    One bee to rule them all?

    I am going to have to go doctoral because... stuff. It also has several of the top end traits for making actual super bees. Plus, who doesn't want a Jelly Baby?

    Smarter AE Crafting Questions

    How on earth is that a better option than the level emiter straight to the export bus and the export bus straight into an interface? Please provide me one advantage.

    GregTech 3.0

    Of all the items my AE auto-crafts (and it auto-crafts a lot at this point), this is the one I am the most happy about.

    Man, if you want a super-fast device for on demand crafting it is going to cost a boatload of power now. On the plus side every device should be able to get down to 1 tick per operation even under the smaller stack sizes.

    Early AE?

    I *need* my 11 million planks and 64 thousand copper. Really! I shouldn't start recycling the planks or shut off my lava centrifuges, that is crazy!

    Smarter AE Crafting Questions

    For dusts I strongly recomend the GT electric crafting table. They let you get 8 types of tiny dust into a single device, and do not suck up slots in your MAC. They also have the advantage of storing all your stacks of 1-3 tiny dust so they are not sitting in your AE network. IIRC it takes 2...

    Smarter AE Crafting Questions

    Set an export bus to export straight into an interface (so it is exporting to the AE network). Set it to craft always (will ignore any in stock and just make them every time), and only on redstone signal. Now set up a level emitter pointing at the export bus. Set this to emit a signal when under...

    Early AE?

    If you want to go with super barels your better option is the deep storage chest from MFR. Holds a lot more, configurable sidedness, no power required, can be moved without spilling contents. It beats both AE and barrels for storing large amounts of single items. Once you do move to AE they...

    How do YOU farm trees?

    Ahh, so it might be what happens when just a harvester and planter interact with a tile at the same time. A larger farm would have the same effect as fertilizer on a smaller one in that regard. I imagine making the tree farm big enough would also be a valid workaround. As long as you can get...

    How do YOU farm trees?

    I have had this problem only when fertilizing groups of tress. It seems to be a problem when the harvester, planter, and fertilizer are all going at the same time and interacting with the same tile. I get around the problem by reducing my tree farms to size 1 once I have them continously...

    Automating a blast furnace with AE

    With all the tools now it is actually pretty easy. The combination of factorization routers, XY fabricators, and AE makes automating the whole chain require relatively few devices and resources, while being super easily expandable.

    Automating a blast furnace with AE

    If you are using your tree farm in a boiler consider using a TE sawmill instead of turning it into charcoal directly. You get just a bit more heat from the planks than you would from charcoal, and you probably are going to get plenty of charcoal byproduct off the sawdust to run your blast...

    What does YOUR Power Room look like?

    Aww, I just finished my 36 x 36 mega boiler and was debating posting new pics, but you have me beat. I did pack mine in to a LOT smaller space though. I made floors of 9 boilers each and pushed them right up against each other (well, with the 1 block minimum between them), using tesseracts to...

    AE ate my diamonds :(

    In this case since it was an isolated incident without any known info as to the situation that might have caused it, on a version that is 3? updates old, I think the OP might just have to chalk it up to "that sucks, watch for it in the future".

    AE ate my diamonds :(

    The second one you posted was actually me, and it only happened once I manually updated to the g version of the mod (after he tried to optimize some stuff). I am quite certain the bug was not present in the default FTB version. It also only happened when I was adding/removing disks while at the...

    Wood Oversupply

    9k is an overstock? Deep storage units my friend... deep storage units. Never know when you might need to cold-boot 9x 36hp boilers at once. I should really start recycling some of this stuff though, I probably don't need 6m planks or 5m flax seeds.

    Best way to use Biofuel?

    I give up. You seem to not grasp the basic concept, but thats ok, cause you have stated you have unlimited fuel, efficiency matter absolutely 0 at that point, feel free to dump half of it into void pipes, it makes no difference. Oh, I know, lets do a transportation analogy! A 36 boiler is a...

    Best way to use Biofuel?

    You seem to not be understanding the point. Your 36 HP boiler consumes a MASSIVE amount of fuel in that 6 hours. Such a massive amount of fuel that you would have produced more MJ per unit of fuel using a smaller solution. yes, the 36 is more efficient once at max heat, but that small savings in...
