The forum thread for all of the Power Crystals mods has some useful documentation on MFR. The Unofficial FTB Wiki has plenty of info too.

True, that works too, and it's the one I tend to use once I can afford a power tool.

Check out the official website for AE. Turns out I was actually slightly wrong. You can't set priority on disks, but you can on ME Chests and Drives, as well as Storage Buses.

AE, I think. LP can't request AE to craft things, which is probably the only downside of the AE/LP integration. I'm pretty sure you can use LP's autocrafting with materials from your AE system, though. So if you know in advance what you might need crafted while you're out of your base, you...

Are you sure this worked in 1.4.7? As far as I know, arrangement of your storage cells in a drive doesn't have anything to do with priority. Basically, you can set the priority of some AE items like storage buses and cells, and items will always head to the highest priority storage that's...

Or you could just open up your remote orderer, order the items you want, and magically find them in your Ender Pouch maybe a second later. Even if you have a turtle build it for you, the quantum network method is still slower, more expensive, less convenient, and not even available unless...

Not exactly. I'm assuming that logoster was referring to remote-request of any items in the network from beyond the relatively small range of the Wireless Access Point, which is basically impossible without Logistics Pipes. Yes, you can keep items stocked (albeit through a fairly complicated...

Yep. In an ME network, items are routed by default to places where that item is already stored first. So, if you have a DSU for cobble, for example, as long as you don't have cobble stored elsewhere in the system, all the cobble will go to that DSU. The best part about using storage buses is...

If you have the OpenPeripheral and MiscPeripherals addons for ComputerCraft, you can manage your planter with a computer. OpenPeripheral turns the planter into a peripheral and lets a computer look at its inventory. Whenever it needs more saplings or seeds, you can use the ME Bridge from...

Well I feel stupid. I didn't know you could produce fertilizer through any other means than the recipe, so my rarely-fertilized carrot farm was holding up my biomass production (I'm using the Plugins for Forestry mod to turn carrots into vegetable juice, which works like apple juice in the...

So, after finding out that Factorization solar boilers produce RailCraft steam, I decided to find out exactly how much. This was built in creative, just as a test, but I'm starting to think that, when I have the silver to spare, I'll build a couple of solar boiler towers like this one. It's a...

Forge does many things. It tweaks the game's performance, adds an ore dictionary and loads of other APIs and cross-mod compatibility stuff, and basically serves as a platform upon which you can build a mod without editing base classes. But if you're not editing Minecraft's own base classes...

FML is a part of Forge that deals specifically with mod loading. (Hence the name, "Forge Mod Loader.")

Almost nobody. I just said that for the sake of accuracy.

It's actually half that, around 12.5GB/s. Unless you're using Dual Channel. I blame sleep deprivation for my rather massive mathematical errors. I feel quite stupid now.

You could use os.pullevent("redstone") to wait for the redstone signal to go on, then have the computer sleep for a second and then check to see if the signal turned off.

Milliseconds, actually, not nanoseconds. There's a million nanoseconds in a millisecond, and most HDDs have a seek time ranging from 10-15 milliseconds. It doesn't seem like much, but it's significant. Latency adds a few more milliseconds to that. But yeah, you're right about HDD speeds being...

FML loads ModLoader mods just fine. It does not, however, work with ModLoaderMP mods like Ugocraft. If you're looking for some kind of replacement for RedPower's frames, you might want to check out Redstone in Motion instead.

Ugocraft may be really problematic because it's not a Forge mod. As far as I know, you won't be able to play SMP with your modpack because Ugocraft requires ModLoaderMP, which doesn't work with Forge at all.

Sugar cane already works in the Forestry Fermenter to produce biomass which can be turned into ethanol.
