Well that's good news, no loss of Tin in that case! I have considered Sugar -> Carbon Cell for making Methane, it seems quite good at first glance, but I didn't check the math yet to see how it compares to grinding up Charcoal.

If you use the GregTech crafting table, you should retain all the cells -- I have not tried it with this particular recipe though.

Pumpkins are inserted into the top of the Centrifuge, are they not taking for you?

I ran a Mumble server for a while. On the server side, it has excellent quality and lower latency than Teamspeak or Ventrilo, but can consume more bandwidth -- all depending on how you set it up, of course. I never admin a TS or Vent server so I can't really make a comparison between the server...

Can dungeon chests contain the materials for books? I don't think so in vanilla, but their treasure tables have been modified quite a bit by FTB. Another option would be to find an NPC village or Stronghold, and break the bookshelves for books. All of these can be very difficult to find of course...

To get the most EUs out of any fuel, it's pretty much always best to burn it in a Railcraft Boiler, then turn the MJ into EU via Magma Crucible to make lava to power Thermal Generator. Of course, it takes a not-insubstantial amount of infrastructure to do this, but once the up-front cost is paid...

I'm going to guess your power / machine room is intersected by a chunk border? I've seen this very thing happen a few times on the server I admin, where a massive amount of BC power builds up in pipes, and it was seemingly because some chunks got unloaded and the power had nowhere to go. It...

It would have been nice if the expensive Pulverizer and Smelter recipes were enabled in the MindCrack pack (adds diamonds to the cost) as it makes the early game much more balanced between IC2 and TE. Too late now I guess. And the Filler has always been OP, even since the BC2 days. I'm looking...

If the Hobbyist's engine is connected to an energy conduit, it will never blow up due to excess power stored, even if the power isn't getting used by anything.

Were you actually fuelling a full sized boiler from your biofuel setup, though? Hydrogen is possibly interesting as a boiler fuel, as you can make it just out of water with the electrolyzer. But I don't know the heatvalue offhand so maybe it won't be possible to get more energy out than it...

I came up with a way to power a 36 HP Liquid boiler using just 1 pumpkin farm. I use the Industrial Centrifuge to turn 16 pumpkins into 1 Methane Cell, which has 18K heat in a liquid boiler (burn time ~57 seconds). It requires 5 Centrifuges as they each produce 1 Methane per 250 seconds. So the...

Last I checked, to keep a fermenter supplied needed 3 cactus or reed farms, which take up 21x21x5 each, though maybe with efficient farm layouts 2 would be enough. I think to power the harvester, fermenter and stills to produce biofuel will eat up around the same 20 MJ/t as I'm using to make...

I believe you should be able to break through it in Creative mode. I have not tried this in recent versions of MFFS, though.

You can revert to earlier versions of any modpack. In the 'Edit Mod Pack' screen, 'Modpack Version' tab, choose the version you want. The launcher will download it and you should be good to go.

I set this up in MindCrack v4, and confirm it works in v6, so yes this is with nerfed solid fuels. I really doubt you can build a full biofuel production area in less space -- the scrap machine in my design takes up 5W x 12L x 5H to fully fuel 1 boiler, and I didn't make any effort to compact it...

Looks like Direwolf20 v2 already had pre2a1, note the jar is labelled 'ee3-universal-pre1e.jar' but the mcmod version is pre2a1. I'm not certain entirely which version it is, exactly, but it seems to be the same version between v2 and v3 of Direwolf20 pack.

Thanks for that, looks like it was just a typo on my part.

OK, I took a pass at MindCrack v4 -> v6 changes, let me know if I missed something.

I created a machine that fuels a RailCraft 36HP boiler using Scrap from IC2 Recyclers. As with any Boiler setup, you will need a large surplus of fuel to heat the boiler but otherwise it is entirely self-contained and will require absolutely no external input once the Boiler is fully heated...

I also don't see MindCrack v5 in my launcher anymore. I'll update the OP, thanks for the report Puremin0rez.
