    mfr tree farm

    Either saw the logs into planks or burn them into charcoal AND turn the saplings into ethanol. One fair sized tree farm = at least one solid fuel boiler and one liquid.

    Tinker's Construct - Essence Berry

    Several mods add uses for a fluid xp. Open blocks autoanvil/enchanter/xp bottler. Minefactory reloaded adds a bunch. Liquid XP is a whole mod based around it. Or you could just use the essence and store it in a Dartcraft experience tome.

    Oil/Fuel usage

    If you think that you can obtain or create enough oil/fuel, then a steam boiler would create vast amounts of energy. Just remember that a boiler needs a constant supply, it's not something you want to turn on and off because that will eat up more fuel.

    My Little "Picture-Through"

    As an idea for possible mob grinder build. Until you get a division sigil and create a curse earth spawner, remember that Rotarycraft adds a bedrock pickaxe that can pick up mob spawners. ;)

    Even better... toss a lava crystal upgrade on it.. then add max lapis. Give it a try.

    How to taint and control tainted areas?

    I don't believe so. Since the taint changes the biome, I have read that it can jump gaps. I think you would need a sizeable gap to prevent the taint from spreading. And that gap would probably have to go to bedrock because the taint could just spread across the bottom, even across the...

    How to taint and control tainted areas?

    Taint will spread across any biome unless stopped. Taint will change the biome. Silverwoods stop taint with an area like an aura. Shimmerleaf does nothing to taint, you want the Etherial Bloom through thaumcraft research. I havent found any tainted nodes yet so I'm not sure, but I imagine that...

    MJ/RF with solar energy/something else without maintenance

    Moving a single pump once every few weeks is pretty dam low maintenance. For the ease at which it produces a reliable energy source, most people consider it worth it, if boring. The debate between forestry and mfr is a good one. MFR is cheaper to build and to startup, but if you want to work...

    How to taint and control tainted areas?

    ... cute and evil... Watching a devil chicken attacking everything in sight can be fun though. You can use Etherial Blooms and Silverwood trees to contain and/or control taint. The only way I can think of to create taint in a new area would be to silktouch some and move it.

    Has anyone figured out an optimal setup with Big Reactors yet?

    Hrm... I thought I had pulled the design from a post on here a few weeks ago. Anyhoo it's a 7x7x7 frame with 5 fuel rods in an X shape in the center. Filled with water. I automated the insertion of yellorum and extraction of cyanite which I reprocessed into blutonium. It produced a constant...

    MJ/RF with solar energy/something else without maintenance

    No-maintenance is a little subjective. Pumping the nether, tree farm to planks/charcoal/ethanol, Big Reactor, all of these things can be set up to be very very low maintenance if any. Kind of a set it up and forget it kind of thing. The only things that I can think of that are completely no...

    Has anyone figured out an optimal setup with Big Reactors yet?

    I did store it :D, but after filling up 5 Redstone Energy Cells (10mil RF each) I was trying to preserve some yellorum for when I might need it later.

    Has anyone figured out an optimal setup with Big Reactors yet?

    I only used the reactor control rods to throttle the power back because it was producing too much. I had no problem with heat.

    Has anyone figured out an optimal setup with Big Reactors yet?

    I'm a little confused by your dimentions... how could you have a reactor thats 1x1x4? Or are you just describing the fuel rods themselves? What I can say for sure is that I built a 7x7x7 reactor with 5 fuel rods and cooled with water. It was producing a constant 1300 RF/tick

    Dumb Tricks - Dumb/OP Mod Interactions Edition

    Ya that's where I saw the first mention. But seeing how far people have been going with it here I thought it might be relevant to bring up. And wasn't it supposed to empty itself of water at some point? I thought I read that in a description somewhere.
