4765. @triggerfinger12 Yeah, I'll just have to give it a go. I've discovered also that you can go 1 iron + 1 coal = 1 steel with Mekanism in Regrowth, but it's via a really awkward ratio.

1 coal in a metallurgic infuser becomes 1 compressed carbon, worth 80

Then:

• Iron Ingot -{crusher}-> Iron Dust
• Iron Dust + 40 carbon -{metallurgic infuser (MI)}-> Wrought Iron
• Wrought Iron + 30 carbon -{MI}-> Enriched Iron
• Enriched Iron + 10 carbon -{MI}-> Steel Dust
• Steel Dust -{furnace}-> Steel Ingot

So the carbon is in a 40:30:10 ratio in the steps.

Compared to the normal one, which is Iron + Sand with Charcoal in a Bloomery Furnace to make Wrought Iron, then Wrought Iron in a Blast Furnace makes steel, it's a lot more complicated, and more steps, but COULD be faster with machine upgrades.

What I don't know is how AE2 interfaces work (not really used it before) so I could do to find that out to see how I could go about autocrafting.

4757 I think it works like RS crafters, except they have an inventory. They push items, and the items have to be piped back in somehow, either back into the interface or with an import bus.

Ah ok! I can work with that, I think!

Hmm I reckon I could do something with Buildcraft assembly tables in that case - 1 interface per table, one table per chipset, all in the same chamber, surrounding a single chest with an import bus on it. That'll work!

Now, thermionic fabricators... i need to work out how they're sided, and I think I can use AE2 to get some automation in all my machines. Cheers!

4778. Still too many ideas and not enough concrete plans.

I'm struggling to come up with a consistent plan for my base, I think that's the problem. I've got ideas for my farms & tech, and I've got ideas for how I'd lay out my Witchery, Thaumcraft, Botania and Blood Magic, but I can't seem to think of a way to marry the two into a coherent whole.
