    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    My current Infinity base power is derived from witches via Blood Magic (not a strict mob-grinder, but the witches could be replaced by a patch of cursed earth I suppose). I have about 12 witches under a Well of Suffering feeding a T5 altar. Three lava crystals bound to my LP network are...

    Direwolf20 turbine code

    It means that the peripheral.find("BigReactors-Reactor") didn't find the reactor.

    FTB Infinity 1.7.10 Help, Venting and Discussion Thread

    Great work! An alternative for emeralds (although not an early game one) is Blood Magic's Mark of the Falling Tower ritual. Got a stack and a half of emeralds from that and my fortune III Bound Pickaxe.

    FTB Infinity Question

    Dig a moderately long two-high, one-wide tunnel at bedrock, assemble wither at the end, dump bucket of water on it before the initial explosion, run back out of the blast radius. Once it's formed charge forward, stay in the tunnel, strike it a few times, and run back. Do this a couple of times...

    UNLIMITED POWER!!! Well... now what?

    Bah, you don't need to do that at all. One computer plopped down so that it's touching the Reactor Computer Port, do a "peripheral.wrap" on the side of the computer that's touching the Computer Port and program away using the Big Reactor Lua methods...

    For your consideration, the following may be relatively unique to Mek: Robit Walkie-talkies Portable Teleporters MekaCape Maybe cardboard box?

    Happy 4th of July from Forestry

    Thank you for appreciating the humor in my deliberately parochial joke. To your point: I don't think I've ever seen both North and South America referred to as simply "America" normally they're collectively referred to as "the Americas."

    Agrarian Skys help, venting, and discussion thread

    It's been said before, but skip the spores and use the sludge boiler (that you have to make anyway for a quest) to produce mycelium.

    What's the point of RotaryCraft?

    I'm just having some fun :) However, learning to program the PDP-11 and the 8085 via hand-assembly was (IMO) really good training in how to be careful with resources and to be mindful of exactly what the machine is doing. Obviously the complex systems we have today couldn't practically be...

    What's the point of RotaryCraft?

    External magnetic storage?! Ain't nobody got time for that! Paper punch tape on the ASR-33 Teletype. Learned assembly (hand-coded, in octal please) on a PDP-11 with 4k (I think) core memory. Are you still on my lawn? :D

    What's the point of RotaryCraft?

    As your elder, I invite you to remove yourself from my lawn. My first computer experience was on one of these: 10 PRINT "WHD23 IS AWESOME!!!! "; 20 GOTO 10
