    batbox not enough?

    You really should move the energy at the higher voltages in the first place as it tends to be more efficient. As for making transformer upgrades for all your machines, here is a suggestion. Move your transformers to a location near your machines and step down the voltage at the location its...

    batbox not enough?

    What you use to transfer buildcraft energy depends on your situation. If you have the infrastructure I would suggest you use redstone conduits as they dont have a chance of exploding like the conductive pipes. As for your energy set up running your power from batbox to batbox blocks a lot of...

    batbox not enough?

    Copper cable loses 1EU per 5 blocks so do some simple math and you will find you are losing about 4 EU per packet heading to your quarry. With the maximum packet size of Copper being 32, your batbox is receiving 28 per packet. The number of packets going down the line will determine overall...

    batbox not enough?

    What kind of cabling are you using to transport power to your quarry? Fiber glass cable has a energy loss of 1UE per 40 blocks so that would be best for your situation. If that is a little expensive for you you can place transformers or energy storage blocks, such as the batbox, along the way to...

    I would recommend RP2 lamps on top, they come in 3 styles and have inverted versions so no levers or redstone torches needed. As for the track try lowering it, it may be to high for it to be effective. Also did you include the proper modules on the cart with the advance shooter? It needs to...

    Magma crucible/general help

    I dont know how I missed this, but red power 2 machines, such as the filter, will not output to buildcraft pipes. They will however out put to red power tubes. I hate to tell you this, but your gonna have to either change the entry point for your nether rack or swap out all your piping for tubes.

    Magma crucible/general help

    Iron pipes are pipes that restrict the direction items can by only outputing on one side. You need to hit your iron pipes with a BC wrench or omni tool one until the clear side is the direction you want your items to go. In your current set up the iron pipe next to your wood pipe has its sides...

    What is worth silk touching?

    Only time I can really think someone might want to use silk touch is with the gregtech industrial grinder. You will have to look to NEI to see if anything is worth doing that as I do not have any on the top of my head.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Could you be referring to the request pipe from logistic pipes? With logistic pipes one can hook up all their storage chests into a network and view their contents at a request pipe. What is actually show will depend on settings at individual chests, such as keep one stack/one item and such...

    Kinetic Generator help?

    No problem, but what I find interesting is in my test world the windmill would actually clear the space it needed. Any blocks I placed where it would appear when placed in the generator where deleted. I do not know if it has anything to do with me being in creative or not, but just a...

    Kinetic Generator help?

    I just put together one in a testing world real quick and counted the girth of the windmill. It seems to have slightly less than a 8 block radius from the center (based on its hit box). You need to clear out 8 blocks from your generator to get the windmill to appear. So its a total of 17 blocks...

    favorite buildcraft starting power source?

    I like starting with hobbiest steam engines, they are more efficient with coal than stirling engines. Also you can not automate apetite, but you can make fertilizer from the igneous extruder and some pulverizers and auto crafting tables. The extruder makes cobble which is pulverized to sand...
