  1. Very true, but its not a difficult task to add in a few source blocks. And Im pretty sure the saplings collected would still be plain vanilla saplings anyway. Its a lot to expect the maker of mfr to code the machines to behave differently between dimensions/planets etc, so adding water source blocks just so you could plant the first lot of saplings seems somewhat pointless?

    There are a lot of ways the GC creator could fix the exploit without touching MFR. Make it so all trees/leaves drop space saplings instead of regular saplings if they're in an uninhabitable dimension, or maybe just somehow change sapling growth rules directly based on the dimension. I dunno, all I'm saying is it could predictably behave differently in the future so don't get attached to your old tricks.

  2. sandstone pipes are made not to connect to anything except other pipes. they're specifically so that you can route pipes around chests and hoppers without going into them.

    also, if you have a T-intersection in the pipe, the item will go down the other fork instead of popping out of the pipe, so you can make a loop in the pipe that the item goes down if the inventory it's trying to go into is full.

    edit: also if you can take a screenshot of your setup it'll be much easier to help, ascii art is kinda difficult to read.

  3. I knew that, but sometimes you don't want to break'n'place if charging it like a Lapotron crystal is easier.

    Oh, also, you can shift-click any TE machine (including ducts/conduits/cells) with a Crescent Hammer or Omniwrench to pick it up instantly.

  4. The way you charge redstone cells is in an Energetic Infuser. You put it in there and it charges it.

    You don't even need the Infuser unless you've got a powersuit or some other chargeable non-block. Energy cells can be stuck right on the conduit and recieve a charge.

    1. Steam and Magmatic Engines don't explode and will help you a lot!

    2. Redstone Energy Conduits are better than IC2 power cables

    3. Like I said, you can stick RECs right on the conduit or conductive pipe of your choosing and input/output power.

    In order to get energy cells and conduits in survival you're gonna need a magma crucible to melt redstone, a liquid transposer to put the redstone in the empty conduits/cell frames and probably an igneous extruder to get the obsidian required for the frames. (How bout those TE machine names, huh?) Just figured I'd help you get started on your way up the TE tech tree.

  5. I know what you mean about avoiding EE3, for me EE mechanics kind of serve to turn "go on a bunch of different quests for different things" into "go on one long grind for one thing and you're set"

    Before I learned about igneous extruders I'd just park my mining turtle over my favorite lava ravine, pop a water source down and tell it to excavate. I got stacks and stacks of obsidian this way, I guess ravines can generate like 5 or 6 layers of lava at the bottom.

  6. Each piece of conduit has 200 milibuckets of redstone in it, which translates to two pieces of redstone dust. That makes it twice as expensive as conductive pipes, right? But I tend to run out of electrum before I run out of redstone.

    I'd really like to see more conveyor belts. I seriously just have no idea how useful they are because they're so underrepresented compared to BC pipes.

    By the way, I love how you took getting Applied Energistics' name wrong a step further.

  7. Alright, I hoped it wouldn't come to this, but I honestly have no idea what I'm doing wrong here. I'm running a small Tekkit server but some friends of mine want to carry over their precious staples from FTB MagicWorld. I hope it won't be too much trouble to fix this...

    Name of pack: Cubey Starts a Forest Fire

    Minecraft Version: 1.5.2

    Mods you want:

    The whole of Tekkit Main, plus

    ExtraBiomes XL - http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1090288-152-extrabiomesxl-3131/

    ThaumCraft 3 - http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1585216-thaumcraft-305-updated-1252013/

    Twilight Forest - http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/561673-152-the-twilight-forest-v1180-naga-updates-more/

    Have you tried to make the pack on your own?

    Yes. I keep getting "fatal error: this version of CodeChickenCore is not for Minecraft 1.5.2" and kept getting that even after I downloaded the most recent version off of the page - http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/909223-147152-smp-chickenbones-mods/

    Did you look at my guide to try?

    Yes.

    The location of your pack if you did try:

  8. This happened to me too, it's a real bug, you guys. It happened with my fresh install of the new Tekkit. I dunno why it happens, but the computers just don't turn on. I'm not sure what "sufficient effort" to try to solve it would be, but after doing some deep googling I somehow fixed it by going into my mods folder and taking the version number off the ComputerCraft zip, renaming it to just ComputerCraft.zip.

  9. Yeah, always thought TE suited Minecraft better than IC2. It's more "tangible", and more practical than IC2. Everything in Minecraft looks makeshift, and so do the TE machines. IC2, not really.

    If we're gonna talk about looks, I love that about TE. IC2's art looked really placeholder-y while the textures and designs in TE are actually pretty and colorful. But I liked that about RedPower too.

  10. I also understand that lighting is a big deal on servers, but being able to see at a glance which wires turned on across the whole machine when a lever was flipped and which didn't, that just seems easier to debug than having to run around poking all the rednet with a tool.

    If you don't mind adding some extra kluges to your machine, you could attach lamps or some other little thing to the wires to display whether they're on or not? On a fully utilized cable you'd have to add one for every output of the bundle, but if you're just using it as a replacement red alloy wire you'd only need one. And if you use a glowstone illuminator you can even make it red.

  11. You yourself said that the pack is about fun, right? What's so fun about removing players' options?

    Sometimes options just break other options ore make them completely useless. You know what I miss the least about IC2? Spending tons of work making a stable nuclear reactor while the guy 100m away gets free energy with a few HV solar arrays taking up a small space on his roof.

  12. I never understood why people complain that TE only has one "tier" of tech. If you want your furnace to smelt twice as fast, why not just build another one? Multi-machine networks are fun to make and I thought building big was the point of Minecraft.
