Hello, would first like to thank you for updating this mod. I love both Nether Ores and MineFactory.
I'm having issues using this mod with a local pack I have. I run with several mods, all of which function without MineFactory (Even with PowerCrystals Core and NetherOres installed) I played several hours through the game without MineFactory and found no issues.
When MineFactory is added to the Mods folder, the game does not load. It does not crash, just idols. As a result, I do not have a crash log. I am including a list of mods and the Development Console copy, to see if any of you see any obvious conflicts.
Note: I did try IC2 #234 and came up with the same issue.

This looks like one of the pipes in ABO is causing an infinite loop by inserting items into the DSU it refuses in the ISidedInventory interface.
Hmm does the auto-spawner stop creating mobs if a player isnt within a certain number of blocks? because my spaawner is near my house and is chunkloaded but im not seeing an income unless im more or less directly above the spawner. if this is a intended feature is there a way to somehow disable it?.
thanks
I use your fabulous mod with a bunch of others. I have noticed an issue that seemed to be with EnderIO. However, unfortunately, I found my crashing issues had to do with one file in PowerCrystalsCore.
Within the COFH folder of your Core mod, IItemConduit.class is out of date and causing other mods to collapse (EnderIO and TE when using EnderIO item conduits with Tesseracts). While I have patched my files and no longer suffer from my world crashing, it may be of benefit to update for future releases.

Oh, never mind, its working
I just took some mods out and then it worked, but... when i took the mods out, I had 22 mods installed (that was what the game wrote) and then I put MFR,and then he wrote me "55 Mods Installed".
What the heck... but ok its working now.
Putting Peridot Ore from Project Red http://projectredwik.../wiki/Main_Page (Current release version) into the Block Smasher crashes the server 100% of the time.
Edit: all of the Project Red ores do this 100% of the time.

Worse, if you destroy the prechargers and even the drill itself, the area is still a danger zone. If you built it in a location without a big amount of light, you will see that the light generated by the laser beams is still there even after the destruction. It seems that the beams disappear only graphically, but still remains here. I have to place some blocks at the location of the laser beams to get rid of this bug.
With the change to auto spawners not splitting slimes anymore, I don't know a good way to make a lot of mob essence.
Using a spawner found in dungeons is not an option, you have to be in 16 block range, and a vanilla spawner is way to slow to mass produce certain things, if you know a fast way of creating mob essence please tell me.
By default, I understand you are supposed to be using neutral mob farms. Bevo uses an Extra Utilities Corrupted Earth mob farm.
Alright, so call this a silly question, but how do you get Mine Factory Reloaded to work with Industrialcraft...and just Industrialcraft?
I ask because, while the machines can accept IC2's power, their functions seem to be specifically made for Buildcraft. In particular, there's a few machines that need to have liquid pumped out of them, and from what I can tell, IC2 can't do that. Am I just missing something obvious, or is there really no way to use the machines without an additional mod?

The machines that produce liquids will automatically output to adjacent blocks that store liquid so, for example, you must place the sludge boiler right next to the harvester and it will output sludge to the sludge boiler. The same goes with the other fluid outputting blocks. It's not as convenient as pipes/tubes/ducts/etc, but It does work. I've only checked this with a few, but I know for certain it works with the harvester/sludge boiler, and the sewer/composter, I see no reason why it wouldn't work for other liquid producing MFR blocks.

Thanks for the info. Might be a little tricky to set up an autospawner, but it does answer my question.
Is there a reliable way to avoid the reported crash bug with Carpenter's Blocks? e.g. if I am careful to NOT use any Carpenter's Blocks near my planters, will that avoid the issue?
Moving on, would it be feasible to introduce a block that functions like the OpenBlocks XP drain, to wit, siphons experience/mob essence steadily from a player standing on it / next to it? Possibly being able to disable it with a switch? Extracting XP bucket by bucket is not only tedious, but - thanks to the massive amount of XP needed for later levels - hugely inefficient, and using OpenBlocks into Bottles o' Enchanting and tossing them onto a sewer I'm pretty sure is very lossy as well.
You must download a PCCore build correct for 1.6.2 or 1.6.4. All the other mods work in both, but PC Core must match your Minecraft version. A link is provided for both versions.

Wylker made this video covering the new stuff in 2.1:
2.0
RedstoneNightmare made this video covering MFR which goes over most of the features (and a few bugs that have since been fixed):
Wylker also did a pretty good video on the basics of how to use MFR:
If you're thinking "haven't I seen this somewhere else", well, you probably have. The original MineFactory dates back to beta 1.4 (if not 1.3, I forget). I took over around beta 1.6-1.7 and called it Reloaded, and kept up until 1.0, at which point I had to retire due to real life time shortages. I left it with TehKrush, who then gave it to AtomicStryker, and now I have it back. And now I have made a complete overhaul of the thing. You're welcome!
MFR aims to automate a number of tasks that previously would be difficult, boring, or work-intensive. It also provides some additional support blocks and machines.
The first thing you'll need to make is rubber. You can find MFR rubber trees in swamps - look for the bright green leaves - but IC2 rubber will also work. The config file allows you to disable MFR rubber trees in worldgen in case you prefer IC2 rubber trees. Once you have raw rubber, smelt it once to get rubber bars, and then again to get plastic:
(Top: IC2 rubberballs, bottom: MFR rubberbars)
Then, take your raw plastic and craft it into plastic sheets:
Finally, make machine blocks:
And a hammer:
You'll need it to rotate machines. OmniTools supports it as of 3.0.0, for those of you rolling your eyes at 'yet another tool'.
There's also "ceramic dyes", used for a few things later. Substitute the dye of your choice to change the color.
Due to MFR liquids being placeable in the world, milk buckets can no longer be drank from. Instead, you can make milk bottles:
There is the ability to smelt sugar into sugar charcoal:
Weaker than standard charcoal, but easy to come by.
Some machines accept upgrades:
There are numerous upgrade tiers, all crafted like this but with the top material changed (to gold, bronze, silver, diamonds, etc). Upgrades boost the effective radius of a machine. Machines with upgrade slots will have a single slot with a 'ghosted' upgrade spite in it.
I'll also take a moment to explain the MFR GUIs. Most machines will look like this:
Some may not have an inventory or a liquid storage bar. From left to right, the four bars at the right are:
Liquid stored
Power stored
Progress towards completion, which is not always used
Idle countdown, which occurs if a machine can't do anything (to reduce CPU load)
Several have specialized GUIs, and their individual entries will describe that.
All machines can be broken by hand; you don't even need a pick. Breaking a machine will drop its items but destroy any power, liquid, or work progress it has built up.
Finally, all machines can be powered by BuildCraft power (or Thermal Expansion conduits) or IC2 power (up to MV only!). All machines can be serviced by any standard liquid pipes (BC or TE), and will attempt to drop items into BC pipes first, then adjacent inventories, and finally will just drop items onto the ground.
The first thing you'll need is a planter:
Planters affect a 3x3x1 area above them. Place dirt* in a 3x3 grid, and center the planter directly under it. Place plants in the planter, and it will plant them. It understands every vanilla plant, from wheat to carrots to trees to cocoa, as well as IC2 rubber trees, RP2 rubber trees and flax, ExtraBiomesXL trees, and everything from Pam's HarvestCraft except apple trees.
*assuming your plant grows in dirt. If you're farming netherwart, use soulsand, etc.
The planter GUI looks like this:
If you do not set anything in the Filter slots, it will plant whatever wherever. If you do set a filter, it will divide its area into 9 segments (matching the colors on top of the planter) and will put only that plant in that segment. In that way, the planter can manage up to 9 distinct plants.
Planters accept upgrades.
Next, you'll want a harvester:
Harvesters affect a 3x3x1 area in front of them. Center the harvester so its animated face is aimed at the middle of one of the sides of the 3x3 area immediately above your dirt block (so it's touching any plants in that tile) and power it. It understands the same set of plants the planter does, as well as some extra things like flowers and tall grass. Harvesters slowly produce sludge, a liquid which will be covered later.
Harvesters also have a special GUI:
It has three extra settings:
"Shear Leaves": if Yes, it will act like shears on leaf blocks. You'll get no saplings, but a ton of leaf blocks. Useful if you want to have a ton of cheap scaffolding and you have spare saplings. (Screenshot is old, text says 'shear' now)
"Small Shrooms": if Yes, it will harvest small mushrooms instead of ignoring them. This is provided so you can decide between mushroom-spreading farms and mushroom-growing farms.
"Jungle Wood": if Yes, it will harvest (vanilla) jungle wood instead of ignoring it. This is provided so you can grow cocoa, as it must be attached to jungle wood.
Note for server owners: when the Harvester encounters a tree, it expands its search radius to find tree blocks. A larger search area means it can cut down giant trees, but it doesn't make any attempts to make sure that what it's cutting down is the same tree, and larger areas mean higher CPU load. The default settings are intended to cover large oak trees, but can be adjusted in the config.
The height it searches for cactus and sugarcane can also be changed, in case you ever need to do that.
Harvesters accept upgrades. Note that the GUI screenshot above is old and doesn't show the upgrade slot.
Next, you'll probably want a fertilizer:
Fertilizers are placed the same way as harvesters, except on a separate side. They act like the player using bonemeal. They do not run off bonemeal by default (but this can be enabled in the config), but instead on a special MFR fertilizer:
If IC2 is installed, IC2's fertilizer will also work; likewise with Forestry and its fertilizer. The fertilizer understands everything the planter does (try it on flax!).
The Fertilizer accepts upgrades.
Finally, there's the new Fruit Picker:
The Fruit Picker is used to pick fruit off trees where the tree or plant itself is not cut down. By default it understands cocoa as well as fruit from Harvestcraft.
Animal farming has changed wildly from MFR 1.x. All animal machines, unless otherwise specified, affect a 5x5 area. It all now starts with a breeder:
The breeder will consume wheat to place any animals in front of it 'in love'. Once they breed, you'll want to use a Chronotyper:
Which can be used to filter children from adults, or vice-versa. It will place sorted animals behind it. Note that chronotyped babies will still try to walk towards their parents because you are a horrible person.
The Chronotyper GUI has a single button that allows you to toggle between babies and adults as the target.
If they aren't growing up fast enough, get a Vet:
Vets can use syringes on animals. The base syringe is fairly easy to make:
And then you can make health syringes:
Or growth syringes:
If golden carrots are too expensive, you can try your luck at zombie syringes which usually work:
But I take no responsibility for a sudden growth of undead.
There are de-zombification syringes, which can cure villagers:
And slime embiggening syringes to make slimes bigger, solving a vital problem everybody faces
Health syringes heal animals a small amount. Growth syringes turn babies into adults. There are rumors that this works on villagers too...
All syringes are reusable and turn into the empty version when used. You can use them from your hand, as well.
Once they grow up, you can use a second Chronotyper to pull the adults out. You now have two choices.
You can use a Rancher:
The MFR 2.x Rancher is very different from its older counterpart. It can do the following:
Milk from cows and Mooshrooms
Mushroom soup from Mooshrooms (put empty bowls in the inventory)
Wool from sheep
Ink from squid
If you want the death drops, you'll need to kill them. You could stab them, but why do the work when you can use a Grinder:
These things instantly kill any mob in front of them and produce one of their drops at random. Grinders slowly produce liquid Mob Essence as a side effect, which will be covered later. They work on any vanilla mob (except villagers), allowing you to build fuilly automated harvesters for things like blaze rods or spider eyes that normally require the player to kill the mob or a lot of extra effort. They will even retrieve any enchanted items!
The Grider must be manually programmed by me for any modded mob. If your favorite mod lacks support, tell me.
Finally, you should consider putting Sewers under your animal pens:
Sewers very slowly generate Sewage, a liquid that will be covered later. They do not require power. Sewers only cover a 1x1 area above them, unlike other animal machines. The more animals within a sewer's operation area, and the bigger they are, the more sewage is produced.
Sewers accept upgrades. Sewers will shut down if they detect another sewer within their operational area.
And if you're wondering how to get the animals to your base, try a Safari Net:
Did you know that every time you lure animals with food or transport them by minecarts for miles a ghast cries? It's true! And now you can harvest that power to transport them much more easily. Safari nets work like programmable mob spawn eggs - right click on a mob to capture it, and then again on the ground to place it. Works on hostile mobs, but not villagers. And it even gets the spawn egg colors while 'full'.
Infinitely reusable!
Over time those ghast tears turn into slimes, which are a pale imitation of their ghastly brothers but still do the job:
This version is cheaper but will be consumed when the mob is placed.
For the mean people among you, there's the Jailer's Safari Net:
Mobs placed with this will not despawn. This is not 100% guaranteed because minecraft, but it works in most cases.
Have you wanted to capture mobs from a distance, or perhaps shower your friends in creeprs? The Safari Net Launcher has your back:
Just rightclick to fire.
If you find a mob spawner but it's not in a useful place, get a Portaspawner:
Rightclick on a (vanilla) spawner to pick it up, then rightclick again to place it. This item is only good for a single use. Note that it respects any custom spawner settings, in case a mod generates a special one.
If you're low on food, there's the Slaughterhouse:
The slaughterhouse acts similar to the grinder, except it produces liquid meat instead of mob essence (and no items). It also sometimes produces pink slime instead. Both of these can be sent to a meat packer:
Liquid meat turns into meat ingots, and pink slime turns into meat nuggets. These can be crafted into each other and meat blocks:
You can also cook and eat them of course.
Sometimes placing pink slime liquid in the world will turn it into Pink Slimes. They drop pink slimeballs, but they can drop meat too if you're creative about things.
One of the oldest features of MineFactory (even before the Reloaded) has been conveyor belts. They're still here:
(It makes 16 at a time, this is an old screenshot). Conveyors carry entities along them - items for one, but any mob or player as well. Make escalators!
You can now dye them with ceramic dyes:
To get things onto conveyors, use an Ejector:
A redstone pulse will pull from any adjacent inventories and eject out the 'hole'.
Items on conveyors can be sorted with Item Routers:
The slots correspond to the colored sides. It will output into the air, an adjacent inventory, or a BuildCraft pipe. It also has a single-slot internal inventory so incoming pipes/etc can place things into it. The top is a valid input but not output to avoid items bouncing in and out forever.
Item routers can pull things off MFR conveyors placed on top of them if that item has a valid route in the router.
There's also an Enchantment Router:
It acts kind of like the item router, but sorts by enchantments. If you put a sword with Sharpness I and Knockback I in it, and item with Sharpness or Knockback will be matched. Finally, a way to dispose of all of those items with Bane of Arthropods!
You can end conveyors with an Item Collector:
Any items that bump into them will be placed into adjacent chests. It understands sided inventories (like furnaces), too. Unlike Item Routers, they will never drop into the world.
What if you want to sort liquids? Well, the Liquid Router has that covered:
Behaves like the Item Router. Works with BC pipes and TE liquiducts. Should work with most tanks and tank-like machines. To sort, place a container of the liquid you want in the matching slot - i.e. a bucket of water in the red slot will make water go to the red side.
Next up, we have the Fisher:
The fisher must be placed over at least 3x3x1 of water, so that the bottom face of the fisher is touching the center water tile. It will then slowly produce fish.
There's also a block breaker:
Pretty much every mod has one of these, this is just around for save compatibility more than anything. That and people that like conveyor belts I guess.
The Weather Collector can generate water from rain or snowballs from snow:
It does nothing in a desert. There's no rain there, what did you expect? It's most intended for people playing with mods that disable infinite water.
The sludge from earlier? It goes into a Sludge Boiler:
Which will slowly turn it into sand, dirt, and clay (and very rarely soulsand). If you have ExtraBiomesXL installed, it will also produce cracked sand and quicksand occasionally. Warning: standing next to an active sludge boiler may be hazardous to your health.
Sewage goes into a composter:
Which produces Fertilizer items.
Ever have the feeling that there just isn't enough lava in the world? The Lava Fabricator has your back:
20kMJ/Bucket.
There's also an Oil Fabricator for those of you who feel the urge to pollute as much as possible:
588kMJ/B (+12kMJ to refine it to fuel, which is worth 600kMJ/B). This thing is very slow due to the immense energy draw, so be patient.
Mob essence (and a ton of power) goes into an Auto-Enchanter:
Which will install a random enchantment onto whatever is inside of it (it uses the same algorithm the standard enchanting table does). It has its own GUI as well:
Allowing you to adjust the target level. Energy/Mob Essence cost to enchant is roughly (level^4) - low levels are cheap, 30 is gonna take a while.
The Auto-Enchanter can be used to take a second (and more) pass at enchanting items, but note that the cost goes up extremely fast relative to the number of enchantments already on the item!
As a new feature, you can "enchant" empty bottles and it will generate XP bottles. You can also drink mob essence with the straw to gain a level. If you want to get mob essence from your levels, use an XP extractor:
You can now go the other way around too, with an Auto-Disenchanter:
This machine has two input and two output slots. Enchanted items and books are placed in the inputs. When it completes, it will remove one enchantment at random from the item and install it on the book. The item will then be damaged - if this would destroy the tool, it will be lost.
Top/bottom are input, sides are output. If you're using an inventory management mod (like MFR) that understands 1.5's sided inventory system, you don't need to worry about the books and items getting mixed up, the machine will automatically filter them.
Finally, there's an Auto-Anvil too:
It acts much like a vanilla anvil, but it cannot rename items.
If you aren't happy with which mobs you have, you can use an Auto-Spawner instead:
It has a single slot which must be programmed with a safari net. However, whichever mob is in the net will be spawned. Spawning mobs requires mob essence and (a lot of) power.
The Auto-Spawner has an exact mode. When this is active, the mob contained in the safari net will be duplicated exactly, including things like villager trade data, sheep wool color, etc. However, inventory is not duplicated to prevent abuse. Exact mode requires more time, power, and essence.
Do you have too much cobble? Now you can put it in a Deep Storage Unit:
This thing holds up to two billion of whatever you put inside it. The GUI looks like this:
You can change which sides connect to the IN slots vs the OUT slots, as well as manipulate what it contains. It will attempt to keep a full stack of its stored items in the output slots, and if the item is stackable, will leave one in each of the two input slots so that it's automatically filtered when connected to pipes/tubes/whatever (two input slots so that a stack of 64 can fit in one go). In addition, if you break it, it will remember its contents.
There is a config option to enable a cheaper recipe, if the requirement of ender pearls seems too expensive for what it does.
MFR also has the autocrafter to end all autocrafters, the LiquiCrafter:
It has a crazy GUI that looks like this:
Here I am using it to make IC2 coolant cells. It works like the following:
Set recipe template at top left.
Place materials used in the two rows below the template.
Apply redstone pulse.
Remove produced item from output.
In addition, it can use liquid in internal tanks to satisfy recipes that call for a filled liquid container. Here I'm using its water tank to fulfill the water bucket requirement for 10k coolant cells, but it will also work with lava buckets, or water cells, or any other liquid container that has been properly registered with Forge.
It also understands damagable items - you can use it to mass-produce RP2 microblocks! You just need to put a saw in the resources section.
Sides are input (resources), top/bottom are output (output slot).
If you're still confused, I suggest you watch Wylker's 2.1 video above.
Do you have problems with multiple equivalent ores? Try the Unifier:
It has two slots, in (top) and out (bottom). It will attempt to turn anything in the top slot into the first Ore Dictionary entry for that item. For example, you can use this on a Mystcraft Dense Ores age to turn TE, IC2, RP2, Forestry, etc coppers into just one copper. You can tell it up to 9 items to prefer to unify to in the Preferences grid. It can also convert MFR biofuel and Forestry ethanol to each other.
If you need more ores, try the Laser Drill:
Which also needs a Laser Drill Precharger (or 4):
To use this, first, dig a hole to bedrock. Place the drill over the hole. Place 1-4 prechargers facing the drill but one block away from it. When you supply power to the prechargers, the main drill will begin mining and will produce ores out of its top face.
To get a pink slimeball, you need to kill a pink slime. You get pink slimes by placing a bucket of pink slime from the slaughterhouse in the world.
The Laser Drill also comes with Laser Focus items:
(one per color)
These bias the drill towards certain ores. For example, red makes redstone more likely. Which is which is up to the player to figure out.
Once you have your ores, try the Block Smasher:
This is an in-inventory processing system that will act like a Fortune pick on whatever is sent into it. You can configure the fortune level from 0-3. Levels 1 and above require mob essence to run.
Do you like potions? Try the Auto-Brewer:
Its GUI looks like this:
Set the slots under "Type" to the ingredients you want to add. Then place resources in the resources section and water bottles in the Potion slot. It will process row-by-row. The Auto-Brewer is sideless; any side can be used to extract completed potions or invalid ingredients and add new ingredients and water bottles.
Got too many saplings and seeds? Shove them into a BioReactor:
The GUI looks like this:
The top 9 slots are input, and the next row of 9 are the internal buffer. Each internal slot must have a distinct type of plant - anything the Planter understands is acceptable fuel. The more types of saplings and seeds (etc) you add, the more fuel it generates per item available, so it's preferable to have many kinds of things to put it in it. It generates BioFuel, which is sent to a BioFuel Generator:
Which produces BuildCraft energy. If you want IC2 or UE output, use Power Converters.
Is your factory not pretty enough? Try stained glass:
Makes both panes and blocks, and available in all 16 colors. Note that due to how minecraft's rendering works, water and ice behind stained glass will be invisible. I cannot fix this. Take this into account when building colorful glass walls in waterfalls.
New in 2.2, vanilla glass panes and MFR glass panes will connect to each other. This feature requires overwriting the vanilla glass pane block to work - if another mod does that for some reason, only one will work. If you disable the vanilla glass pane overwrite in the config, they will not connect.
Have you ever wanted to automate playing records? No? Well too bad, you get the Auto Jukebox anyway:
The GUI looks like this:
The top slot is accessible on all six sides by pipes (etc). If the top slot contains a record, a rising redstone edge will cause it to begin playing that record. If the top slot is empty, a rising redstone edge will cause it to stop playback.
The GUI has buttons for play (needs a record) and stop. It also has a record button. To use that, you put a record in the top slot and a blank record in the bottom slot. It will duplicate the record into the blank record.
You can make Blank Records like this:
Are you tired of your Ice Fortress Of Solitude melting because you wanted to see things? Try our new, unmelting ice:
This ice does not melt in the presence of light sources and will not create water sources when broken (but you still need silk touch to move it). Note that this requires overwriting the vanilla ice block to work - if another mod does that for some reason, only one will work. if you disable the vanilla ice overwrite in the config, unmelting ice will be unavailable.
Want to use ice to make your roads slippery but are tired of farming ice? Well, now there's actual roads:
These are slippery like ice but look more like, well, roads. If you want to light up your paths, consider road lights:
They will provide light when powered with redstone. If you'd prefer to not have to deal with redstone torches, grab an inverted road light:
Inverted lights can be turned back into normal ones the same way.
There's also a bunch of decorative brick types:
The glowstone bricks emit light.
There's also blackstone and whitestone (for white, replace the ink with sugar):
You can also craft mossy cobble now:
There's a Spyglass, for reading coordinates of blocks when doing complex builds:
A ruler, for reading distances:
And a Straw, which allows you to drink various liquids found in the world. Warning: drinking some liquids may be bad for your health.
And even Vine Scaffolding, to make building large structures easier:
Hold RMB to stack them on each other. Breaking the bottom one will collapse the entire scaffold.
This is MFR's new Redstone Network system. The most basic component is the RedNet cable:
When placed, it will connect to any block it thinks it should. As of this writing, this is any any vanilla block with redstone properties, and any mod block at all. It contains 16 "subnets" that are chosen by rightclicking on the little color band that appears on a connected face with a hammer. You can also use dyes to rotate directly to a color (without consuming the dye). In this way, you can have multiple subnets within the same block by, for example, placing 3 levers around a cable.
RedNet cable carries analog singal levels (with a -1 penalty at the entrance for redstone dust only). A signal strength of 8 at an input will be 8 at the output no matter how far away it is.
Note for server owners: due to the cable not having any visual updates and not linking to vanilla (inert) building materials, this form of cabling is vastly more CPU and network efficient than certain other forms of redstone cable.
Next up is the Programmable RedNet Controller. You first need a PRC Housing:
Which you can use as a decroative block, or further craft into the PRC itself:
I could write a ton of words about this thing. So I did. There's an in-game manual you should check out:
What this thing actually is is a collection of logic circuits. It comes with space for six. The (very complex, admittedly) GUI looks like this:
"Prev" and "Next" cycle between pages of circuits. "Reinitialize" (which requires two clicks to confirm) will de-program the PRC and eject all expansion cards it contains (see below). To set up a circuit, click on it. You will then get a set of buttons to connect the inputs and outputs of that circuit. These can be connected to I/O (RedNet cables on each face), variables, constants (input only) or null (outputs only). As an example:
This PRC is configured for a 1-second timer (square wave), which is output to the "white" subnet of the RedNet cable connected to its east face. It would be very difficult to list every circuit here - you'll have to wait until I can get a wiki deal going. In the meantime, the vast majority of them are standard EE components like JK flipflops. Note that, like the cable, the PRC is an analog device - you can add and subtract signal values. If a strange value enters a RedNet cable, it will be clamped between 0 and 15 when it reaches an output that doesn't know about the RedNet API.
Again, if you've read this and have no idea what I just said, read the in-game manual. It has pretty complete walkthroughs on how do some neat things with just one PRC and some cables and associated parts.
The PRC can accept up to six upgrade cards, which come in 3 flavors:
Each card grants additional circuit pages and additional variables.
There's also a PRC memory card:
When used on a PRC, this will copy its program. Using it on another PRC while it carries a program will install that program on the target PRC. The target must have at least as much space as the source did. To clear it, place it in a crafting grid by itself.
There's a RedNet meter, too:
This will measure all values in a RedNet cable, as well as read out the values of all variables in a PRC.
If you like graphs, try the RedNet Historian:
This is somewhat of a WIP, but I wanted to release what I had. Right now, it can display a graph of redstone power over time on any RedNet subnet (change with dye - it doesn't visually reflect the selected channel yet).
For the musically inclined, there is the RedNote:
A RedNet value from 0-120 will trigger a note. Vanilla note blocks have 5 sets of 24 notes (one set per each of 5 'instruments'); in RedNote they are all available in sequence. Every other redstone transition will cause it to play a note. For fun, try a sine wave.
These things were around before Railcraft, but every time I try to get rid of them people tell me I'm ruining Christmas, so they're still here. You can make them like so:
Passenger rails (lapis, blue) and cargo rails (chests, red) allow you to automatically load and unload people/cargo. Passenger rails grab anyone nearby and do their best to drop them in a safe location, and cargo rails interact with adjacent inventories.
Passenger rail effective radius can be controlled from the config file.

Banners
Show your love for MFR:
API
MFR has an API to allow you to add your own plants, animals, and other such things to its machines. Javadocs are provided for most everything, I think (if not, yell at me). The list of supported things you can do is:
Plants for plant farming
Mobs for the grinder
Sludge boiler outputs
Mobs for the rancher
Safari Net "egg color" providers
Random mob providers for the mystery safari net
Syringes
Liquid drinking handlers for the straw
"IDSU" to allow you to interface directly with the DSU's full capacity
RedNet connections and RedNet machines that can use all 16 subnets simultaneously
NATO_chrisjm, who did all the sprites minus the conveyor, which is the lone surviving asset from the original mod
CanVox, for the RedNet cable/PRC model
Shukaro, denoflions, GSValore, and others who have sent me pull requests that were accepted
All my betatesters including ldog, Brigadon, Emys, and Maiden.
Feanorith, for the original MineFactory
TehKrush/AtomicStryker/armed_troop, for maintaining it while powercrystals was gone (and doing the hard work of the 1.3/FML ports!)
The Forge team for Forge, Mojang for Minecraft, etc
Nether Ores
Ores in the Nether! Coal, diamond, gold, iron, lapis, redstone, tin, copper, emerald, silver, lead, uranium, and nikolite. Non-vanilla ores only spawn if a mod that uses them exists. All nether ores turn into their surface counterparts in a furnace - some (like redstone or coal) may need to be smacked with a pick or macerated to be made useful.
New in 2.x is the return of the not-bizarrely-bright texture, new ores, and way more config options! Now you can control how often nether ores spawn on a per-ore basis!
Added Platinum, Ferrous, Pig iron, Iridium, and Osmium ore
Added localization support
2.0.6:
Added "Ore" to the ores that didn't have it in their name
Added "min Y" option to oregen config
2.0.5
Now uses PC Core's access transformer to aggro pigmen directly instead of by hitting them for 0 damage, which looks less stupid
Standard furnace, IC2 macerator, TE pulverizer, and TE induction smelter all have separate toggles now
TE induction smelters yield 2 ore (and 3 with rich slag) per nether ore now.
2.0.4
Added support for TE pulverizer/induction smelter
2.0.3
Don't crash if IC2 is missing but macerating is enabled
Coal/diamonds macerate to their item form, not dust
2.0.2
Fixed ore detection for real
Added RP2 gems
New-ish textures (thanks NLZ!)
2.0.1
Always registers nether ores with ore dictionary
Macerating is back!
Ores no longer spawn if there's nothing to smelt/macerate them into. This can be overridden with a new "forceOreSpawn" config option.

Power Converters
I have not ported Power Converters, and may never do so because of the trouble of maintaining current with all of the various (ever-growing) power system APIs. Feel free to make your own port based on my port of PCC, however.

Other Stuff
Older builds
You can get older builds at the original thread
License (all mods)
Free for non-commercial use. You are free to include any of these mods in any modpacks or server-specific packs without needing to ask permission (but it'd be nice to hear if you do!), provided something either in the download or on your site lists me as the creator. You are also free to produce Bukkit ports. A link to this thread would be nice for any of the above, but that's all I ask.
You also have implied permission to build mods that depend on PowerCrystalsCore, if you want some of the functionality in there.
Source Code I have a GitHub account! Feel free to check out how my stuff is programmed for your curiosity or even your own use, or just follow to see when I post bugfixes so you can laugh at how bad I am at programming. You may not claim source code from here wholesale as your own; if you're in doubt, just ask me.
Beta Builds
I use a Jenkins system for builds. This means you can, if you want, use a pre-release build. These are not supported. Do not include betas in modpacks. Side effects may include:
Worlds not loading or even being corrupted
API breaking changes from beta to beta, or beta to release
Save format changes between betas
In short, don't trust anything. They're provided so you can get a preview of what's to come, or so I can link you to a beta if you find a nasty bug and I can't do a full release right now.
Betas are tagged as "#.#.#B#" and release candidates as "#.#.#RC#". RCs should be safe from world corruption or other major breaking changes but may still be buggy.
Contact
This thread mainly, obviously. Please do not PM me for support; I reserve the right to ignore any such PMs (stuff specific to one server, etc, that will never be relevant to another person is fine). And I can be found in #powercrystalsmods on EsperNet IRC if you're so inclined.
can i toggle the ores exploding and how the zombie pigman get angry when i mine any of the ores in a .txt file or something like that, i also cant open .class and .lang files

There is a config file for nether ores to change those settings.
Fixed with a full wipe of mods and configs.

Curse PremiumThis looks like one of the pipes in ABO is causing an infinite loop by inserting items into the DSU it refuses in the ISidedInventory interface.
This is a bug in carpenters' blocks.
thanks
MFR as of 255 is also not working with the new trees from ExtraTrees.
denoflions said: "I think the compat stuff just needed recompiled against a newer Forestry API. I've submitted it to skyboy."
Any chance of that happening?
It just stuck on the "Mojang" at the start until I close it because its not responding

Curse PremiumWithin the COFH folder of your Core mod, IItemConduit.class is out of date and causing other mods to collapse (EnderIO and TE when using EnderIO item conduits with Tesseracts). While I have patched my files and no longer suffer from my world crashing, it may be of benefit to update for future releases.
Just a thought. Thanks!
I just took some mods out and then it worked, but... when i took the mods out, I had 22 mods installed (that was what the game wrote) and then I put MFR,and then he wrote me "55 Mods Installed".
What the heck... but ok its working now.
Putting Peridot Ore from Project Red http://projectredwik.../wiki/Main_Page (Current release version) into the Block Smasher crashes the server 100% of the time.
Edit: all of the Project Red ores do this 100% of the time.

Curse PremiumI need the crash log.
This bug has been fixed for the next release.
I ask because, while the machines can accept IC2's power, their functions seem to be specifically made for Buildcraft. In particular, there's a few machines that need to have liquid pumped out of them, and from what I can tell, IC2 can't do that. Am I just missing something obvious, or is there really no way to use the machines without an additional mod?
The machines that produce liquids will automatically output to adjacent blocks that store liquid so, for example, you must place the sludge boiler right next to the harvester and it will output sludge to the sludge boiler. The same goes with the other fluid outputting blocks. It's not as convenient as pipes/tubes/ducts/etc, but It does work. I've only checked this with a few, but I know for certain it works with the harvester/sludge boiler, and the sewer/composter, I see no reason why it wouldn't work for other liquid producing MFR blocks.
Thanks for the info. Might be a little tricky to set up an autospawner, but it does answer my question.
Moving on, would it be feasible to introduce a block that functions like the OpenBlocks XP drain, to wit, siphons experience/mob essence steadily from a player standing on it / next to it? Possibly being able to disable it with a switch? Extracting XP bucket by bucket is not only tedious, but - thanks to the massive amount of XP needed for later levels - hugely inefficient, and using OpenBlocks into Bottles o' Enchanting and tossing them onto a sewer I'm pretty sure is very lossy as well.
There is a config file for nether ores to change those settings.
