[Tutorial] Efficiency, advanced lagfree Mechanics and logisticspipesfree recursive Autocrafting, with IC², Redpower and Tubestuff (including Windmillengineering by SpwnX) - Incredibly outdated, GT offers automation now.

Okay, if you could give me some help, spwnX, that'd be nice. I've read through the math on your post and made a tower, and I understand that occasionally wind mills dont produce any energy, but I've had a tower running for a few minecraft days without any power from it? Did i do something wrong or should I just be more patient?

What cable type are you using?

I'm using tin then at the end of the tower I have a MV transformer like he has, turning the ULV-current into Mv to reduce the amount of packets. After the transformer its glass fibre, down to my

Yeah sorry, this isn't really my area of expertise

I haven't seen magtubes mentioned here yet. When I built the item-handling system in the lair on my server, I decided to use them pretty much everywhere. The last time I built a system like this (big factory & storage area, tubes EVERYWHERE) magtubes weren't in yet, and the lag was noticable when even a moderate number of items were coming in.

This one, the magtubes get stuff out of the system so fast, my frame quarry can dump every block in a chunk into the system in the space of 5 minutes or so with no lag at all. And that's with a factory recirculating overflow. The accelerators don't take too much blutricity, and the tubes themselves are just copper, obsidian, and glass, which I normally have too much of, anyway.

I gave it a redstone signal with a lever like you said just now. It's generating a bit of power but not as much as I'd expect. I have the highest wind mill at 181, like said in the post.

Yeah, I love magtubes. I use them to send the stof from my forestry farms which are moderately far from my house (like 80 tubes to connect), over to my sorting system. They work really nice, and I have a crap ton of copper, and an obsidian generator in the nether, so theres no real harm.

I guess I just needed to give it a bit of time, it filled up my energy loader (i made a really awesome-looking house and a wind tower would eh, not look so nice so i'm using railcraft + portal gun to move the eu to my base) in about 8 minutes, so hah, thanks anyway. But jeez I used a lot of resources on this thing, lol

Yeah, wind powers sooo underrated. So many people say "wind sux" or something along those lines, but hah, I love wind mills. As for the part about doing it legitly, yeaah, my uu gen is just 16 geogens in the nether so I used practically all my iron on it.

Now you only need Redpower Control :3

If you have/can figure out a way to check if there are items in an inventory(example, in the top slot of a Recycler) with RedPower 2, then I can completely remove BuildCraft from my list of mods to install(would still install forestry, because forestry is awesome). I've been using gates and cobble structure pipes to detect if there is cobblestone in a recycler inventory, and if there is not to send a redstone signal which gets inverted and connected to two filters. One filter pull any scrap out of the recycler and another pulls 64 cobble out of a chest and places it in the top slot. I had to NOT gate the redstone signal so that when there wasn't any cobble it was like a pulse of redstone. Here are two pictures to show you what I mean:

Oh okay, that makes sense. I'm not well versed at the newer RP2 machines(Regulator specifically) so I didn't know you could use it that way. And I'm pretty sure you can install forestry without BC, but I would have to test it. Even if you couldn't, I can still eliminate LogiPipes from my install once I start my 1.3 world. No sense in restarting now considering none of the good mods are updated yet.

I'll also have to use TubeStuff in my next world, many good looking things in that mod.

Also, the reason I'm only using one recycler(seems pretty dumb right?) is because I have ten overclockers in it(extreme late game power, I can auto craft nuclear reactors and reactor components, so I'm not hurting for power), so it goes through cobble stone like it's nothing. Then I pull out the scrap and put it into a chest, then it gets crafted into scrap boxes and used as Massfab Amplifier(a la GregoriousCore, thanks a lot for that, I also am using Silver Circuits and Bronze Pistons now) which is powered by 128 wind mills, three nuclear reactors, and two MV Solar Arrays that all together produces roughly 348 EU/t.

Agreed.

Huh? How are you going to re-use the handsaw after crafting the wafers? Used saws don't have the same meta-value as a fresh new saw, I think.
The only thing that I can guess is the mod of OPness

or the Thaumic Restorer, but that would probably take tons of space for the system to pull out handsaws, place them into the restorer, pull it back out and back into the Autocrafting Table Mk.2
There's also the matter of the vis conduits.
