The thing about TiC fortune is that it only takes one slot. So you can fairly easily have both very fast AND very lucky hammers/picks. What's slightly trickier is getting autosmelting on it, so you get fortune on ingots as well.

Back in the day (1.2.5) IC2 used to be have the best power architecture. Not only mass fabs, but teleporters, MFFS and overclocked advanced machines for instant processing. You'd be surprised at just how much power a rotary macerator with 12 overclockers could draw. Back in the day my preferred...

What you have to do is take the Energy Crystal that comes out of the compressor (the one with the 0/10000000 EU notation) and replace the energy crystal in the AE crafting recipe with it.

It's most likely the fluiduct you have connected to the tesseract in the overworld. Tessaracts aren't inventories. You don't need an output connection on that fluiduct for it to work.

Yeah, I have a design right now for a multiblock structure that will produce infinite dyes by cycling dyed wool through pulverizers and cyclic assembers. It's pretty compact and I've got the design down to a 16x4x3 structure.

Yup. If you shift click while the pattern encoder ui is open, it fills in the pattern for you just like if you shift click in a crafting table.

I wouldn't say I liked it necessarily, but it never really bothered me. And I don't recall reading many complaints about it before TC4 came out either. Most of the complaints and frustrations that I saw people post about was having to throw out research note after research note because they were...

The thing is, most of us complaining are complaining precisely because we WANT to like it. We liked it before, and assumed that we would continue to so. But the most recent changes are, in many ways, sapping the fun out of critical parts of the mod that makes the later stuff (which is still fun...

Oh, that's intriguing. I never really got into the IC2 crop breeding stuff, but if they make a viable source of constant dyes I might try that out. As an alternative farming method, you could also try setting up a bunch of automated apiaries next to an MFR harvester with upgrades. As the bees...

Blue isn't too hard to collect though. It's just lapis, and your automining setup should produce a decent amount of the stuff. However, the "auto-dye" factory is something new that I'll have to try out later. Been working on designing one for bonemeal, but I never even thought about doing it...

Yeah, I don't really know what's informing the research design in the Thaumcraft 4, but between impossible researches and the new aspect scanning mechanic, it's just not fun. I've been trying to research gold caps and I had to throw away 4 different researches because they were probably not...

I'm not 100% certain, but I think I remember that cables of different voltages don't connect directly to each other. And they have other variables (like packet loss) that dictates whether they are completely suitable for use irrespective of the voltage they carry.

Not to derail the thread, but I can't even imagine only having 4 dynamos. I'm running 40 steam dynamos and 20 magmatic dynamos. The magmatics are a backup in case my tree farms break down for some reason. My idle energy draw is around 1300 RF at the moment, but I'm about to add another quarry...

Quite possibly he is. In the sense that a consistent and even experience is more balanced than wildly swinging from underpowered to crazily high powered options.

Oh man, I know what I'm going to be doing tomorrow.

That's not generally the reason I see structures being made as multiblocks. Most multiblocks in minecraft exist for purely aesthetic reasons. Let's take the Coke Oven. The extra surface area is entirely unneeded. You only really need 3 contact points anyway. Or the classic multiblock of nuclear...

Ah, ok. That simplifies my design ideas a little bit. Although I disagree that any multiblock that needs more than 10,000RF/t should be fed from multiple connection points. That kinda defeats the point of having a multiblock in the first place in my opinion.

The problem we're pointing out is that TE is the testbed for RF. If TE doesn't introduce at least a bit of tiered power production, it is unlikely that some third party modder will step in to remedy the situation. Not everyone is imaginative enough to think of how to expand the flexibility in RF...

While I disagree that the whole system is "boring" I do understand where the OP is going about RF production in TE3. See, making 20 steam dynamos and creating a tree farm to power them is great. Making another 20 when you expand your base is fine too. When you get to making 60 of them or 100...

While the indexer has limited search capability, an AE system connected to the indexer with a storage has very robust search capability.
