No problem, I read that as well and I wasn't sure either ^^ But from reading (sloppy reading that is, I must admit) some posts here I got the idea it was already usable.

How do you charge Power Suits with BC MJ power? Because I know with IC2 you can use charge pads or just stick it in some form of power storage/generator, but there isn't really anything like that for MJ power as far as I know. If you can do that though Power Suits can replace most of the...

I found 1 in my previous world (Mindcrack), I'm not much of a caver though. It was from a regular zombie spawner close to the surface. In the worlds before that I made them myself, but back then the recipe didn't require a Nether Star. So yeah, since the recipe change I haven't seen much...

Maybe I should've said a "continuous investment of power to make more power". I mean Magmatic, Combustion or Biogas engines also take energy to make, not as much as Solar Panels, but still. However after you've made them they need power to make their own fuel (pumping lava, smelting rack...

I know that. Maybe I need to explain it differently. I tried to avoid maths, but I guess it can't be avoided in this case. According to the wiki: 1 Water Bucket = 1000 EU 1 Water Bottle = 2000 EU So if you can make 1 Water Bottle with 1000 EU they are equal to Water Buckets. Because they...

Well each bucket costs 3 iron, for the amount of Water Mills I have there you'd literally need a ton of iron for the buckets alone. Also Water Bottles produce 2EU/t vs 1EU/t from water buckets (which means every Water Bottle is worth 2000 EU, while every Water Bucket is only worth 1000 EU). I...

I don't know if you're also interested in IC2 power, but I toyed with the idea of a super efficient Glass Bottle factory to power IC2 Water Mills. Basically you have Igneous Extruders producing cobble, that gets turned to Sand by Rotary Macerators (fast and low power is key here), smelted into...

Seeing how there isn't anything other than a vague idea I can't tell. I don't like the solars we have now (the kind that you just plop down and you're done with it), but if it's something more unique I might consider it. Good luck with it though ;)

tbh I don't mind the vanilla redstone mechanics and can easily live without red allow wire and any of the circuits RP2 adds. I prefer BC pipes and AE over RP2's sorting systems and I don't use Microblocks either. Really the only things I'll miss are things like Block breakers, Buffers...

Thanks for the list ;) And I have to say those shaders look pretty nice. I haven't used any shader mods so far, but maybe I should :D

I once had a similar issue while trying to put Wooden Rails into a Steve's Cart via the cargo manager. When I opened up the cart, to see if it worked, I saw pieces of my armor in there and 2 seconds later the game crashed. When I restarted the game my chest piece was gone, it wasn't in the cart...

Redpower also has a color coding system. As far as I know RP2 tubes are smart enough that you really don't need anything like a diamond pipe.

I agree, games are played for fun and in the case of mods you shouldn't be doing stuff you don't enjoy. That said, the way you play you are setting a balance standard for yourself by not doing things you consider too easy or too hard. In fact, I think it's very hard to not set a standard for...

On the last list I've seen BC, Railcraft and TE aren't on 1.5 yet. I will be waiting until they will be converted. I don't mind losing RP2 for its technical features (I won't like it, but I can live without it), but I did set up my base under/in/near a cool RP2 volcano :/ Though I might be...

You can also lower the interval at which MC auto saves (with Optifine). By default MC saves every second or 2 or something crazy like that, on a system with a hard drive that isn't blazing fast that can cause a lot of lag. Heck, my HDD is fast and even I notice a serious reduction in lag when I...

On the whole Factorization + Induction smelter exploit, if that would work why not just use only the Induction smelter? I mean you put in 4 dusts, 6 ingots come out. Turn those 6 ingots to dust and smelt them again in the Induction smelter with rich slag and "hey presto" now you've got 9 ingots...

That ^ Ultimate needs an update (MFR isn't the only mod out of date).

You could also combine different types in a pattern of some sort. Usually I like Spruce + Birch, but I think greenish + redish woods (Acacia + Jungle for example) could also look good together. And then there is of course logs + planks in various patterns.

btw, guys MFR farms have a pretty small harvesting area right now, but in the future there will be upgrades that will allow them to maintain larger areas. So in the future they'll probably measure up to Steve's Carts and other farms quite easily (assuming you can provide enough resources to run...

D'oh, that's true. So confusing though because it stores stuff on cells which resemble hard drives (from PCs) and you put them in a rack that's called a drive (which resembles a drive rack...). But technically that still makes it more than 1 block because you can't access a drive directly. And...
