They grow to the same size, as far as I know. And they spawn small pure nodes inside them.

There is an item that lets you access your ME network wirelessly, but it's got a very limited range.

You need a double equals sign. You use one when assigning values to variables, two for comparing. if Power == true then turtle.dropDown(1) end

No modpack or texturepack. I installed the mods I'm using on my own since I started playing 1.5.2 before the FTB beta packs were available. Regular vanilla textures, too. The blocks are all from Railcraft, and are probably available in the 1.5.2 beta packs, but not in any other FTB modpacks...

Paging DEFINITELY slows things down, but not because a hard disk is slower. Rather, it's because it's swapping data between the RAM and the HDD as required, which is an extra operation that slows things down. Depending on your HDD speed, fragmentation, latency, and loads of other factors...

If you've got RAM to spare, increasing the amount of RAM Minecraft can use tends to help A LOT. Not with framerate, exactly, but with most other sources of lag. Optifine actually has a couple options that are essentially "use moar threads," assuming you use Optifine. And there are some JVM...

Hmmm. Odd. I'm assuming you're on 1.5? Maybe I just need to update to a newer IC2 build or something.

Not for me, for some reason. Routers can extract buckets from water mills easily, but nothing seems to be able to insert them into water mills. Buckets loop around forever even when using insertion pipes, and they just get stuck in routers instead of getting sent to the water mills...

In response to the original question, vanilla dispensers can fill buckets. So all you have to worry about is getting the buckets to the water mills, which is a bit more complicated since water mills don't accept items from BC pipes, TE insertion pipes, or Factorization routers.

Inventory turtles don't really work the same way as a regular Interactive Sorter. event, param, amount = os.pullEvent("isort_item") This single line of code waits for an item to enter the sorter. When something does enter it, it stores the UUID (which is a hash of the ID and Meta values) in...

Oooh, I like! Link, for those who don't want to search for it.

TE's own Steam Engines are actually a REALLY good early-game MJ power source. They generate a bit more MJ/t than Hobbyist Steam engines, and don't require a warmup/cooldown period.

Advanced Solar Panels has one. The Quantum Generator is creative-only and is an infinite energy source. Which thread would that be?

Said it once and I'll say it again. INTERACTIVE SORTER. It can do all of that. It can detect items coming into it on a case-by-case basis and determine exactly what item it is and how many there are. And since it's a peripheral, you can have a ComputerCraft program that does whatever you...

Actually, I take back what I said about not really having any hopes about 1.6. I hope they fix world holes and shadow bugs.

This. 1.5.2 performance is amazing. But if you want to keep playing 1.4.7, then just start decreasing graphics settings. Fast instead of Fancy, low view distance, etc. Actually, a lower view distance will help A LOT. I always laugh at the people who insist on ultra-high framerates. Unless...

Don't hold your breath. I don't really have any hopes for 1.6 as I've only recently started playing 1.5. Mostly I just hope that mods and texture packs get a chance to update to 1.6 before Mojang releases 1.7.

I don't know of any other methods than Turtles or Liquid Transposers. Turtles really aren't that complicated, especially for simple tasks like filling buckets. A liquid transposer would be easier, but it does require some MJ power so it's not a perfect solution.

The Interactive Sorter from MiscPeripherals can be used as an Item Detector fairly easily. It doesn't even require all that much code. As far as I can tell, the only RP2 feature that is currently impossible to duplicate with other mods is Frames. Although that may not be the case for long.

I'd heard about that Frames alternative as well, Hyperme. I'm definitely keeping an eye on it, because it seems like the closest match to RP2 frames in terms of functionality. Plus it has some extra features that look interesting. As for other things, I second the mention of Turtles for...
