    Methane from Charcoal?

    I wonder if the Manager from RedPower would be useful to keep things distributed/stocked automatically... and now I wonder how the Manager works when connected to Factorization's Packager. Off to test! :D I'd check out the GregTech automation blocks, it adds an Electric Crafting Table along with...

    Pulverizer is better than Macerator In GregTec

    Again, I ran almost 6400 Gravel through the Rock Crusher to get ~70 gold nuggets and 0 diamonds, <1% chance on both is not really helpful when you have almost 2 orders of magnitude of difference between the two. Maybe I got extremely unlucky though...

    So what can you NOT make an infinite amount of stuff from in a sufficiently advanced factory?

    They can be created by UUM, also from other ways too (scrapboxes)

    Dragon Egg is about the only thing I know of that cannot be produced in some way.

    What does YOUR Power Room look like?

    For EU production from Steam, I recommend Magma Crucible -> Thermal Generator over Steam Turbine. 144 MJ/t will power 7 Magma Crucible, with 4 MJ/t left over being more than sufficient for the Liquid Transposer. Magma Crucible produces 1 lava every 1000 tick, and the Thermal Generator consumes...

    Methane from Charcoal?

    Peppe, nice setup! I thought of some possible tweaks for you: You can use a Packager + Transposer to create Sandstone, saving a block over autocraft table+woodenpipe+redstoneengine. Perhaps feed the Sandstone and Niter into a Hopper on top of the Pulverizer, I guess the Iron Pipe trick works...

    Efficient biofuel usage- boiler or engines?

    That would be me :) Scrap-fired boiler math: A recycler has a 12.5% chance of producing scrap and a 45 tick cycle time, so it will produce 1 scrap on average every 45*8 = 360 ticks Scrap provides 350 heat and so is consumed in 350/15.84 = 22 ticks by the boiler. This means that 360/22 = 16.4...

    Mindcrack Lapis Lazuli ?

    Keep in mind Lapis Ore is rarer than Diamond Ore, and spawns over a larger y-axis range, so indeed it can be difficult to find.

    Efficient biofuel usage- boiler or engines?

    By the way, the math for boilers is all on the RC wiki: http://railcraft.wikispaces.com/Steam+Boiler+%28Device%29 To see how long a fuel will burn, just use the formula there: Base Fuel Usage Per Tick (base) = ( (6.4 - numTanks * 0.08) / ( 16 LP or 8 HP ) ) * numTanks You will need to know the...

    Mod makers nowdays...

    Note, that there are no normal wither skeleton spawners, and the current behavior with normal skeleton spawners in the Nether is a bug that is being fixed.

    Mindcrack - Gregtech easy mode

    Are you playing SMP or SSP? What particular item(s) are still using the hard recipe?

    Pulverizer is better than Macerator In GregTec

    Factorization is neat but the 20 minute cycle time on the Crystallizer combined with the large amount of blocks needed to run the whole ore processing line is a big turn-off for me. I find it is good for Barrels, Pocket Crafting Table, and the Slag Furnace for your first few ores... but that's...

    You can load Villagers into Minecarts :)

    Methane from Charcoal?

    Yes, but the Forester produces Sand naturally. I think it is self-sufficient without any external Sand input but I didn't test that yet. Also, I don't believe that Steve's Carts will farm Rubber Trees, though I could be wrong? I wasn't able to get it working but I haven't done much tests with...

    Methane from Charcoal?

    Peppe, do you think it would be better to make Humus from Saltpeter fertilizer which you can get by Pulverizing Sandstone -> Niter? I guess it will take more energy that way, but it's a much smaller and more compact setup than a wheat farm. Speaking of compact setups! 20 Recyclers is an...

    Methane from Charcoal?

    Did you see my Scrap-fueled Boiler design? It can keep a 36 HP boiler fueled for ~18 EU/t input, that is to say it produces 8 MJ per 1 EU.

    Pulverizer is better than Macerator In GregTec

    There are at least 3 ways to get Glowstone without going to the Nether ;) And indeed it's a big shame the expensive Pulverizer and Induction Smelter recipes were not turned on for MindCrack pack to go along with GregTech hardmodes.

    Helping Users Sync to Server's Mod Versions

    Short answer: Not easily. Long answer: Most mods don't allow you to redistribute them even for private use without permission, so if you don't get permission, the only way to have someone sync their client is have each and every enduser explicitly download the correct version of each and every...

    Methane from Charcoal?

    Methane appears to have a heat value of 18000, though NEI is not showing the values anymore for it.
