Yes, it is quite helpful, thanks I think you have me on a good starting point. You needen't have gone quite as much into detail on how to craft stuff, I can pretty much look that kind of thing up on my own. Tthe recommendation to start with Industrial Craft 2 was very valuable.

Just a couple of questions if you or someone else doesn't mind. Should I stick mostly with IC2 items and machines at the beginning or are there other useful things I should be gathering, crafting and learning about. I know Buildcraft uses a system of pipes for energy and moving items around, but is that reasonably compatible with IC2? Can I power IC2 machines with engines or other power sources from other mods? At some point I'll probably want to move away from basic survival, any recommendations where to go when I get to that point?
