1. Extreme Timer Lag: I guess that's true, but I routed them all up to master timers, so changing according to needs isn't that hard. Without at least 1 Second, its hard to keep a really, efficient factory. I'll probably default it to that.

2/3 SMP Problems: Well, I designed this mainly for collaborative SMP on small servers, or SSP. Though usually Tekkit Classic Servers have Factions or something, and the re-wiring wouldn't work. Neither would the Jammer.

4. EU with Redstone: Huh. That's actually a good idea. Though, I was thinking of using RM Furnaces to minimize cost, though I want to be consistent.

But wouldn't using Redstone not work for things which consume more than the Redstone applies?

5. Great Idea. Except...

How would I do that? Automatic Crafting Tables always face up: so, I can't directly link them. I guess I could store the extra EMC to make more RM, but that's sorta what I did. Also, I wasn't going to include that in the tutorial. I just made it as an add-on option, in case someone wants to up the ante.

Thanks for the suggestions! I will work on #4 and #5 as soon as possible, and if you see anything else, that would be greatly appreciated. My usual timer setting is a standard 2 seconds, based purely on laziness of changing it. When I need it quick, I set it to 1 second. I never set to 0.2. The lowest I ever go to is 0.5.

Using Redstone and Overclockers together just comsumes more redstone every process. At 16 overclockers for a macerator, it should consume around 3 or 4 Redstone(didn't test thoroughly).

The only time I use IC2 processors is when compressing, or macerating. When I need a furnace, I go with RM or DM if RM is banned. Just remember to stop overflowing, use an Alchemical Chest adjacent to the chest so you get a lot less raw useless material. Filter that out back into the furnace, or incinerate it.

Use covers for directing specific Pneumatic Tube placement.

I took some screenshots of isolated fixes if you didn't understand me.

Zoom in if you can't read the signs.

Compact Filters/Automatic Craft Table Pic: I use this design for many of my factories and it generally always works out to be very compact, however it disables 1 of the 4/5 inputs. If that happens I can just spread it out 1 block and it still works. Covers are valuable for making a factory.

Wireless Redstone Pic: Please notice that the timer is not emitting a signal, yet the lamp is still on due to the jammer signal. It may not even be a Jammer signal, it could be another person that didn't notice that the port was preoccupied and applied their own signal.

Edit: I tested the macerator, and it takes 4-5 Redstone per process with 16 overclockers applied. Thanks Simplest! Unfortunately, I can't see your pictures. I am trapped in the Great Firewall of China (my English is still legible. Yay!). Um, I'll switch over to RM Furnaces right away as well. I tested though, and the Macerator can't consume the dust fast enough to Macerate stuff: the Overclockers consume way too much. I'll probably roll back on the Overclockers.

I'm still worried about the Timers. A friend's private server didn't take extreme lag when I built it there, but I ain't so sure about super-big servers, though I never really meant it for that anyways.

I'll get on the RM Furnaces, as well as the Macerators.

Thanks!
