use minetweaker for that.

    Loads of Eggs

    I might do that, the modpack I play is updating much slower these days so adding mods is less of a hassle. I might save it for another world though it does sound interesting.

    Barrels: JABBA vs. Factorization

    I may as well mention what I needed comparator functionality for. I process reduced silver, lead, cobalt, ardite and dark iron chunks in crystallisers. I use a FZ servo to automate this. But servos are quite power hungry so, given that I don't have a constant stream of ore into my base...

    Barrels: JABBA vs. Factorization

    I know what you mean, but I guess its the price you pay for the convenience. Permit me to go a bit meta here ladies and gentlemen. Isn't it funny, that a simple block designed to keep at base, a little over a double chest's worth of a single type of material would spark so much creativity from...

    Loads of Eggs

    How many eggs would you say you get per minute and how do you deal with force shear production?

    Barrels: JABBA vs. Factorization

    There is one more benefit that FZ barrels have over Jabba barrels. Comparator compatibility. The Jabba redstone upgrade only works when the barrel is full, but a comparator on an FZ barrel can detect if there is even one item in it. I just came up with a small use for this so while it is not...

    Nuclear power and advanced tech. The good, the bad, and the mentally unstable (aka the USSR).

    I read the other day that Greenpeace lost 3.8 million euros in a bad currency exchange deal. Serves the watermelons right imo :p. Not sure if you will see that on its front page though.

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    I think that a few weeks ago it was noted here that compatibility between MFR rednet and computercraft had been lost. Earlier when I wanted to use a computer as a variable analog emitter and I discovered, to my good fortune, that compatibility had been restored. This is on CC 1.6.3 and MFR 2.7.9...

    Loads of Eggs

    Thank you all for the suggestions you made. I may look into Leporine bees soon and I do want to try out Gendustry. I am using a Dartcraft based solution but it is not UU matter (no IC2). I have about 10 chickens but with the power of the time torch I am producing roughly one egg every 5-10...

    Loads of Eggs

    Is there a good way to get loads of eggs quickly without having to spam hens? I need as many as I can get hold of but I only have a 5*5 area to work with and I want to keep as few entities around as possible. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    What Tech World 2 Needs!!!

    In the meantime you might do well to look further into Thermal Expansion (itemducts work like tubes, also there is a project table replacement) Minefactory Reloaded (rednet cable is like bundled cable and is really good/ rednet controller contains logic gates. It is not quite the same as the...

    Barrels: JABBA vs. Factorization

    I hope that instead of 10k 40k etc as the names they keep the hardened, reinforced, resonant nomenclature (maybe with the actual storage size somewhere in the tooltip
