When I built a barrel system for my group in a pre-release FTB server I was running, I ended up having to use diamond pipes for each barrel for exactly this issue. Kinda sucked, but we had the mats by that point. The other option is to use routers, which has the advantage of being easily...

You, sir, get two thumbs up. Crouch clicking the question mark to auto place a recipe from your inventory? Genius!

Should work fine, with the added advantage of having an overflow chest for items that didn't get a barrel.

That problem is due more to how basic BC pipes are implemented than the barrels themselves. The primary reason tubes are so much better than pipes is that tubes always send items to the closest valid destination. Pipes seem to make random decisions at the individual block between the available...

That would be a bit silly, wouldn't it? Banzai, the IC2 Miner, when used properly, pulls every ore out of a 9x9 square all the way down to bedrock, leaving as much of the dross behind as possible. Then when you pull out the drill it pulls all the mining pipe back up, and you can move it...

What about IC2 food cans?

To the best of my knowledge, you need to enclose it all the way around, bottom included.

I typically just dig down at an angle first thing, and just mine like hell. Gets me out of any surface based effects, and gets me to the good stuff pretty quick. Also, I like your "outrun the armageddon" title for it. I think I'll steal it for future use. :) They say that the definition of...

You need either an enchanted pick or a mining laser and a pair of brass cojones to keep up with the corruption. As long as you can keep outrunning it, you do ok. I set up an Enderchest system for automatically charging ultimate lap packs, and I can pretty much go indefinitely. Yes, you miss a...

Or you could just spam a book with 15+ dense ores symbols and run like hell! Mine what you can, and then get out. I can usually last 60 minutes+ in such a world before having to port out with my modified linking book, during which I can get a CRAP load of ores.

Um... perhaps I am misunderstanding you, but "down to a fresh layer for another Miner run"? Miners dig straight down to bedrock. All you need to do is move the whole frameship forward 9 blocks and the Miners are ready to go again. If you are REALLY smart about it, you can automate the system...

Even at <3min for processing 32 iron ore you will run into problems with my suggested mobile harvester. You will probably be looking at more like 5-6 stacks of ore in that 3 minutes. 1 IC2 miner produces pure ore faster than a quarry. 7 or more running simultaneously? It'll be coming out...

Miners do NOT present less of a challenge. The cobble/sand you pull from a quarry typically get syphoned off from a processing system, and therefore do not bog it down. This makes the quarry much slower from the perspective of the ore processing system. Plus, the power of a frame ship is that...

Kinda thought that might be the case. I haven't really experimented much lately, but I remember having massive issues trying to get RP working with Forestry back in the modpack-that-shall-not-be-named. If they hook up correctly now that would be awesome. I tried routers, but they ended up...

I'm curious as to why you use regulators on top of the arboretum and the farm instead of filters, which would be cheaper? Is there something in the Forestry mechanics that require the higher tier device?

Well, mob traps have the added benefit of experience gathering if you set them up right.

I would think blutricity storage would be measured in watt-hours.

A tier 5 zombie spawner, a melee turtle with turtle.attack() in a permanent loop, and a brain in a jar. I go down and collect the XP every few minutes and make another level 30 enchanted book. Don't even have to kill the zombies myself, and I don't lag my server with too many zombies.

Well now that you put it THAT way... :) RP2 the CRAP outta that!
