This is true. The difference with the DSU (and barrels) is that at least one item needs to be put in manually (to set storage auto-priority) before anything else will go in. As far as I have tested, AE will never put anything into an empty DSU or Barrel that's connected to a storage bus, at...

It will go into the DSU if you put a bit of cobble in it first. If you don't put cobble in the DSU first to "prime" it, the cobble will go to a disk

Most likely Biomes O' Plenty, the version in the 1.1.2 packs did that. Update to 1.1.3 and it should fix itself (or just update BoP, there was a hotfix release for this issue)

MFR has definitely overtaken Steve's Carts for the most effective tree farm. You'll still need to work up a stockpile before starting a boiler though. With MFR, you can either make a default range planter and harvester with a fertilizer, or a near-max-upgraded range planter and harvester without...

The only thing you could do is supplement the charcoal with other fuel sources while it heats up. If you have a healthy stockpile of normal coal or something, start feeding that in, otherwise just let it cool down and try again when you have a better charcoal stock. But once it is finally at...

Yep. A storage bus can integrate storage into the AE system, the controller treats it like an ME chest. They work on normal chests too, but that's only marginally useful. Before you hook up the DSUs, make sure you don't have any what's going in them in the AE system, as usual AE will keep...

Seeing a screenshot definitely helps. Since it looks like each cell has it's own bank of engines, it may be a good idea to set up a gate on each cell to start it's bank of engines. That way it doesn't matter as much which one is taking more of the load. It would also be much easier to just use...

The Nether would work just as well. So would the End, for that matter. As long as it's a seperate dimension, it'll work if nobody is there and it's chunkloaded

Most likely, the output is drawing from the buffer cells as you want but they're being recharged so fast you don't see it. RECs in series transfer charge instantly if input is greater than output, if you throttled the output speed on the right cells to less than what's being used you would be...

Yeah but it can definitely get annoying. A fertilized farm can make a ton of noise since it's harvesting almost constantly until fertilizer runs out

I agree with this, but with extra emphasis on once. I'm glad I went through it the first time, but after that I happily cheat sheet on every new world I make instead of grinding it out (same thing with Mystcraft pages). If research gets reworked I'll definitely go through it again properly...

Couldn't hurt to have a tank of steam just in case the boiler goes down. I've never tried it to see how long it would last, but it would keep some power going for a little while.

Default keybinds changed. Menu should be the equals key, you can rebind from there

I add ArmorStatusHud (Bspkr) because numbers are easier to keep track of than a durability bar, even though it acts funny with TConstruct tools and any electric equipment. Also Additional Buildcraft Objects since I switched to Unleashed, even though I barely use it

Electric engines work, especially a few with upgrades. Or Power Converters, arguably OP but very effective (if a bit boring)

No, the only anchor config options are for personal anchor fueling, the range seems to be hardcoded

You need to make a saw first, then put that into the crafting grid with blocks to cut them into micros. If you've used either RP2 or Immibis microblocks, it works about the same way they do

Unleashed is the replacement for Ultimate, just with a new name. Grab it from the launcher

Agreed, that and redoing config changes make me hate updating. But even with that annoyance I still think defaulting to disabled makes sense

It changes the world pretty drastically even on its tamest settings (or completely overwrites vanilla worldgen if you want). A lot of people don't like that so it's disabled by default. Better to default off and have people that want it enable it, than to default on and have people that don't...
