    Computercraft Question...

    Totally possible. Using the rednet API over the modems is probably the easiest option.

    Factorization Barrels, SC Tree Farm & Extraction

    Retrievers will pull from barrels but you have to extract from the bottom of the barrels, not the top or sides.

    Liquiducts and BC gates: is there an easier way?

    Here's my apple-juice-when-available setup: Aqueous Accumulator in lower left takes in water like usual. Squeezer in upper right makes juice when it can, which goes to small tank. Gate on the waterproof pipe is set to turn redstone on when "liquid in tank". This turns on the redstone engine...

    Redpower Lags Client

    I'm curious why would red alloy wire be worse than regular redstone? Is there any difference aside from wire's wall-climbing features?

    Automating Factorization

    For the Crystalizer you can also use multiple Routers, each set to insert a different slot. I tried that in creative and it worked well enough. Not exactly cheap to set up in SMP, however.

    An idea to prevent Nether lava exploitation

    How does one install Bukkit with FTB? I may be misinformed but I thought it was incompatible with Forge.

    Item Recognition in FTB?

    You could also pipe the items through a Interactive Sorter block (MiscPeripherals), to trigger something when items match a specific ID. Would require light amount of Lua.

    Best way to transfer from Tubes to Pipes?

    Is it the TubeStuff mod from Tekkit that contained the Incinerator block? Could always add that via a custom modpack if you felt the filter-to-lava thing was no good.

    Problem with Chunks

    So the quarry block auto-loads chunk it's sitting in, and the chunks touched by the quarry frames. It may not be covering the output chest or your pipes/blocks powering it. Look for those falling just on the other side of a chunk border or something. Although if you have a World Anchor...

    Problem with Chunks

    Turn on the chunk outlines in REI's minimap. Might help you see if one of the chests or other components is falling outside the loaded chunks.

    Problem with Chunks

    Are you keeping your world anchors fueled with ender pearls? By default they require them to function. You can disable the fuel requirement in the railcraft.cfg file on the server, however.

    Biogas and Apples

    I run apple juice to a fermenter. It generates more biomass than using water.

    Turtle Script - Anyone see my mistake?

    Yes, turtles can read/send restone signals. With MiscPeripherals they can also read/send wireless redstone signals.

    frame motors and their limitations. . .

    In "config\redpower.cfg" on your server, you can increase the link size: machine { frame { alwayscrate=0 linksize=1000 }

    Chunk Loader Turtle problem

    I'm experimenting with Turtles equipped with the Chunk Loader Upgrade from MiscPeripherals. It appears to work as expected as long as one or more players are logged-in. When all players log off the server, however, the next unloaded chunk the turtle enters causes it to go brain-dead...

    CC to RP2 gateway

    I don't have an answer, but what would be the point? Serious question, I've used CC plenty, but I'm not too hip to RP computers.

    Just a few redpower questions

    Quarries will put output into any adjacent inventory, such as a chest or (I believe) a Relay. The Relay is a nice pipe/tube adapter and will auto-eject it into a connected tube.

    Just a few redpower questions

    That retriever will become a valid destination for items it's set to receive (things you've placed in its inventory). If you've put nothing in the retriever's inventory, it will be a valid destination for all items. Whether or not it gets the color-marked items you intend it it to depends on...

    advanced displaying

    Tekkit has a mod called CCSensors that supported getting inventory info to computers. Like others, I wrestled with it and was unable to get it to work reliably or as-advertised in SMP. I later read something about the mod being discontinued. I hope a replacement is developed soon, it would be...
