Mod-loader is incompatible with Forge, which is the basis for most of the mods in FTB. However, there is already something installed called ForgeModLoader, which I believe fills the same need. You should be able to install mod loader mods with just that. Anyone feel free to correct me of I'm...

I've got it! 2x2x2. Bottom layer (perspective top down) 1 2 X 3 Top layer 4 5 X 6 1: Igneous Extruder (set to smooth stone) 2: Aqueous Accumulator 3: Diamond chest 4: Vanilla single chest 5: Automatic Crafting Table 6: Wooden Pipe with Autarchic Gate Should make 500 stone bricks for...

So for this seemingly pulled from thin air contest, are we allowed to assume some power input from an external source, or must the device be completely independent? I love this, by the way!

It is pretty easy to transfer EU between dimensions if you are dead set on using IC2. Set up a couple of Ender Chests and just transfer lapoptron crystals back and forth. Or lava buckets from the nether, with geothermal generators on site. Or the railcraft solution mentioned above. Or...

Advanced Solars also breaks the self-replicating HV Array factory, as it requires materials not obtainable from uu matter alone. You actually have to mine stuff. GregTech's solar recipe does the same thing. This is not a bad thing, IMNSHO (in my not so humble opinion). I like how FTB picked...

The only thing I recommend you disable would be GregTech, as that purposefully makes things harder. Other than that you don't actually HAVE to use any of the mods if you don't want. The way I started, way back at the beginning of time, was with the Getting Started instructions over in the...

For me, especially with irridium ore, the rock cutter is slower than molasses in a snow biome. I made diamond pick with efficiency V, unbreaking III and silk touch, and it has lasted me a heck of a long time.

Not necessary and pretty expensive. The Igneous Extruder will supply cobble almost twice as fast as either furnace will cook it, so power draw from the furnace should be pretty evenly 2mj/t, which is exactly one electric engine. The only thing that could shut down the system would be if the...

Plus, the interface itself says 2MJ max... ;)

Facade needs to be crafted on the assembly table. You'll also need lasers and more engines for that, so you may want to hold off on the facades for a while.

I stand corrected. You are right. I guess you still have a few good options. An electric engine would power it for 6 eu/t, or upgraded at 5eu/t. An ic2 electric furnace would do it for 3 eu/t, but would not auto eject the smooth stone into the chest, necessitating another wooden pipe/Antarctic...

Powered furnace uses 2mj/t max. Red stone engines produce 1 each.

Just thinking, and would the first chest even be necessary? Does any one know if you set up the powered furnace with no output side, would the autocrafting table consider it an inventory and pull the smooth stone straight out of it? I'm at work, so can't try it out.

Easy answer, and a clearly worded question. And I would do the following: Igneous extruder => powered furnace (thermal expansion) => chest => autocrafting table => wooden pipe with autarchic gate => diamond chest. Power the furnace with a couple of redstone engines, and you have energy free...

Igneous Extruder. You can actually generate smooth stone with it as well.

Actually, the lightning rod was the next high level machine I made after the matter fab. My team mate took them to a charged stormy Mystcraft age and set up a couple of quarries to keep it loaded and an Enderchest/router network to keep it fed with scrap. It is still one of the fastest sources...

@Celestial: Good thoughts. I'm gonna have to try that.

I was able to get every ore except tin and bronze to form a single ingot type. The other ores can be formed into blocks on an auto crafting table and then separated back into ingots on another. What you want to do is figure out which ingots the blocks turn into, and set up the system to pull...

Hehe, yeah I like that non-legitness canceling each other out. We'll have to run it by the minecraft legit council. @Nosaj: Wow, sarcastic much? Instability is a balancing factor for Mystcraft, built into the mod for that purpose. My point was that if you purposefully BREAK a mod to make...

Ah, that makes sense.
