I know how to calculate it, thanks. Tough if you divide by 10 instead of 8 you get a more realistic value, counting overhead from the TCP/IP packets. I do this to not raise more questions when they start monitoring the speed and notice they don't get the max possible speed. I even made a small...

It would be wise, yes, but not always needed. If you setup the priorities correctly (ie. Make sure the trash can storage bus is the lowest priority of them all) it works as an automatic overflow protection. But yeah, for my own peace of mind I always filter items there :)

I am already using this mechanic and it works as expected. A barrel with a storage bus set to priority 128 and another storage bus on a trash can with priority 1. Whenever the barrel is full, the rest is "stored" in the trash can. Though this was with FZ barrels but I guess it's safe to assume...

I'd say bandwidth too. 600 kbps upload speed translates to ~60 kB/sec (overhead etc), which is not much these days. As for the latency, which is not directly related to bandwidth by the way, you could try a meaningful ping test. Pings to test services don't mean much, just measures the speed...

In Minecraft you can disable mob griefing with a command, though that would also stop creepers from destroying blocks when they explode. Anyway, the command is /gamerule mobGriefing false (In case of SP, cheats need to be enabled and in case of MP you need to be OP).

That's afaik only in the 1.6 packs. Unleashed is 1.5, no open blocks there. You can try an obsidian pipe with an engine attached. It should work the same as the vacuum hopper in that it sucks items into a pipe / inventory.

Glad we could help. Not_steve is with his mind on the 1.6 packs I guess. You're on the 1.5 Unleashed pack and in that version there is no RF, don't need to worry about that stuff.

Like already been said, you can do that with electrical engines. They come from Forestry and you connect your EU power plant to it. By default it uses 6 EU/t and creates 2mj/t but you can upgrade them to be quite good. You said that with power converters you could hook the reactor directly to...

Afaik the rancher or other animal blocks from MFR are not upgradeable. Same as with the grinder, it's always a 5x5 range. Only the sewer is upgradable, or I missed an update :)

For purely creating biofuel, there is no reason to use wheat seeds over any other type of seed/plant. Though, I use wheat to automatically breed cows for their beef and leather. Might as well use the seeds to make biofuel. To elaborate a bit more. When making biofuel I always try to pick plants...

I have something like this setup and apart from wheat, only use ic2 crop sticks for the crops. I'm the crop sticks ambassador :) What I have: Jungle tree farm (the 2x2 farm - yes, smaller then the default 3x3) with fertilizer. Grows a big tree in a second and again after it has been chopped...

Seriously, when you combine hundred+ mods in one pack the "intent" from the original mod-author is gone. If you play an FTB pack, you play as the pack team intended, not the mod itself. Not that it would be a bad thing, I just not so different as what zorn described. I don't belong here...

Right I totally missed that one, my bad! Though I still blame you for breaking the despawning debate ;-)

Thank you! Now, if you could say something about the despawning mechanics - especially the mechanics for despawning while nobody is in the same dimension - on these mob farms you would be on-topic too. ;-)

You can turn it on/off by pressing the "O" button. You might have accidentally closed it last time. Open your inventory and press O (oo not zero)

I have my cursed earth spawner on a DW20 server too, and it works great. Though I don't have it in a seperate dimension so during the day the gains in essence are really small (only a few cows are grinded because I also drop them in the cursed earth pit). But during the night time when nobody...

Sure, be stubborn and keep doing it that way. It's not that it can't work, but there are lots of situations where your advice would not work. I posted here to help answer questions and sometimes (like in this case) I speak up when people post info that isn't that good. Same as I'd like to be...

I just use an export bus on the planter and configure it for the 6 types of saplings. The trick is, I "prep" the planter first. Which means I would fill all the slots with the 6 different type of saplings (at least 2 slots per sapling type) and then enable the export bus. Now your problem...

This might have worked for you, but is no way default behaviour. I've had situations in the past where it moved items from the DSU to the DSU and leaving items on disks alone utill finished with the DSU. Now the DSU is in an endless loop so will never finish. Best approach is to temporarily...

Nice workaround :) Gotta try this out myself too. And you're right about the dimensions, it works as you described and also works for Mystcraft ages. This is because mobs despawn when you move away about 128 blocks but this mechanic stops working when there is nobody in the dimension. So...
