    Automating magical crops.

    for planting, you can try minefactory reloaded planter, or thaumcraft golems. i think thermal expansion autonomous activators work too, though only on a single crop tile. computercraft turtles could do it as well, good luck coding that ;) for harvesting, several ways: 1) minefactory reloaded...

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    using transition planes for a tree farm. very sexy, especially when using an autonomous activator loaded with a tico lumberaxe set to autosmelt the wood into charcoal ;) also, did not know mfr sewers collected xp as mob essence. block placer + breaker over sewer = lots of mob essence from...

    Big Reactors, and Farming Question (Shrooms)

    i just tried 0.3.0, 0.3.1, and latest 0.3.2 builds. when you open the gui on the redstone port, check the icon next to the power icon, that controls rod insertion. the value of the 'off' input doesnt get saved when you commit. i was basically doing the same exact thing as the power on/off...

    hmm the redstone port to control rod insertion seems bugged...gonna try hitting up the mod dev about it

    Big Reactors, and Farming Question (Shrooms)

    i believe u can control them via the redstone ports as well, havent tried that yet. as for the shutdown, yes its a total shutdown. its not consuming fuel when the reactor is down, but it will still produce a bit of power while the reactor cools down.

    Big Reactors, and Farming Question (Shrooms)

    the left most port controls on/off status of the reactor, which is hooked up to the output of the rs latch. the middle port is set to emit a signal when power buffer drops below 10%, the rightmost is set to emit when power buffer is above 95%. use jacketed wires to interface to the port, then...

    Big Reactors, and Farming Question (Shrooms)

    ender chests are perfect for remote fueling. for power control, i did a simple circuit. if you have project red, you can use a rs latch. place 3 redstone ports on your reactor. set one to control turning the reactor on/off via redstone signal. set another one to emit when power buffer is above...

    Pumping Steam to Big Reactors' Turbines

    yep tesseracts are the way to go. im feeding multiple turbines from steam off my big reactor using just one tesseract on the reactor, and an input tesseract on each turbine set to same freq of reactor tesseract. also, feed the water from the turbines back to the reactor, they will keep the...

    Magic Crops + Big Reactor = lots of power (pic heavy)

    sorry about photobucket guys...gonna look for another image host that doesnt cripple you in bandwidth was toying around with metallurgy metals in the turbines...wasnt impressed with it. i tried tartarite, that almost ended up in an overspin scenario and didnt produce quite the power i was...

    easy but slow way to get mycellium: sludge boiler. if you have mfr harvesters on a tree farm or crops, process the sludge. youll get lots of sand, dirt, clay and peat, but occasionally you will get soul sand and mycellium. look in community builds for magic crops + big reactors thread, theres a...

    What's the best way to produce mass amounts of Redstone Flux?

    theres a thread in community builds with pics of a big reactor and 16 turbines (youll see it at end of thread) putting out a total of 430k rf per tick. all fed fuel generated by magic crops.

    Magic Crops + Big Reactor = lots of power (pic heavy)

    the reactor has diamond blocks in the core, directly between the rods, with the coolant on the perimeter. yes its the gelid cryotheum. as for the turbines, i just went with eth100tx's design. before i did the turbines it was a passively cooled reactor doing 60k rf per tick. the turbine setup i...

    Magic Crops + Big Reactor = lots of power (pic heavy)

    i just looked at the stats of my reactor...its producing 50 buckets of steam per *tick*. that means this can run 25 turbines, each putting out 27k rf/t...over 680k rf per tick. i think i win ;) i just started adding ore processing, and its taking a while to convert all the existing stuff, never...

    Magic Crops + Big Reactor = lots of power (pic heavy)

    not claiming victory just yet ;) after @eth100tx awesome pic response, i had to do the same ;) 5 very large turbines taking steam from the reactor, and they feed water back to the reactor to keep the cycle going, all via tesseracts. btw...dont try doing these with fluiducts....they just...
