    The lag - I hate it. Tips for lag reduction?

    Disclaimer: I am answering this post with multiplayer in mind. This is only applicable when your server is located somewhere in the internet. This post may be TL;DR for some people. In which case, skip to The Workaround section. More bandwidth is not enough. Connection with low latency is...

    Redpower 2 Frame Machines

    I currently have 3 different frame machines operating on 3 different Ages, all with different designs. Here's my version of Direwolf20's mining well machine... This uses a 6-axis engine, and is computer-controlled from the Overworld. The 6-axis engine is an EG-Drive Mk6.4 (the plans...

    Best mining method?

    If that's your definition of "ripping off", then we might as well call ourselves criminals for using open source projects. LOL

    Applied Energistic Storage Room!

    This is my current setup for autocrafting water buckets and water cells: I have 2 Item IO ports: the input port is blue, the output port is orange. The input port can accept empty buckets or an empty cell. This is the contents of that ME Interface: And there you have it.

    Epic Fail stories

    I died by falling in a void age while wearing a fully charged Quantum/Gravisuit. I lagged and accidentally hit the key for the Gravisuit. ~_~

    Best mining method?

    I wish I knew about this command sooner. I had to write my own from scratch with the exact same functionality. ~_~

    Applied Energistic Storage Room!

    You could make your life simpler by using Xycraft tanks filled with water using Xychorium Water, then have your AE network interact with the tank using 2 Item IO's (one for the ME interface, the other for pulling out the bucket via an import bus).

    mining well on frames

    That's weird. I can view the images. I'll post the pics via imgur once I have access to my machine. I built this on a server on Ultimate. It's very similar to DW20's, but I wrote the turtle program from scratch, and it's using an EG-Drive Mk6.4 to move around. Here's the vid on how to build...

    Solid Boilers after 1.5.1. Wood source?

    Supplying fertilizer is the most annoying part of a Forestry farm. If you want a maintenance-free system, MFR is your best choice. In the end, that depends on what you feel is "Balanced". Balance for my case is not an issue, for I have far more annoying problems to tackle. Having my tree farms...

    Solid Boilers after 1.5.1. Wood source?

    MFR + Xychorium Soil. Insane wood production. Bwahahaha!

    AE, storage disks, and priority

    You can control which ones get filled up first by changing the priority of the ME Drives, Chest, and Storage Buses. Shift+right click with a wrench to bring up the GUI. Based on my experiments, Preformatted storage will have a higher priority than the others on the same network. I have not...

    Just not having fun, too overwhelmed

    Some of my friends have been pushing me to make a Let's Play series for FTB Ultimate, mainly because of how "excessive" my builds are, even if I tell them it's not. And it's also for my friends who have absolutely no idea where to start in the sea of mods that is FTB. If you were to watch...

    Confessions: I never ... even though I'm told I should.

    I've never bred bees. And I never will.

    Hitting that end game wall

    I'm making a Boss Battle Arena, with cool effects like making it look like you're battling the wither in the middle of the void. So many possible things to do. And with all my resources, power generation, and automation... I still don't have enough uranium. ~_~

    Early AE?

    In terms of resources, yes. In terms of energy consumption, haven't done an experiment yet.

    Non-renewable Items?

    Thanks for the suggestion. Bees are the one thing I will never touch. I would rather deal with GT's insanity than breed bees.

    Non-renewable Items?

    That is not a question. That is a statement. Sure, it's renewable if you're using it on a Nuclear Reactor. I use it for crafting Ultimate Hybrid Solar Panels. If you know of any other way to get Irradiant Uranium, I am all ears. EDIT: I'm a Dvorak user. The "." and "?" are on different...

    Non-renewable Items?

    Not. Enough. Uranium. ~_~

    Best way to duplicate redpower machinery (frames and motors)?

    Only thing I can think of is programming a turtle to build it with your materials. You may still need to reorient the frame motors though, as misc peripherals don't have an option to combine a screwdriver with a turtle. But at least you can automate the building process, which is tedious.

    Early AE?

    10 ME Chests are more expensive than 1 ME Drive + 1 ME Controller + 1 ME TerminalSpeaking of GT, I would like to give thanks for AE. Without it, I would go insane and ballistic with GT. AE autocrafting system FTW!
