What I did with my scorched bricks is I grabbed a stack of clay balls from my sludge boiler barrels and smelted them. Then I stuck a hopper on my smeltery's controller and another on the casting table. Add a fluiduct on the drain with a lever on top, then put the bricks in the casting table's hopper. Add a stack of cobble to the controller's hopper. Finally, pull items out of the casting table with a hopper or itemduct. Then wait. Repeat until satisfied.

I did it a little different I used an AA to place the brick in the casting table, works more or less same as your way, it meant I did not need to change the setup I was using, just removed the ingot cast & placed an AA with slot 1 full of bricks.
Was this changed in a version past 2.1.3? I haven't updated yet, and was able to MFR spawn several Wither skellys the other night. Before long I had the 3 heads I needed to get a Wither (for a star for a warding focus), and a few more to start some beacons for my blood alter. BTW, was I just lucky to get 2 more Divination Sigils from the Wither? That makes 3 now...and I've never used one up in other maps :-/
Really considering updating soon though, or just manually pull in the update to help Thaumcraft. I ran into the "can't combine to X aspect I need for a research for the thaumustatic harness, as the aspects also combine to this other aspect.
Were you like me, disappointed in the early reward bag with all the music disc's and a radio locked to noise? Be disappointed no more and show the RNG that this was not a troll reward. Build the automated jukebox and make the days spent in front of the ME crafting terminal seem like hours!
Actually, I built this during my first FTB adventures and decided to rebuild it here in Agrarian Skies. It functions on the "stuffed item" mechanics of the TE3 itemducts and uses the rednet controller to cycle the discs and activate the MFR auto-jukebox. The longer, bent around itemduct is required to ensure all the discs cycle out of the chest and become "stuffed". Because the discs don't all have the same playtime there are variations to the periods of silence, but for the most part, music is always playing. I would love it if one of the smarter than me minecrafters could improve this because I have grown to like it.

Quick question: Is there a "Take 1/Deposit 1" keyboard shortcut in AE? It's bothersome when using a wireless access terminal when I need just one of something I have a bunch of. I end up taking out a half stack, dropping one of that item into my inventory, then putting the 31 remaining back into AE. Wireless Access Terminal's energy usage scales according to stack size (and distance?), so the battery drains pretty quickly.
XP and Mob Essence are different fluids. I had a vacuum hopper feeding a tank for sucking up stray XP orbs when I'd scythe my mob drop area, and a grinder for mob essence for the quest, and obviously MFR spawning. If you instead put a sewer under the mob drop (potentially with a liquid router), you could collect the XP orbs in there and output mob essence that way.
Using the scythe has amassed me 10+ stacks of heads, which it sounds like is PLENTY for infusion alter stability. Plus lots of enchanted gear to strip off to books, for building up level 3, 4, 5 protections. Combine that with the printing press, and actually put the collected XP to some use.

If you're clever, you can craft a villager spawn egg, then auto-spawn villagers until you get some music villagers. They'll trade for different tuning crystals for your radio. If you do a little research, you can also add your own tuning crystals to acquire.
I like this design, though! Pretty simple and functional.
Actually, doing that with Liquid XP uses only the XP necessary to gain a level. As you get higher levels, it costs the same amount as if you were killing mobs. So there is no waste with liquid XP. Mob essence requires a straw and a placed liquid block for the same mechanic, but it gives you a fixed amount of XP per drink, so it gets terribly tedious.
If you want to convert liquid XP to mob essence, use an XP bottler to get bottles of enchanting, then an AA to smash them over a sewer. It's a bit lossy, but it works. I still haven't figured out a way to convert mob essence to liquid XP, though.
I saw this, and it didn't make sense.
Pre-change I made an alumite pick, with which I mined cobalt, to then make a manyllium pick. Now, you need a manyllium pick, to not just mine the cobalt/alumite, but ALL nether ores? Which means you should just not bother with the nether until you can make the ender quarry to auto-mine them (Iridium ore as quest reward), or have the power production to run a laser to "mine" cobalt and ardite that way. Or a lot of patience, with lower power input to a laser. Thankfully I've already got manyllium.It mostly sucks for anyone who started after the nerf, or didn't read changelogs first and got caught unprepared...but maybe strategically not-upgrading isn't playing "fair"? Meh.
... wait. I made an alumite pick and gave it silk touch specifically for this, and now I'm being told I have to upgrade past that? I'm annoyed. I thought level 6 was alumite, not manyllyn.I saw this, and it didn't make sense.

Is there an end to the McAurey's quest? Just finished meals, now a page for vegans. *sigh*[DOUBLEPOST=1401323043][/DOUBLEPOST]
Thanks, I have it wrapped in jukebox covers and oak covers to make it "stereo-ish" lol.

Like was said in a post earlier. Probably from quest rewards. Unless someone shows me in a video of a laser drill(s) producing an iridium ore, I will not believe that it came from it. You can get up to 2 from rewards as the reward that gives an iridium ore can happen 2 times before the reward system stops giving that particular reward. If I cannot produce a single iridium ore from 720 fully powered laser drills running for 24 hours real time than no one is going to get the 4 needed for the quest in any normal play environment without going to the nether and generating new chunks in a version that had nether ores somewhat fixed. Gotta love all the useless ores that are generated in the default config now.

Yes, you'll need a level 6 pick for all ores. The Nether is meant to be a late game, OPTIONAL endeavor, not a place to sneak through with a quest reward flight potion and cherry pick the ores you need.
That said, the Nether is trivial with flight potions, some good armor, and a good TiC weapon. I can one- or two-hit just about every Nether mob with my trusty "Pan, the Man" pan.
Don't quote me on that
BUT, I started with an steel pick, then remembered you need alumite for Cobalt.Just copied my save into the 2.1.6 download I've been ignoring, and tested for you, myself, any anyone else who cares.
Alumite pickaxe head, nether ore mining results:
Yes:
Netherrack
Ardite
Lapis
Lead
Gold
Coal
Ferrous
Redstone
Tin
Quartz (dropped quartz crystals)
No:
Salt
Rutile
Cobalt
Sulfur
Vanilla quartz dropped the items, everything else dropped the ore block. Silk touch is still useful, as you'll get more and consistent output by pulverizing the quartz, rather than the varying drops from a pick.
Further tests on the above "No" ores:
Thaumium: no
Obsidian: no (YES Ardite)
Cobalt: yes
Bound Pickaxe: yes
Pickaxe of the Core: yes
Manyullyn: yes
Ardite: ONLY mines cobalt ore
Flux-Infused: no salt/rutile/sulfur (YES cobalt, ardite)
So, seems we need to make an obsidian OR alumite pickaxe head, then use that to mine Ardite to make an Ardite head. Use that to mine Cobalt, then make a Manyullyn pickaxe head. THEN we can mine sulfur ore for reactors and pyrotheum blend, plus I guess titanium ore and nether salt. Isn't salt free though?
Edit: forgot the Flux-Infused pick!

You your potions, I like my jetpacks. To each their own!
Also, I just posted v2.1.6 test results...it's certainly not ALL ores, and not two levels either. It's really only 4, two useful ones, and they're not at the same level either. Sulfur (and salt, and rutile) needs manyullum, which needs cobalt, which needs ardite/Flux-Infused, which needs alumite/obsidian/Flux-Infused. Horray staging!
edit: forgot Flux-Infused pick!

Not sure what you are trying to do? there isnt a quest for Mariculture fish tanks so I dont know why you have made them - there is a quest for fluid tanks, one of which is a mariculture recipe - if you read the quest book it tells you what to do.
Just because there's the quest book doesn't mean you have to follow it to the T for your world.
