    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    1- Altough really good in theory because they only cost 1 piston (1 redstone and iron) and stones and output 200,000 rf per lava, stirling engines and fluid transposer are not a good alternative to magmatic dynamo. The production rate is too slow, so you end up with a huge array of them...

    Engineer's toolbox have frames but you'd need to attach each blocks to it. Not sure it's viable here though.

    [TC] Best thing to Deconstruct to get Aqua?

    Ther is never only 1 space between aspects. The is hundreds of solutions. I'm just saying even if you have a list, people tend to stop at the first solution they find. As you get better in that research minigame, you tend to be able to use what you have in excess instead of going throught the...

    [TC] Best thing to Deconstruct to get Aqua?

    To answer the OP the wrong way around : You don't need to deconstruct aspect. You need to learn to research with what you have in excess (namely metalum) and you should try to avoid using the same elements over and over. If you scan all your machines and nodes and do this properly, you should...

    Me system powering?

    You need 3 dynamo, hardened energy conduits and at least a redstone battery. You will overall use less then 1 dynamo unless you start to automated around. But it will sometime use burst of energy. Say you want to empty a chest in one go... That's why you need a battery and more dynamos ready...

    Thaumcraft 4 help

    Yes I also found a way using buffers. But it take lot of room and lot of buffers. It was also slowing down the alchimical process quite a bit. I figured that I could want at some point multiple jar of the same essentia and that would make the size of my project explode far beyond what I'd ever...

    Automating the creation of Liquid Glowstone when engine needs it?

    Wow you sure complicate your life. If you want to produce just what you need, simply dont build any tank, or a very small tank. And just keep the dedicated magmacrucible full of glowstone. You will have 64 glowstone stuck there, but there you go everything is automated ! :D

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    No you dont get it... I don't breed, I don't use weed-ex or anything. I just plant my vanilla seeds on crops. It's awesome. Everything stay planted and work with mfr harvesters. You can plant netherwart, red dye and yellow dye. Melon and pumpkins grow in 1 space. Sugar canes dont need to be next...

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    an open block cursor set on a logistic request table or an AE crafting terminal. I didnt try across dimension yet... but on short distance around my base, it's magical. I can sort, request and craft remotely from anywhere around ! I don't know how I missed that simple 7 wool recipe, but now it...

    Running RotaryCraft Extractors by stage?

    According to doc, the middle stages of the extractor are affected by speed while the 2 other stage are affected by torque. If you can keep the torque to minimum for the firsts and speed to minimum for the lasts. You can get much more from the same quantity of power. That's what the OP try to...

    Primitive firearms for Tinker's Construct?

    ok ok. Mdyio could make a set of "crossbow" and "guns" models. That would actualy do exactly like a bow. Except the gun would go *pew pew* to satisfy some player base. And the crossbow could stay loaded at the cost of some reload time. He could also make new projectiles, like flechettes...

    How to set up a 'queue' of ores?

    I fond a solution as well. You set distinct interface to export every ores then you "mixed" them into a long pipe of one item at a time into a chest. It's crucial that the flow at that point is slow if you dont want jams. So you might want to use specific pipes (BC, transfer node? ). That mixed...

    How to set up a 'queue' of ores?

    So you could open your save world and add some zero to your diamonds count then. What stop you to doing this ? If you want to use turles. Get real and have them mine and build an entire pseudo randomly generated 3d maze. And have them multiply themself with the ressources. That would be great ...

    Primitive firearms for Tinker's Construct?

    As said earlier, there is already a ranged weapon in TiCo and it's the bow. There is NO REASON to make a ranged weapon even stronger as mDiyo already balanced the bow to a amount that he judged to be balanced. At best, we'd endup with a new weapon that shoot twice as fast as a bow and do the...

    What would a "modern day" Minecraft be like?

    I imagine a minecraft with blocks of 1 cm instead of 1 meter. Better physic model that make dirt slide, trees fall and rocks crumble if unsupported. I see a realistic water flowing system and a map generator that is able to render a map, trees and other features with that 1cm precision. Is see...
