Cool tricks I found

I'll put up pictures later of these as right now I am away from my computer.
Traveling from y=0 to y= -300 in a few seconds with no mods other than default:
By digging straight down with a 2X1 pattern I fill one side by placing ladders and the other I leave empty until I reach a level I want to reach and then I place a water source block and a torch underneath. This allows you to travel to a certain level but still fairly quickly. Since torches are not walkable, you won't be damaged and the water will stop you. I haven't come up with a good way for going up other than ladders.
Sapling Generator:
Requires Technic and Mesecons
Place a MK Constructor and a Node Breaker both facing each other with one block in between, harvest some leaves from the surrounding trees, craft some Blinking Plants from the Mesecons mod, add the leaves to the Constructor, and finally place one Blinking Plant next to the Constructor and Node Breaker. Now you have a sapling generator. I would suggest not activating this on a server as it is fairly slow. I haven't that but I imagine it would. Also, make sure to place the plant next to the constructor first so that way it places the leaves before the Node Breaker activates.
Automatic Harvester:
Requires Technic, Mesecons, and Farming
A lot like the sapling generator but it requires a lot more node breakers. Build a crop in a straight line with water along the side. Then place the Node Breakers on top of the water with mesecon laid on top of the Breakers. Finally, add a button on the end of the mesecon line and now you can harvest a whole line of crops instantly.
