    Quarry guide...

    That's exactly why I made this comment. Diamonds in monster are rarer on layer 11 that they are under the layer 8. You need to go deeper in monster.

    Quarry guide...

    I'd suggest to go 1 layer over the bedrock. I think diamonds are more frequent deeper even if you have to navigate carfully because of lava lakes.

    Quarry guide...

    Nobody do that. We make a chest that sort items into other chests. And we have the quarry plus all our machines and all our own excess stuff in that single chest. The is a lot of mods with a lot of different sorting solutions. In monster, i'd suggest you connect 1 chest to an itemduct system...

    Opinions on Combat

    The battles... Th best would be a inventory system like final fantasy tactic with more slot available for equipement. necklace,rings, bracelts, left hand, shoulder pads. Each item would give you one unique ability. It could be a skill (dash, whirlwind,slash,pound, fireball, heal, summon slime...

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    This is just fantasy physics, but the portal should have to spend energy to give that extra potential energy to the transported item. I guess the portal gun transfer enough energy to the portal for it to stay open during all the stage. However that energy spent there should always be greater or...

You don't seem to start games so often so it might worth waiting.. There was an annoying but in AE if I remember... The way i was solving it...

    ME chests, ME drives, storage busses - pros and cons?

    The storage bus are best for early _sorting_ system. I was using it a lot in previous versions for that. While it can't hold the same 1k of storage, a simple iron chest can hold quite a decent amount of different types for the very cheap cost. If you redirect the bulk of your cobble, sand...

    How do YOU choose what world you want to build in?

    I beg to differ, I feel professionnal when I actualy have a floor well aligned and flat all made up of machines and pipes in such a way I dont even need an actual floor while still being able to access everything. But hey ! This is a mater of taste. I build on the border of a magical forest, on...

    Early game defenses

    No he said multiple layers of ladders make it unpraticable. I'm talking about 2 blocks : a crafting bench and a chest.

    Early game defenses

    If you want to try this, I dont think any mobs I saw was pathfinding on a crafting bench with a chess on top of it. For extra safety, you can add an item duct on top of the chest. You can easily climb it just by jumping, but I doubt mobs will see it as passable.

    Which power system has the highest power/lag ratio ?

    It can burn anything BUT lava bucket. I think it burn 1 charcoal each 8 seconds. Which is fairly easy to reach. The only issue is the diamond chest full of coal you need to initialy put into it. To heat it at maximum capacity. Careful, I fed one too much and it fell into negative power output...

    Which power system has the highest power/lag ratio ?

    An High-temperature Furnace Generator from Extra Utilities. Could produce 1.5k RF/tick and take a single block. It burn anything a furnace can take. And the most interesting bit is that it is super efficient at these high level. Much like a survivalist generator or rather a full wall of them. A...

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    I didn't played much packs, but none of which i played needed more then ~30 ingots worth of material to make an automatic ore doubling machine. I still fail to see when I'd have enough ore to find convenient to AFK grind it that way, but still not enough ore to be able to start my machinery...

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    What do you do with that ore this early in the game without any bits of redstone and gold (pulverizer) or aluminum, tin, copper and lead (Automated TiCo smeltery) or Iron and copper (macerator) or only Iron (grinder rotary craft) ? What else do you pulverize in mass so you can't automate ore...

    redstone vs stonebound

    Since I learned that stonebound scale with the number of piece used, I go with a pure ardite hammer. The bonus get bigger then the hammer speed itself. the tool station tell you the speed and the bonus when you place the tool in it btw.

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    To say the truth, even if i restart my games each 20 hours or so. I always take the time to look around and see if I can install my base near a magical forest.

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    actualy, the MAC dont allow the supplier pipe to work correctly. So because of that I prefer the logistic crafting tables.
