    I'm making a fusion reactor

    Actually, a quarry is one of the slowest and most inefficient methods of automated mining in the game. You can mine faster and more efficiently with 2 turtles, a mining well and a redstone cell (roughly 600 blocks per minute). If you are at the point where you are looking to make the most...

    What's the best way to mine on the Ultimate pack?

    Hmmm... Turtle Swarm Output: 64 blocks in 9 seconds ~= 427 blocks per minute Fuel: 1 turtle fuel per block Mining Well Turtle Output: 16 block row, lvl 75 to bedrock in 2 minutes ~= 600 blocks per minute Fuel: 1 turtle fuel and 1825 mj per 75 blocks Turtle swarm doesn't require mj, but...

    What's the best way to mine on the Ultimate pack?

    Hmm... perhaps I haven't used quarries in a while. Last I knew, they took hours to clear a chunk. I'll have to look into it...

    What's the best way to mine on the Ultimate pack?

    You should try telling a large mining corp IRL that their automated mining techniques are too OP. That would be cool. --------------------------------------------------------- A reasonable facsimile of intelligence...

    What's the best way to mine on the Ultimate pack?

    I just built a 2 turtle system that will smoke a quarry for speed and energy any day of the week, for a fraction of the materials and energy usage. Thing1: Gate Reader Mining Turtle (used gems, not diamonds) Thing2: Engineering Turtle Thing1 gets a mining well and an ender chest linked...

    What's the best way to mine on the Ultimate pack?

    How about 2 mining turtles with a startup program. 1 mines, places the other. Other pulls everything from the first, breaks it, mines, and places the first. Back and forth, no fuel used, and a LOT faster than turtles moving! --------------------------------------------------------- A...

    Item Recognition in FTB?

    The RP2 Sortron would give the most comprehensive coverage here. A bit of FORTH knowledge would be necessary, however.

    CC to RP2 gateway

    This is pretty much why I was asking. That and the ability to import FORTH apps from the web. I'm thinking something like a SPI bus with 8 data lines, using the other 8 for the actual protocol overhead. Every device in your car communicates over a system called CAN, which uses only 1 signal...

    How to use the BT Engine as a Pluse Engine

    When redpower computers finally get decent interrupt handling, running a PWM output should be fairly easy. It would almost function like an analog control level for the engine. Hmm... negative feedback control loops... I just got a woody! Cudos, man...

    Need a bigger RP2 Filter

    You Can program a sortron to do anything if you have the Forth chops, but that would be even more complicated than two filters. However, it would be infinitely more cool. --------------------------------------------------------- A reasonable facsimile of intelligence...

    Please help with redpower "sorting" (LOL YEAH RIGHT) machine

    Do not paint the "default" pipe path. If you use a restriction tube, all non-sorted items and any color sorted items that have no place to go will go down the default route. Color-sorted items with valid destinations will still ignore this default path due to the restriction tube...
