As with many things, early and often is the best rule. If you have a way to collect 500 levels, I hardly think storing it will be a pressing concern. If you do decide to try, maybe try a 2x2 grid of drains and stand in the center, much like using a hopper minecart to divide drops into four...

Just finished looking back through this thread. Still amazed at your work. Been a while since we've heard from you. Still building amazing things?

A quick thank you to this thread for introducing me to TekTopia. This is the fruit of my lurking. I'll go back to being the Mad Mayor now...

I'd have to agree with that first part - we are in a stage of transition from 1.12 to... I don't know, maybe 1.15 or 1.16. But I'm not sure I want to wait that long for a new plateau. If 1.14 was a good stepping stone (a la 1.6->1.7) I'd be happy. It would give some mods I like a chance to...

I'm not usually into the quest style packs that completely alter the mechanics I'm used to, as I personally prefer a sandbox in most cases. That said, I had a ton of fun playing Regrowth, as I felt that quest book provided clear objectives while explaining any mechanics that were changed...

Anyone know offhand if TekTopia miners recognize/harvest mod ores (particularly COFH suite)?

Finally built my new system after my old Frankenputer decided to melt itself into slag. Now to figure out what's happened since I've been away. Been tinkering with a 1.12 pack to get back into the swing, but I've been considering 1.14. So questions: 1) How stable are things in 1.14? 2) Does...

I had gathered much of the same info, but without any sort of timeline. Don't suppose you have a source on that? No expecting you to, mind you, but never hurts to ask. I was curious where things stood, since in my absence the Vanilla game has once again moved forward (Aquatic Update 1&2), and...

While I don't disagree about the smallness of the chance of it happening, if it were to happen, I can see the modding community taking to it (assuming of course the API isn't a complete waste of everyone's time, which is surprisingly a big ask). The upgrade under the hood is enough to make...

The gains in performance were the key point in our discussion. The additional new content within Vanilla (there have been a number of additions and improvements since I last played unmodded) were a nice bonus. After all, a solid Vanilla base provides a wonderful foundation for the rest to...

Been out of the loop for a while due to life being life. A friend is trying to drag me back into MC, and we briefly discussed using the Win10 version. Question is, what is the state of modding for the Win10? I'm ok with checking out Vanilla for a bit, but I feel like there's too much modded...

Oh, maybe it is. I haven't played without either in quite a while. I just assumed it was part of JEI, but you could very well be right.

If you know the contents, you can do a JEI search, then use T to search for it within inventories nearby. The Storage Scanner is better if available, but finding things early game or in a friend's base can be made much easier.

I'm partial to using Chisel and Bits. You can hide glowstone bits, or even lava, inside of blocks to make them glow. You can configure the mod to allow light from a single bit, but usually it takes a full layer (16x16, or 256 worth) to emit light.

I always used Retrievers for this sort of thing. A single pipe on the inventory in question, then a whitelisted Retriever (cobblestone) on the compression system, with another, blacklisted Retriever (cobblestone) on the other storage. This allows one Retriever to pull all the half stacks of...
