Requiring the smeltery for vanilla tools would cause the opposite problem of forcing people to maintain TiCon for autocrafting purposes later on, which many would perceive as being even worse. The point with ExtraTiC is that this is purely an FTB problem and TiCon is not to blame for it. If...

Your first complaint is IC2's fault. The laser is cool and all, but it's simply neither effective nor efficient for actual mining. Botania, Blood Magic (spell) and TTkami can easily keep up with TiCon for the endgame. Signalum was added by ExtraTiC, as was Enderium for that matter. TiCon without...

BiblioCraft and Railcraft have "lantern" style blocks, Thaumcraft also has three but they're functional blocks. ExtraUtilities has 16 colour variations of the vanilla lamp and glowstone, plus the "argh my eyes" Lapis Caelestis blocks which also glow. For generic "block" lights, EnderIO lets you...

I believe it's largely a historical artifact. TiCon originally came up with the tool nerf as an optional choice for enforcing its own progression system independently of any modpack. Of course this concept got hosed in modpacks due to other means of obtaining the relevant materials like...

You need to define a filter somehow, so unless you use SFM or computers you'll still need to extract a sample of each relevant block first. Once that is done you can place a storage bus on the chest, set the filter on that, and increase the priority higher than anything else in the system (that...

You should be unable to access any part of the subnet from the main network unless the tutorial you followed set it up in both directions. As long as the storage bus+interface combo is the only connection you shouldn't be able to access any autocrafting, that means you set it up correctly. The...

There probably is, but I don't have one at hand. It's really easy without a video though: Just place a full-block ME interface on the cable line where your buses keep breaking. Ensure none of the following components touch your main AE network, so in case of severe DireWire make liberal use of...

Try to replicate part of your ME system in a creative test world. Start with just a drive+bus+terminal and see if that works, if not your AE installation is broken. If that works start rebuilding other features of your main net, like the controller, the length of cables, other devices on the...

Okay, that sounds extremely odd. The point of the interfaces isn't to replace the buses btw, it's to make sure an AE device can function in that specific block space. What are you using for storage? If channels permit put your stuff in a chest/barrel with a storage bus right next to the target...

Did you rotate the machines, change their side configs or, in the case of TE machines, remove the augment that unlocks configurable faces in the first place? Replace the buses with interfaces and see if they work (deposit items, local provider feature). Also try a crafting pattern for the...

Check the channel count at every network intersection. If any of them is even close to max load, investigate to make sure you didn't miss any "non-critical" devices that might have gone offline ages ago. Level Emitters also use a channel, for example. Check if the energy cells actually drained...

Maybe that farm isn't chunkloaded and you happened to spend your recent playtime too far away from it? That doesn't explain the bonemeal, but judging by your hotbar you shouldn't be spreading any "ghost blocks" that might block tree growth. Did you change anything since the time it worked? Is...

Sounds like a chunkloading issue. If you can afford it just load all chunks containing ME cables or other infrastructure. Also double-check your channel usage across that entire section of your network, unlike chunkloading a lack of channels will cause other ME components to fail while your...

The 3x3 tools have an intrinsic, multiplicative mining speed penalty, which also seems to apply to redstone modifiers. It does not apply to the Stonebound modifier though, which gives you an option for a very potent hammer, albeit with a drawback: Ardite. Here's some stats where I filled up only...

One half-way solution would be Steve's Factory Manager. It still requires listing everything you may find, but you can place the "ghost entries" without actually having a sample at hand. Additional filter slots cost nothing and you can add hundreds of them if you need. The problem with your...

Or power? A wireless access point can massively increase your energy demand, and Quantum Bridges tend to fail if you don't chunkload both sides and/or provide local battery storage.

For some fringe cases (like the "villager vacation portal" ;)) you can use filtered outputs and redstone logic to manipulate the fluid order by pumping from the bottommost layer and into a drain on the topmost one. Setting up logic for more than 2-3 different fluids isn't worth it though, just...

There was one issue where the game displays the main menu again for a while after you start loading a world. If you don't do anything the world will load properly, but if you click to load again (thinking the load button bugged, for example) parts of your inventory will get wiped. That aside, if...

Or just use a killing mechanism without a target cap. ExtraUtils Diamond Spikes, TiCon scythe or smeltery, Liquid Death for essentia (destroys regular drops!) or just a vanilla lava blade. Of course this will rapidly flood any storage system not designed to void all possible excess drops, so be...

There are some other projectile-negating foes, notably Botania's Gaia Guardian and some tools available to other players. Being unable to kill randomly spawned Endermen also is quite annoying for a general-purpose weapon. That said for anything that does take projectile hits the crossbow easily...
