    Sorry for the lack of updates lately, I've been sort of stuck in a slump wherein I don't really have any ideas. Plus scowering the Nether for ash clouds to equally-trade with cobble is proving a very mundane task. If I were to guess my next move, it would probably be along the lines of...

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    I have about 5 thousand or so more carpenters blocks on my build and I really don't worry that they are the cause of the lag, I did extensive research into carpenters blocks and even ran a few FPS experiments--I tend to blame the size of the world and the sheer amount of mods attempting to load...

    I've been starting to deal with the same problems-lag, that is. I'm nowhere near thinking of starting over, but I have been considering upgrading my computer's RAM... a lot...

    Update 2: The Botania floor is coming along nicely! The little redstone circuit below controls the Golem Fetter (which I finally found a use for). The Orange Ender Chest because of this wonderful little temporary tree farm.(seen below) The comparators extend the pulse released by the magic...

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    My personal take on the issue is that form and function are two sides of the same coin. I, like @epidemia78, cannot stand an incomplete project. It's why I refrained from posting my base for so long because it was just so unfinished and to be honest, kinda annoying. Then again, when I was way...

    Near the upper sections of the tower the FPS isn't so bad. I think my computer is simply having trouble with the sheer amount of stuff there is going on within the castle interior. That's a LOT of particle effects going on just passively. I've taken a look at Technomancy before, but it seems a...

    Too be fair, how else could the tyrannical tower of a Void Thaumaturge such as myself look like? But really, in all honesty I was very influenced by the Orthanc. Tear down the forests, burn the Ents, build an army of golems. All of it gave off very Isengard-y vibes and my dark-gothic theme...

    Thank you! I believe it was a chiseled variant of Dark Oak planks.

    Update 1: Today I've completed the top of the Thaumcraft themed tower, well within the cloud layer. I quite like equidistant and symmetrical floating primal crystals. The most important thing about this is that I can now preform my infusions safely in my home base, rather than running all the...

    I love how so many beasts around here have made a name for themselves by sharing their creations in a journal type format, and I have written journals in default minecraft before, so why not do the same? I give all credit to @epidemia78 for the idea to do one, but I just feel like sharing my...

    Request Vazkii: Can we have firework Entropinnyums?

    The suspense. It's killing me. I'm dying.

    Request Vazkii: Can we have firework Entropinnyums?

    I had exactly 4 minutes of pure hype, then faster than you can say "I like trains" the hype train had derailed and devastated the mental countryside. Here I was thinking that Vazkii had picked up my idea and was gonna run with it... I had sent a twitter message with a link to the forum post I...
