There was a particularly useful looking mountain I ran across; unfortunately, it was 1.5 km away from my base. So I cloned it.

Partial constructed mountain
Fully constructed mountain

It took about 3-4 hrs, 11k dirt and 31k stone, and was fully powered by 3 combustion engines, 6 redstone engines, and 1 steam engine. Building materials were provided by an energy condenser chest into which I threw a diamond once an hour or so. I was actually pretty surprised at how fast it went; blueprints seem to be a pretty effective way of transplanting mountains.

That's brilliant hahaha

Ok, I'm having 3 problems. I am using all the mods direwolf is using thanks to forsaken.

Do want. I've tried a couple of times to do the installs and I've consistently required a nuke to clear up game-crashing mistakes.

WTS: FORTH boot disk. After another short expedition into the mines, I acquired four more, bringing my total up to eight. Eloraam said she tweaked the spawn rate, but this is a mite absurd at the moment.

Oh well, free stuff. I can research or recycle them.

The post is a little bit back in this thread.

   I made something quite interesting. I am sure you have all seen a frame quarry by now but I took it a step further. I made a computer controlled frame quarry with a 3x3 footprint using just frames and chickenbones wireless redstone and enderchests. With my expiramenting a 3x3 base is the smallest breaker formation you can make and keep all the stuff near the head and it does a 3x4 hole (of course smaller is possible with some tricky work). I think I managed to get my creation down as short as I could and I am still improving it and in fact manage to add something to it even while I was recording. Here is the video and for those of you who just want a picture check the spoiler below:

Got a world download for that, akhier?

I'm going to see if I can make it not so tall and stuff.

Sure here is the link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11378034/RedQuarry%20TestWorld.7z

I know of at least one spot that I could make it shorter by a block but with how RedPower wiring works most of the space seems to be needed. I don't know about the Quarry head though, I think there may be some useless space there so it may be a good spot to start. Also the very Top has solar panels and I don't know how they compare in power generation to the other thing with only one water and one lava next to it so you may be able to remove either a whole lot or just a little depending on the power needs.

You're already using ender chests... why not set up a power system somewhere else using logistics pipes if possible which feeds batteries into a batbox and pulls them out once full to stuff into an enderchest, then the system on the quarry pulls full batteries out to use their power.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Because I did not think of that and it would be better. Especially since a full battery and an empty one are different IDs in RedPower. Also one thing to note about my save is that it uses my lets play mods so if it doesn't work I can set up a world save using only the bare minimum.

[forsaken1111]

Hell you could even include a teleport pipe onboard and link the thing to your logistics network! Autosorting for the win!

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   I am using an enderchest and when I make my sorting system in my lets play it will be like DireWolf's so I would just have the enderchest be the sorting chest. If I was going to go all out I could probably shrink it some right quick by not caring about the resources I use. I kept some things to a minimum like the wireless receivers so it would not cost to much to create.

[Vattic]

Sounds interesting Akhier. I think I can imagine how he's using the ender chest but would like to see. Do you know which of his videos it's in?

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   I would just like to say first that DireWolf is not using an enderchest for his sorting chest, that was just something I was going to do. As for his sorting machine you can see him build it in episode 10. Just replace the normal chest with an enderchest and your good, especially since the quicksort module pulls a stack at a time so it should be able to easily handle whatever you throw at it. He does use an enderchest for his lava cells as its a cross dimensional thing and thus his lava production in the nether goes right to his base without manually moving the stuff.

[Vattic]

Fair enough. Cheers anyway. On my SSP world I don't use BC right now but I have some cool RP2 + IronChests sorters working.
