Addressing what you have now: If you are using fuel (and have a decent source) in those combustions, you can use it in a liquid fueled boiler. A relatively small 8HP boiler (2x2 box / 8 boiler blocks on top) will run a single Steam Turbine and produce 50EU/t. Head over to the Railcraft wiki if...

Favorite Mod: I dislike picking favorites, because each of them has something I truly enjoy, from barrels and routers to portable holes, boilers, loaders, carts, computers, linking books, fusion reactors, refineries, bees and dozens of other brilliant toys I'm regretfully leaving out. But...

Seriously? It's like you have a GT thread radar and make it a point to litter any constructive discussion with your bile. Everyone gets it, you don't like the mod and enjoy pointing out the flaws of those who do. Excal makes an observation about why he likes a certain aspect of it (which is...

Do you have power applied to the Fermenter? Peat / Stirling / Steam / Biogas engine, etc.

Fluke is correct, just a Mystcraft book (to my mining realm) on a lectern, on top of an oak plank block. I was lucky and found mushroom biome and eternal day within the first 3 discoveries. 10! Good to know. In a completely 'herp' moment, I placed the levitators after building the enclosed...

I stumbled onto the furnace relatively early in tier 2 .. and still don't have the bellow discovery. One at the back will have to do until I move outside to the "sky castle", a work in progress currently accessible by 4 stacked levitators in a glass elevator ;p Although the speed of the...

Too eager to get into TC before moving out of the cave results in a ... ... combination enchanting / mystcraft / TC lab. Three silverwoods out the back. "This is my Magma Crucible. There are many like it, but this one is mine." Beginner caves often have space considerations. An...

Additional Pipes (for phased transport), Treecapitator, Armor Status HUD. I wouldn't have thought much about phased transport, but Ender Chests + Wooden pipes were crashing my 1.4.5. Now that I have the phased pipes, I don't think I'll ever be able to do without them. I really like John...

Infinite lava with netherrack conversion. Infinite lava with a pump, from the same dimension. Choose your poison, but nerfing the crucible's NR recipe without considering the other alternative (which uses almost zero MJ) is a bit odd.

Why is this an either/or situation, particularly when the two systems are on separate power grids? Look, I love TE for a number of reasons and it is one of my favorite mods. And while it doubles ore it is not nearly as fast as an overclocked rotary macerator / induction furnace combo. There...

Compress the plantballs in a Compressor for an extra .1 bucket / per. Using honey or apple juice instead of water also gives a 50% boost.

Barrels + Routers is sorting bliss. Magic pack is awesome (and a great way to package TC3 with release), but I've been jonesing for some Factorization in my current map :D

Put the autarchic gates on the recycler side, set to pulse with inventory. I tested 2 recylers with 3x OC feeding a Massfab with a dedicated MFSU, and the flow is smooth on both ends. There's enough timing gap to add more recyclers as well.

Without more advanced logistical solutions you can do the old-fashioned split-pipe back into the chest after the wood (diamond for granularity, stone/cobble for a roughly 50/50 split) to slow down the feed. TE should be getting "has work" conditionals soon which will make this particular issue...

Solar is a usable injection, but an Iridium-producing reactor would pair much better with one running on D and T / H-3 cells! There's the truth. I've been trying to math out how much to have on hand for an initial 40M reaction on D and T, and how many centrifuges are needed to keep up the...

Omicron really has the best suggestion for SSP, which is to config a middle ground. Aside from slightly lowering the EU cost of the Matter Fab, you can slightly increase the gen rate of Iridium. This compromise removes the triviality of the Massfab and keeps the coolness that is GT intact...

Solar makes for an expensive tree farm. If your needs are more thrifty (early game), the TE Steam Engine (2MJ/t) will run the farm + a Powered Furnace. Pipe the furnace half the wood from the logger, give or take, pipe the charcoal to the Steam Engine. Minimal fuss. If you are keen on...

I ran across this issue and thought my netherrack quarry "world anchor" was too far from my pump (which was used to feed a magma engine running the quarry). I'm not sure if it was the pump or the redstone engines freezing up, or a chunk issue - though you could try to power the pumps with magma...

The Magma Crucible + Geothermal Gen is so powerful that breaking into the Nether is one of my first priorities. It also allows a single breakout point for BC/IC2 power (lava running TE magma engines for BC, GeoTherm for IC2). At first, manually mining rack and carrying it back is a viable...
