    Not sure if it's been fixed, but wrath lamps have other issues as well, like messing with multiblock formation and tree growth, due to the invisible "light blocks" they use to illuminate such a large area.

    AE and deep storage unit

    That works, but if you ever completely empty out a DSU and the Storage Bus isn't set to a specific item, something else might get dumped in there instead.

    Depends on what you're looking for. If you're a beginner who has no idea how to get started, I'd recommend crafting a Thaumonomicon, which is filled with instructions on how to do stuff in Thaumcraft. All you need is a Wand of the Apprentice (which has a recipe in NEI) and a bookcase. Place...

    Renuable netherrack?

    Everything you just said was said before. :D But yeah, it's kind of neat that there are now some renewable ways to generate almost everything. Except apparently Netherrack in 1.5.2.

    Renuable netherrack?

    This has been mentioned a bunch of times already. People have mostly been talking about how to get the materials needed for a Soul Forge without going to the Nether, since it needs glowstone and soul sand.

    Sorting System for Next World

    The method I used in my last post would be pretty simple to implement, as long as you don't move stuff around in the Ender Chest so everything ends up in the right slots. Then you don't need to compare anything. You just have it pull out the stack, see how many items are in it, add more if...

    Welp, elo's alive

    Yeah, this is pretty much what I thought. While RP2 has its problems, it's not really indicative of Eloraam's coding ability given all the amazing work she's put into Forge.

    I'd offer my advice but I recently generated a Desert/ExHills/ExEdge world that somehow had an alpine biome and two extra suns, so...yeah. Oh, hell with it, I'll offer advice anyway. No guarantees though. So, flat orchard eternal day? Link Panel Orchard Biome Single Biome Flat Zero Length...

    Welp, elo's alive

    I think you can. Not entirely sure, but I don't see why not.

    AE and deep storage unit

    Nope. You could (maybe) use a router, but then your items wouldn't be stored within your ME system and you wouldn't be able to request them from a terminal. But honestly, what do you need sixty DSUs for? I have maybe 8 of them, storing all the super-abundant materials like dirt, cobble...

    Sorting System for Next World

    Ah, sorry, I confused you with the OP who was asking about 1.5 stuff. Well, if you're still on 1.4.7, you've got a number of other options due to having Wireless Redstone. Instead of keeping the chest stocked automatically, which would admittedly be difficult with AE, you could pulse a...

    Renuable netherrack?

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It's pretty much just "set and forget." All you need to do is provide it with fuel (a lava-powered engine has basically infinite fuel in the Nether) and tracks.

    This is why I'm still using my ethanol in combustion engines rather than in a boiler. I even wrote up a nifty ComputerCraft program that turns my engines off when my Redstone Energy Cells are full, and turns them back on when the power gets low. I try not to waste a single MJ.

    Sorting System for Next World

    Yeah, that's the one thing it's missing. Inventory turtles are from the MiscPeripherals mod. Although now that I've read up on it a bit, I can see it doesn't quite do what I thought it did. They can't see into inventories, they can only pull stuff out and put stuff in. If FTB adds...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Yeah, you're right that power becomes a major issue if you want speed in IC2. I actually rarely use IC2 machines any more. Most of the useful ones have equivalent TE or Buildcraft machines. Even the Massfab can be replaced with the MFR Mining Laser now. Chainsaw/Drill/etc. can be replaced...

    Welp, elo's alive

    Isn't he working on a microblocks mod too? One with better performance than RP2 or Immibis microblocks? Or at least I swear I saw someone mention it elsewhere, although he might have been talking about the circuit library you mentioned. Honestly though, the only thing I really miss from RP2...

    Sorting System for Next World

    You can set up an ME Interface to keep a certain amount of stuff stocked within it, then have an Inventory Turtle keep track of what's in the Ender Chest and pull items out of the interface to restock the chest as needed. Or you might be able to pull off something with an ME Bridge peripheral...

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    I was talking the black and white bricks that were used in the pictures I posted, which were in fact Railcraft abyssal and quarried bricks.

    Welp, elo's alive

    This argument is ridiculous. This thread is ridiculous. Eloraam's defenders and detractors are all ridiculous.

    Welp, elo's alive

    To be fair, this is probably entirely Xycraft's fault. I'm playing 1.5.2 currently (obviously without Xycraft) and caves are much less colorful than they were when I was playing FTB Ultimate.
