    Applied Energistics - ME Storage detect how much i have?

    An overly complicated UI for a basic tool is kind of rediculous, which is the kind of change needed to make that kind of functionality usable. Plus, its a shitload of work for the mod author to satisfy 1% niche functionality that is already covered by another mod. I think there are far more...

    Applied Energistics - ME Storage detect how much i have?

    Doing so in a way that wouldnt be too complex for basic users would be quite difficult, or a different set of buses would have to be added. Its a lot of functionality for fringe uses. You can, however, do this via RedNet and level emitters. Use one level emitter per item and hook it up to...

    Most ridiculous power supply

    there's a gas turbine now, meant as the replacement. Also, a GT boiler. Yeah, removing compatibility wasnt cool, but there's options.

    Cheap decoration blocks?

    Endstone brick is a good option if you like how it looks and have the infrastructure/access to the end. if you have access to the end, its easy to make of course. otherwise, you can get one endstone via obsidian and an ender pearl with the smeltery, then use an alkahest to generate 16 endstone...

    Disappointed

    The 1.52 documentation is lacking. The best advice I can give is to breed some trees together then 'u' the saplings to find derivatives and just start churning out species an masse to start. As you do this, look for beneficial traits and set them aside. As an example, I'm breeding plum into...

    Disappointed

    You all argue for two pages, yet none of you, out of your infinite ignorance, know that fermenter/stills produces more biofuel? Don't argue about things you don't know how to use. OP, the MFR route can't handle forestry tree bred saplings, which is by design for balance. High efficiency...

    GT Nuclear reactor automation?

    advanced regulators are your best bet, and to my knowledge, the only machine that can send multiple inputs to specific slots on a reactor. it just requires one regulator per fuel type, and since you rarely exceed 2 fuel types, it works out well. this makes it a functional solution for CRCS and...

    AE Autocrafting issues

    A bug, but I think an unfixable bug that's existed since the mod started. It is a limitation on the coding side of things for sure, not something easily fixed. dark cables still have their uses, for example, gating an entire wing of your base for deactivation in cases of overrun. More useful...

    AE Autocrafting issues

    Changes to the ME network cause crafting resets. Is there something in your network that is turning on dark cables? Another possibility is you aren't providing enough of a constant power stream to your network, which will reset crafting. Crafting will spike power usage a little so you can't...

    MJ->EU most efficient?

    The simplest way without power converters or transferring to another medium is a bank of electrical engines with iron upgrades. Bog standard 2.5:1 conversion ratio, but eh, it works. oil is a bad conversion unless you are using steam as a medium (boilers)

    Getting the most out of your ME Network

    For gregtech, buffers and advanced regulators work great. For unleashed, you can just use diamond pipe to two hoppers, add chests if you need a bigger buffer. Hoppers process in order.

    FTB Unleashed = NO aluminium?

    You don't really need aluminum, all its uses have substitutes making it entirely optional. Steel is a better and cheaper substitute for alumite and can be made with 1 iron and 4 coal, and gold can be used for your casts if you are short of alumite.

    Forestry and Cotton

    Use a managed, not unmanaged, wheat farm and prime the seed spot by placing a small buffer in the top right GUI after the whole farm is planted. I have it running so I can confirm it works.

    Forestry and Cotton

    the pink cotton seeds are treated as 'crops'. Unfortunately, it wont pick the cotton and leave the plant, making the grow cycle longer, but if you program the circuit board like you were using wheat, it will work for cotton. Note that you can't plant wheat and cotton on the same field as a...

    My Force Trees Are Dying!

    try planting an oak tree and see if it does the same thing. i noticed that some biomes have 'decayed' leaves and I wonder if it can happen to newly planted trees. Also, my willow trees wont maintain their 'cone' in the tundra biome and I wonder if it has a similar root cause. Maybe BoP limits...

    My Force Trees Are Dying!

    do you have a serious pollenation bee plant running? even within 4 chunks from an alveary? I wonder what happens when a bee tries to pollenate a leaf it cant recognize.

    I know I'm probably beating a dead horse here but.. Dartcraft.

    To those trumpeting the "its about fun" argument, you are right and wrong at the same time. Yes, its about fun, but thats not the issue. The issue is you are using "its about fun" on something that makes the game LESS fun for a large chunk of people. Your OPINION of fun does not an argument...

    SONYCRAFT! wait... whut?

    I think you are vastly overestimating the expense of porting it to PS3. There are a lot of people who make a living doing that so the expertise is already there. The hard part is developing the game, getting it to work on multiple platforms, especially when you already have a version that...

    Any way to reduce waste of MJ?

    The best method to reduce waste is redstone logic. Create an array of RECs and use rednet to send a delayed signal to the engines when it receives notice via the REC redstone functionality that it isnt full, plus an interrupt for when the in-signal stops. Here's a good shape, in a top-down...

    Mod / Plugin to track down lag from other mods?

    Do you know if this is also not too bad with ic2 power loops or loops through a power converter? I would think that any cable power loss with a storage device feeding another storage device ouroborus style Would calculate all the way down to zero, though I guess that might not work the way I'm...
