Is there any configuration on which ores that should and should not get auto-smelted with Tinkers?
I think it's "anything with a furnace recipe". That's what caused an exploit where there was a mod item that could be turned back into ingots in a furnace, and TiCo multipled the ingots leading to a dupe. However it doesn't turn quartz dust into silicon, but I think those are non-standard drops and so don't get handled by TiCo. Or there's a specific exception for them.

Does anyone know a good alternative to PowerConverters (for 1.6.4) that works with EU, MJ and TF?

I do not believe there is such a thing... although there may be modules for it in Engineer's Toolbox, if memory serves.

Universal Electricity exists, basically you can just use them UE cables in replacement for conduits/conductives/IC2 wires and it should work perfectly fine.

Alright but thats not really an answer...

Question is, is there any CONFIG for it?

I dont want coal to become something except coal

Apparently, totte, the answer is "We're not sure" - why don't you check the configs yourself?

Because I am not a configmonkey, I have no clue how they work except when guided

After all, this is a question& answer thread so stop being so clever
My apologies, I shall refrain from further cleverness on your behalf.

I've had a look and I can't find one. There's a setting "Enable Auto-Smelt and Fortune interaction", but that's the only auto-smelt related config that I can find. I think a blacklist would be an excellent idea, I assume you're getting Carbon from OpenPeripheral? I can see how that would be really annoying. Sorry, I think you'll just have to use a non-auto-smelt pick or hammer to mine coal. I can't find Carbon in the OpenPeripheral config either so I can't see a way of disabling the item or the smelting recipe. Do you need OpenPeripheral? Could you disable the mod if it's an SSP world?

I tried the red input on the itemducts and it isn't taking the items out of the chest even thought i have the other inputs right. I don't think i am getting the right input i have a Dark red one trying to pull the items out i think you need to set it as light red but i can't configure the itemduct to the input because i cant get it

to make it light red, add a redstone signal and it will pull items out of an inventory.

you could also install a pneumatic servo and play with the redstone activation to make it stay on without a redstone signal or how ever you please.

what do the "amazing technicolor glasses" do exactly?
I'd have to double check later, but if they're what I think, they're special glasses from Open Blocks. You will also note there are 16 colored glasses and 16 colored crayons from Open Blocks. While using a specific colored glasses and the same color crayon, you can "draw" blocks that you can only see/interact with when wearing the glasses of the same color as the crayon.

I believe the Amazing Techincolor Glasses allow you to see all colors of crayon blocks at once.

For TE3, Shiny Dust is actually pretty important if you want to craft the end tier stuffs frmo the mod since it is vital in the creation for Enderium.
yes shiny dust/ingots have a use but I was specifically referencing platinum ingots, I dont think there is any need to convert the ingots to platinum
