You'll want to know the basics of AE (which is about all I know). The short version is that you'll need to provide power to an ME controller (EU and MJ both work) and store your forcicium in an ME chest or disk drive connected to the controller with ME cable. Then run ME cable to the MFFS...

Well "better" depends on what you're most concerned with. As I mentioned, the way you have it saves you a tad in terms of energy efficiency, but it uses up a lot of energy cells. The way Lambert is suggesting (and incidentally the way that mine is set up) is like so: Same symbols as what you...

Yeah, I personally wouldn't trust a half slab alone to be enough to really keep a large number of mobs confined to such a small space. Use a full solid block beneath them and see if that helps. And even then, don't stand too close. You can have a full block between you and the mobs and you'll...

Sort of, yes. But there are a few advantages. 1) By cutting out the need for energy conduits between the redstone energy cell(s) and the machines, he avoids an additional 5% loss. 2) Each machine has its own reserve of energy, so that excessive use of the purifier (for instance) won't prevent...

This can also work with a longer piping system than just the single wooden pipe, but it would require another gate and the use of piping wire. Set up an iron gate on the pipe next to the extractor with the settings "Inventory Empty" = "Red Pipe Signal" (the latter option will only be available...

Apart from the obsidian thing, the nether bees thing still applies; as do the uses for netherrack (convert to lava for magmatic engines at net MJ gain or turn them into nether brick).

Yeah RP2 tubes would probably work. The AE solution is great though. Just use an export bus on any side (doesn't have to be the top) and you're good to go. I'm doing this with 5 MFFS extractors currently. :)

If you're wondering about the efficiency of the redstone energy cell usage (as your sentence structure seems to be implying) then technically you are losing some energy when exiting the energy cell - assuming, that is, that you're using redstone energy conduits (in which case your loss will be...

True enough. And I'm not much of a fan of the new multifarms either to be honest. But the yield of walnuts and chestnuts is SO much greater than everything else that this is one of the very few areas where it's worth it in my opinion. If you have any sort of decent auto-mining system you'll...

Ah no worries, I can relate. I wrote almost an entire chapter of my master's thesis today. :eek: (Perhaps that's why my humor was so hopeless... someone needs to give my brain a whack with a crescent hammer...)

That scaffolding looks phenomenal for this build. If was is your first FTB project, I expect some pretty epic stuff in your future. ;)

Right right - I didn't mean to imply that he should actually go without the sleep command. I was just trying to comment on the irony of asking for "maximum speed" when discussing a command whose sole purpose is to introduce a delay. Obviously my attempt at humor failed. :rolleyes:

As has been mentioned, breed your way up to walnuts. It's not too tough, and they give you WAY more seed oil. If you breed one step further, chestnuts give you a bit more yet.

Well, for "maximum speed" you wouldn't use any sleep at all. ;) That would also potentially be laggy. You said this was for a mob farm, yes? The turtles on my mob farm have sleep(1) built in and it runs fine. You could probably get away with less if you wanted to.

Awe shucks. :P Glad you got it going. That's weird that you had to break it and replace it, but at least it worked!

Your glass/brick pattern is correct for the "flatten" function, but there should be an icon in the slot to the right. I'm not sure why there isn't. Are you using double-brick-slabs by mistake instead of regular bricks? Since you appear to be in creative mode, this would be an easy mistake to make...

Startup will run whenever a turtle is rebooted or reloaded. But if the chunk that it's in isn't loaded, then the turtle will not run - just like any other device. Try adding a chunkloader and see if you still have issues. I have a number of turtles running Startup programs within chunkloaded...

Did you do what Mikey_R said and set the liquiduct to output mode where it attaches to the tank? EDIT: Ah, good. :)

Yes, if you do what William suggested. But for that to work, you need to make sure that the apiarist pipe itself is adjacent to the apiary. If there are other pipes in between, the drones will get dropped if they don't fit. But since the apiarist pipe is intelligent, it will prioritize the...

To the best of my knowledge, a Buildcraft pump will not actually suck up any liquid if it doesn't have anywhere to send it to. This also means that it won't be consuming the power you send to it, which is only a problem if you're using a type of engine that can get jammed or explode (or using...
