Agrarian Skys help, venting, and discussion thread

This is a venting thread, right? Well, I started a new AS world (CL isn't my style and ME3 even less so) and the first four reward bags I got were a fireworks display, two (!) sets of Forestry stained glass and a set of colored bricks. Boo. At least I could temporarily use some bricks to make a safe cobble generator without having to sift more dirt, but this was less than impressive.
I wonder if there will be a new iteration of this pack. Maybe even an 1.7 version. I really like it, but a few mods could use an update.

well you just have to be careful with what you send for it to package.
it's quite useful to autocraft ore gravels/sands/dusts to reduce load on smeltery. you could also autocraft storage blocks and other things like that with minimum space required.
pro tip. never supply chest for packager via directly connected vacuum hopper, because vacuum hopper tends to not always put stackable items into the same slot, which may cause packager to jam, because it can't find enough items in one slot for 2x2 or 3x3 recipe.
Can you expand on that - I've suffered from that problem - how did you solve it?
i used itemduct to connect vacuum hopper and chest. a vanilla hopper should also work fine, or any other item transport without said issue.
The autopackager is a central element in my resource production, since it can craft all those ore pieces into blocks. I pull out the limestone before it can be packed.[DOUBLEPOST=1413454280,1413298884][/DOUBLEPOST]Does anyone have a list of all items that can be composted into dirt? I don't want to waste anything and the dirt quest was one of the more annoying ones to finish since I had to mine it by hand from what my Ender Quarry left behind. Even with a Bound Shovel, 600k dirt takes a while.
So far I have set up dirt production with:
*Saplings and leaves from the tree types I need anyway.
*Rotten flesh
*String
*Blood Saplings (can't use the leaves since I won't get Redstone then)

Here ya go-
Tree Saplings, Leaves, Rotten Flesh, Spider Eyes, Wheat, Bread, Dandelions, Roses, Brown Mushrooms, Red Mushrooms, Apples, Carrots, Potatoes, Baked Potatoes, Poison Potatoes, Pumpkins, Jack-o-lanterns, Pumpkin Pie, Melons, Melon Slices, Cactus, Lily pads, Vines, Sugar Cane, Tall Grass, Nether Wart, Pork (raw and cooked), Beef (raw and cooked), Chicken (raw and cooked), Eggs, Fish (raw and cooked), silkworms (raw and cooked), String
Personally once you get a good mob farm set up (cursed soil *cough) rotten flesh can really do a lot for you. But also any large automated farm. Potatoes are my go to for that.

If I remember correctly you need to sieve sand to get limestone then sieve the limestone to get rutile. The rutile then can be turned into impure titanium.
Which is how it is suppose to work. Not necessarily the way that you are able to get it to work though. Because sieving won't work on limestone, IIRC. Not even pounding it or melting it.
Do the laser, that at least does work. Really well.Wow,that's rather more than I expected. Thanks. I guess I'll set up 48 oak barrels now... potatoes and carrots have the highest yield, and my Fertilized wheat farm produces so much more than I can store that I've already configured my waste disposal bus to accept surplus wheat.
As for the rotten flesh. I have a sizeable mob farm but the yield is not enough for more than two oak barrels. And regarding the Cursed Earth spawner, I'm not ready to fight the Wither yet, the upgraded bound armor I need for that is still a few sessions away.
Trade with a pech, they spawn in magical biomes (unless they've been changed since I played last).
There was, somewhere in this thread, a cheat sheet of sorts with what biomes would attract which bees to scented hives, but my search fu is weak and I can't find it. Rather than slogging through 203 pages, anyone know what bees (if any) I might be able to attract in a Magical Forest and what flowers would need to be near the hive?
Niter (Nitor is the Thaumcraft stuff) can be used to make cryotheum dust and gelid cryotheum, which you may want to use if you're building a reactor. You'll also need it for a quest. The easiest way to get sulfur is as a 50% byproduct of pulverizing blaze rods, and you'll use it to make pyrotheum dust, which you will need for a quest, and to make fluxed electrum ingots and enderium, which in turn are used extensively by Blood Magic.
I don't know what your problem is. The TE version in Agrarian Skies can make liquefacted coal from pulverized coal, and IIRC, there's some engine that can use it to generate power. Pulverizing Netherrack doesn't give you dust but Nether Brick. Granted, there aren't many uses for those but you can always use them to make singularities - eventually you might want to extend your ME network into the Nether. Also, if you use blaze rods as a source, you'll have a 50% chance of getting sulfur, which is about three times faster than with any other source, and while you can't avoid creating "waste" anyway, you can optimize your production to create less of it. Unless a different process can get me stuff I desperately need more of (such as dirt, always dirt), I don't usually care about that since you'll have a lot of things you're going to throw away anyway.
As was mentioned, one of the dynamos runs fairly cheaply off of liquified coal and water. Don't know about the nether stuff though.
Yeah, that's one easy to overlook. In normal games, Blaze Powder is so rare that using it for fuel is the last thing you think of.
Meanwhile, does anyone have a good use for arrows?
