• The most unreliable way of testing how random are scrapboxes: Opening an infinite stack of them in front of a transposer connected to a diamond chest (Iron Chests is awesome):

    As you see, I got 18 diamonds, 16 pumpkins, 12 slimeballs, 21 grass and other stuff.

    (by the way, I saw IC2's source once - the scrapbox randomizer is NOT weighted)

    Now to automate the system...

  • dispensers work a treat for automating scrap boxes.

    right now i've got a redstone tube (from additional pipes) in front of a dispenser on a delay. (note: items need to go through at speed, aka: a gold pipe) item comes through, gets fired at obsidian pipe and into the sorting system where most of the possible outputs get fed back into the recyclers.

  • Golden Helmet: I wanted something super-shiny-wearable which is actually one of the most useless items avaible.

    Wooden Hoe: Added after the old amusing IC1 comments "Goddamn, wood tools again. Exspecially hoes, WHOTHEF IS USING WOOD HOES?!".

    Lolz, this is one of those things that just has to stay in the system, I love golden helmets, and wooden hoes are just like, "Awww another wooden hoe again!" Then I just recycle it, in hopes to get a diamond from them :D

    Lesson 1: Watch over your crops....

    In my world, I downloaded the new IC2 version, got up a whole bunch of crossbreeders going, and thought to myself "This is going to take a while. Wasn't there an abandoned mineshaft not far from my workshop?" So I get my tools together, charge into the mineshaft, suffer many close shaves, stayed a bit longer than is probably healthy, but emerge from the experience all the wiser (literally, I gained several levels), and with oodles of melon and pumpkins seeds to boot.

    And come home to find out that weeds have destroyed my entire farm. :cursing:
