I have 3 HP36s running so by my calculations that means I need 3x18 = 54 industrial steam engines hooked up to them. So I have liquiducts on top of each boiler covering all the 9 block spaces and liquiducts linking them altogether which then goes down a single line of liquiducts where they...

Try turning off your in-game sound and see if you still drop to 3 FPS when the train comes in. There was a thread on this issue a while back and it's believed to be the games sound engine that causes the FPS drops. If you also get massive FPS drops when walking about near lava in the nether...

When you finish, save it, then exit. Then type 'startup' and hit enter and it'll run :). Also, if you want to stop the program, press and hold CTRL+T together for about 2-3 seconds. Took me ages to figure that out (thx to guswut today) - I always broke them instead! :eek:

Barrel works just fine. Put it against the bottom layer of the boiler casing, attach wood pipe underneath and makes sure it's orientated the right way so the thick end is under the barrel and the thin end attached the fuel box, then get a basic autarchic gate and attach it to the wood pipe, set...

Ah! Didn't realise that there would be a < 25% fuel option for that. I reckon that will work - thanks! :D

Thanks chaps. I tried both the 0.5 and 0.2 snoozes but to be honest I haven't noticed any increase in performance. Turned it off for now til I figure out what to do about the excess XP orbs that are lagging us out. Any ideas on how to get rid of the excess or are XP turtles the only option...

...with only BC stuff? The apples from my SC tree farm are not quite providing me with enough mulch to "fuel" 3 fermenters and I'm running a very small deficit. The moistener would do the job but I'm having problems automating it with BC pipes. The trouble is that when the last mouldy wheat...

It should be worth pointing out that you can't harvest apples in the 'orchard' farm from normal vanilla oak saplings, you need to do a whole bunch of bee and tree breeding in order to get the actual saplings which will work. I found this out the hard way earlier today when I decided the answer...

Thanks Guswut - I didn't know you had to hold down CTRL T for a few seconds. Now, another problem. The basic script works and deposits into a chest behind - that is great - but it's nowhere near keeping up with a T5 wither skeleton farm. Rather than use water I have a horizontal crystal...

So I used this from computercraft forums but it doesn't work. while true do for i = 1, 9 do turtle.attack() sleep(1) end for i =1, 16 do turtle.select(i) turtle.drop() end end Can anyone tell me...

bobster, thanks a lot for posting that! I don't know how I missed it... :eek:

You don't need fertiliser for SCTF if you make your track loop anything other than tiny. My track is an 'E' shape with an extra 4th arm of the 'E' (roughly 30x20 in area) and with 2 cargo managers/distributors it produces enough wood to run a solid fuelled LP36 and 520 EU/t for my generators...

As above, do the mod pack change logs get posted anywhere? I'm always interested to see what's changed between versions but I can't find anything on the launcher nor this site. I'm interested in everything that's changed between DW5.1 and 5.2 for example.

Thanks, however as you've also identified, this is not ideal because the tool/item would need to be completely discharged which is not something you'd generally do. I mean if I wanted to chuck in my quantum suit for example, it's highly unlikely you'd ever be at the point where one or more...

Trying to concoct some set-up so I can remotely charge up my electric tools on the move but I'm finding it harder to do that I an anticipated. I thought that I'd be able to do something with an ender bag and some BC gates in and out of an MFSU but I'm having 2 issues : 1. is that I can't find a...

Is it not possible to put RC tanks next to each other? I was pretty sure I'd seen in a YT video someone with a room full of them all touching each other, with different liquids in each ??? It doesn't seem to matter what I try, as soon as I place a tank block next to my existing tank it shows the...

Hmm mixed responses. The water is for placing (primarily), not for machine use. So some say it can be placed and others say not. Will have to test this later then when I'm on the server.

Q1. Can you get water in the nether in FTB without cheating it in? Q2. Do ghasts spawn on xycraft blocks? Eg. if I make a building with a large enough area for a ghast to spawn inside, but make the floor out of xycraft blocks will it prevent them (and pigmen?) from spawning in there without...

You appear to be forgetting the small detail that you need power to make the scrap in the first place. So you're using power to make scrap to make power.... Pointless exercise.

If you're happy with no more than 10 EU/t and a stack of ore taking 1 hour to smelt then yeah, go for it.
