    Automated animal breeding?

    The Railcraft feeding station. Plonk it in the middle of the pen, place in a stack of wheat/seeds/carrots and you're set.

    GregTech vs. EE (My argument *against* the addition of EE)

    Seldom have I seen so many words used to say so little. You dislike EE. That is not an accusation, it is a statement of fact. You dislike it because its crafting is not as complex and involved as GT. This dislike is so strong that you wish it to not be included in the Magic pack, or the...

    Oh boy...

    A nether portal will not activate in a Mystcraft age. You can use NEI in cheat mode to give yourself the portal block itself and place one.

    GregTech's changes and Ore Gen

    Both those items, as well as the advance drill and chainsaw, are from Gravitation Suite, not GregTech.

    Powering Oil Refinery

    If they're red they're in forced cooldown, wasting fuel. Forestry engines, like BC engines, always produce at their full rate. Higher temp makes them cycle faster, outputting smaller, more frequent energy pulses which are more efficient with conductive pipes. For maximum efficiency use power...

    This may sound like a noob question, but...

    To be clear, this is an appropriate place for noob questions. By default loggers output sapling to pipes on top and wood on the sides, and everything to a chest on any side. This can be changed in the config. Interestingly, if only part of a tree is within a logger`s range it will harvest...

    Thermal Expansion Sawmill questions

    Question about forestry biomass

    With the Magic Pack EB saplings do not work in the fermenter, however NEI shows biomass recipes for them. All of them except redwood do work in the arboretum.

    What mod is all the new reactor items from and does anyone know of a good set up!

    GregTech adds plutonium and thorium cells, an indestructible neutron reflector, and helium coolant cells.

    Magic World - where to start?

    Peat produces 1.25 times the energy of coal or charcoal. It will cook 10 items in a normal furnace, and generate 2000 MJ in a stirling versus 1600 for coal. In a peat-fired engine it will burn 2.5 times as long, for 5000 MJ total.

    Energy Issues - Matterfab

    1.6m EU at 1EU/t? That's about 23 hours per UUM, or 1 iridium per week. Wait, let me double check that... It's actually 16m EU, so 231 hours per UUM, or 9.6 days. Not much UUM? You don't say.:rolleyes:

    Unobtainable log variants?

    The saplings are balsa, sequoia, larch, cherry and lime.

    Magic World - where to start?

    Unused steam is not a problem, excess MJ is. Railcraft engines will explode if their internal power buffer fills up, which can happen if their full output is not being absorbed. This is unlikely if they are hooked up to a pipe or conduit. On the engine GUI you can see current output per tick and...

    How to stop mobs from spawning in your house?

    It does indeed look friggin awesome. If you're unwilling to play with the config until you're happy you could install Plugins for Forestry, which adds a recipe to make clay with beeswax and sand, dirt or gravel. When Extra Bees is ready it's river bees produce clay. Staying within the beta...

    Energy Issues - Matterfab

    I did some experimenting with a matter fab and a quantum generator. I filled the matter fab with scrap and started upping the output of the generator. It got it up to 100k EU/t before I quit. Max packet size is 8192 before explosion. The matter fab, like the mass fab, seems to have no maximum...

    How to stop mobs from spawning in your house?

    Using F3 to check light levels you want to look at "BL" not "RL", and the number is the light level at head height. If the light sources are at head height or higher the block your standing on will be 1 level lower; if they are on the floor the light level will be 1 higher. Clay can be...

    Unobtainable log variants?

    Saplings for some of the upcoming trees are in the version of Forestry included in the Magic Pack. They can be found in creative/NEI, and supposedly in dungeon chests. Why don't they stack? Link

    Getting Bee wax from bees

    Did you place frames in the apiary? Untreated and impregnated frames can be crafted, proven frames can be traded for with beekeeper villagers. Without frames an apiary will produce at a greatly reduced rate. Frames wear out and must be replaced by hand; they cannot be affected by pipes or other...

    Question about wooden waterproof pipes extracting from iron tanks.

    Gold waterproof pipes have 4 times the capacity of other pipes, and steam is used in such large amounts that is difficult to store effectively. A redstone engine or autarchic gate is sufficient pump a wooden waterproof pipe at max speed, but that is only enough steam to produce 2 MJ/t in a RC...
