    1.5.1 Beta Pack-DIY Edition (now with 1.5.2)

    I think I did something wrong. :p

    Industrial Grinder + Aqueous Accumulator?

    It's probably just a texture pack thing.

    1.5.1 Beta Pack: Are U Looking Forward To It?

    True, I wouldn't assume "barely anyone uses it", just because I never touch the "Rail" aspect of it. Especially when not everyone is using a modpack that replaces so many functions of minecarts with easier options.

    1.5.1 Beta Pack: Are U Looking Forward To It?

    You don't. It's nice to be able to mix in some reinforced casings from the start but not necessary at all. IMO, using one machine from RailCraft to make other mods easier, while intentionally avoiding the bulk of RailCraft doesn't count as "using RailCraft". Also, you can get some steel to...

    So? Even one of the weakest upgrades makes it 9x9.

    Biofuel Question

    Rather than waste tons of steel on a steam turbine you can also use magma crucible -> (geo)thermal generator or fisher->centrifuge fish into methane->gas turbine (req. GregTech and MFR). Or diesel generators. Or power converters for the easy way of course. Depends what a "full base" consists...

    bee frames

    Automating frames is specifically designed to be impossible in apiaries. Use an alveary with frame housings.

    Xycraft soil

    I just tested it, only under the stalk and it worked fine.

    Ladders!

    I just tried the MFR one. No luck there either. Don't know what the purple frame looking block breaker is... What I tried first with turtles was turtle.dig(). I just tried a melee turtle and that killed the turret but did not pick up the item.

    Ladders!

    Um, what? The only part of that I could see using those for is picking the turrets back up, and neither of those will do that for me. Anyway, you could recycle the turrets by dropping them through lava held by signs, then water held up by signs, then a drop long enough to kill them. They will...

    Ladders!

    Be sure to use explosive resistant materials; they explode in lava. EDIT: Never mind, it pretty much only breaks dirt.

    Am I the only one who cringes......

    Who still uses vanilla furnaces when they have a boiler? In case I assumed incorrectly that you're using heat for a boiler, you should at least be using an iron furnace by the time you have so much as a single hobbyist steam engine.

    Potion throwing human.....

    That explains why the only way I've ever seen a witch is by transforming a skeleton druid.

    How to lure cows back over water?

    Still not as cheap as a Safari Net though, as long as you are able to kill a ghast without resorting to high tech stuff like jetpacks. Also in the version of MFR in Ultimate 1.0.2 there are single use safari nets that don't require going to the nether at all.

    NEI machines?

    For a carpenter specifically, look up one of the recipes in NEI (e.g. check the recipe for a Crated Apatite), then click the black bar next to the icon of what is being crafted to see all carpenter recipes. Lots of machines (like GregTech ones) let you click on the progress bar to view all the...

    How to lure cows back over water?

    If you can get a ghast tear, use a safari net.

    Unique Energy, Your Set-Ups and Plans.

    Still takes the same amount of energy per fish. 1 Stirling Engine is the slowest way I can think of to provide a known amount of power (in my test, 1600 MJ from 1 charcoal). It produced almost 2 fish, which is consistent with the number here: http://ftbwiki.org/Fisher I doubt it would work any...

    Unique Energy, Your Set-Ups and Plans.

    Methane is actually even worse in a boiler.
