if you dont mind abusing of game balance, the rock melter > magma dynamo > pneumatic engine is hard to beat at the moment. Reika said he fixed it so... hurry while it still work :o

you should soon have an excess of herba right ? Otherwise your netherwart farm is much too small. It should stop when your jars get filled.

Everything in vanilla, TiCo, buildcraft, some cables and basic materials I use a lot. I also realized that I tend to remember at least 1 piece of any recipes, so I can quickly find it via NEI after building the first part. For exemple, I know the aqueous accumulator and the igneous extruder...

Ok errata on my errata. Actually, if your first wooden pipe is branched to a working redstone engine when you first scan it. The wooden pipes will have potentia and machina in it. Seems like a bug ? Yet there is probably a way to use that in our advantage...

I have a solution for you guys. Find a magic forest and mine for diamonds around level 5. You will fine rare hives that usualy give an ender pearl when you scoop them. WIth a tico hammer and a backpack you should reliably find an ender pearl before you pack is full of stones. So it's not bad at...

Except I was completly mistaken. What I scanned was a wooden kinetic pipe. And it was not even arbor after all, it was machina. No free potentia for me. So... I'm just an idiot. Edit: one could still centrifuge arbor from sticks in guess. but that doesnt sound as good now :(.

Oh no... you can do better... The lilypads work up to 4 tile above them according to the wiki. So you can build an artificial lake full of them underneath your farm patch.

Did anyone tried wooden transport pipes ? There is 1 arbor and 1 potentia in it. You can use the potentia with furnaces to make free alumentum and you can centrifuge your arbor to get cheap herba.

I start with a TiCo smeltery, then build a pulverizer quite fast after that to get the bonus dust. After my quarry I use RoC extractors.

Early game, storage buses are cheaper per type.

I use LP for distribution around my base and use my AE system for the storage per se. LP works on stone pipes so you can distribute around all your base with no extra cost for distance. And the certus quartz I save seem enough to hold anything my quarry could out put (beside I recycle/trash my...

A day 3 start could be fun without wasting much since it's mainly vanilla stuff at day 1 and 2 : 2 stack of logs, 10 steaks, 10 wool and a saphire tool kit.

Well depends I guess how many eggs you want and how many time you want to take for the initial setup. My method can easily make 60 eggs a day with few lag in a 1 day build and forget project. Breeding bees might take from longer is you already have the infrastructure to and eternity if you start...

Wait... bees ? It will take much too long. You can make a chicken farm even in vanilla now. It grow exponentially at a rate of about double per minecraft days. All you need to have is a dispenser over a hopper in a 1x1 area. Make the dispenser some tiles above so it dont kill you chicker by...

But isnt stonebound scale with the amount of damage the tool got ? So the more damage it have the faster it get ? That's why I try to get more durability possible. Stonebound is far better then any extra modifier I would want.

Ardite plate on one side for stonebound. Cobalt plate on the other side. Manylium head and rod for maximum durability.

How many dozen of mineshaft you found ? Typicaly even if vanilla, I find one mineshaft out of 3 games just in my main mining area. Statisticaly, this mean there is 1 chance out of about 81 that you find 4 distinct mineshafts in the first 4 hole you dig. It still quite a common odd. I don't know...

For completness, you shoul include the neitherhack furnace which is twice as efficient as a normal one. The TiCo smeltery worth a mention nevertheless. It's much cheaper then other late game machines (I now make it even before my pulverizer now). And it double the ore without intermediate steps.

much less trouble on crops with an mfr harverster

But, I usualy reach the igneous extruder before a recycler or a sludge boiler. So I get the obsidian for a portal before. Since the extractor need one bit of neitherhack, you need to have access to the neither at that point. Or did I missed a quick way to get neitherhack ?
