    Need Barrel Help!

    Yeah, that's what's happening. Is there any way to fix that WITHOUT using Redpower? I don't want to have to use a filter on every barrel. D:

    Need Barrel Help!

    So for the first time, after a month of using FTB, I am using barrels. I know, right? But... I need some help As you can see, I have several barrels set up, leading from a steve's carts wood farm and a forestry crop farm. But... my wheat doesn't go in. I don't know why. Those are...

    Fastest Quarry?

    yes, I know of the power tesseracts, but... what if I am going to set up things in the Twilight Forest? Isn't a Tesseract better because I can reduce the losses if the chunks DO disappear? Having a full Boiler Setup in the Twilight FOrest sounds like a rather bad idea...

    Is the Rock Crusher an upgraded version of the Pulverizer?

    I didn't know NEI did that. Thanks! I'll tell my discoveries here. if it does have an advantage, then everyone should know. The current one, in my opinion, is Macerator > Pulverizer > Rock Crusher? We'll see. EDIT: While the Rock Crusher does give 2 dusts from an ore, it does NOT give any...

    Fastest Quarry?

    what about a 64x64 sized quarry that only has to remove around 30-40 layers?

    Is the Rock Crusher an upgraded version of the Pulverizer?

    Exactly what it says on the tin. Does it have the 5% chance for most ores to give a secondary output?

    Fastest Quarry?

    Still, how long do they last to power a quarry fully? Will one be enough for what I want?

    Fastest Quarry?

    Aren't redstone cells 60 million? I only got a sideways glance at them, haha.

    32x [32x] JohnSmith Technician's Remix

    I still can't get the google docs download to work. Is there a mirror ANYWHERE? Also, I see to be having trouble with my fire particles. Whenever the hydra breathes fire, I see nothing, but I can hear it and I certainly burn quite well! I'm using a version I downloaded two weeks ago though...

    Fastest Quarry?

    So, with the recent changes to the quarry, I hear that it can take up to 100mj/t. The question is, if I was to place a redstone energy cell next to it, will it use up all of the energy? I am going to try to place a quarry over a max-size Hollow Hill in the Twilight Forest, you see, and was...

    How much EU is a BC fuel bucket worth in a steam boiler?

    Bumping this topic to ask another question. We have the estimated value for fuel in a boiler in EU. But what about MJ? If I was to power a fully-heated up Boiler with 1 bucket of fuel, how long would that boiler last before it stats to lose heat? And how many buckets would it take to last...

    How much EU is a BC fuel bucket worth in a steam boiler?

    Alright, I'll try that. Thanks, Abdiel.

    How much EU is a BC fuel bucket worth in a steam boiler?

    Well, you're right. But in the end it's our opinions. I personally want to give players on my server a reason to use different sources of power rather than sticking constantly to solar all the time. So the question is... is there a config file I can edit to modify the heat of lava?

    How much EU is a BC fuel bucket worth in a steam boiler?

    But it does require a significant investment, including a way to transmit it from the nether. even with that, I still think it should be around 3k heat. If it was, I'd reduce the values for geothermals again and rely completely on steam; besides, steam looks cooler if I do say so myself. Kinda...

    How much EU is a BC fuel bucket worth in a steam boiler?

    Is there a way to increase heat values of a liquid in the configs? 1k for lava when everything else is at LEAST 4k seems... underwhelming.

    Mining resets when picking up a block

    Is there anything I can do to fix bad server lag?

    Comparison of different energies

    Solar panels are overused and, as such, I hate them. I believe they stifle creativity. As I said before, solar panels were really heavily nerfed for my server. As for Redpower energy, I haven't thought about that. But the major thing about it is, as you said, Batteries. I'd prefer to have only a...

    Railcraft Steam Turbines

    Exactly the reason on my server that I nerfed solar panels to HALF of thier previous levels. It annoyed me to no end that people would just build solar complexes and have eveything they need. Minecraft is about creativity... create a freaking steam plant! Nuclear reactor! SOMEthing! Also...

    Comparison of different energies

    Ahh, I see. So for long term sustainable, my buffed geothermals are good. But for heavy duty stuff and higher power required objects, like quarries, my best bet is to make fuel and use them in boilers. Is there a config file anywhere that you can edit heat values? only 1k for lava seems a...
