Ok, apparently you can use a shutter and a controller cover to gate the flow of power into the igniter, but the shutter only works if placed on a wire. If placed on the side of a battery box going directly into the igniter, it does not work. Also I…

I thought that automatic igniters needed a redstone signal to activate? They seem to ignore redstone and just constantly keep lighting fires.

Ok, so I guess I needed a bucket-o-meter, but still they are weird. They are not covers but stand alone blocks so if you stick one on the face of a drum, there is a mostly air block that is redstone powered and then you need to connect a redstone wire…

I'm confused by fluid-o-meters. It won't let you dial the amount above 9999L, but it does seem to also have a >/< % mode, but the % seems to be hard wired to 100%; you can't adjust it.

What is the difference between blue power red alloy wire and GT red alloy wire? Other than the GT ones cost more to make ( and shouldn't they be homogenized? )?

Why is there no energy-o-meter to output a redstone signal based on the charge of the battery box? How do you automate generator startup/shutdown?

So I thought that cfoam sprayed multiple blocks at once, but when I applied it to some wires in the floor it only applied to one at a time. Also, if you don't have IC2 installed for the scaffolding, how do you make normal cfoam blocks?

Rubber itself says it is flamable, but rubber pipes are not. Is this intentional and going to stay that way?

Yea, started with Bear's light pack last summer. Why put it in if you are going to disable the storage cell? How do you undo that?

I was just looking at what it will take to build an AE2 system and storage cells are missing from NEI. Spacial storage cells are there, just not the regular ones. Did Greg or Bear break something?

Why is there no way to break potassium bisulfate back down into sulfur, oxygen, and potassium? I'm trying to make some nicads and this seems to be where my potassium us.

Oh right.. 4 silver and 1 copper gets you 5 sterling, not 4. So I actually made 1.25 units of it, got out 2 scrap, and I guess the rest was voided since 1/4th doesn't make an even number of 1/9ths.

Sterling silver = 4 parts silver to 1 part copper. Since I got one rod out and half of the signalum I was trying to make ( which used one unit of silver ), that leaves 3/4ths a unit of copper in the crucible. Indeed it did look…

So I was making a batch of signalum. Added 5 copper, then threw in 20 redstone in batches of 4 waiting for it to combine each time, giving me 4 red alloy and 1 copper. I threw in the two silver expecting to get 8 signalum, but instead I got 4 signalum…

Magnetite can be cooked with dark ash instead of pure carbon, but how about charcoal dust? You can use it to reduce titanium, so why not iron?

So far I only have two steel/wood tanks for holding creosote and biomass. I use titanium drums to buffer methane and store the outputs from the distillation tower. Even stainless steel tanks only need 104 stainless steel so even…

(Quote from GregoriusT)

Because nothing else uses anywhere near that much of the stuff. The next largest thing is the distillation tower and that is only 248.

I get the intent, just that 1600 stainless just seemed rather excessive, are you sure you didn't intend it to be like 400 and forgot that each wall takes 4 plates?

Carborundum tools are awesome enough and now I have a titanium MV drill and titanium aluminum alloy MV chainsaw.

I have semi automated sluicing and roasting. Only thing I have fully automated is the aqua regia loop to process the massive amount of nickel to get 7 bloody iridium for the crystalization crucible. I have never found…
