I love the idea of macro machines too. 2 questions, will you be allowing colour glass panes or will this just apply to blocks? Also, if you do add panes, will different colours connect when you place them adjacent?

The trouble with that skuli is that you'd lose the items. I'd suggest using a transposer connected to an item detector which automatically switches off your quarry should overflow occur. An easy way to increase the catchment area of a transposer is to use flowing water to push items to it. If the overflow occurs because your system can't process items fast enough you can set the quarry to restart after a set amount of time using a timer.

Although I haven't done much with redpower yet, I have read up on it a lot. As I understand it, a retriever could be used to extract the exact amount of items you need. Could this not be used to automatically retrieve the required items?

You might be interested in upgrading the nether with a mod. Better Nether would be my choice.

I resent the implication that I'm begging for hours of work. Gotyaoi stated he had future plans and I added my suggestion on what he could add. Gotyaoi doesn't have to add them. I just wanted to state them for concideration.

I've always wanted to be able to dye clay, mainly white for victorian houses, but also other colours to make walls look painted. This might be something to concider adding. Also, dyed bricks. Not vividly changed in colour, still natural looking, just slightly shaded. When I thought about making stained glass I thought it'd be best if sand is mixed with dye before smelting to make the glass. Same would apply to bricks. Just my two cents.
