    The Future of Microblocks

    You will have issues transfering your world to v1.5 anyway so I wouldn't worry about it. I remember a mod author saying on direwolf20 smp that he wouldn't expect worlds to survive the transition to 1.5( at 2:00 ).

    DW20-5.2.1 Significant Changes?

    Kinda disappointing they didn't even update mystcraft to 0.10.1.

    Are there any Mining turtle prefabricated programs?

    Half the fun of using turtles is coding the programs yourself and have that "Yeah, I'm the boss!" moment when your program does exactly what it's supposed to do. And there is a program called "excavate" by default on mining turtles that will dig a (parameter)*(parameter) hole for you and once...

    had exactly 1 chunk of stuff disappear on me...

    That thread worries me. I used to use item tesseract but changed to enderchest with sorting machine pulling from it. The reasoning was that an item tesseract need a relay in order to feed it to the sorting machine and as relays tend to cause some fps lag I was trying to minimize their usage...

    Extra Large Multifarm--Best Use?

    What kind of pipe are you using because that's weird, I remember Direwolf setting his to run on 2 fully grown chestnut tree(I mean with all the chestnusts ready to harvest) and it ran low but still faster than fruits can mature. I also had a small one with 1 aqueous accumulator but it was only...

    Extra Large Multifarm--Best Use?

    Take your jetpack and fly around in a mountainous biome and you'll find some, guaranteed(just look at the rocky sides). It spawns above level 60 so a good way to get some if you really want automation is to make a flat mystcraft biome and put your quarry there.

    Extra Large Multifarm--Best Use?

    SC is probably better if you want to fuel a boiler as it will basically run forever but let's not forget multifarms have plenty other uses than harvesting wood, amonst other things harvesting fruits and rubber :). Also I'm unsure if SC can harvest giant jungle trees while I know forestry...

    Best ways to get emeralds in Ultimate pack.

    YX33A: I'm quite interested in that pack(mainly for copper :p), can you post a link? And to add my 2 cents to the conversation, let's not forget emerald bees.

    Multiblock Rubber Tree Plantations

    I have no answer to any of those questions but with the smallest size multifarm if you plant appropriate rubber trees(with at least 2 holes) and if you put around 8 of them you'll be swimming in rubber for nearly no fertilizer cost. As for the regeneration rate I don't think it changes it in any...

    Redpower 2 future in FTB?

    I don't know why people want to rush to 1.5, it's not like it introduces any interesting feature to mod players. Personally I'd like an epic update to RP2 with more blutricity but what RP2 offers is already quite epic, microblocks, advanced tube system, nice electricity system, nice worldgen and...

    Router refuses to send items randomly

    Is it supposed to extract from the ender chest and put it into the barrels? Because if it is I'm surprised it even worked at all. I'm not even sure how the 2nd router would get access to the 1st router inventory? If you see particle effects and nothing happens it may simply be that the 1st...

    Computer Craft recipes, overpowered?

    Well they're basically the same thing aren't they? "Try" is basically a setjmp and "catch" is the address. It's just different from the programmer point of view. Personally I'm fine with exceptions to handle critical errors. I'd rather have an exception that 50 if(function()==-1) return -1...

    Router refuses to send items randomly

    To have an idea how crazy a router can go: (look around 13:00 and not my video, I just remember watching it while trying to get what routers were about a while ago :p).

    Redpower Sorting Machine Problem

    Isn't the orientation of the last sorting machine wrong(small hole is always the output)? Personally I never had any problem with sorting machines, they always work flawlessly. I think once I got one stuck but it was totally my fault(put a green color sorting and forgot to paint a tube green, duh).

    [POLL]BC Pipes VS RP Tubes VS AE

    I haven't played with AE(not in DW20 pack yet) but it looks very cool. It's kind of an endgame system though with the need to supply it with power constantly. I love RP2 pipes, so smart, I would probably use those for nearly everything if relays didn't lag clients so much. As it is I use RP2...

    Where is the line between contraption and exploit?

    The 2 alvearies with fastest production enough for a 36 HP boiler(one might even be enough but I wanted to be sure I had an excess) is with the latest version of extra bee.

    Where is the line between contraption and exploit?

    Dire's machine requires 16 mining turtles, so 48 diamonds, a good supply of power already set up, coding the turtles, the computer to move the frame(of course you could just copy/paste dire's program but that's on you), setting up the frames, etc. How is that more op than a quarry where you...

    Extra Large Multifarm--Best Use?

    Hmm I think all farms request 75 mj/t when they need energy but they actually are very energy efficient compared to the old farms. Orchards/Infernal Farms/Arboretums will only use energy when they need to do something(simply plop down an energy cell and you'll see it doesn't use any energy if it...

    Oil and fuel production with bees

    YX33A: Yeah, now fertility indicates the number of drones you get, 1x = 1 drone. Seems logical since you'll always get a princess anyway. And I have a separate line for liquid dna with shortest lived bees with 4x fertility, no reason to bother injecting rocky bees with a fertility serum.

    Oil and fuel production with bees

    One alveary with a fastest production(you need thaumic bees to get that attribute)/longest life/nocturnal/rain distilled bee or 10 apiaries with the same kind of bee will suffice to keep a 36 HP boiler running once heated up. Though with just one alveary the level will fluctuate because comb...
