    How would I go about obtaining Radioactive Bees, as have next to no experience with bee-stuff. I need uranium, and it's either bees or mining, which if I did do it would need to be something that I can just let run forever just like DW20's Mining Well frame set up.

    So in the past I have done a couple different power sources. Used multiple HV solar panels (tekkit), I recently made the 36 coke oven/5 boiler set-up which works amazingly well considering it's 100% self sustainable. Though it does cost a ton of Clay. I actually outputted the steam so I had 2...

    On the recyclers instead of the Export bus?

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    How would I make it so I can keep x amount of a resource that I'm recycling within my AE system? I figured I'd just be able to make a 1k cell with x material and change the bus on the recycler to a lower priority, but import/export don't have a priority.

    I'm using ME Storage Buses in combination with DSU's to store mass quantities of items, though I'm having a small problem. I chucked Scrap into one, and put my scrap cell into the IO block to put all the scrap in the DSU automatically, as I would have expected it to. Then I made some DSU's for...

    Steam, to power engines or convert?

    So it is somewhat balanced all compared to one thing (smelting an object), It'll never be perfect. Though in my honest opinion, I would never use these converters. I'd rather overengineer something to do the conversion. Also the converters seem to be dirt cheap to craft. Also, while I'm sure...

    In AE systems, what do people do with those materials you have tons of. Like coal from a with farm, or any other soul shard farm. or perhaps UU Matter. At first glance all I can think of is have an ME Drive with storage cells, and have 1 item per cell. Just like using barrels.

    Steam, to power engines or convert?

    From what I understand Power Converters is hugely overpowered in that it gives you much more output than it should. One conversion gives 4x what it should. Also who doesn't want loads of ind steam engines pumping away.

    I made a Diamond Drill earlier and used a Fortune 3 book I found the other day on it. Does this work exactly as a Fort 3 Dia Pick? On coal it does x2 and a bit more. On Lapis I broke 2 ore blocks and got 18 and 8 lapis for them. But whenever I use it on Redstone I always get 5-6 dust whereas...

    So I'm the guy that tried running a steam boiler with Blaze Rods. Then I found out rods don't drop often enough to keep the boiler fully fueled so I changed to Wither Skeleton for coal. Which while it does work. The mechanic of no-one being near it, despite the fact it's a T5, it doesn't...

    I haven't looked into MFR at all so far. I'll have a glance at their wiki. Back to the original question. Can a T5 Blaze continuously power a 36HP boiler. Forgetting for a second everything but lag and whatever else. Just talking about blaze rod output.

    No-one has to be near. It's a T5. Is there a less laggy way to kill Blaze other than dropping them in water? I could do some MFFS thing, but I've never messed with MFFS so that's out.

    Can a T5 Blaze spawner constantly fuel a 36 capacity steam boiler indefinitely if it's always on?

    What about formatting of the drive? Would the clean drive some how copy it or?...I like my chests organised. Also I'm using ME Chests rather than a Disk Drive. EDIT: Figured it out. It's actually remarkably simple. Put the old formatted disk in the formatter and then take it out. The formatter...

    I filled up a storage module thing earlier(applied energistics) when I put in all my blocks. Decided to upgrade te size of the module. I made an IO Port thinking that would be what I'd need to copy everythig onto the larger device, but it seems that only does storage to disk drive and vice...

    I'm aware of how to fix it temporarily. I would just rather prevent it from happening at all. It's never happened before on any other server, and I wasn't using/activating the minimap when it happens.

    I recently started playing on a friends server, but every so often the game acts as if I'm holding a button (WASD/space) even if I'm not touching the kb. I was told it's a side effect of playing on servers that aren't local hosted, but surely this can be fixed somehow? After I noticed it a...

    I made an Enderman shard the other day on my server and initially had it in a quicksand thing so they'd get stuck and suffocate. However I made other shards so I wanted to convert the Enderman chamber into a fall death chamber for other stuff. But when I put the ender shard 45 blocks above the...

    White box text (optifine+tex pack)

    I added OF by putting it in a random folder and browsing for it, as well as chucking it in the folder with the forge zip so it auto appeared. I don't have any other TP's. But I don't think it happened with default. Yes it's 1.4.6 OF on 1.4.7 MC, the version after 1.4.6 is 1.5.1
