    Is there a way to mimic comparators?

    They can, but only in minecraft versions that already support signal strength and therefore also have the comparator.

    Auto-repair armour?

    Thank you :) The output chest is meant to feed into a loop over barrels with the fully repaired items inside and after that back into the input chest. That way the fully repaired items get stored for later use and the partially repaired stuff gets reintroduced into the system.

    Auto-repair armour?

    Okay, but you would still have to sort the items before you can put them into the craftpackets, because a craftpacket with a damaged helm and a damaged chestpiece wouldn't work, right? edit: okay, I remade my repair script. It should work with any kind of items, as long as you filter out the...

    Auto-repair armour?

    Yeah, it seems that was changed some time ago, but crafting two fully repaired items works and just destroys one. So you could output to a set of barrels after every successfull craft, looping the overflow back into the input chest. Although in my test-setup, neither Soulshard nor Vanilla...

    Auto-repair armour?

    I don't have the complete code anymore, but I believe you needed one crafty turtle and four chests: we'll call the chests I (input from the mobfarm), O (output to your sorting system or whatever), A and B (for cycling items through). pseudo code: while less than 2 items in inventory grab...

    lua

    I'd change that code a bit, because if your turtle is in a situation where it can't put down the chest (block or mob in front of it), it would drop all the items on the floor. if turtle.getItemCount(14) > 1 then turtle.select([slot you store chest in]) local chestPlaced =...

    Compact Diamond Machine

    If you click the picture, it will lead you to the Imgur album which includes a full step-by-step tutorial on how to build it. The short form is this: cobble is pulverized into sand and gravel, the gravel is pulverized further into Flint. The cobble is also melted down into lava for obsidian on...

    Compact Diamond Machine

    So, I've been seeing several designs for machines that produce diamonds from Coal, but most were pretty unwieldy, really expensive in terms of energy and sometimes hard to service if anything went wrong. Playing around in creative mode, I finally managed to put the whole machine (excluding...

    The Best Power Source

    I've been playing with a fast and space-efficient scrap-producer for my flatland challenge and came up with the following in creative: Put down a recycler, hook it up with 3 sets of 4 overclockers. Put a crafty turtle on top of it with a script that turns cobble into cobble halfslabs. If you...

    Buildcraft math

    I blieve it works like this: You hook up the Combustion engine to the quarry, either via pipe or directly. The combustion engine starts putting out 6MJ/t which get stored in the 1000 MJ buffer of the Refinery. Once the Refinery has enough enough energy stored (25MJ) and the minimal time since...

    Flat challenge, anyone?

    Thx man :) If you don't already, you should check out the imgur link in the origional post. I occasionally update the album with progress. As for the challenge itself, I usually try to automate stuff in a way that requires no outside input in normal FTB anyway, so I thought why not take it to...

    Flat challenge, anyone?

    That sounds like a great idea, do you have any information on how the hive spawning works? Like, how high is the chance of a hive to spawn, etc?

    Consume per Production

    The Energy Quick Reference might be what you're looking for in terms of Buildcraft / Forestry machines. For most Thermal Expansion machines, the needed energy is shown in NEI when you view the recipe.

    Using blaze rods to power generators?

    One thing to keep in mind when building the spawn/kill room for a t5 spawner is kill-rate vs spawn-rate. A common killking method for blazes is a floor of water pushing the drops to a central collection point. Since the blazes take quite some time to die from the water and the spawner seems to...

    Flat challenge, anyone?

    I haven't found any rocky bees yet, but since I fired up my lava centrifuging, I don't think I'll need them. It gives access to most metals although some need a lot of refining (e.g. Electrum -> Gold/Silver; Silver -> Lead) So far I have made Iron, Steel, Tungsten, Copper, Tin, Nickel, Bronze...

    How to handle/automate efficient breeder reactors?

    I believe Routers from Factorization could be a solution to your problem. They have a few upgrades that allow them to pull/put from/to specific slots of a machine and also use filters to only take specific items. They're not exactly cheap and not exactly intuitive, though. Maybe try a bit of...

    Flat challenge, anyone?

    Made a big tour through the nether today. Now I have a T5 Blaze spawner setup and should no longer lack energy for my recyclers. Also started a Whither Skelly shard for coal, but filling that one is gonna be a pain, especially since they're bugged atm and become normal skelly shards if you put...

    Flat challenge, anyone?

    It is indeed possible to customize the flatland maps by specifiying layers of different materials by block id. So it's entirely feasible to make a world that's 64 layers of diamond blocks for example. But the challenge is to see what you can do with a "classic" flatland map. Transmuting the...

    Flat challenge, anyone?

    Thx for the suggestion, TigersFangs. I think I'll build a sawmill very soon. I did manage to trade some glass from a villager (ran around many villages trying to find one that would give me that option, only to come back empty handed to my base and find a newly born one that opened it up after a...
