I've built a very simple experience farm using Melee and Exp/Anvil turtles along with a Tier V Skeleton spawner. I've got books in a chest above the turtle all spaced out, and it will automatically pull a book from above when it reaches level 30, enchant it, and drop it in a chest below it. It...

I'm not sure if I'm using liquducts exactly right, but they don't seem to work with Forestry or Extra Bees machines for me. I'd rather use them over waterproof pipes and gates to control flow, but nothing I do seems to work for them. They worked just fine attaching them between my steam boiler...

I'm going the Buildcraft route for a lot of my power in my base, since I'm doing some Forestry and Extra Bees stuff, and I'm somewhat concerned that I'm not going to be going about this the right way. Currently, I have one 36 HP boiler just sitting in my base, haven't even put one bit of fuel...

I'm going to preface this topic with letting you know that I am a complete novice when it comes to programming. I've taken one class of C++, which thankfully translates fairly well to LUA. However, that means the extend of my knowledge with programming with turtles basically extends to loops...

So I have some questions about automating item allocation with pipes, if I may. 1) What are the best pipes to use to minimize lag? I only know of buildcraft pipes and pneumatic tubes. Similar question for when I get a sorting system set up; should I just use diamond pipes to sort, or use...

So I know how to combine trees to get new species, planting trees next to each other and having bees pollinate. One thing I'm not sure about is how to move traits from one tree to another successfully, while controlling which sapling I'm getting. I'm assuming it's like breeding bees without any...

So on my server I'm doing tree breeding alongside my bees. I didn't want to waste a crapton of bronze on grafters, so I asked someone else who's doing Thaumcraft to make me a Thaumium grafter. I'm going to put a level 30 enchant on it and pray like heck for Repair II. Assuming I do get that...

So I made a quick and dirty setup to help me get drones while I'm AFK from my server. It's exceedingly basic, and I'm sure it can be better. However, I have no experience with BC, and haven't made anything from it yet other than these pipes (some I know I'm obviously going to have to fix soon)...

I'm totally new to bee breeding, so a lot of the smaller details are kind of lost on me at the moment. I know my first goal is to get Imperial and Industrious bees. From there, I can get started on the advanced machines to make genetic manipulation much easier. I know that whenever a Queen...

So I'm playing on the DW20 pack, and I'm starting to get into bee breeding. I've started following generikb's tutorials, and one thing I know from following them is I'll need a lot of princesses. The problem is that the bees he's suggested I'll need the most, Meadows, Forest, and Tropical, are...

I'm just curious if there are any lightsources I can use that won't melt ice. I know that I have to keep the light level of any block adjacent to ice at or below 11, and while that means I can be careful with torches, I'd like to know if any other mods have added light sources that don't melt...

So I've got a basic nuclear reactor setup going, and I eventually intend to expand it. At its best, I'll be producing about 360 EU/tick, and I'll never have to touch the reactor while it's running. Here's the thing; I'd like to automate it more so that I can use cooling cells, automatic...

In my new world, I wanted to give Computercraft and Turtles a shot. I sat down and watched DireWolf20's Computercraft tutorial series, which was a great refresher on how to program, and dove right in. First thing I tried to do was write a very, very simple refuel program to cycle through buckets...

So I'm starting to look into nuclear power, built a simple reactor following some schematics in an IC2 thread, here http://forum.industrial-craft.net/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=7681 One of the things they list is Running Costs in terms of UU matter, and I'm somewhat confused by what this...

I've got an Electrical Engine that I'm using to power some of the BC and Forestry crafting tools as needed, and I have a question regarding some of the slots on the GUI. I understand what the slot on the far left is for, circuit boards with tubes attached to improve engine performance, but the...
