I just wish I had a choice in the matter. While I like Macintosh OS better, I continually run in to two problems with Macs: #1: Compatibility is still a pain, as most games are developed for Microsoft, both in hardware and software. #2: Macs aren't upgradable by design, meaning that while I...

That is my greatest fear on the matter. Microsoft isn't a person, or even a "people" at this point. It is a gigantic, bureaucratic, economic force of nature that is powered by the sweat of Indians and the tears of Chinese children. And as such a monster, the decisions it makes aren't...

If you have forbidden magic (thaumcraft add on), there's an enchantment that exponentially increases the amount of XP you can get. Its called Educational, and though it may be hard to get on a weapon (Easiest way is through the Osmotic Enchanter from Thaumic Tinkerer), a Sword of the Zephyr...

I lost a few legions of thaumcraft golems before I discovered that Ars Magica 2 Dark Mages will kill them on sight...

That is one of the unfortunate parts about this thread. Whether it is just from updates, or people not playing the mod, I can't trust much of the spells in this thread. We might have to specify which version of AM2 when we list spells.

I wouldn't call it OP at all. The thing with a time torch is that it just speeds things up, and does nothing else. This means that you can achieve the exact same effects of a time torch by increasing the number of bees, or the number of planted crops, or the number of quarries running...

To be fair, I'm not sure those two camps are the exact same people. The malcontent are a louder community in general, so any media site will constantly be flooded with complaints. When devs change something, the loudspeaker changes hands to the new unhappy party, and community satisfaction...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned tainted villagers yet.

Personally I think thread necromancy is shown on a bad light too much. Last I checked, power generation is still something relevant today. Don't see much of a point in making a new thread to ask the exact same question. Anyway, I'm not well versed in reactor craft, but if you want immense...

You know, there is a mod out there that replicates redstone frames and then some. It is called Redstone in Motion. Though I'm surprised it isn't already in the pack...

On server: I made a hanging acorn house that looked kind of like a drooping flower over a cliff. Anyway, I made the branch that went over the cliff before making the actual house, and before I made the acorn a server admin warped to the area, ran full speed up the winding staircase of the...

You could always build an engine controller, which will let you turn the engine on/off either manually or with redstone signal. Anyway, it isn't mentioned often, but leaves produce a lot of ethanol crystals. If you have some mechanism for shearing leaves or even just do it manually, you'll be...

Wouldn't a futuristic hi-tech mod just be a magic mod that's been re-skinned with chrome and lasers?

Last I had checked, the diamond gearboxes and CVTs don't consume the lube that they need to function. Once you get that first bit of lube, you can use it on diamond gears to convert power from steam engines into something that works on the grinder, so you'll only need 1 steam engine per...

Back when I was on servers... I used to visit other bases all the time. I have never been on a server that had a nether network or a train system. Most players would build far away in order to stay more well hidden, since the more well hidden you are, the less likely you are to be griefed by...
