I don't know if this is a bug but some of the new trees, i.e. tiger & maple, don't work with tree capitator. Also, the same trees when I am on my server let me use bone meal on them and don't take the bone meal. I was able to get 3 stacks of sakura wood without using a single bone meal.
I'm with Moose, with all the different mods competing for ores, its nice to not have to worry so much about finding what you need. but if you really want to, Lethosos is right, you can change all the generation settings in the config for Metallurgy.
At first, I wasn't getting the scaffold idea until i realized 2 logs could make 16 scaffold @ 750 eu each compared to the same 2 logs making only 2k eu as charcoal. That is such a good idea Mooseman.
I am trying to mess around with the Applied Energistics along with all the other stuff and just wondered what other people are doing to power all this stuff since solar panels are just a pain to mass produce sometimes.
I am curious what the best/easiest form of sustainable energy is? I have tried solar panels but that takes forever to build anything good enough to power my base.
