BuildCraft has the Gate Copier for the BC pipe gates, not sure if that's the same thing though. Something to check out, I suppose.
Most machines have nothing like "settings"; even the ones that do only have a boolean or some number. What machine did you have in mind?
Not sure how well it fits but here's an idea for another rotary craft engine (albeit over used perhaps). Geothermal.
The problem with geothermal power is that it will quickly suffer from the same issue hydrokinetics did before their lubricant requirements were introduced; lava is so cheap that people will opt to spam them rather than use anything else.
You could make it so that out has to be below a certain level (y=4 for example) and that it can't be within x number of blocks of another one to prevent "overheating". That would prevent spam but still slow for it to be a viable energy source.
Do your mods work on Linux computers? I have just upgraded to Linux from Windows Xp, and I need to know if my mods will work on Linux.
Java, the programming language minecraft is written in, is a "glue language" aka a cross-platform language. It will work on any operating system. The same is true for mods.
I'd request that there be a mechanism to convert Ethanol and Blaze Powder/Gunpowder (performance additives) to liquids to be piped around. I know there is some limited support for liquid Ethanol, but I haven't see anything for additives.
In another thread I also saw balance questions and items about unlocking technologies in a progression. A bit more direction as to tiers of power generation would be nice, and I'd love to see more mechanics like Tungsten be used for unlocking later techs.
For those who don't know, you can only get Tungsten from using the Extractor on Redstone ore, which isn't cheap to setup or power. Next you need at least 1 MW on a friction heater to smelt it, which using lower end engines is quite difficult. Then again I setup a microturbine and jet fuel to make Tungsten, then discovered I could have just used an industrial coil *facepalm*.

Another feature would be to have the ability to create yeast for fermentation without dirt. That was the only non-renewable I ran into during Ethanol production.
Perhaps your initial batch of yeast needs dirt, but after that sugar and a fermentation medium (potatoes? leaves?) would be enough to "breed" more yeast without dirt? That yeast would later be consumed in the making of Ethanol sludge.

True in principle, but it is more complex like that. There are native libraries and using some might end up in a mod that only works on certain OSes. Reikas don't fall into this category though. OpenComputers does for example, although it is written so it has a fallback with some features missing where there is no native version.
Generally, Windows is the most easily supported (being like 95% of computers tends to do that), then Linux, then Apple OSes (coming in last due to very closed and often highly proprietary architecture).
All current ones Minecraft runs on are afaik, not sure about BSD. It mainly hits older Windows versions. Check their thread on MCF, it's explicitly stated somewhere.
