You could use an auto crafting table but that's not what I meant. The icon on the bottom-right of the export bus lets you set it to "Always craft items", then it'll constantly craft and export that item until it fills the inventory using the ME system to craft it. Then you have that just go...

One way I've found is to set up an export bus to craft it, control it with a level emitter, drop into chest, and then import bus it back into the system. Not very cheap/clean but I couldn't find a better way.

My understanding is there's 2 types of information that can be stored in a block, the damage information and what's called "NBT" data. Redpower handles damage, it ignores NBT data. Items which are storing their metadata in the damage data it can handle, ones which store their data in the NBT...

Ok, now you've said what you're trying to achieve... you really don't want to yank the whole drive out just some materials... For the automated systems & keeping stock it sounds more like a Level Emitter and an Export Bus would do the trick. Use the level emitters to measure how much you have...

Not sure if you can pull them in/out of drive bays or ME chests, I'd be quite surprised if you could (Cause for the chest how you'd tell it to get that and not the items I don't know, and the drive bay... I guess maybe it could work but i can't see how you could control which ones you're pulling...

You should be able to get 95MJ/t out (100 cap - 5% cause of conduits on other side). Are you sure the machines at the other end are actually capable of taking more than 55MJ/t?

This does not obligate you to give your mods to everyone. It just means you can't make money off them. A mod maker can put whatever license rules on it (Within the limits of law), and the only restriction mojang's comment has made is that they can't make money. They never said "you must make it...

Thanks for the info - figured there must've been a limit, nice to know it's 100. Surprised I couldn't find it - checked all the wikis I know of & did some searching but got nowhere so thanks again :) Going to guess the 100 is pre-25% loss (for 75 sent, otherwise it'd be 133 1/3 input to get 100...

I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about limits to the amount of power you can pump through a tesseract (MJ/t wise)? I know you lose 25%, but is there any upper-limit to how much will pass through one tesseract. I haven't been very scientific about it, but in my setup I had about 20...

It's not a bug - it's actually in redpower's FAQ that this is how it's meant to work & that "bug" is the key thing that I was trying to work around with the above setup. I agree it's a bit of an odd design decision & really limits retrievers, but it's hard to argue with it when the mod maker's...

Well, so long as you produce more of it, yes :P If you use it to produce something else without consuming it, the thing you produced is renewable, not the thing you used :)

Well then ender dragon eggs are sustainable for the purpose of generating EU. And I don't overly feel like centrifiguing it today so does that mean it's renewable? (PS: I don't think we should, but just trying to point out the flaw in using "sustainable" cause I can argue anything is sustainable...

So bwilb, the key distinction is that the princess is destroyed and recreated where the dragon egg stayed a dragon egg? So hypothetically if they let you macerate a Dragon Egg into Dragon Egg Dust then recompress it back into a Dragon Egg this would make Dragon Eggs a sustainable resource? What...

But that'd be a totally subjective statement. I could go to silly extents of "I don't plan to build anything so everything's sustainable", but even without taking it to that extreme my supply of dragon eggs is sustainable because I'm using it for a gregtech power generator which doesn't use up...

Well technically pickaxes you can get infinite of because wood is unlimited and so is cobblestone, so if you want you can make as many pickaxes as you want. But yeah, technically "renewable" is true for princesses because you don't necessarily use them up unless you choose to, but they're...

I don't think it's quite that simple - bees that need redstone torches don't spawn more redstone torches, nor do rock bees result in massive amounts of stone everywhere... it's not implicit in needing the flower but a lot of bees do spread their specific flower :) Speaking of bees, princesses...

If you want to cheat your way there, just use a mutator in an alveary and feed it nether stars - 100% guaranteed mutation every time. That said - what you really need to do is each time you find a new bee type make sure you solidify your position before trying to move on - get a purebred...

But then I can only have 2 machines per buffer chest. Given the scale I want to go to that'll mean I need multiple buffer chests. Now I have the problem of pulling items to the buffer chest not working properly because the retrievers interfere and oh god we've gone full circle back to the...

K, I've mocked it up in my creative world and I've solved my problem. Each machine takes 1 retriever, 1 regulator and 2 transposers and then I can guarantee the output of the final regulator will always be balanced. Screenshots are attached This shows the barrels for the system. You'll see a...

The only other way is to make the analyzer block, but it still uses liquid honey meaning you still have to squeeze honey drops. I think it uses slightly less in terms of drops per bee, but I haven't done the math. One thing I have noticed though is that if your drones stack (e.g. are identical)...
