  1. After watching the video I can tell you I don’t have any of the issues that you have described/shown and the reason is because I don’t have open pipes in my system.

    As I’m sure you’ve worked out the items will go to the closest open inventory in the system (unless it is blocked by a colour) and an open pipe is classed as valid route even for colour tagged items.

    What you should do is (especially for cobble, dirt and other numerous items) is have a second inventory further away on the pipe network from the main chest. You could put a recycler or a lava pit which is coloured yellow (so only yellow tagged items will use it) and make it a physically longer journey than your yellow tagged chest. That way the recycler or lava pit will only be used if the chest is full.

    So basically what I’m saying is remove all the open pipes from your network and give them a correct place to go.

  2. A peat farm is the way to go for forestry machines; they are designed to be powered full time with low power.

    If you create a peat farm you can then use peat engines to power all your forestry stuff, the fuel lasts ages, and when peat is harvested it creates dirt.

    As an added bonus the peat engines produce ash which can be used to create fertilizer.

  3. Well I now understand why some people hate technic because this isn't very fair buisness people, I'm making a modpack as well and asking permission from each and every author and screenshotting it, that's how technic should go about doing it to-nice and honest, using persuasive language to try and convince people of their quality and intentions. If you guys want to get proper respect, the launcher is great and everything but without permissions a lot of people won't like you. God .... not nice to have my golden image of technic get crushed like that :'( ...

    Or we're all mis-interpreting this and kakermix meant that they are angry that he doesn't use ad-fly as they do, so they are 'stealing money away from them'. Please say it's this <--

    While I too would love that to be the case unfortunately it’s not reality.

    I personally feel that mod makers are much more open to mod packs now that Technic is out and the interest and money that it generates for the mod makers is known.

    Problem is of course that Kakermix, in doing the Technic pack, pissed off a lot of the mod makers and some just won’t forgive and forget regardless of how much money/fame they get from it.

    I myself have donated ~$70 to various mod makers and I make a point to tell them it’s because of Technic.

    I addition, I donated $30 to Industrial Craft. To make that $30 thru Adfly would’ve taken ~75,000 clicks. Winging about loss of Adfly money is stupid!

  4. That's huamnity for you... allways assuming the worst of everyone :'( . Just wondering though why do you guys think the technic has this general bad image to modders despite being really good and honest in reality? What happened to cause such a thought to occur?

    When Kakermix made the first Technic pack he wrote an abusive letter to the Minecraft modding community. Most of what he said was correct but it was a bit harsh.

    This may have something to do with the hate levelled at Technic.

    I was on the Industrial craft forums when the Technic pack first came out and there was a serious amount of anger over the pack.

    It pretty much disappeared though when the donations started rolling in, at least for Industrial craft anyway.

  5. I use redpower deployer, filter and retreiver with an infinite water source to feed buckets of water to my water mills or lately i'm using a the peat farm with peat engines.

    The peat farm option is very cheap to simple to setup.

  6. Doesn't this require you to remove an extra reactor chamber? You can do the same thing with an advanced extraction pipe if you want to to do it that way.

    Yes it does but you can run the reactor without any cooling cells or heat dispersers so you more than make up for the loss of one chamber.

  7. Yes you definitely can for ice, the problem with buckets is the empty bucket is left behind so its not as useful. Its also possible to create ice blocks so you can infinitely supply your reactor.

    Using a RP2 retreiver you can pull only the empty buckets out of the reactor.

    Couple this with a deployer and filter (and a crap load of buckets) you can cool your reactor with the need for ice.

  8. Yeah, but once you got the first collector, you should also have a lot of other materials, so you could start making machines and such while it collects for you. And then you upgrade it to collect even more and ultimately you'll have a diamond every second...

    Yeah, but the first collector is only 9 diamonds and once you have that, you'll just keep accumulating EMC. And if you use the divining rod to find diamonds, you'll have 9 in no time :)

    Yes it only takes 9 diamonds to make a collector but the collectors can only create fuel and at only 4 EMC/s.

    To turn that into diamonds, or any matter, you need to make a Energy Condenser which costs 5 more diamonds.

    You will need to seed the Energy Condenser with another diamond (bringing the total to 15) and it will start making diamonds at a rate of 1 every 34 minutes.
