    1000 things to do in Modded mc.

    Make a machine that crafts everything craftable from cobblestone without using any form of piping. Piping in additional items (such as redstone torches for comparators or rotten flesh for blood-stained blocks) and piping out the end products (glass, smooth sandstone, stone brick slabs...) is...

    Logistic Pipes and ME

    Well, you could use three supplier and one provider pipe and still have two sides to access the chest. For what purpouse do you need all the items in just one chest? I don't think, it's for autocrafting for there is no recipe wanting more than nine items. Same goes for the various machines (MFR...

    Logistic Pipes and ME

    The quicksort module switches through every item type it finds in the inventory and searches for a valid destination in the LP network. The passive supplier only provides a valid target and does not request things itself. So the time between searches for stone increases with every type of item...

    Guide: Most efficient Mob essence farm with snow golems (EASY TO BUILD)

    I use block placer from MFR instead of the AAs. I never had the problem of blocks placed too high or too low. They seem to be synchonized, too, so as long as there is snow in the lower both placers, the pumpkin is always placed last (maybe the blocks tick on rising Y-coordinates or the pumpkin...

    What's the best use of buildcraft fuel?

    You're talking about 1.5.2, I'm talking about 1.6.4. Your 22% was possible then but isn't anymore (and yes, I know how percentages are calculated, I just couldn't find a source for your numbers;)). The thread I posted is still up to date. You sould really read it to the end. Then you'll find a...

    What's the best use of buildcraft fuel?

    Where did you get that formula from? What do the elevens and nines stand for? Here you will find actual calculators for boilers: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/the-final-word-on-steam-boiler-efficiency.13506/ Since the great overhaul the production of steam scales with the temperature...

    Applied Energistics - IC2 Experimental UU

    I actually use those tunnels only for liquids. I supply a refinery, compression dynamos, TE portable/BC/railcraft tanks and a carpenter. It's not as precise as the logistic pipes liquid provider/supplier/satellite but works fairly well. Maybe you could use a liquid provider pipe as target for...

    Applied Energistics - IC2 Experimental UU

    No need for extra cells. Just use the ME p2p tunnel. Those nice gadgets are used to transfer liquids, items, RF and more from one single input through the ME cables to one or more output point(s).

    What's the best use of buildcraft fuel?

    @willis936: Your concept may have been effectve in the older days, but now the amount of steam produced depends on the heat level of the boiler whereas the fuel consumption is constant. So the boiler needs to reach a certain temperature to overcome the fuel efficiency of a compression dynamo or...

    AE Automation and Modpack Migration

    Watch the latest DW20 server play. He actually does exactly that: Automated tesseract production.

    Or you could put an energy cell between your power production and the consumers. If it's constantly dry you need more dynamos.

    Applied Energistics 2 - The Preview

    I like the precalculation of autocrafting most. That way you don't need to watch the crafting monitor anymore. You'll know instantly if a craft is possible (like in LP). Maybe this change does enable LP to craft in AE. If that was the case, my minecraft world would be perfect.

    Logistics Pipes Autocrafting Question

    In the chassis method, an extracted item searches for the highest priority and the nearest target. It lead too far, explaining priorities and routing calculations here in the forums. Maybe you read the LP wiki instead or watch DW20's great three part mod spotlight. To speed the autocrafting...

    Logistics Pipes Autocrafting Question

    First, don't use extractor modules/pipes. The crafting product needs to enter the network as a result of the crafting request. The crafting pipe should extract the product itself. Second, your production chain is broken. The two compressors need crafting pipes, too. The Itemsink modules do not...

    Logistics Pipes Autocrafting Question

    You could have a supplier pipe on a chest to keep stored serveral diamonds. That way the system would recraft them as soon as you pull some out. If you want infinite diamonds, put another chest (or barrel) nearby and pull the diamonds out of the first chest as soon as they arrive. IMPORTANT! The...

    What's new in modded minecraft today?

    Nope. This tank really doesn't work well with logistic pipes. The liquid suppliers only sees what amount is missing in the one block it's connected to but all fluid put into it is divided to all blocks on the same level so e.g. on a 3x3x3 tank only 1/9 of the requested fluid is in the adjacent...

    Mod Books

    I do not like the API idea. That way each author has to include just another Mod and has to do all the work on his own. And as soon as the API changes, all sucks up. I'd prefer the Bookmod being a kind of simple html parser (surely something like that is included in java already, no?). The mod...
