    Liquiducts and BC gates: is there an easier way?

    After doing some experimenting yesterday, my 3x3x4 managed farm supplies with apple oak saplings and only a one block ring of mulch around the farm supplied three stacks of apples in the time it took my 5x5x4 orchard with apple oaks planted on the greatest number of dirt blocks possible (17x17...

    Liquiducts and BC gates: is there an easier way?

    And apples keep growing despite the tree never being chopped down? Also, I noticed some people are specifically saying "apple oak" instead of "oak". Is that a specific breed of tree?

    Liquiducts and BC gates: is there an easier way?

    So the trees never get chopped down because I've changed the farm from Arboretum to Orchard?

    Liquiducts and BC gates: is there an easier way?

    I looked at Orchards but I didn't think it would be automated enough for my needs, it looked like I would need to plant my own trees all the time. Am I missing something here?

    Frame airships

    Since the Traincraft ores are essentially useless, I'm not too fussed about them. Good to know about the enchant, I wouldn't have thought of that.

    Liquiducts and BC gates: is there an easier way?

    Unless Forestry farms provide more apples per tree than trees planted and harvested in other manners, I'll stick with my SC2 method.

    Frame airships

    This thread is amazing! I've got two questions though: 1.) I've read in a few places that the IC2 miner only mines ores listed in its config; in the Mindcrack pack, are all of the ores listed or is some editing necessary. 2.) What are frubes?

    Optifine and FTB Mindcrack

    I'm currently using Mindcrack 8.0.1 which has Forge 515. Are there any potential problems with updating Forge to 518 such as other parts of the modpack working improperly or ceasing to work altogether?

    Liquiducts and BC gates: is there an easier way?

    To be honest, I'm not too sure at the moment either. I think I was using it for a different setup that I moved away from. Thanks for your input and ideas, everybody, I really appreciate them.

    Liquiducts and BC gates: is there an easier way?

    I'm trying to automate my biomass production which will optimally be supplied by apple juice but will fall back to water when necessary. This is what I've got so far: http://imgur.com/a/wc37X Apple juice tank on the left, water tank on the right. Apple juice tank is attached to an Iron OR...

    Help me find what's missing from the wiki...

    "Safely removed with: X" where X is Wrench, Electric Wrench, Crowbar, etc. "Power requirements: X Y/t" where X is a value like 32 or 128 and Y is EU or MJ or Charge or whatever. I would love to see this sort of information on every applicable page, they're probably some of my most repeated...

    Railcraft steam boiler and Buildcraft gates?

    I had the idea of connecting two iron tanks, one full of fuel and one full of biofuel, to a steam boiler with the purpose of using the fuel only to get the boiler to max steam capacity and then switching to biofuel to maintain everything. Steam is a liquid, so I figured the gates would be able...

    Any way to break down / recycle Railcraft blocks?

    After a failed attempt at producing lava via igneous extruders and magma crucibles, I now have a 9x9x8 iron tank that is sitting empty and useless. Is there any way to break down those Railcraft blocks into iron again? Or am I stuck throwing them into a Recycler and hoping for scrap?

    Most efficient way to generate lava?

    Previously I was pumped lava out of the nether using ender chests and liquid transposers and a chunk loader, but I'm trying to avoid putting that sort of stress on the server. Currently I have a 10.3 mB iron tank that is being fed by three magma crucibles which are each fed by an igneous...

    Nether lava pumps with chunk loaders are bad?

    I currently have the tried and true setup of pumping lava out of the nether via liquid transposers and ender chests and a chunk loader. However, after doing some reading it seems that there is a common opinion that this is a Bad Thing [tm], mainly because it can/does cause big-time server lag...
