Power Converters (EPIC FAIL)

So I was trying to sort out some interaction between build buildcraft and industrial craft with the use of the crystal power converter mod. turns out my attempt was an epic fail.

I am not sure if it is because I was lazy and installed the technic pack to get all the addons I wanted. I am going to start fresh with a new install just the addons I want which is primarly just buildcraft, industrial craft and red power.

I might skip mo creatures as the rats have been pestering me lots. if there are any other addons that you feel would be good then let me know.

I dont want to use too many items though as I find getting items that way is too easy and tempting.

Welcome to my Minecraft blog.

Welcome and hello to you.

I am Neoublie, I am a 34 year old gamer and computer programmer. I have been involved in computers since I assembled my first IBM 8086 XT personal computer.
I have been using computers ever since. I have fond memories of my overclocked i486dx 4-100 kicking my friends pentiums in performance while playing doom and duke nukem multiplayer in our coaxual network, only when we didn't loose the cable terminators :D
Wow showing my age a little huh.
These days I have been mostly involved with World of warcraft and have been playing that since vanilla. how ever with a new addition to the family I have taken a break from that and I am leaving my guild in the hands on one of my best friends Mark.
In the absence of wow to play I have been spending a lot of time playing Minecraft (what is it about the addictiveness of games ending in the word craft).
I have two accounts what I own so that my oldest daughter and I can play.
I have a passion for the buildcraft and industrial craft mods as it adds a level of complexity that keeps my problem solving mind entertained with new stuctures and factories.
So leading to this I have decided I would try and start writing about my endevours in minecraft. although I can't really start until buildcraft and industrialcraft are ready for 1.0.0 - after which I will start my path into maybe a lets play or something. I know my daughter is really keen on doing her own version of groups like the yogscast or the excommunicated guys.
to start with I am going to do plan out some things to build and then build them for a world in 1.8.1 the IC2 and BC. then when I can migrate to the 1.0.0 ic2 and bc I will start a new world with my daughter as a guest star in some youtube videos as I give a tour and then start recording my builds.
I look forward to showing you my work and also showing off the skins my daughter is making as she has taken an interest in that.
Please feel free to follow this blog and showing your support how you can, be it adverts or paypal donations. any donations will go towards getting better software for video recording and getting my world into a server that can allow people to join.
So look forward to getting to know you,
The one and only
