    By checking your tank to see if it's filling up?

    Store liquid in pipe?

    I know, it's just not easy to find the problem without a good overview of his system. Hmmmyes. And what's the effect?

    Store liquid in pipe?

    A single biogas engine is not enough to fully power a single fermenter, let alone 3.

    Problems with Forestry

    I have no issues feeding stuff into squeezers using AE export busses. Have you tried those?

    Store liquid in pipe?

    Seems you're producing about the same amount as you're consuming.

    Bee question

    I use a single mutator with uranium (the raw stuff, the compressed ingots don't work) and a frame housing with a single oblivion frame. It's quite lovely. With all the bees Extra Bees en Magic Bees add you really can't do it the oldfashioned forestry-only way. That would take ages.

    looking for a lot of free power

    Because it's getting fixed in the next version. So it's a bug / oversight.

    New to FTB, have a few questions

    1) I don't use all the mods in the pack but there's no real reason to switch them off. If you don't like something you can just not use them. Unlike Unhinged there are no mods that try to 'convert' the playing experience. 2) See above; just leave them on. No point in switching them off. 3) I...

    Minecraft 1.7

    Actually; the reputation of 'bad performance' stems from back in the days when we had Java 1.1 which really was purely interpreted bytecode and then with 1.2 and the introduction of the disaster that was Swing. We're more than a decade further not and with in-VM compilation of bytecode to native...

    Minecraft 1.7

    That's obvious. I am a Java dev, have been since 1998. I am now in charge of a small team of developers, also working in Java. I know damn well what the strengths and weaknesses of Java are therefor I can have an 'opinion' on this matter. As a hobby project I also wrote a Minecraft level viewer...

    looking for a lot of free power

    It doesn't matter if people are in the chunk or not. It's still a relatively expensive calculation. If you remove a lava block it recalculates light levels in a 15 radius sphere. THAT is what causes the server strain. Unfortunately many people think it's the moving textures.

    Minecraft 1.7

    That's bloody obvious. Don't make this kinds of statements then. Seriously, it makes you look completely ignorant. What you're saying is completely nonsense, you are just voicing the opinion of someone who for some reason has a dislike of the language. There are many programmers that have these...

    Minecraft 1.7

    The bottleneck in Minecraft isn't Java. Besides, with modern JIT compilers the difference between native and bytecode-compiled-to-native is hardly noticable. Any language has it's pro's and con's but saying that it's the "shiznittiest coding language" is just complete bollocks. And no, Java...

    Alternative to RP2 pneumatic tubes

    Yup. They work basically the same. You can use barrels or DSU's just fine with them.

    RedPower Mag Tubes - MAC launcher idea

    You'll have to test the RP stuff for yourself but BC pipes just randomly spread the items around.

    Alternative to RP2 pneumatic tubes

    What's complex about diamond pipes? In my base they dump items coming in into Deep Storage Units which are tied into my AE network. IMHO they form an incredibly powerful combination.
