What's the fastest hammer you've all made? I tried full electric ardite with an Emerald and three redstone upgrades and got 36.79. It's pretty darn fast, but not quite as fast as I'd hoped. I'd like to test out more hammers, but using up all their durability to max out the stonebound upgrade...

Well if you want to be zany, make hundreds of igneous extruders, then transmute the cobblestone into flint, flint to clay globs, clay globs into clay blocks, clay blocks into iron, iron to gold, and gold to diamonds. But more practically, Monster spawners. Pigmen get you gold, which you can...

According to the OpenPeripherals documentation, a computer connected to an ME Controller can tell the controller to craft an item, but I don't see how to check on the progress of the crafting. How would I prevent my computer from making duplicate crafting requests?

I'm enchanting some boots in my MineFactory Reloaded auto-enchanter, and the work level is in the negatives. I'm guessing it's due to integer overflow since the total work is greater than 32,768. My question is whether it's just a visual error and whether it'll ever complete.

So is the OP's spreadsheet out of date? Will MPS be in the newest version?

The railcraft wiki says the turbine outputs a redstone signal when the rotor is at 40% or lower. Thanks for the awesome explanation!

I just hooked a wooden transport pipe to a railcraft steam turbine, and it didn't connect. What gives? How am I supposed to automatically replace my turbine rotors like the wiki says I can?Is there any way to get transfer nodes to differentiate between damaged items? I'm guessing no.

You've got it backwards. 32 eu/p is the voltage. The eu/t on a line has no limit.

If a Railcraft Industrial Steam Engine is warming up, is it less fuel efficient, or just slower? Also the same for a Buildcraft Laser (the ones used for Assembly Tables). Do they use power less efficiently when starting out, or do they just use it more slowly?

It should actually be a 1 : 3.125 ratio. A 36 HP boiler produces either 144 MJ/tick with industrial steam engines, or 450 EU/tick with Steam Turbines.

Is it next to a redstone energy cell? Energy cells can power pipes.

Huh interesting. That was definitely the case. But it still doesn't explain why the turbines remained slow until I broke and replaced them, then returned to 100%. Is there any way to check how much liquid is being drained from a liquiduct? It seems as though the steam production or consumption...

I had the turbines charging a bank of six MFSUs. They were nowhere near full.

I did some testing and got weird results. When I attached steam engines, my turbines would slow down, even though there was plenty of steam left. I set up a 36HP boiler, with two steam turbines attached. Each turbine was connected at three blocks, which meant I needed to hook one liquiduct to...

How much of an Iron/steel Tank needs to be chunkloaded for it to work? How fast can an Iron/steel Tank valve expel/store liquid? If I make a huge wall of Redstone Energy Cells, will that cause problems? If I make a wall of igneous extruders and transfer nodes, will that cause server lag...

First, I'm going to pour all my liquids into one smeltery. I'll hook up Liquid Transfer nodes to my smeltery drains, then connect them to a variety of Iron tanks. Each tank will have a sorting pipe on its valve to ensure it only gets one type of liquid, and there will be a limited number of...

No need for manual killing. Use a Sword of the Condor for AoE damage together with a Deployer for automation. Bam, exponential skeleton singularity, and server crash guaranteed.

Fyi the brains didn't work because they're a Thaumcraft item.

I already told you it was never an issue for me in the first place. All I care about is power consumption.

All those all rely on the Forestry Fermenter. They're not a replacement for Forestry. The MFR Bioreactor on the other hand replaces both the fermenter and still. Of the options, there's no reason to use Buildcraft at all since you actually lose energy from the process. You might as well just...
