    Hungry Nodes, how to recognize?

    A hungry node looks like a doughnut. It's darker in the center than on the rim.

    Sorting & Ore Processing

    When you actually request one circuit from the crafting core yourself, it crafts one assembly, sends it to the furnace and delivers the result. The problem is not, that the system keeps crafting, but that it keeps requesting: The export bus places item x in adjacent inventory until it's full...

    Sorting & Ore Processing

    Yep. You could do that kinda simmilar approach, but it's not quite the same: In LP, you take 20 glass, 20 sand is sent to the furnace and you get 20 new glass. In AE, you take 20 glass and the export bus keeps stuffing the furnace with sand until it cooked 20 glass. This way you get 20+64 new...

    Sorting & Ore Processing

    Yes, I know. But still it has no (practicable) option to have a certain amount of something somewhere. If you want to have 2 stacks of glass available all the time, in LP you simply hook a supplier pipe to an inventory (in additon to the item sink and provider module) and make it request 128...

    Reading railcraft tank infos with computercraft

    I'm running latest Direwolf20 pack and hooked a computer to a valve of a RC iron tank. I tried to read the tank's info with open peripheral, but instead of the expected table, the getTankInfo() method (recommended on various tuts I read) only delivers a string value. I thried both "unknown" and...

    Sorting & Ore Processing

    For Storage: AE (fast, no space; you can make a full system with three blocks), Barrels and DSUs from MFR For Sorting (production supply): As long as AE doesn't handle liquids, I'll always go for logistic pipes. LP simply routes liquids through the normal item pipes in little energy-capsules...

    DW 1.6.4 pack - Logistic Pipes

    You have to hook the remote orderer to a remote orderer logistics pipe so the system knows where to send the items too. This pipe then points to the ender chest linked to your ender pouch.

    Thermal Expansion 3.0!!! No More Beta! Thanks KL!

    Maybe because TE originally was an addon to BC and some people still seem to think, breaking with MJ was a blasphemy. It just doesn't seem right to some people, TE machines not to be powered by MJ.:confused: It becomes really funny the other way round. I saw a complain of someone about conduits...

    Thermal Expansion 3.0 Tesseract Energy Cap?

    Well, nice to hear. Somehow I missed that.

    Thermal Expansion 3.0 Tesseract Energy Cap?

    Nope. As for liquids there is no cap in the tesseract itself. If you attach four redstone energy conduits (on four different sides ofc), it transfers 4k MJ. Of course you have to subtract the transfer cost.

    Hello, I'd like to share with you all how storing energy in BuildCraft works.

    The one and only true MJ storing device is the kinesis pipe. This is a natural result from the way, MJ works. The machine requests a package of energy from its adjacent pipe. If the pipe has enough energy, it gives it to the machine and requests this amount from the next segment until there is a...

    Thermal Expansion 3.0!!! No More Beta! Thanks KL!

    @Sam Cooper: Maybe you could try a different approach and send an energy cell to the machine: - place an energy cell above a hopper - place an Autonomous Activator next to it facing the cell - load the cell - give the activator a wrench and have it shift-right-click when the cell is fully loaded...
