    Share your frames!

    Right. It uses GPS, and testing showed that it failed horribly when it got out of range of my satellite. I would have to manually prepare more satellites for places I wanted to take it. I've had an idea in my head for some kind of contraption that would always know its location no matter how...

    Thermal Expansion Item Pipes?

    But you did just summon him. :-) I'm curious to see what improvements Team CoFH could make, considering I never even realized liquid pipes could be improved the way liquiducts showed us. It's one of those things I didn't know I wanted until they showed me. Maybe a system similar to...

    Soild block that can carry a Redstone Signal for Multitanks? (mindcrack)

    I haven't seen one. A solid block of redstone that transfers signals would be really handy, doubly so if there was an inverted variant.

    What does YOUR Power Room look like?

    *Gulp* What kind of frame rate do you get in that nether factory room?

    Computercraft Password Door help?D:

    Regarding program termination, here's a really good tutorial by Espen at the Computercraft forums. http://www.computercraft.info/forums2/index.php?/topic/152-prevent-program-termination-ctrlt/

    Cross dimension AE

    Does she lag 100 to 200 blocks away? It'd cost energy, but you could run a long cable to an outpost outside the laggy zone. And then you could save energy by putting a Dark Cable at the source and controlling it with a redstone signal from the outpost. If you have the Player Detector block...

    I need a machine to kill an admin.

    Unless the linking book teleported him to layer 1, so he'd die again before he could finish typing the command. I need to stop reading this thread, I'm getting way too many ideas.

    Applied Energistic Storage Room!

    There's a mod that may be added to the next version of Ultimate which I think you'll like. I think it was called MiscUtilities or something along those lines, and one of its additions is a noise-dampening device that covers a small area, and reduces sounds in that area by 90%. I can't wait to...

    Redpower 2 Frame Machines

    Well I'm a failure. I didn't see this thread before posting mine. Here's what I've done, and I guess it could be merged into this thread: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/share-your-frames.20580/

    Making my EU work harder.

    I saw it posted somewhere else at some point, and for anything outside my base that needs to run constantly, I use it. One-offs like a filler still get direct MJ.

    Making my EU work harder.

    Food for thought regarding tesseracts and energy bridges: Transmit steam over liquid tesseracts instead of MJ over energy tesseracts to avoid the 25% transmission cost.

    Making my EU work harder.

    You mean from having that many packets flowing through the wires? Maybe I should upgrade everything to EV over superconductors...

    Making my EU work harder.

    My standard practice is to hook up all of my storage units in parallel. In my current base, my 16 AESU's can transfer 32,768 eu/t along the glass fiber main line. I don't step down any energy along this line and don't interrupt it with any machines or transformers, and instead branch it off...

    Automatic Light System

    That's a novel way to do it. There are several methods already, including one that works in vanilla, but this is definitely the first time I've seen it this way.

    Why isnt my fusion reactor putting out power?

    Those supercondensators only output on the face with the dot. All the blank sides are inputs.

    Share your frames!

    I'm a big fan of the base tours and power room threads, but while I've found several different threads focused on a particular frames creation, I haven't seen one for all Redpower frames-powered ideas in general. I would like to see what everyone else has made, whether it's a door, a...

    Repower Inchworm Drive + Giant Mystcraft Portal?

    Not likely. For one, as each piece of your ship went through the portal, it would effectively cease to exist, so your frame ship would basically tear itself apart until a critical component went missing (blue alloy wire, control system, or entire motor), and then stop. Two, this would require...

    Can you get real world date and time with a computer?

    The only methods I've seen involve using the http API to fetch the time and date from a server configured to respond appropriately. Have a look at the Computercraft forums and see if you can make sense of any of the programs there. I haven't gotten any of them to work, but perhaps you'll have...

    Gregtech Advanced Regulators

    The funny thing is, it only does this if you directly request x items from the recipe in the interface. But if you request y items that require 10x items, it'll craft the x's at the interface one by one, never jamming. For example, request 600 hardened glass, watch the smelter overflow...

    Minecraft 1.5.1 and the new MC Forge...¿Optifine needed?

    The real test, which I'm hoping someone has done, is to compare frame rates while standing in the middle of a very well-developed base. Something full of pipes and chests and machines.
