I know if a GT multiblock Output Bus is full, you lose whatever items the machine can't put in there, it simply deletes them.
Does the same thing apply to Output Hatches, tho? I am noticing the Output Hatch on my Oil Cracker is always full, because the Input feed is coming from a Distilling Tower that is processing Heavy Oil which results in a lot of Heavy Fuel which I pipe directly into my Oil Cracker. The Cracker is outputting Cracked Heavy Fuel faster than my second Distilling Tower can process it. So am I losing fluids? And thus do I need to regulate my flow somehow because of this? Or will the Oil Cracker only turn on and work when there is sufficient room in the Output Hatch?

I'm a bit confused. When I go into NEI, there is no "Diesel Engine", and nothing I can find even remotely similarly named. What I do find, however, is one of the Enchiridion books with the exact title "Large Diesel Engine". Clicking thru the recipes, however, reveals nothing. There's no Assembling Machine recipe for such a book. So... where is this mysterious thing so I can have a look?
Perhaps it's been locked from view somehow, because I haven't cracked open my Thaumonomicon yet?

the optimal flow for energy generation is just to shown the maximum it will consume, if you place more it will not be voided , i have a 2x steel large boiler, so it produces 2x 20000 of steam, 40000 total, attached to it i have a double large steam turbine with rotors that have an optimal of 16000, both turbines run at full speed and i have a surplus that goes in a Hv steam turbine at the top.
i can understand why people dont like GT fluid pipe, but it is more powerful than other ways until you can make ender fluid conduit, is just a question of getting used to it, so your brain can start to develop theories on how to use it better.
large diesel engine = diesel engine , because the small ones are called generator.
yes excess on output is voided, that is why i made a distillation tower for each fuel.

But I do not see any Diesel Engine in my NEI. Was it added recently? Because the server I'm on is still running the version just before pollution was added to the modpack.
And that is discouraging about the Cracker being faster than the Distillation Tower. But instead of another Tower, I think I'll just buffer the Cracker output into a tank (great, just what I need like a hole in my head, yet another RC tank LOL) and pull the Cracked Heavy Fuel from that tank instead of pulling it directly out of the Cracker. So much for my "compact is good" ideas! haha I'm gonna have to separate the processes and work them independent of each other.

Haha no, I have already went ahead and prospected all 3x3 chunks in great radius about my base. I have plenty of places to get iron I just haven't mined or processed any. My base is actually on a magnetite vein so that is why I just fell back to using it.
I'm looking for ideas about how to use up all these saplings from my tree farm. I don't see much in NEI. I'm already making BioGas in large quantity from wheat, so I sure don't need to use the saplings for more of the same stuff. Perhaps the Recycler will be the best use, start making some scrap for later on when I get to UUmatter?
I believe that it is not your server (aka you are not an admin) because I would be shouting at you how dare you report something not existing, when using old... REALLY OLD... pack version
Yes it has been added "recently" same as other stuff, like new questline, a LOTS of bug fixes and cookies.

Quick question, what should I do with my almost broken small turbines? I heard that if I let them run dead in my machine that they will blow up? Is that true? Also, I see no way to recycle them. Do I just toss them in the trash once they are low on durability?
Edit: I also just made a sifter for the first time. What things should I sift? I was thinking Ruby to try and get more Chrome but I'm having a hard time telling what is efficient.

Repair. Put them into dissassembler to get some parts back and then recraft them

Anything that can be sifted should be. The sifter amounts to 30% bonus materials for everything that can go into it, including things like Ruby, Diamond, Coal, Lapis, Lazurite, etc. The only exception might be Monazite, since you can get more Rare Earth by putting it through a Universal Macerator and Centrifuge instead.

I found out both the Cracker and the Distillation tower can have more than one input hatch! I have three distillation towers and two crackers. Since I need to crack and distill more Light Fuel than Heavy Fuel, I have one tower and cracker that just work on Light Fuel, and the second tower and cracker have two input hatches so they work on both Light Fuel and Heavy Fuel. The second cracker will alternate between having Cracked Light and Cracked Heavy in its output hatch, but Logistics Pipes takes care of sorting it out. Without LP, you'd need something like an Ender Fluid Conduit to sort the fluids.
When the turbines we put in the large turbine multiblock run out during use is there an explosion?

It looks like they are intended to blow up, but they don't actually do so.
Good to know, I've had a couple of members on the server asking me if they did or not and I had no idea. I'm not going to take my chances. Hopefully they dont either lol

As Jason said above, put them through the disassembler and recraft new ones when they get low. That way you get some of your materials back.
