I believe there's a red power block that can be set to store a specific number of items in a chest. I'm not sure what it's called, maybe a retriever or something. Basically, you'd hook it up to your storage system and it would keep the attached chest stocked with exactly the parameters you set...

Has anyone had any experience with this problem?

Using unrecognized tree blocks would be futile, as eventually the logger may be updated to accept new tree types. The microblock idea would be the best solution if you're unable/unwilling to move the logger further away. Use a handsaw to make panels or covers and replace the missing blocks with...

For EU it depends if I'm building on the surface. I'm fond of building secret underground bunkers, so I tend to lean towards nuclear for those. Above ground I prefer solar (either compact or advanced solars). I tend to use lava as a backup, I end up with a large tank of lava from my IC2 miners...

I made a map item, full sized it and filled it out. Then I made a copy of it. The map and it's copy ended up in the same chest and stacked. Since then they're both blank and unresponsive. Is there anyway to fix them or should I hop back into my zeplin and make a new one?

I've got a similar issue with my farms. I get a bunch of cows or chickens, load up the auto feeders (2 for each pen) and then come back later to find either the same number or less. I started wondering if it had something to do with the small pen size (5x5) and maybe new animals where...

Hey guys, I recently used a Traincraft zeplin to map the area around my base, was probably the quickest map I've ever filled out. Sadly it seams to have broken since I accidentally shift clicked it into a chest with the copy of that map. Since they stacked together, neither map seams to work...

Yeah honestly I've got so much aluminum and lead... The only thing I've been having trouble keeping in stock is gold and rubies. GT requires a lot of chrome for stuff so I end up macerating all my rubies.

That makes sense then, I'll just automate scrap into it then. 1 or 2 recyclers should be able to keep up with a matter fabricator being fed from a single Ultimate solar.

Yeah, I get what amplification does. I'm just not sure what the difference is between the values of different amplification. Does more amplification mean you use less EU than something with less? Or does it simply just last longer? If it simply means scrapboxes last longer than scrap, but...

How does the amplification factor in? Does 5000 vs 40000 make it more effiecient for EU usage or just last longer?

Personally, I like to fortune III diamonds for solid diamonds. I get a ton of diamond dust from putting nikolite ore in the industrial grinder.

excellent advice, thanks all!

Thanks Evil, that helps somewhat. Btw, which side of the Matter Fab do you pump in the scrap and which side do you pull UU out?

I've been feeding my matterfab off my machine room power supply for a while now (feeding it manually with stacks of scrap/scrapboxes) and I've got enough UU to make a Ultimate solar. I'd like to set up my matter fabricator on my roof, ideally in a tightly packed and space efficient way. Problem...

I wish I had more things to do with my gregtech aluminum. Currently I have nearly 20 stacks of it in a barrel... It's a nuisance to me now as I end up with stacks of dust from my endeavors to get titanium. It should be able to make machine blocks instead of refined iron or something useful.

You could make a piston funnel. basically you begin with an area the size of their spawn range and then place a 1 wide ledge around the sides for them to land, this ledge has pressure plates linked to pistons 1 block higher which pushes them into the middle. The next layer is the same but...

"This sentence only makes sense, if you use 0 OC. 40 ticks/production, 45 ticks/consumption. With 1 OC you would need to use 5 extruders for every 4 recyclers to reach balance." I prefer to place the igneous extruder on top of the recycler with the output facing downwards. Pipes can be messy...
