I'm loving that you named a building the Hovel of Shame xD

its an inside joke. All of my projects temporary work areas are called the hovel of shame until I build a real HQ. It is kind of like a sort of negative motivation. After all who wants to live in a hovel.

So , I have this area I can build in. I want to make a nice small, possibly 1 level area. But I've been thinking about my towers. Towers are terrible for wiring. I don't know how I would go about wiring machines on the above levels. The wires would either be visible on inside or the outside. Any ideas on how to do this? We really need a good way to teleport EU. Teleporting MJ is easy. But we need a way to do it for EU. Anyone know mods that add tesseracts for EU that are easy to install?

This is another area I want to build in, but I can't really get a good dome worked out.

You're kidding right? Those things are extremely endgame. Plus, the price is ridiculous for the function.

It would make more sense to convert EU to MJ to teleport it and then back into EU. Which is also extremely stupid.

Of course I was kidding. I made the post extra sarcastic for that purpose.

But, your choices are either that, or simply deal with the wiring. I don't know what else you could do.

Immibis microblocks is easily configured to let you put microblocks on IC2 cabling, if you're at all interested in that mod.

I've used Microblocks before but the only way I know to hide wires is to just incase them in covers. Which looks awful. Then you have one ugly block sticking out from the wall that is obviously there to hide wires.

I'm still trying to figure out how to wire machines that are on the 2nd,3rd, 4th floors of the tower. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Microblocks seems like the best way to go but i'm still not sure.

You already built your tower. But normally I put a 2 or 3 high 'maintenance' floor between floors to do just that.

I can not see any easy solution that either leaves wires exposed or requires some rebuilding.

Just to do what? I think just leaving a single wire exposed would work better then using micro blocks. Especially if it's glass fibre. It looks pretty good. Maybe I'll just leave the wires exposed in some places.

I might suggest using lava inside of buildcraft pipes and then having a (geo)thermal generator or two wherever you need power. have all your big draw items in the basement where you don't have to hide wires. you can hide the buildcraft pipes in the wall.

How would you hide the pipes in the wall?

Why would you need a floor for wiring? My problem is if I want to have machines higher up in the tower there will be wires going up. So they will be visible. Also can someone tell me the problem with my pigman farm. I just set it up and every way I try it it sucks. The items get stuck somehow and I can't the swords that drop to come out.

I make access walls 3 wide with a 1 block air gap or I make a few access shafts (normally where my stairs are) to link all the floors together. So my wiring goes under the machine into the access floor and then over to the access wall or shaft. Then goes up or down to where ever as needed.

I dont NEED these things. I just like hiding my wiring and piping.

about your farm where at they getting stuck?

The items are getting stuck literally right on top of the transposer. They're a little bit off to the side but they're still on the same block.

A guess is that the Transposers already have an item in them and aren't outputting it into the Tube system for some reason, probably because they have no place to go. I believe they then can't accept another kind of item.
