Mechanical Pipes act very similarly to Liquiducts: if your liquid source does not force liquid out (in UE, mostly the Pump), the pipe connected to the valve must be set to Forced Extraction mode. To set a Mechanical Pipe to forced extraction mode, shift-right-click it with a Configurator...

An Item Transversing modifier would be nice, although much of its benefits can be replicated through AE design. AE's just not terribly good at it. In CCTurtle, set the IDs for both Turtles and Advanced Turtles to 0. Nevermind. The only way to remove them completely is to delete the...

Yes. You need an Ink Mixer, to put an Ink Vial and paper into the Ink Mixer to make a Linking Page, and then that Linking Page can be combined with paper to make an Unlinked Link Book. Descriptive books now require a Linking Page as one of their pages, as well.

A still can process a bucket of biomass every ~28 seconds, making a little under a third a bucket of biofuel in the process. Two stills should be able to do it and provide excess, once the boiler is completely warmed up. This won't be able to keep up with the fermenter, though. Both single...

At least with the current version of the relevant mods, most machines (possibly excluding the Quarry) will only absorb energy in units large enough to get at least some work done.

Gearboxes, at least in 2.2.8.3 and 2.2.8.4, are set with zero powerPerdition occurring every 100 units, so they shouldn't have power loss at all. Those are the only Forestry powerconsumers not using the default values, to my knowledge.

Shoulder Surfing usually gets thrown in at the first available opportunity. The default third-person camera is /terribad/. It's quite possible to have it work together with other things (and to the extent that some of the worldgen with ArsMagica looks goofy at times, that's a problem earlier...

Which version of Tinker's Construct are you running? In the most recent version, you must Put a stone or wood pickaxe head, or a wooden pickaxe head stencil, into the casting table. Then pour molten Aluminum Brass (3 Aluminum and 1 Copper) or Gold over it. This will create the matching cast...

Gah, thanks for catching that.

You only need one () after each method call, whether the method takes zero arguments or if it takes several. So : while true do turtle.place() turtle.dig() sleep(5) turtle.select(2) turtle.place() turtle.dig() sleep(5) turtle.select(3) turtle.place() turtle.dig()...

Does your current user have read and write access permissions for the directory involved? This can sometimes be a problem if you transfer files from one computer to another.

There are practical ramifications for mod developers or community managers, since the total number of users drastically changes the proper solution for things like file hosting, server design, and even forum tools. With the possible exclusion of Forge itself, no one's really taking that place...

BuildCraft created the API, but any mod implementing the full API will have at least the necessary PowerProvider and PowerConsumer code (though not all mods using parts of the BuildCraft API do, or include things like engines or machines). You can run ThermalExpansion, Forestry, and even...

The Compressor is fairly new. It's a pain to automate, but fairly effective. It's possible, just generally the worst tool for the job, and the worst problem to pick if AE is the tool at hand. It's very, very good at crafting things as devices on the network need them, but maintaining lower or...

Yes, although using this can be difficult. See here for documentation.

ThermalExpansion for water. Forestry for Biomass, Biofuel, Honey. MFR for its dozens of bizarre liquids. Liquiducts from TE to transport... think you only lose oil. AE can actually give you really fine-tune control over this, through storage buses, but that's admittedly not something many...

Big things for me would be the void pipe, void waterproof pipe, and combustion engine. ME Condensors can approximate the former, but they're not terribly good at it from an automation viewpoint, and ME doesn't do liquids and isn't likely to start. Biogas engines can't run on ethanol/biofuel...

As a code cleanliness thing, avoid x (and y, and z, and i) as variables outside of situations that specifically call for them. You also generally don't need to sleep between receives: an individual modem should only parse an individual message once per modem. You can also drop return values...

I think it only shows modules that have a right-click functionality; the rest should work automatically regardless of mode. By default, the "L" key will bring up the cosmetics tab. You may have to check your keybinds menu if it's changed. There is no module requirement any longer.

175ish buckets, and then 18 buckets per hour. You can use this calculator if you don't want to do the math.
