    Where to start?

    Can't comment on nebris as I don't watch him, but not sure about your advice to watch Etho. He's flitted about too much and doesn't go into any detail with the bio stuff - certainly nothing that would be of any use to a newbie anyway.

    Best setup for a solar powered GT Matterfab?

    It would seem that I am mistaken! I have just tested them in ours and they do indeed work okay. This has puzzled me actually because I'm sure we tried them when we first made it and it wouldn't accept them (??) - also I thought I read a thread on here about them not being accepted in the...

    Best setup for a solar powered GT Matterfab?

    The MATTER fabricator does not take scrap boxes so there seems to be some confusion in this thread with MASS fabricators - 2 completely different machines. The set up for the MATTER fab on our server is as follows : 2x remote mystcraft quarries feeding into a single coloured ender chest >...

    The rainbow oak... to chop or not to chop?

    How do you get canopy tree saplings? I've been using canopy wood in my builds so have been chopping a lot down in the Twilight but they only drop spruce saplings from what I've seen. Am I missing something? Playing beta pack.

    Mystcraft Decay

    You'll be able to see within anything from 1 second to about 15 mins whether you have decay. If it's not immediately obvious on the surface (look for blue, red, black or white "blocks" everywhere incl up in trees etc) then sit about for up to 15 mins and watch your minimap. If there's decay...

    How to get IC2 Copper?

    You're not macerating your copper ore, you're putting it straight in the furnace that's why you're getting the ingots on the left side. Macerate the ore first, then put the dust in the oven and you'll get the ingots on the right.

    Cobble: Keep it or destroy it?

    Depends whether you're running or plan to run a matter fabricator for UUM. If you are then you need to be running it all through a recycler and storing the scrap in a barrel feeding the MF. I have a MF running off 5x ultimate panels (makes 1 UUM every 5 mins 30 secs) and even with 2 quarries...

    Autarchic gates

    I don't think that's correct from my experience with them. As I said, I had a chest full of dirt and the gate was set to pulse if items in inv. I monitored it for the full time it took to take all 27 stacks out (approx half an hour) and it stayed at the same (slow) pace throughout, basically 1...

    Autarchic gates

    Using these stand alone on a wooden transport pipe, is there any way to have them pull out a full stack of items in one go instead of single items? I'm trying to get into using them instead of having electric engines everywhere pumping stuff out of chests and IC2 machines, but I'm not seeing any...

    Automated Mining, RP2 vs BC vs Steve's Carts

    :D:D:D Too funny! (although not for the guy whose base it is!)

    Redstone energy cell - best way to charge?

    Thanks guys. Unfortunately I don't have any steam power or boilers set up yet. I think the electric engine route is probs the best way to go for now then. And @ Icarus, yes I'll make a chip for each one. I already have the upgrade chip in my quarry so know how to make them, I was just...

    Mystcraft + Quarry story

    He doesn't have tubes as he's using the Beta pack like myself (no redpower) so we're generally stuck with BC pipes or RC loaders/unloaders for moving items about.

    Redstone energy cell - best way to charge?

    I'm just experimenting with Thermal Expansion for the first time as I want to try out the redstone energy cells with a filler and a quarry. I (wrongly) assumed that it was the molten redstone that "became" the energy inside them, but having just turned my empty storage frame into a redstone one...

    Mystcraft + Quarry story

    You don't need tracks or any of that stuff, not even portals. You are playing in beta so all you need coming off your quarry machine is 1 stone pipe straight into an ender chest. In your factory you have another ender chest with the same colour coding and then a wood pipe with 2x electric...

    Taking on a Large Hollow Hill

    Nano leggings on their own won't do anything. You need to be wearing all 4 pieces for it to work.

    Asteroids In the End

    Are these islands in the beta pack as well? Or just the other packs?

    How do you create a stable Mystcraft world?

    Thanks, that works, although there is no such option to set cloud colour, only sky, sunset and fog. Are any of the flat land biomes at Y64 ? I created a flat land plains biome for quarrying but the Y is at 89 which means 25 levels of nothing but crap until it gets started. I noticed that...

    How do you create a stable Mystcraft world?

    Thanks guys. The trick of selecting many different biomes and/or several of the same one seems to do the trick. :)
