Actually, in recent versions of Forestry, Apatite starts spawning on level 50, so you can find it all over the place if you're lucky now. Maybe you've somehow disabled Apatite spawns in the configs? Just seems weird that you wouldn't find any in an entire biome...

Ah, I'm guilty of that, sorry if you have ever experienced this :p I do thank and reply on the first few things, but after I've gotten what I need and the rest of the thread is more of a discussion, I just let it die off... sorry :x EDIT: On topic, I didn't notice this happening with TE...

Dang, that was well written... I'd like to add that Tesseracts will not send power willy-nilly if they are connected to a network; if there is nothing on the other end of the tesseract that can accept power, no power will be sent to that tesseract after it's internal buffer has filled up, much...

huh... Is forestry tree breeding really this unpopular? Am I the only one who enjoys it? I was expecting more buzz around this, guess this is why there was no thread here beforehand :P You can do a bit more selective breeding with the new pollen sieves in Alvearies, but yeah, I know what you...

Link to Binnie's site Link to mod spotlight by Haighyorkie EDIT: Direwolf has a more practical run-in with the new features in todays episode of his SMP series, if anyone's interested: Linky I think Direwolf mentioned it a few months back, but we haven't really heard much about it since...

Ah, that makes sense... Sorry for beating a dead horse here, but will 0.7 beta worlds be forward compatible with the new official pack? :x

I want to start a fresh world with the new beta pack (with Gregtech, as I want to use it for some later stuff), but I don't want it to affect my playstyle, so to speak. So how much does it change by default? I would prefer to be able to completely ignore IndustrialCraft/Gregtech until later, and...

say, what happened to 0.7 being renamed and made semi official? We still have to use the private pack codes to get it, right?

loss should really never be an issue. Even when stretching cable a long way (Say you have a central powerplant and want to feed all your satelite bases) you can still do this no problem without any powerloss whatsoever. Just use glass fiber cable, and then every 40th block, exchange one cable...

I still don't quite understand why you want to use three turbines per boiler... Are there any particular boons of doing this, other than a paltry boost of MJ? Seems to me you'd gain a lot more efficiency just setting up another boiler for EU production and have two boilers with four turbines...

You only need the turtles to move the contraption, DW saw to that. Again, the wells were not used for their intended purpose before, because they sucked at it. Through other mods, they became relevant again, but at the cost of obsoleting the quarry. Now, they are balanced in comparison to the...

Oh, absolutely. I've never used the nether method either. I guess I'm just a sucker for having lots of moving parts in my setup, even if there are better and more efficient ways of doing things.

Isn't it 200? Have to admit I'm not the biggest fan of Power converters, it's just too cheap compared to the other alternatives and feels kinda ...cheaty, I guess, but that's just my opinion.

Yes! After some more research yesterday I figured my info was way off, but I couldn't quite figure out the specifics, thanks! I did forget to edit my post though, which I will do now.

That's not really true, a quarry still have a default mining area, right? So you can just use a turtle to move it after a set amount of time or something.

isn't a properly set up mining well system stilll leagues faster than the quarry, though? DW's system uses less than 6 seconds from surface to bedrock, iirc.

say, which is better? Using the ethanol/biofuel for steam turbines, or using it for biogenerators?

Forestry!

-Redacted- Look below for an excellent explanation for how Liquiducts work :3 Actually, you can just do this, Linky, which is probably the best way for your setup, you don't even need to change anything, just throw in the new turbines at the bottom.

This got me thinking, what other ways of converting the steam you get from boilers to EU? After all, it's not a completely autonomous setup that can run indefinitely if you still have to mine the iron for the steel... I did some testing(Probably a well known way, but still), and one way is to...
