Sugar Field -> Thaumcraft Straw Golem -> TC Wood Golem -> Fermenter -> Still -> BioFuel -> ??? -> Profit! He's referring to the fact that MJ systems have a tendency toward lava or EU-based lava conversion, admittedly, I am guilty of this, because it's so quick to set up. Doing so completely...

Thanks. I still like them for the wood-extracts-gold-feeds headache, always running back to my chest because I forgot one or the other (and now the not exploding). But I will take the 5% in account in my design (I tend to double-buffer as a IC2 habit). Yeah, it's stupid-easy to abuse...

There's is a flat 5% fee at the point of consumption. Meaning, if you have 40 Conduits connected to to a machine, the 5% is extracted every time the machine requests power. The "final" conduit effectively stores 1000MJ, and I think the 5% is extracted when that charges. I am unsure as to...

Sorry, I didn't mean to be libelous. I like the BuildCraft guys, they do good, unique things. They add a lot of non-duplicated functionality to make things work seamlessly. However, a big change like that introduced on a minor version is kind of out of place, so that's just how it seems to...

THIS. Conductive pipes are broken right now. They explode if there's chunk loading issues (power won't be consumed and will build up just before the broken chunk). The author hastily got jealous of ThermalExpansion and added the storage feature without thought to SMP ramifications. That...

I prefer darker outlines. Nicer on the eyes. For that reason in Beta A I tended to convert GT Ingots to ThermalExpansion ingots where possible. Got sick of always confusing Tin with Iridium. And old habits die hard, even if he did re-skin the ignots.

Yeah, right now be careful with the OmniWrench (assuming Mindcrack) It will remove safes without regard to what's in it. Everything will be deleted. I think it's fixed in a newer version. But yeah, all the old exploits for deleting personal safes have been fixed. I don't think any of them...

All Buildcraft engines output energy on their "power" stroke. If the engine does 6 MJ/t and does 2 strokes/sec, then energy will be output as 2 packets of 60 MJ. The Buildcraft page highlights how many "strokes/sec" each engine does. The color temperature of the engine matters because it...

Word of caution: In native minecraft Y is the vertical. Keep this in mind when looking at the REI Minimap (which has X and Y as horizontal). Just remember a region is 512 x 512 blocks, from bedrock to 255.

Better is to use shell.run("your_program") in the startup file than renaming. This way you can include conditions such as detecting if a redstone signal is present on whether or not to auto-execute your program (as in the case of, say, XP Farms). Otherwise, if you ever do any os.eventpull()...

I forget, yes, you are right. 18k MJ. Cobblestone structure pipe + Iron AND Gates can detect when your Redstone Energy Cell is 75%, 50%, and 25% full (I think, it works for machines). You can use that to scale back your production. Have 2/3 of your engines turn off when it reaches 75%...

I don't know if you'll easily be able to do what you want. Alternatively, look into Magmatic Engines. They output 4 MJ/t, and will work in conjunction with your Redstone Energy Cell (when connected by Conduit) to only produce the exact amount of power required to keep the REC at 100%. I have...

There's a better command 'refuel all', that will already do this. And yes, name your turtles to save their state (and not spam your server with new computer IDs).

1. function Fuel() 2. if turtle.getFuelLevel() < 200 then 3. If you name your turtles (label set name [name]): a. It saves your fuel when you destroy your turtle..... I don't need to draw the lines but: i. Place turtle ii. Insert Lava bucket(s) iii. Type "refuel all" iv. Repeat for...

To be fair, for such a set-up you'd still need a diamond sorting pipe (to sort the bucket for recycling from the track output), or redpower filter. But yes. Automation, automation, automation!

Coal Coke and regular coal are worth the same in the Industrial Blast Furnace. 1 Iron Ingot = 1 Steel Ingot. Did you honestly expect anything different? Coal coke producing more Steel would be too OP!!!! ARG GAWR OMG WTF BBQ *rage head explode quit*

Yeah. And worst case scenario, you can go into your region folder and delete all the unoccupied regions. You just have to travel more than 512 squares to get new world gen. Not to mention IF they decide to release Ultimate on 1.5.0, all the mods will need to be updated for support. That...

Assuming you're using DW20/Mindcrack and not Beta A, use Fortune III without a doubt. A far amount of mods still use _actual_ diamonds and not diamond dust. It's not really worth the extra hassle.

I actually did this today on my server's FTB Beta A world. Worked like a charm. I used MindCrack + Mystcraft zip from DW20. Turned down GregTech nerfs. Made a new world and imported the old one as Mystcraft age. Just follow the guide. Note -- when copying your old 'data' folder, delete...

Not entirely true. I made a Hell-biome mining world. NO sign if instability. No curses, hunger, meteors, explosions, etc. But it still decays (extremely slowly). In fact I mined it by hand for a real-world week without knowing it decayed. But if I set up a chunk loader / buildcraft quarry...
