I need help understand how to get this working. right now it has power from a stirling engine, sitting at 4800 / 4800 MJ but will not work. I see some redstone and configuration stuff on the right side? How the hell do I get this thing work?
Try a different type of copper from another mod, it might not recognize that type.
No, the Ore Dictionaries pretty much make sure that isn't a problem.
Unfortunately it is a problem in a number of cases. Try macerating lead for example. The ore dictionary has helped a lot, but it's still far from a perfect world
