Having trouble with power converters. I have an EU power supply running into an IC2 MV consumer connected to an energy bridge, then a BC producer on the other side which i'm using to power a pulverizer. This works, but what I want to do is run a couple of conductive pipes off the BC producer to power another two pulverizers, but this doesn't seem to work.

How am I meant to connect a BC producer to more than one machine at once?

Are you making sure to use Wooden Conductive Pipes to draw power from the BC Producer?

I was, to no avail. But i just moved it to a different face of the producer and it seems to be drawing power now. Crisis over, cheers

I highly recommend the ExtraUtils Colored Brick (black) or the DartCraft Force Brick (black), they are much cheaper for the same general look. I assume you are using Unleashed if you're mentioning TConstruct.

With the smeltery it just takes some lava and cobblestone, and then using a chisel on the crafting grid until I hit brick. I'm a little constrained because the texture pack I'm using is currently incomplete.

Does anyone know what the IC2 Obscurator does? I can't find anything on the IC2 wiki or the FTB wikis.

I prefer the look of MFR's Blackstone, personally.

Railcraft Abyssal Stone is preety good, too.

I like the look of it, but I have yet to find it in the world.

Get a really basic SC2 mining system, set it near the ocean (towards the ocean) and when it finds a geode, quarry that until there is no more.

Yea, they occur in spheres at the bottom of the ocean, sometimes with air pockets inside.

This probably has been asked before, but why does the usual enchanting room set up only get to level 13 at the most? I am obviously missing something.

Are you putting torches in between the bookshelf and the enchanting table? Those block the shelves off.

Yes, yes I am. Thanks for the tip.

How does the ExtraUtils(?) Green Screen block work? From what I can tell, it's bright green, unshaded, and is only available in creative. Is it unimplemented or am I missing something?

It's just a block handy for making a green screen when recording Minecraft. You'll need a separate program to actually put something onto the screen when streaming or putting the video onto youtube. The block itself is just a big flat green surface, just like IRL green screens.

I'm a bit late to the party, but there's a really fun way to mine things like that once you find them.

Set a wand of equal trade to replace blocks with roses.

This produces a beautifully silly virus-like wave of flowers that eat through the geode, mining huge sections of it at once. Pick up the flowers, most of which will fall free, and zap it again. If you don't have flowers it also works fairly well with rails and saplings. Just, never use this around lava or to demolish the creations of others.

ExtraTrees begs to differ.

As far as I can tell, there's no way to turn the coffee berries from the tree into actual coffee. Only use appears to be for making seed oil.

Ahhhhhh thats a completely different coffee than I was talking about I thought you were confusing coffee with cocoa.

Are Thaumcraft golems more effective than MFR Planters/Harvesters for farming crops (not counting Fertilizer)?

What's an ideal power source for running an MFR Laser Drill?

They don't require fuel or power, so they're more effective if you're very miserly with power.

They don't require fuel or power, so they're more effective if you're very miserly with power.

Very rarely, Thaumcraft golems will be hit by lightning or fall out of the world. They can also jump off cliffs while chasing items and then can't get back up.

Losing a key worker can be a nasty surprise if you were making biofuel for a boiler. I would still recommend golems for small farms, but MFR is the current king of huge zero-maintenance industrial farms.

Can someone help me find the numbers behind fermenters and stills? More specifically, how many buckets an hour a single still will produce?
