    !!!!!! YEA! Futurama style. For now I'm really diggin IC2's transport options. Once I get a decent system of tunnels and rooms underground, the trains are going in. But I REALLY like the idea of player-pipes.

    Better to use item or liquid tesseracts and transport fuel or filled energy cells.

    If you're farming oak trees, you can squeeze the apples, you get apple juice, when used instead of water in your fermenter you get 50% more biomass per sapling. You also get mulch from the apples, which lasts 250 cycles in the fermenter, compared to the 200 fertilizer lasts, plus apples are...

    Yea, I'm still sportin quantum, haven't jumped on the modular suit wagon just yet. Also, this thing is pretty wicked. It shoots you up really fast, the wiki says 20 but it shoots me from y81 to y111, which is 30. Probably only powers me 20 and I coast 10, because I bounce around 90-100 at the...

    I've never even looked at this thing or tried to figure out what it does, I am definitely going to go play with one of these now.

    The boiler should burn 36 buckets of biofuel per hour. If I've done the math right a piece of fertilizer makes 48 buckets of biofuel, using water in the fermenter and distilling it in stills. Fertilizer lasts 200 cycles, each sapling cycled makes .8 buckets of BM, which makes .24 buckets of BF...

    Thanks for all the ideas gents, I like em all. I'm (well, a bunch of turtles are) building an industrial complex, so there's going to be room for a lot of different things, and lots of these ideas are going to be used. Liquiduct stairs, hmm. I do like liquids. (I have giant xycraft tanks full of...

    A Forum Game To Pass The Time! (Corrupt A Wish)

    Granted, you now have free access to all games, however the sudden burst of stimulus has caused you to go blind, and you can't play any of them. I wish I didn't have to go to work today.

    Efficiency on the pick speeds it up, potency on the wand makes it bigger, iirc.

    Need help finding quartz

    Legions of wireless mining turtles, followed and controlled by a few wireless command-relay turtles, followed and controlled by a frame machine w/master-control computer, with a pirate in goggles and a lab coat standing atop the contraption laughing maniacally. That's how you find quartz and...

    In addition to the 2 answers above me, I'd like to add it's always cheaper/easier (at least in my opinion) to pipe liquids around directly whenever possible, to avoid having to make and fill cans/cells/capsules. Some machines, unfortunately, still don't accept raw liquids and must be fed with...

    I was thinking about turtles, though they're kind of slow for long, bedrock to 195 trips. As long as you can afk for the trip though it doesn't really matter much.

    Can an industrial information panel be configured to show info from multiple reactors on one screen, barring that could computercraft do it? I'm looking for a way to have a small monitor for all my reactors in my bedroom and lounge areas, rather than a wall of seperate panels, like the control...

    Yea, I mostly won't use it either, cause of jetpacks. It's mostly for show/coolness factor and maybe guests. I like the hollow spiral stairs idea, I have a ginormous round tower a turtle built for me this will be perfect for.
