That doesn't address my question: How does it do this? All you are doing is putting in a CraftPacket Maker and replacing an automatic crafting table with a CraftPacket Stamper. Why not just skip the step and be done with it?

Which one? There hasn't been a video linked in three pages in this thread.
If you are referring to the previous season's DW20 video which used a Sortron, a couple of Managers, and a whole manual sub-combine system? Yes, yes I did. If you are referring to the one in the other thread, the guy used a bunch of GregTech Electric Crafting Tables which are simply made of fail.
The video I'm thinking of is a WayOfTime video but I can't find it and I think he has a different name on youtube.
... The video that eternal has been talking about, that way made.
We're talking about something that's been made, that exists.
... Hold on.
there, found it for you.

I, personally, like the glow the ores have. It breaks up the dull monotony of caves and such, and they can serve as useful navigation references if you somehow run out of torches.
Maybe I can better clear this up. A properly made craft-packet factory can sometimes be a godsend, and here is why. If it's all setup properly, I can go to my trusty CC computer and prompt it 'Cost Pulverizer'. Now, it will go out and check my inventory system and return either 'Have Mats On-hand' or 'Need X, Y, X'. Okay, lets say I need the 2 gold. Drop two gold in my 'To Inventory' chest. Now, where it gets complicated is wierd shaped recipes. My machine for my TE machines is called 'HouseBlock' since it's missing the top left and top right ticks. But, now I can walk up, type 'MakeMeA Pulverizer', and shortly a pulverizer will in the chest to my left.
Instantly? No, takes about 15-30 seconds. So, why is that useful? On a server, I typically like to plan things out ahead of time, so if I have a project that say I need 12 battery boxes, 100 frames, and 10 frame engines, four windmills, that's very, very annoying to do by hand. Now, I can just plop in the cost program, drop in the mats, and run the maker program. By next morning, all done. Insane amount of code to setup? Yeah. Doable with anything other than craft packing machines? Sadly, not really. Maybe turtles, but a ton of crafty turtles can be hard to manage when I can just keep a single program on a single CC comp to do it all.
Even if you did that, there are a few issues, i.e. the non-glowing block and the overlay overlapping, especially when seen from a further distance. The only solution I see at his point is to decrease the space the overlay takes, so there are clear borders. However, this would result in a kind of embossed-ish look.....
True, although I believe that's just an Optifine issue? So a 16x texture pack would be fine.
I get that problem you mention on my alumnium, since I adjusted the XY ore shape and hole to match exactly, just means I see a flickering ghost on the Alumnium. Still, only 1 ore then out of 6(7/) has this problem instead of them all, which is a big improvement.
I do not use Optifine, and you are right, it is almost always the aluminum, maybe because its glowlayer got not as much attention as the others. However, in rare occasions there is also flickering with the other ores.
I have been watching DW20's latest SMP play through and the creation of the shared workshop on the forgecraft server. I really like the blocks they are using for the glass and the engineering bricks used in the tank for the bio gas tank in the basement. Does anyone know when we will be seeing that version of xycraft added to the FTB packs?
About as soon as Soaryn, Chickenbones and the other devs are satisfied with it, you might have noticed some possibly laggtastic problems with parts of the next milestone.
I'd say, around 3-5 weeks, depending on their decision to add even more in the initial release or stabilizing the basics and building onto it later on.

For those of you following this thread, the prerelease of the basic machines is now available with XyCraft v0.10.14! http://xycraft.wikispaces.com/Downloads
I'm afraid I don't completely get the Fire Brick thingy, I placed one in creative, and it did nothing, I attached a lever and flicked it and it did nothing. I think that it's a block that you can set on fire and it will burn constantly, can someone confirm?
Thanks
