how about having the floor as 3 layers deep of quicksand, with transposers/obsidian pipes beneath
If you could con a Dev for one thing....

then you still have o use the annoying obsidian pipes or transposers so yeah im telling you cobble water thats the solution (if anyone nows a different one i would love to hear)
You have to set up about 20 of them to actually cover a decent area since they only pick up things that hit their block space.
Also, because of how they work, you have to put them in a grid pattern which can often times miss an item if it hits the bottom.
actually, if you put one say... 4 blocks beneath a solid platform beneath the quicksand, it will pick up in a 9x9 area
Obsidian pipes pick up a 9x9 area?
I made a tubestuff tree farm using an axe of the stream and a block breaker, and it shot out the items to the back. I had to place tons of obsidian pipes to get it to pick up the wood that was spewing out. If I put it right next to the block breaker, it would send the items right back into itself.
It might work with normal BC pipes if I just used those instead of obsidian pipes, actually. Since it's from a mod called tubestuff...
My desired addition would be a set of blocks where transparency and light pass-through are not linked. So you could have a "tinted glass" block which you can see through, but which doesn't affect the light level on the other side, and blocks which are opaque, but do transmit light levels (I'm aware that there are some bugs that do this already).
As to the steam issue (I know, I'm late to the party), I think that I'd probably make it so that you need to use the steam. The exact amount of the steam. If you use less, then the boiler goes overpressure and explodes, if you use more, then the pressure and temperature start to drop and you lose the efficiency. The main issue with them at the moment is that their balance mechanism is that they have a large capital cost, with a benefit to the energy revenue, but that doesn't balance things well, unless it's in extreme cases (look at what needed to be done to solars to make them somewhat more balanced).

amazing idea i did this ones before i think but i forgot this is the solution thank you good sir

yeah sorry for the langwich
Quicksand & wooden golums make a very good (& lag free) enderman grinder, simple & yet effective plus I am nasty & love the slow death, & one if not the cheapest form of grinder, 2 stacks of Qsand, 1 wooden golum, a t5, some wire & a on/off lever, & a water curtain or snow blocks to stop them porting away, by far the hardest part in finding a biome with the required Qsand.
