    Extra Large Multifarm--Best Use?

    My large orchard randomly runs out of water, but most of the time it's fine. Didn't know the rain had anything to do with it. Good to know. Lucky (I guess?) for me it rains all the time on my server. I've got 3 AA supplying it right now - connected with liquiducts. It's probably 90% effective...

    Flux in the End? (dimension)

    I can't imagine it will affect the overworld since they are different realms. But that sounds like a great place to do some crazy thaumcrafting. I think I'll set up my station there. In the middle of the end island, and hopefully no one comes along and finds me.

    best ways to get started in a new world

    muahahaha. Hmm, perhaps haste on them. I must try this. Although, I'm not sure how much that helps if you never walk thanks to enderpearls.

    best ways to get started in a new world

    Ender pearls, oh of course. But forget feather falling, portal boots for jumping into all your enemies' turtle pits (bases), and golden carrots, not golden goose. Gotta be invisible where all they hear is a thump from behind and then keel over as you gut them with your nano saber. lol...

    best ways to get started in a new world

    I'm hoping he meant after you get vanilla survival out of the way? But, lol, my answer isn't any better. The FTB world is your oyster. Go get that pearl. Also, it all depends on the environment you spawn in or decide to settle.

    lol i just kept making more and more barrels to store stuff them in... i'm a cheapskate :P plus i have tons of wood still. should have enough steel for another boiler by tonight and if my friend really does have as much as he said to trade, i can maybe make 3 more steam turbines to use all...

    Extra Large Multifarm--Best Use?

    Thank you! <3 I did two things wrong, lol. 1) I failed at actually having a successful redstone signal on the AA. I thought my jacketed wire would give it a signal. Nope, only transferred it to the block next to it. Structure pipe and redstone wire work much better. 2) had the AA on high...

    Can you post a pic of that ultradolp? I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around what you wrote regarding the liquiduct connection. It sounds like what I tried, but there must be something I'm missing since it didn't work for me.

    Extra Large Multifarm--Best Use?

    Oh, I forgot to post my power measurements. So the orchard is constantly demanding 75 mj/t according to the multireader. The arboretum demands 75 for short burst. Seems like 50% of the time. Peat farm is also 75, but I felt like I spent hours spam clicking for a reading. It was definitely a...

    oh! lol i'll give that a shot. less gates means more places to use gates :D i'll have to look up how to work with pipe wire colors, never done that before.

    Extra Large Multifarm--Best Use?

    lol yea. i've produced countless buckets of biomass. converted much of that to thermal energy and have made a few stacks of uu matter in a weeks time. that's not amazing production, but considering i have few bugs to work out, it's quite consistent. because i'm sick of quarrying the nether...

    Extra Large Multifarm--Best Use?

    Was there any other machine draining the power from the electric engines? And are they hooked up to energy conduits or conductive pipes? I read somewhere they take from 10-20 mj/t so I set up 4 biogas engines to start with, and one portable tankful as a starter. Then I hooked up a fermenter with...

    Epic Fail stories

    We have a couple guys like that on my server too! I'm so amused. Also amused they're going the solar route after the patch lol. They have finally progressed to actually using their matter fabricator, producing a whopping 1 uu matter per day. And they claim to have been playing with some of...

    Multi-Farm Orchard configuration

    You're quite welcome. I'm doing the same thing. It seems the squeezer doesn't push out the juice as fast as I'd like for sapling consumption in the fermenter, however I don't think the one orchard (plus some from the arboretum) can keep up with two squeezers and two may be too many apples. As...

    Destroy a turtle? Blasphemy! But, turtles are cheap, so no biggie, redo it. Maybe an uncrafting table would get the enchanting table back for you. And maybe there is a usage for an enchanting turtle.

    How do YOU power your quarry?

    For some I use redstone energy cells, like in the nether. My friend does this too but he's more advanced. He has turtles detecting when the energy cell needs replacing and it gets done via ender chests and they pull a charged one from his energy tower and then recharge the depleted one. He...

    Multi-Farm Orchard configuration

    I can't log into the game right now or I'd take a picture and get an actual count lurpy, but on a large multi-farm orchard I think I have 18 or so trees. I converted it from a normal arboretum so it was full of saplings and then I just let them grow naturally until there were no holes between...

    I tested this last night. The ratio is the exact same. Thanks for pointing that out. I just assumed it was less since I didn't properly test it out. The drawback is it's slowish and I have about 20 mj/t going into it so I don't think it can go any faster as I read the multi-farms use from...
