    Best Assembly Table Setup?

    Does a portable hole work on Lasers and Energy Conduits?

    In general bee help?

    Especially, if you want to play with some of the more advanced Extra Bees' bees =P

    New Thermal Expansion functionality/item: Tesseracts

    I was actually just joking and going that extra insane step to minimalism the setup space. It still could save you a very small amount of time setting up 4 redstone engines and the switch/torches to run them, not to mention the engine warmup time. Plus if you already have a super engine room...

    Apiarist Database

    I checked that site on Monday and couldn't find it... Either I'm blind or someone just added it since then. Thanks for the info. =P

    Magmatic Engines broken?

    If you want to automate it with containers, you would just need to include a liquid transposer hooked up to some pipes leading to the engines. The liquid transposer will empty the containers into the pipes.

    Ender bees

    I would assume you could beg/borrow/steal (Don't recommend the last one =P) some drones from another player to try to cross breed a different princess into one. Or alternatively use the extra bee machines to extract the trait to inject into a princess. I've only just started with extra bees...

    Apiarist Database

    I thought it might be the carpenter too, tried a few combinations but came up empty. I just cheated myself in one and deleted 9 diamonds as compensation.... =P

    New Thermal Expansion functionality/item: Tesseracts

    I think you could also dump the 4 redstone engines and replace with an energy tesseract. I haven't tested it yet, but I would think it would work since it is MJs. That gets your setup to 4 blocks: Pump, liquid tesseract, energy tesseract, chunk loader. =P Now to invent an all-in-one tesseact...

    Emerald pipes

    You could always use the emerald pipe with an autarchic gate that feeds into a RP relay. That would act sort of like a filter. It'd also take up the same amount of space since you would need a filter and a timer to automate the pulling where you could also use an emerald pipe and relay. Gets...

    Apiarist Database

    Full disclosure: My caffeine supply is lacking and this may just be a huge derp... I've updated to the Direwolf v5 pack and thought I'd play around with Extra Bees... I'm trying to build the apiarist database but I can't seem to find a recipe for it anywhere. The recipe is not shown in NEI...

    Question about pumping lava from the nether

    Ah! That is good to know, I was planning on doing an enderbag charging setup soon. Thanks for saving me some frustration. =P

    Question about pumping lava from the nether

    You can feed them into the bottom of a MFSU, I think, to discharge them, then extract with a filter to send back to the empty ones to the enderchest. My setup, I did the standard filter-liquid transposer-enderchest setup. But for the magmatic engine, I have it hooked into 2 redstone energy...

    How often does the FTB launcher update?

    They are currently doing internal testing on the modpack updates. You can see their status in http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/forums/mod-pack-updates.62/ Thaumcraft 3.0.2 update is in both the Mindcrack and Direwolf20 updates. I heard someone mention "Mondays" but I don't know if that was a...

    Auto Rubber Farm

    With forestry, you can't use bonemeal but there is a forestry version to instantly grow trees. It's the Forester which uses Catalyst as the consumable instead of bonemeal. I haven't tested it with rubber trees, but I know it works on Oaks. My tree farm, even without catalysts, ended up making...

    Compressor + transformer = explosion

    My bad, i was suffering from a lack of caffeine and missed a decimal point on the energy storage 10k vs 1k. This makes me worry a bit about the drafting work I was doing yesterday. I should go back and check my conversion calculations between metric and US units. =P I also ended up passing out...

    Compressor + transformer = explosion

    I was going to suggest maybe it has to do with the amount of energy that was being stored. But if the wiki is correct and the compressor only holds 800 EU plus 10k per storage upgrade, that'd be 64,800 EU. I could maybe see it freaking out at above 65,535 but have no clue why it would at...

    Thaumcraft 3 crystal clusters????

    I don't really want to spoil it for you, but at the same token I was completely oblivious to the system to discover it... I'll give you a hint, it has to do with the knowledge fragments... If you are still stuck, let me know.

    Getting the GraviChestPlate - The Road to Success

    I'm not spending too much! I'm just not receiving enough to fulfill my demand! We need more quarries!!! And screw the EPA, I'm going to start open pit mining the entire Mystcraft age down to bedrock! =P

    Getting the GraviChestPlate - The Road to Success

    A reduction of 96 tin from 969 is a 10% reduction... That's better than 0% =P I had a tin issue, but after I started up some quarries in a Mystcraft Age, that problem started to disappear. Oddly enough, I'm having more of an iron shortage, though likely has to do with all the iron tanks and...

    What causes cables transmitting MJ randomly explode?

    Did you walk away from the quarry? The quarry itself acts as a chunk loader, but it's possible it could be right at the edge and your engines are in the chunk but some piping is not. When you walk away, the chunk with the piping unloads, but the engines continue to run but have no path to send...
