    Getting into steam

    It all depends on the size of your farm. My SC tree farm was 16x16. I was able to support 2 solid fuel boilers and 3 liquid boilers (full-size 36 HP). (I speak of it in the past tense because I only use one boiler now. So I void 2/3rds of the saplings and all of the logs.) I sawmilled the...

    Why do people hate Greg?

    Well, AE isn't installed with Mindcrack by default. But I found the Xycraft fabricators work well for coolant cells.

    GregTech Industrial Blast Furnace Help

    I've moved two blast furnaces and didn't have a single casing fall in the lava. It's not that difficult. And chrome really isn't as rare as people make it out to be. Yes, if you're making fusion, you're going to need a ton of chrome. But if you're just making a blast furnace or two, losing a...

    GregTech Industrial Blast Furnace Help

    You get two buckets and take the lava out first.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Just installed Applied Energistics and am getting ready to power up my stuff. The wiki says that AE takes either MJ or EU. Does it take a specific voltage of EU? The wire running next to where my AE stuff will be is 512 EU/tick. Can I just connect to it or do I need a transformer?

    What to do with UU matter?

    Make iridium, then go for solars. It's slow at first, but it gets faster with each Ultimate Hybrid you make. My first ultimate hybrid took me, I think 10 days to get enough iridium (then it turned out I didn't have enough gunpowder for the implosion compressor, but that's another story). Now, I...

    Something I don't get about bee breeding

    I'm having that exact problem as OP. I have 5 apiaries. And, coincidentally, I have about 5 princess at any one time. I have dozens of drones, but my selection of princesses is really small.

    Mac version constantly crashing

    I've been playing for a few months now on my Mac. I had some crashing issues when I first started playing, but they were solved by putting the following parameters in under advanced options: -Xms512m -XX:permSize=128M-XX:MaxPermSize =512m Since then, I've been playing mostly fine on a server...

    What does YOUR Power Room look like?

    A bit over a month since I posted this, and I'm pretty happy about the changes I made. Basically, I put all my excess EU production into matter fabs and switched to ultimate hybrid solar cells. It was really slow at first (over a week to get enough iridium to build an ultimate hybrid . . . then...

    I'm making a fusion reactor

    Honestly, I don't think a fusion reactor looks that hard to build. No, you can't get the materials after playing for a week. But really, you should be building power sources first, once you have a decent power setup, you're getting decent uu matter production already, so all it takes it some...

    Steve's Cart--cart keeps on disappearing!

    I suppose it could be lightning. Once, it came back to me and I had two carts on the track. The other two times, they were just gone.

    Steve's Cart--cart keeps on disappearing!

    I have a 16x16 Steve's Carts tree farm that power my base via 4 boilers (3 biofuel and 1 solid fuel--I can add a second solid fuel, just haven't yet). It's much better than a multifarm because you don't have to keep stocking it with anything--it self replenishes. Except for one thing--the...

    Xycraft tank.

    Something I just figured out. For some reason, smooth stone is not a valid tank wall, but cobblestone is. I have a question about resizing tanks. How do you do it? I know that with iron tanks, you can change the size without losing the contents as long as you keep the bottom middle block. But...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Thanks. I think I know what happened. The ignis jar was already partially filled. But then I added new jars and new markers. So it just used the closest jar. Unfortunately, while that explains why it happened, it doesn't really solve the problem. I might try your idea of putting the phials in...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I made a tallow golem to carry essentia from the arcane alembics to warded jars. It filled one warded jar with 48 of the ignis essentia. I crafted some more things and it collected 8 more ignis essentia. It put the essentia into a new warded jar instead of the one that already has 48. Is there...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Seems like you're talking about the steam turbine. While the commercial steam engine makes MJs, steam turbines make EU. A 36 block HP boiler makes enough steam to support 3 steam turbines, making 225 EU/tick. Bear in mind the steam turbines are ridiculously steel hungry. To make 3 steam...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Is there any way to change the orientation of a barrel? I used a portal gun to move a barrel, but now the front of the barrel is facing the wrong way. I've tried two different wrenches, the crescent hammer, and the screwdriver, and none of them turn the barrel around.

    Epic Fail stories

    My nether lava is glitchy. For some reason, it stops working, but if I go to visit it in the nether, it's working again. So I get to the nether, check my jetpack. Only 5000 EU left. So I put it in my ender pouch, where I have it hooked up to a charging station. I begin my long walk to the...

    Enderchest: My stuff is disappearing!

    How do you re-color your chests? The recipe of ender chest above three dyes doesn't work for me.

    Enderchest: My stuff is disappearing!

    It's disappearing literally a second after I put it there. and there's no one on the server right now.
