    Tinker's Contruct Info

    There actually is a wiki: http://tinkers-construct.wikia.com/wiki/Tinkers'_Construct_Wiki Unfortunately, it doesn't contain much which isn't in the books, but it's still handy if you don't like paging through the in-game guides.

    Gorgeous! I might have to, um, "emulate" your design.

    Why isn't Factorization compared to TE or IC2?

    Wow, really? I'll have to try the furnace heater trick next time I start a new world. Didn't know I could power the turbine with a boiler, either.

    Why isn't Factorization compared to TE or IC2?

    Can you elaborate some here, especially on points 3-6? Like a lot of people, I used the barrel/router system a lot before AE was out. Since then, I'm afraid my use of Factorization has been limited to wrath lamps and the pocket crafting table. It would be cool to hear more about how it can be...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I was listening to the radio at the time, so I had the sound turned all the way down. Didn't hear a thing. Damn thing scared me half to death when I looked up and saw it. And that was after I almost got Jill Sandwiched by a piston trap. Note to self: Dimensional Door dungeons are scary.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    What is that terrifying eye you sometimes see in pocket dimensions from dimensional doors? I was poking around in a test world and found a naturally spawned dimensional door. Inside was a maze of doors. At some point I noticed a weird particle effect and looked up, and there was a GIANT EYE...

    Yes please! MFR Rednet is awesome, but not particularly intuitive.

    I think that's the niftiest and most compact configurable elevator I've seen thus far. ^^

    Nether too hostile now?

    The Nether has always been crap for a combat-averse builder. Used to be it was devoid of anything interesting once you snagged your netherwort and some soul sand. Now it's full of cool stuff, but is chock full of hostile denizens. Yuck. I went with a modernist style of architecture in my...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    The particle effect is less annoying then getting shot in the butt by a skeleton who's been lurking in my stairwell. I'm looking forward to carpets in 1.6, since they stop mob spawning. Lighting a large room properly (aka no torches on the floor) has always been a colossal pain. I've already...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Simple question: Is there any reason why I can't light my entire base using the gaseous glowstone from thaumic tinkerer? That stuff is a godsend, and I tend to fling it everywhere. I'm only asking because I used to spam wrath lamps until someone said something about invisible light blocks that...

    Bigest oil gyser you have Seen/used

    The geyser was actually a good bit taller than this when I first found it- I eventually moved the pump down a bit to take a prettier picture. Sadly, it seems I didn't keep the shots of the geyser at full height. It looked particularly imposing by virtue of being embedded in a redrock hill.

    About difficulty/tedium and the terms we use (GT and similar)

    I want to highlight this part of your post because I think it accurately articulates the crux of the problem. I'm the opposite kind of player. For me, modded MC is all about developing tech to aesthetically build more efficiently in survival mode. This is why EE2 was my favorite mod. (Before...

    The Future of FTB Modpacks.

    Guys... are we really still talking about this? Wasn't this more than a year ago? Didn't everyone hug and make up? Aren't all the interested parties friends again? Will we never lay the infamous Bee Incident to rest? (Not targeting you specifically Stephen, you were just the last one to...
