    What just happened...

    Yea, playing on hard mode so it went boom on the torches. Now I know to not just tentatively back up, but to high-tail it out of there when I see it next time.

    What just happened...

    First, I'm playing on the Horizon's pack, with a few additional mods added. So while I was mining in my tunnels, I broke a block and all of the sudden, green gel like blocks started to fill the tunnel. I started backing up and away, then after about 15 blocks were spawned they blew up leaving...

    SC Treefarm and Making Insufficient Sapplings

    Nothing with my set-up has changed - running fine for two weeks, slowly generating a small surplus of bio-fuel, then update and not producing enough bio-fuel. Either I'm not getting enough saplings, or enough apples anymore. It is hard to tell which, since I didn't really keep track of numbers...

    SC Treefarm and Making Insufficient Sapplings

    Your farm size can easily run three 36HP liquid boilers. I used to run 4 boilers perfectly fine, but since the latest update I've noticed a decrease in my sapling production, and it was having trouble keeping up with 4 boilers - I had to tap into my reserve barrel of saplings, but that is...

    Bee Automation

    I use the extra bees machines, but they are almost all manual. The genepool gets auto-fed the extra drones. I don't find them being manual that big of a problem, as I only really use them to get a new bee ready for production (Giving it flyer, nocturnal, etc) which doesn't happen very often.

    Boilers will pull from an adjacent inventory. Just stick the chest right next to the fuel box.

    I don't use a gate system, I have two sawmills with two hoppers on each, hoppers fed by filter. The sawmill's into a double wooden chest, which the boilers pull directly from. I void the sawdust at the moment.

    I have a 16x16 SC Tree Farm running two boilers on planks alone still, with no issue. My problem after the latest update is I seem to be getting less Saplings, and my biofuel production is having trouble keeping up with 4 liquid boilers. I've had to tap into my reserve sapling barrel for now.

    Wither Skeleton Soul Shard - What am I doing wrong ?

    I think Vorpal on wither skeletons just give skeleton heads, much like pigmen give zombie heads.

    Wither Skeleton Soul Shard - What am I doing wrong ?

    This is false - at least it was in Mindcrack v7, and I do not see SoulShards as being updated in the v8 release. I used a tier 2 wither shard to collect many a skull.

    If you sawmill them, you will get 6 planks, each of which will provide as much heat as a single log. Collectively, more than 1 piece of charcoal as well.

    Assistance with an Automated Boiler.

    I run 2 solids on planks and I'm slowly generating extra logs. Logs and planks give the same heat, so as a pure guess based on the output of my SC tree farm (16x16 E shape) I'd say no. It would triple my log usage to run just one solid boiler; I don't think I'm producing excess fast enough for...

    Had a rather annoying glitch? happen last night. The tank (buildcraft) that my squeezer pipes into decided it wasn't going to accept any liquids anymore. Since it wasn't taking liquids, the liquiducts backed up, causing the squeezer to stop squeezer as its output was full, causing my mulch...

    Assistance with an Automated Boiler.

    No idea why.. I just know that when I had only 1 sawmill directly outputting to my chest, I watched the chest quickly start emptying - causing me to swap back to pipes temporarily. Both boilers pull from a single double wooden chest. I watched as the sawmill was replacing what one boiler was...

    I have my system up and running - I'll post pictures later on (at work right now). I am successfully running 2 solid boilers and 4 liquid boilers. I'm pretty sure I could set up a 5th liquid boiler if I wanted to, not so sure on a third solid boiler - But first I need to put this power to use...

    Yea, I have some extra dimensional barrels that are filling up so I can get them started. Do you know how much biofuel it takes to heat up?

    Awesome - Got some changes to make after work and then hopefully start getting it fired up. Thanks for the help, much appreciated - I'll report back with results :D

    Assistance with an Automated Boiler.

    I think I might try that - I already have SC running on logs (its main engine is solar). Will boilers pull directly from chests?

    Would I need to regulate the system with a timer/filter though? Wouldn't my relay fill up, so the Sawmill wouldn't output, so the hoppers would fill up, then the filter would fill, resulting in the logs going to my barrel instead? Trying to avoid timers.
