    The Final Word on Steam Boiler Efficiency

    If things haven't changed much in the latest versions, you should without any issues be able to connect 6 more turbines to your setup. Each boiler outputs a total of 40*36=720 steam per tick, each turbine only need 320 steam per tick, so with two turbines connected to each boiler you actually...

    Power generation using lava and water.

    That's the RedPower Thermopile, which is used to create small amounts of Blutricity. Hope this helped! EDIT: Linky

    Mod Pack Update

    Ah, but I want to play using the NGT recipes, while still being able to craft and use GregTech's machines :)

    Mod Pack Update

    What do you mean? I'm assuming that the configs are vastly different between the two; if I use the NGT pack and add Gregtech, wouldn't the GregTech configs clash violently with the configs of the other mods? That's what I feared... Is there a resource somewhere that lists what I need to change...

    Mod Pack Update

    That looks neat, thanks! But aren't easy recipes just the vanilla recipes? I really like the homogenized setup in the NGT pack where for example Mine Factory Reloaded uses Thermal expansion type recipes. MFR's vanilla recipes are a bit too lenient imo, but at the same time Gregtech hard recipes...

    Mod Pack Update

    say, if i wanted to play with the WGT pack, but use the recipes from the NGT pack, is this possible? how would i go on about setting that up?

    Cutting down on some mods?

    Ooh, I like that... A question, if you'd like, if i were to add IC2 and Gregtech to this (strictly because some of my machinations requires ol' Greggy, I would probably set the configs so that i would require a bare minimum of IC2 in the recipes), would this break anything? If it does, any tips...

    Bees?

    This might be a bit hijacky, but, anyone here know something about how the dominant and recessive traits works?I usually just go with the punnet square when trying to transfer traits from one bee species to another without using the extra bees machines, and it has worked well in the past, but...

    Windows .exe FTB Launcher not downloading/updating modpacks

    Allright, did a completely fresh install as per the instructions of the post above. Same deal, unfortunately. As the entire process stops at the "Downloading modpack, please wait" phase of launching the game, I had to cancel the download window to gain access to the logs. The process stops at...

    Windows .exe FTB Launcher not downloading/updating modpacks

    Hi! I got the urge to play me some minecraft after a few months' break, and decided to make myself a fresh new world with all the updates since the last time I played. So I went ahead and deleted my minecraft folder and my .minecraft folder and the downloaded the latest launcher on the FTB...

    Tree breeding - Need more apples!

    Don't forget to breed those cherries with balsa to get that delicious triple saplings trait as well!

    Tree breeding - Need more apples!

    Any chance of bringing back the old fertilizer recipe as an option in the configs as well? :P Forestry is my favourite mod bar none, but the fertilizer mining kinda messes me up a bit on my friends' server when I only play every other week ... :)

    Steam Boilers vs IC2 EU generators.

    I don't really mind the treebreeding, really. I've dabbled with it a bit on creative, and it's quite simple to do even with just standard forest and meadows bees. I was breeding Apple oak with Balsa to get the 'triple' sapling trait onto the oaks, and got that within an hour. 3 of those...

    Steam Boilers vs IC2 EU generators.

    The yield from vanilla saplings will only be 1/4 of what they are now(0.8), unfortunately, so off a single fermenter you can now only run a single still even if you use fertilizer and liquid honey/juice (according to my calculations, correct me if I'm wrong). That's pretty bad :x Maybe there's a...

    Not enough saplings...

    Hi! I recently made myself a SC treefarm (1.4.7 btw) in the hopes of making biomass for biofuel to use in a boiler or two. Problem is, I don't seem to get enough saplings... It worked fine at first (I had assembled a buffer of saplings whilst setting up the fermenter), but after a couple of...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Related to the above; If I wanted to automate a moistener so that it doesn't fill up completely (jamming it), is there a way? Could I use Managers? I've tried regulators in the past (way in the past), but they worked less than ideally. Thanks! So Basically, a single fermenter should be more...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    1. How many fermenters can a single forestry multiblock farm supply? (Assuming just standard apple oak trees and water in the fermenters) 2. How many stills for making biofuel could a single fermenter supply? 3. How many HP36 boilers would a single still supply? I think I saw a thread...

    A Player's Guide to Redpower 2 Blutricity

    Wow, this is confusing ... Could someone a fair bit less stupid than me help me out? I'm setting up a centralized power plant for my base, where I intend to have every kind of power generation going on, and I'm planning the redpower part of it at the moment. Originally, I figured I'd set up...

    Forestry 2.0-why?

    Ah! I did not know that... Well then! All we need to automate it is the enderpearls and some dirt then? That's pretty good, and I'll probably have that as a sort of an end goal.
