Is anyone knowledgable about Buildcraft? I have towers of redstone engines daisy-chained all feeding into a wooden pipe feeding into a teleport pipe that sends the energy to a quarry. Should I hook the redstone engines up each with its own wooden pipe rather than daisy-chain them?

My understanding (which may not be accurate anymore) was that daisy-chaining engines only helped them heat up faster. If that's true, it would be better to have one wooden pipe per engine. It may take longer to heat up, but you'll get more power in the end. One quick wiki search later and I found that I was wrong.

Myself, I prefer an unholy union of Equivalent Exchange, Forestry, IndustrialCraft, and BuildCraft for my sustainable power generation. It takes a hell of a lot more resources than a bunch of stacks of redstone engines, but it's more fun to make.

... and yes, I know that a single steam engine works a lot better xD

So I'm not the only one who's obsessed with free/sustainable effects.

Yup! :3
I was planning on powering lots of quarries that feed to a energy condenser which, when used right, acts like an actual Equivalent Exchange— unlike the transmutation tablet + sun-storing thingies—and store all my sand and dirt and others as iron ingots.

Course, only problem is that I don't know how to sort ores out using Redpower tubes. Might have to resort to diamond pipes from Buildcraft.

Meanwhile, maybe even huge sugar cane farms, again for lots of iron ingots.

Out of curiousity, if Mystcraft gets SMP and goes into the Tekkit pact, who would like to do some kind of Multiplayer RP survival thing? Its just something I thought of while trying to survive because I just went into an unexplored dimension without a linking book by mistake, losing my god-like level of advancement in Technic.

What? Mystcraft already has SMP. I have it running just fine on my private server.

Doublepost, but...

What hath science wrought?!

[Johnfalcon99977]

I've had that idea in my head for a while, actually. Much more complex then that though. The only reason I haven't done it is because I don't know jack shit about coding and I'm far too lazy

So this is pretty damn awesome an' shit

Makes my crappy little 5x5 machine room look rather puny by comparison

Do you know what mods he is running?
I'm rather interested in this

Looks like IC2, buildcraft, wireless redstone, redpower, computercraft, and something that let him make colored stone blocks. I didn't see any others

Good luck, I wrestled with minecraft for about 2 hours last night getting all my mods working.

He's using the Technic pack.

He's using the Technic pack.

Well that makes it easier.

Is everything in technic updated now?

[The Merchant Of Menace]

If you use the Dev builds it's usually mostly updated.
Currently lacks Equivalent Exchange I think.
You can always update stuff manually as well.

Decided to actually LEARN tekkit, so i started a new singleplayer world.
Internet/router decides that this is a great moment to become incredibly slow.
And i cant restart it, because my dad was downloading some songs (wich were obviously ALSO taking long.)

Do you have any specific questions about a mod?

[miauw62]

No, not yet.
Just discovered that redpower lacks a proper wiki, wich really sucks.
