That's good to know. I've never really liked EE just because it's been incredibly imba in the past, so I'm still a little skeptical, but I'll trust your word. Converting mundane materials into other mundane materials seems just fine to me.

As for the quarries, is it possible to adjust the anchorage via IC2's configs?

As he already said condensers and collectors are out, I'm not 100% sure if the erhm... EMC converter thingy is still in, if it is it will be disabled. The idea of "Oh I need stones but I only have one diamond let me get 2k of them without any drawbacks" is just dumb.

EE3's alchemy will have so many changes and takes a few mechanics from FMA, so unless you are literally willing to give an arm and leg, I think it will be fine.

this is coming form the guy who keep up to date of the mod's development.

Maybe we could do some FTB trivia/riddles while we wait.

For example: How do you get a full MSFU to transfer only 128 eu/t to another MFSU?
edit: without wasting any energy. For example by sending it to 4 mfsu's.

How many stacks of cobblestone is required when making a HV solar array?

1/8 if you count gregtech ultimate hybrid.

If its the old tekkit combined arrays its 64 stacks.

Send the output to 4 MFEs, 3 of which feed back to the MFSU and 1 which goes to the target?

Hah, yeah that works :D

The idea was to send it through a MV transformer then a LV transformer to the other MFSU. Turns out that transforming down, it turns 1 packet of let's say 512eu into max 4 packets of 128eu, so if you then do that again, your maximum is 4x 32eu, which means 128eu/t.

Bonus: Some Forestry information:

Machine 	Average usage (MJ/t)
Arboretum 		1
Automatic tree tap 	9
Bottler 		4
Cacti harvester 	1
Carpenter 		5
Centrifuge 		5
Combine 		1
Fermenter 		5
Forester 		9
Infernal combine 	1
Mushroom picker 	1
Pumpkin harvester 	1
Logger 			1
Squeezer 		5
Still 			5
Sugarcane harvester 	1
Thermionic fabricator 	5
Turbary 		1

So basically forestry farms and harvesters only require 1 mj/t to operate normally, but if you let them, they suck up 15-25mj/t. This is something to look out for when using redstone energy cells and conduits from thermal expansion.

Wow, I didn't know they use that few energy. THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO BLOW UP LIKE IC2 STUFF. =D

Noooo, don't blow up my farms!

In other news, + Show Spoiler [Slightly off-topic] +

I've been playing a pretty cool map while we wait for FTB to be fully operational, and I suggest you give it a try. It's a monument-style map called "The Quest for Cheese", where you explore a life-sized house as a two-inch tall mouse, collecting cheese blocks to complete a monument room. It's a lot of fun, and I'm thoroughly impressed with the architecture. I don't have a download link handy (typing this on my phone as I'm walking to work), but Planetminecraft should have it somewhere. Search for maps made by "Verques" (Everquest without the front and ending E's). Try it out! :D

More info!!!!!

1 coal = 1600 MJ at 1 MJ/t in a stirling engine (old steam engine)
1 coal = 4000 eu at 10 eu/t in a generator
thats 2:5

1 bucket of lava = 21.000 MJ at 1 MJ/t in a combustion engine
1 bucket of lava = 18.000 MJ at 4 MJ/t in a magmatic engine from Thermal expansion
1 bucket of lava = 20.000 eu at 20eu/t in a geothermal generator
thats 1:1 basically for IC/BC

1 bucket of lava in a geothermal engine, hooked up to an electrical engine, gives 6.665 MJ at 2MJ/t

If all else fails, maybe we can remove the landmark from the game, by setting the item.id as 0?
Gotta test how exactly this would work though.

Without landmarks, all you have is the basic quarry of 9x9

Docm77 talking with Slowpoke about all things FTB:

Also Redpower2 news from Eloraam:

As for the blog, Wordpress is too heavy. I've got people helping me migrate to something that won't keep crashing MySQL.
Openen

I want to thank everyone who donated over the past week. It's let me take a few days of unpaid leave to try to finish up RP.

outside of bluticity cables edging over blocks, I didn't learn anything I didn't already know form the SMP series on forgecraft and shadwdrgn's series, although this was insightful.
