GT translocators can be used to do a similar function. Can someone who has used both compare them in terms of transfer speed and "reaction" time? (For those who don't know, GT automation currently only checks the input every 10 seconds, so if you put something in it takes 10 seconds to get...

BC pipes only drop items when they can't send them anywhere. There is no other possible solution to that, other than maybe automatically voiding them. Pipes can't store overflow items in themselves (otherwise you could use them as infinite chests), and doing a backflow a la Redpower would take a...

It couldn't. You can't normally output (or input) items through the front face.

What exactly is the hopper in the second picture doing? It's inserting into the left machine, but there is nothing else that can put items into it. Or is it somehow magically taking items out of the right machine?

I am 100% able to pull items from a barrel using a filter. To put fuel in a generator, you have to pipe it from the bottom. Using 100 and more generators is such a ridiculously bad idea that I'm not giving you any pointers on how to do it. Worst case you will go and use it on a server...

Do you mean my program? What error are you getting?

Just a basic autarchic gate. (All three.)

I am not exactly sure what all of you are smoking when the OP is clearly looking for this. Left is input, right is output. Left-most gate is set to Inventory empty -> energy pulsar. All other gates are set to Redstone off -> energy pulsar.

I'm not watching a 30 minute video to see DW's setup, when I can look at a screenshot of your setup and probably see the problem in a few seconds. "Machine randomly sends to another instead of a chest" doesn't sound like "shooting stuff out". I'm not sure what your problem is. Please describe...

a) What does this have to do with wiring? b) Show us your setup. c) What exactly shoots out of where?

Perhaps try being less annoying and you might get a response. (It is a bug with BC gates. You need a block update to propagate the redstone signal from the gate to the wire. Or use GT translocators which don't have this problem.)

If you are limited by the total farmable area rather than number of XYsoil blocks, then stacking helps you. The area might be limited by chunk loaders, golems' effective range, whatever your automation is requiring a fixed area (Forestry farms), space in your base, etc. If you don't have any...

I did some empirical testing: I set up several farm plots: 64 blocks of standard dirt (baseline). 8x8x1 blocks of XYsoil 4x8x2 XYsoil 4x4x4 2x4x8 2x2x16 1x1x64 XYsoil (each plot contains 64 blocks of XYsoil). I planted reeds on each plot and set a pair of golems to harvest it. The figures...

That's a vanilla thing. An animal will only follow you for some time, then it resets and you have to wait for a while to attract it again.

Animals will follow you if you hold their favorite food (wheat for cows), even when they have to swim. As an alternative, you can lead them through a Mystcraft portal or a nether portal to shorten the distance you need to travel.

Water needs to be touching any two sides of the AA. The first setup is okay, the second is not. There is/might be a very rare bug when an AA stop for no reason, even if you have water around it. I have observed this twice in SMP, but I can't reproduce it. If that happens, break and replace the...

Find a server which doesn't have it then. I can recommend one if you PM me, our admin really cares about balance and disabled all the "E"E nonsense and many other cross-mod exploits.

Episode 4 is now available in the archives. We have automated a fuel production system for a boiler using wheat as the only input resource. On Friday we are going to finish the whole system by adding an automated bee production line to get honey, other bee products, and craft a few useful items.

The igneous extruder doesn't require any power whatsoever, and lasers don't drain any power unless you are currently building something from the assembly table. That might be why there's no power coming through - there's simply none needed.
