One tree farm from steve's carts.
Track is layouted like an E, 16x14 (track size).
Standard hull, coal engine (using the logs as fuel), wood cutter, chests. I can provide screenshots, if needed.

Sounds like a good alternative to the Forestry tree farm...could you post those screenshots?
My project for the day finally completed, upgraded my solar panels to advanced (25 of them). This was a particularly obnoxious project!
Here's an imgur album of the layout with annotations. Feel free to ask, if you still have questions.Sounds like a good alternative to the Forestry tree farm...could you post those screenshots?

The one pulling from the cargo manager? Don't remember. Can be set very slow (20 seconds or more), because the cart takes a while to finish a round with all those trees begging for attention.
Important part:
Stock up heavily on solid fuels, because during startup the fuel cost will be horrible. The boiler will take ~6 hours to get to 1000°C, where the numbers mentioned above are working. Fill several diamond chests with planks and feel the delicous horror, when you see the boiler eating them up as if there would be no tomorrow. (1 plank in less than 3 ticks). Drop some stacks of charcoal first into the chests, so that you have time to get some solid fuel in. If you start with the planks, they will be eaten faster than you can refill those chests.

I copied your geothermal generator design, except mine is powered with lava pumped out of the nether.
I like compact, simple designs
And woot my uu-matter production REALLY ramped up!!
That's just an autarchic gate set to (IF no redstone THEN pulse energy). You could just use a redstone engine instead.
Since I build it in cheat mode, I used the gate for less moving parts
Also some other things I've read somewhere else:
Use isolated redstone wire to reduce graphical lag (less bugs with a lighting upgrade) and put any light emitting block below timers (e.g. jack'o'lanterns) for the same reason.

Well here's my quaint little WIP tower. All of this was done 100% legitimately and I have far too much time on my hands but for once I'm putting effort into aesthetics first then worrying about the rest.
I never thought I would need to actively search for Xychorium but its become my main sticking point right now. I plan on replacing the middle column of basalt brick with either red or black stained glass on both sides and adding some red Xychorium bricks throughout the black in some sort of pattern. Also a staircase lower down once I flesh out the internal layout. I have no clue how to make a half decent looking roof/top piece though.

you dont need to search xychorite. you can generate it. craft xy-bricks (the one made via 4 ingots and 5 stone bricks) and craft them back into ingots. that will give you 4 ingots per block whereas 4 ingots make four blocks.
you will just have to farm stone bricks as you do not get them back.
and for the roof make some kind of overhanging pointy roof (check out jamziboy on youtube for example, he does this on his towers sometimes) and use basalt or sth since you can cut them down with a handsaw thus avoiding the problem of not having basalt or xy-stairblocks
