  1. You could use ME precision import & export buses to avoid this problem. Or you could create a loop (don't use any carrots, just circle them around) till you reach high enough number to fill up the planter and the pipes buffer. Once you've done that, split the harvesters output with "RoundRobin Transport pipe" from BC and have one of the outputs feed the loop and the other is your endless supply of carrots. Hope this helped.

     

    I think Itemducts do not work that way, i.e. they pull until you tell them to stop or some criteria for a shutting-off Redstone signal are met. I find it easiest to just view the Harvester output chest as a transitive buffer, hook the "carrot storage" up with Itemducts somewhere near, and connect that one to the Planter as a sort of loopback. A DSU works fine as a no-maintenance storage medium at this point, and you can even hook it up to an ME network later using a Storage Bus. Once you get an ME network, I suggest to replace most Itemduct connections with ME Cable and Import/Export Buses anyway.

    Thanks to the both of you, it did help a lot! I think I'll just start on my ME system right now to avoid any more trouble with this and use export buses instead. Thanks for being on this so quickly.

  2. So,

     

    I just made a planter and harvester as I usually do, however the same issue keeps popping up. Whenever I get carrots, how do I get only one stack into the planter, and keep the rest in the chest? I tried putting dirt in every slot in the planter except one to just keep one stack, but the thermal expansion itemducts keep pulling carrots out of the chest even if the planter is full, and it just stuffs them in its buffer.

     

    My question is, how can I keep only one stack of carrots in the planter at a time, while still keeping the rest in the chest by the harvester without them being pulled out?

  3. Well there is another way, grab a redstone energy cell, and put it in your inventory, add a solar generator to your power suit helmet, then sit their in the open sun afk or something. It's not really efficient, but it works for people who dont have a great power source :/

    Edit: Then again you'd prolly get mauled by mobs when it becomes nighttime :/

  4. Yea Steve's Carts 2 is the current mod, you can make automated carts that do chores for you, kind of like minefactory reloaded machines but in a cart form, having more mobility and flexibility with tasks like drilling or even just putting down track for you. You can even make your minecart have a "Divine Shield" which is about the most boss looking thing ever which protects you when you ride it. You do need a seat to ride it though. You should look into it.

  5. It's Waffle, so I've been having a mini-problem with spot loaders and ender tanks. Whenever I log into my server, and nobodies been on, I need to go into the nether to kind of "start my ender tank"? It won't pump lava until I load the chunks there, but i thought spot loaders were supposed to do that when you logged in, or even just started the server. If anyone knows why this happens or has a solution, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

  6. OH I just found the problem, and I think its a bug, the dial is always facing south, so when I went to the side facing the south, it highlighted an invisible dial which I could then turn, this goes the same with the wool color code, its just as if it was facing south, so when you guys place it, always place it while you face north, so that the dial faces the south. Hope that helps anyone with the same issue :3

  7. It's Waffle, so I just made some ender tanks, to find that when I look at the dial, it doesnt highlight it, and I cant spin it around D: It may be that they made it so that they can either send or receive no matter what now, but that's my best guess. Please help unless this is like a bug or something.

  8. I've been looking around for a Tekkit server download for Tekkit 1.0.6 but I can't find one D: Does anyone have a link to one or knows where to find one?

    P.S. Reason I'm doing this for an outdated version is because my friend and I think the newer version is a little too complex for us.

    EDIT: I do know there is one cause I saw it once, but since then my history was deleted :/
