    Automatic Coke Oven ?

    Personally I would just use and Insertion pipe and make a loop with BC pipes. Also, I'm not sure why everyone is saying the stuff needs to go in the top, but I have a Coke Oven making Charcoal and I feed it wood from the side and pull out charcoal on another side. So I'm guessing BC pipes...

    Confessions: I never ... even though I'm told I should.

    I know in Creative you don't die and you do just drop from a great height. At least all the times I shot a portal to the moon in creative that happened if I got sucked in. I've never shot a portal to the moon in survival though, because I've experienced how easy you can get sucked in in creative...

    Can someone recommend me a good BuildCraft energy setup?

    For starting power I don't think there is much that can beat a Combustion engine running on Oil. It only costs some Iron (in my experience cheaper than Bronze) and will produce plenty of power from 1 bucket of Oil. If you plan on using renewable fuel in the long run Combustion engines can also...

    Power Setups

    Whatever MJ/t they produce, I've tested them side by side and the Combustion engine is the clear winner. I basically gave both 1 bucket of Biomass and stored the power in Redstone Energy Cells, after substracting the cost to convert the Biomass into Biofuel the Combustion engine still produced...

    Eloraam has not disappeared. (random half related topics)

    Apparently the horse model is a copy from Mo'creatures and the author of that mod is helping Mojang. I seriously hope not all the lame and stupid animals/creatures from Mo'creatures get into MC. I mean I laugh at how the guys from Hatventures mess around with them, but in my own SSP world? No...

    My Mindcrack Base(WIP)

    On the topic of pulling stacks out of inventories with BC wooden pipes: the good'ol Stirling engine also pulls stacks and can run on the wood you're farming anyway. I think you could also slap a Redstone Energy cell next to a wooden pipe, which is insanely fast. And if that works: Tesseracts...

    Distribution Pipe Woes

    np ;) The "on topic:" bit was for Bigglesworth, though I'm hoping he found a solution by now.

    Distribution Pipe Woes

    GitHub with info: https://github.com/tcooc/AdditionalPipesBC Downloads: http://www.mediafire.com/tcooc I'm using that mod in Ultimate and it seems to work fine. On topic: You can see how the pipe works by throwing in items, if it's not distributing properly I can only guess something isn't...

    Confessions: I never ... even though I'm told I should.

    I've never made an enderchest (not vanilla and not from the mod) and I don't think I ever will. I've never done anything with Thaumcraft. I've never made a Lava centrifuge in survival. I've designed many contraptions in creative for survival purposes, but never actually built them in survival...

    Suggest Mods for FTB Here

    This probably has been suggested before, but I'd really like to see these mods in the pack: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/682821-14715bc34x101-additional-buildcraft-objects/ and http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1614036-1467-bc-addon-liquid-metals-0118/

    Redpower 2 future in FTB?

    As long as the other mods aren't up to date this discussion is kinda pointless as we all still have to wait regardless. If every single mod in Ultimate is up to 1.5 and RP is the only thing preventing a release then I think RP should be dropped (assuming we still haven't heard anything from...

    AE & Multiple Input Processes

    I'm pretty sure the Advanced ones can put stuff in any "side" you want (similar to Routers, except only on adjacent blocks). But I think each one can only put stuff into 1 side, so I think you need 1 for each side you want to put stuff in. tbh, I don't think it'll get any cheaper than a...

    What's the best way to mine on the Ultimate pack?

    What I recommend for mining is a Standard Hull with: - Coal engine - Basic Drill -Torch Placer - Large Railer - Bridge Builder - Top Chest - 3x Internal Storage - Liquid Sensors - Height Controller That should fill up the entire hull with only 2 point to spare, I think. Going for any other...

    Favorite FTB Pack?

    My favorite is Ultimate, but I modified it quite a bit. The problem is that all packs have mods I like and ones I don't like. I had hopes that the Tech pack would offer everything I want (because I prefer tech mods), but it doesn't by a long shot (a tech pack without TE? no thanks. And I want AE...

    Early AE?

    You can if you setup the system to keep a stock of something, because then you can just use a level emitter to turn on/off anything you can control with redstone. It might not be the most elegant way, but a system that just keeps a stock solves many problems. For example a system that keeps a...

    Early AE?

    Well I like it really early, before even getting beyond wooden chests I get one ME chest running and swap unformatted 1K cells. It'll give you plenty of storage early on and you can easily have a chest with cells you just swap around. If you separate common and valuable stuff you should very...

    Ugocraft -- Inchworm Drive, Alterantive to RP2 Frames?

    I've been fiddling around with Ugocraft and I think it's a bit of a shame it doesn't work with any mod blocks. I mean I would understand if it wouldn't work with special blocks like Tesseracts, pipes and stuff, but basic blocks like red rock from EBXL is a bit weird I think. That said though...

    What's the best way to mine on the Ultimate pack?

    As far as I know MFR's block breaker doesn't use tools, at least not in the MFR version that's in Ultimate atm. Immibis's block breaker (the transparent one) does use tools though and that does work with enchantments (I just tested it with Silk Touch and that works fine). I don't know if it's...

    Old Adeptcraft - A collection of memories

    You can put wood in them and turn it into Charcoal, that will also give you creosote. Usually when I get a tree farm going I don't know what to do with all the wood anyway so I usually toss some of it into coke ovens to make charcoal for torches/smelting/etc.

    Ugocraft -- Inchworm Drive, Alterantive to RP2 Frames?

    I didn't realize changing IDs is all it needed to work with Ultimate :D I thought it didn't work regardless of that though (in the mod suggestion topic it also says it isn't included in FTB because it's supposedly incompatible, which suggests more than just IDs). I'll probably give it a whirl...
