1.7.2 options for automatic fuel?

[abobabo]

Seeing the AE2 mod spotlight got me interested in playing modded minecraft again, in 1.7.2. However, the amount of mods available is very limited; the only major mods are AE and Buildcraft. So I was wondering, are there any nice ways to automate fuel production in these mods? Especially something like automated wood farms etc.

I know it's in theory possible with quarries but it seems to be very obnoxious, and the same with vanilla automation.

IC2 Has also been updated to 1.7.2 along with it's addon compact windmills, you could try them out for renewable energy.

There's quite a few mods that have been updated for 1.7.2 actually, take a look at this list. Sadly the two that make tons of automation easier, forestry and mfr, aren't on that list yet .

Well, I don't care much for MFR (feels _too_ easy and magic blocky) and have played a little too much forestry and need some variation, but thanks for the link!

Also, does anyone know if there's a good way to get a cavernous world for 1.7.2? I realized I haven't played in a good cave world since like 1.2.5 so though that'd be fun. Looked at the Cave World mod, and that seemed to make caves as tiny as normal; I'm more looking for larger caverns.
