Hey there,
It seems like if you use the Vajra on the Magic Walls blocks from ArsMagica (blocks that reappear when you break them), you'll get the block, and then it will reappear anyway. So basically you're getting an infinite source of magic blocks (which should probably not be collectable in the first place).
Seems more like an Ars Magica fault, you can also collect those blocks with TNT.

Enough trash talking , just send the guy to where he should post bugs related to Industrialcraft 2 for MC 1.4.7/ 1.5.1+ (beta) .
http://bt.industrial-craft.netOr not report this bug, because it was reported twice already.

What is the hydrogen extraction rate using ducts?
It is 100 mB per game tick, tested on short pulses (pulse former -> 200 mB, full repeater -> 800 mB, stone button -> 1900 mB). Liquiducts should also distribute liquids evenly, but remember not to connect more than one liquid receiver to one single piece of liquiduct (one block), because then it behaves really weirdly.

You can increase efficiency of steam boilers if you run them in heating/cooling cycles. Theoretical maximum is 25 % increase of burn time, because cooling is 4 times faster then heating up in final stage of boiler heatup. Practically one 36 HP boiler runs without problems with one bucket of biofuel per 124 s, when normally it uses 1 bucket per 100 s. In this situation it could provide additional 500 EU/t. Running steel cost of turbine is really small if you don't let them break, it is about 24 steel every 60 hours per boiler, you can even make it with UU matter (but electrolysis of obsidian dust from rock crusher is a lot cheaper, even with magma crucible), splitter cable and normal BC gate is enough to prevent unnecessary steel loss. You can also cut on IC2 pumps by using dispensers with buckets. Power converters are boring.

Routers require factorization power now.No, they don't. The only change was that they require strong redstone signal (power) to turn them off, before week signal was enough to disable them (without any visual indication).

You get energy from cables, not from potato. Also there already is SUB in IC2.

There is one problem with it. What is good amount of ore to generate and how to balance it? Good solution would be one central ore generation mod, I hoped metallurgy would be a good candidate for it, but it doesn't seem so now (fantasy metals, non opensource, various unneeded junk). Bigger issue I think is with many different ingots/dusts etc. There are some tries for cleaning it up, like forge lexicon, or some GT automation things (I don't use that part of this addon), but ore dictionary just tells that items can be used in the same recipes, not that they are the same.

Hi,
have you consider to add adamantium? because its an alloy (more usages for your dusts), and it can create weapons almost indestructible (using by default Unbreaking III enchantment maybe?) but with extremely low enchantability (none or almost none). Maybe more other uses, like decorative very hard blocks, better encasing for furnaces, etc..
It's common knowledge that one of the component is a metal from some meteors.. so The End maybe? or extremely rare ore in overworld (meteor one) as one of the components.
Maybe you can override the Nano-Sable with that, because its "unbreakable"

@Kane You can place water in the Nether, you just can't place buckets of water there. I don't think you need grinder for matter fabricator.
-
No ? You never use enchantments to get more diamonds ? You're a strange one ^^.
Of course I use, but I get books from villages or using leather from actual cows. I don't think helping with enchanting should be the focus of IC2 (however tin recipe for obsidian already makes enchanting quicker in early game).
-
I don't like it, IC2 doesn't really use leather/books and you can get leather from scrapboxes. Also leather is harder to get than rotten flesh, so it would only work in 1:8 or 1:16 ratio.

So, just disable this recipe in Forestry config, this option was there for a long time (since version 1.2.9.14, some modders make detailed changelogs).
-
There is config option in Forestry config to disable bronze recipe. You could just optionally add recipe for bronze (giving 2 ingots) if forestry recipe is disabled.

When does the centrifuge do a block update, Greg? I'm planning on making a thing where when a centrifuge is done processing, it signals me and I can put more stuff in.
Won't detector cable work in this case? However some BC gates conditions could be really useful for machines.

Who cares about modding API, performance, bugs or redstone rework to make it actually useful in vanilla, the most important feature is of course fireworks: http://mojang.com/2012/12/minecraft-snapshot-12w49a/ . Bats weren't useless enough?

Did you mean stoichiometry? Even from vanilla mc, the game is not that realistic.. For example who IRL can make a diamond block just using a table and 9 diamonds lol..
Of course, I just thought that English translation in that case was simple ;). It is a little bit embarrassing that I made this mistake, considering number of chemical papers I read in English. About realism, there are many unrealistic things in Minecraft (torches from coal, diamond tools, floating blocks, etc.), but it is usually good for game mechanics, however if only tech mods work well with TFcraft...
What game mechanics does producing of compressed air cells in electrolyzer add? Why add hydrogen cells when there are already electrolyzed water cells? Why would anyone produce methane, but if you really want that, why don't simulate Fischer-Tropsch process (with possibilities to make BC fuel and many other simple hydrocarbon materials). I'm not even sure that burning of coal in hydrogen atmosphere would work. Bauxite processing could for example require heating to get Al2O3 and then subsequent electrolysis in molten phase (two modes of electrolysis, water based and liquid phase could be a good addition). You wouldn't ever make K2CO3 from raw potassium, but from KOH, making metallic potassium for this purpose would be terrible waste of energy.
Edit: I'm not saying that separation of compound to elements is impossible, but it is very expensive and impractical. Chemistry is mainly about reaction of compounds in specific conditions having thermodynamics in mind, not just combining of elements.

Very fun addon, I really liked the fact that it enhance IC2 progression, for example getting a drill is now naturally extending vanilla progression, not replacing it (with normal IC2 most people don't even make diamond picks). One thing that I don't like about it is stechiometric recipes. That's not how chemistry work. With current GT machines there are possibilities for much more realistic processing. Mixing elements to get compounds feels really weird. Magical machine to separate compounds to elements also isn't exactly reasonable.

From my experiments back in 1.2.5 I remember, that my ferru, after manual harvest was dying, if not fertilised/watered, but this wasn't happening if the plant was fully grown. Automatic harvesting using this Forestry addon wasn't causing it.

Well current state of forge mods for first installation is you place your mods in folder and run the game without ID conflicts. There can be some conflicts when adding another mods (which could be solved automatically), but in 1.2.5 it was almost necessary to add mods one at the time and resolve conflicts as they show up.
However there is room for improvement. IMO in an API like forge IDs shouldn't be accessible to modders and be just an internal implementation. From what I read in official API proposals from Mojang developers, it is planned this way (when it will be released and if it will be powerful enough is another story).
