Potion making

[namiasdf]

So how do you make your potions in FTB (1.4.7). How can you automate them. What kind of things do you need/should prepare for?

I am planning to expand my base. One section will be my potion making section, such that I can start adventuring in TF, etc.

I guess what I'm trying to ask is, how can you automate potion making with AE, or the such? What volume of certain scarce items am I going to need (Ghast tears, etc.)?

Things like that. Tips are pointers would be great as well. Even if they're vanilla related, I haven't played with potions in vanilla either, so I'm somewhat of a virgin.

The best auto potion systems are based on vanilla hoppers. I'd search for those and you could maybe use red power instead of hoppers or upgrade to 1.5 or higher

I think this covers it decently, if only for proof of concept and basic set ups.

I do know that Minefactory Reloaded adds the Auto-Brewer. You can make potions with up to three ingredients in the machine. It requires setup first, for you to decide what potion it would make, but then you're done. Feed it power and ingredients and it will churn out all the potions you could want.

You could try Xeno's Reliquary potions, those can be made in a crafting bench so you could automate them with AE.
