    Troubles with Applied Energistics (Direct crafting)

    nope if you want the ae system to autocraft all the time without intervention, your going to have to set up an inventory somewhere to put an export bus that specifies item to craft. the only other way i can think of is misc peripherals, had a specific turtle that could talk to ae networks and...

    Magic Crops + Big Reactor = lots of power (pic heavy)

    dont have that technomancy mod yet. been looking tho. the whole setup was designed so the reactor and the fuel farm were independent of each other in terms of power, thats what the squid/melon seed farms are doing to keep the fuel factory going. the alumentum was just to add some flair to the...

    Magic Crops + Big Reactor = lots of power (pic heavy)

    ok i was kinda derping on that connections thing. so i dug around and tried the TE multimeter...and it was telling me the laser drill prechargers were only pulling 5k each...so i was all like...hmmmm. so now im running 6 laser drills, 2 prechargers each. and now the reactor is just *barely*...

    Magic Crops + Big Reactor = lots of power (pic heavy)

    when i say 3 connections, i mean there connecting to 3 different places...from what i understand, each *connection* on a redstone power conduit handles a max of 10k, not the conduit itself. so each pipe is connecting to 3 laser drill prechargers, plus the final connection to the redstone energy...

    Magic Crops + Big Reactor = lots of power (pic heavy)

    why does no one tell me these things...man ;) eh i figured the 3:1 return with the rich slag makes up for it,...tho i wonder, does it take uranium ore? or does it have to be run through ic2 stuff? i was kinda hoping to avoid ic2 machinery

    Magic Crops + Big Reactor = lots of power (pic heavy)

    im not sure...actually there are 4 connections per conduit, and they both link up to a resonant energy cell at the end powering the ae network. i wasnt trying to drain the reactor super quick, just seeing if i could power the drill without it going loopy on lack of power and such. it does drain...

    easy way to get essence seeds

    also let me make this clear, i think people are misunderstanding what this is for: this is for essence dust crops...not all the other crops. the only way to get the seeds for essence dust crops is to cut grass @Pyure : i did do some automation in horizons, using the flood gate method...

    easy way to get essence seeds

    ya monster by default is no extras. i did play with this in horizons when it was first released and i was getting the extra seeds. but thats ok, that forces people to do things like this to get the crops started ;) and keeps things simple like not having to worry about excess seeds in...

    easy way to get essence seeds

    not an issue really, just thought it was a cool way to get them...i think by default they dont drop extra seed tho...not unless you tweak the config to do so.

    easy way to get essence seeds

    so playing with magic crops, i was wondering how to get essence crops going. no recipe for essence seeds...hmmm. so quick look on the wiki..you have to get them from chopping grass. oh really..... so I was like...nope. note that I am using magic crops in Monster pack, which means you do not get...

    Magic Crops + Big Reactor = lots of power (pic heavy)

    Been toying with magic crops and big reactors and out comes this crazy, almost rube goldberg-ish setup the big reactor. this thing is 7x7, 25 blocks high. it has 5 fuel rods in an X configuration, with diamond blocks in between the stacks, and liquid ender on the perimeter. it needs 460...

    How to produce massive RF?

    you could try magic crops, i have blaze, coal and redstone crops specifically to make pyrotheum. blaze rods have 45% chance to drop a sulfur when pulverized, and pulverizing coal gives you another 10% chance for a sulfur drop. i have a big reactor setup that produces 50k rf/t (normal...

    [FTB Monster] - Biofuel/Ethanol/Biomass Help - Saplings and Cacti Farm [HELP]

    i do a melon farm/cyclic assembler pulling seeds + squid tank (4 ranchers) feeding a bio reactor, which feeds biofuel to 3 bio generators, keeping a redstone energy cell topped off. works just fine. dunno how much power you need but i have quite a few machines working with this (not all active...

    Experience collection? + Animal Farming?

    i beg to differ. they certainly did with cows. i think they do only with passive mobs. try it

    Any New Way To Make Dark Iron?

    mfr laser drills produce it. you get it as ore blocks so apply pulverizer/smeltery multiplication schemes as usual.
