    AE2 Stuff Machines Vanishing

    This bug is really start to test my patience. I have three advanced inscribers in my base and one keeps vanishing when I log out and log back in. The server is not rebooting during these Houdini acts. It is always the same machine the disappears, the other two have never acted up. Now my...

    Server running advice?

    Middleclaw handles the server admin duties but yeah, we upload new worlds via FTP as well as save world downloads.

    Server running advice?

    Make sure you request a Java 8 server. Some of their servers are still on Java 7 but 1.10 prefers 8. The hosting panel will confirm that your server is running 8.

    Server running advice?

    I hear you; I thought the same thing. @Middleclaw and I have been playing on this server for two years now. I think its been down a total of 20 hours or so. These guys are crushing it. Plus, what do you risk $7.50?

    Server running advice?

    If you want cheap but really darn good hosting for something like FTB Beyond 1.5.3 use Shockbyte. I'm paying $7.50/month and the server is handling Beyond just fine (8ms tick time). You really don't need that much RAM to host a server. https://shockbyte.com/minecraft I've got the cobble plan...

    Request Looking for people to play minecraft 18+

    I have a FTB Beyond server you can play on. There are two of us playing this world but at other times there are as many of four of us so still a pretty small server. The server is hosted in Toronto so you would probably get an ungodly ping. We are all older than you though not by a huge...

    Best Recommended Hardware Specs for Modded Minecraft?

    I run Lubuntu Linux 15.04 on my box which is impressively lightweight and adds $0 to the cost of the box. It boots before the monitor can turn on and sitting at the desktop only uses 268MB of RAM. I do force the OS onto one core and Java onto the other so the MC instance gets its own 4.0GHz...

    Best Recommended Hardware Specs for Modded Minecraft?

    Yeah I get that I'm odd in that I built a box that only plays modded MC. A beefier CPU doesn't have to add much cost to the rig that is for sure. Still it is nice that we don't need multi-thousand dollar machines to play modded MC. A big part of the reason for the case and part list I arrived...

    Best Recommended Hardware Specs for Modded Minecraft?

    The video card does indeed fit but assembly has to be done very carefully. It probably takes me an extra 3 minutes to build it because the vid card is a titch too long. The processor for a few reasons: 1) I was able to buy it for $49.99 at the MicroCenter in Cincinnati 2) You can overclock it...

    Best Recommended Hardware Specs for Modded Minecraft?

    https://pcpartpicker.com/user/ChemE/saved/HZFp99 I built this for $400 by getting pieces when they were deeply on sale. This runs all the 1.10 packs at 120+fps (I keep it throttled down to 120 b/c no point wasting electricity). As others have said, you can build a very cheap desktop which...

    [ReactorCraft] ReC Mechanics Thread

    Something like this would be an excellent change to ReC. On our server, we only use fission reactors in a specific RFTools dimension. This way if there is a meltdown, we can just trash that dimension instead of starting the whole world over. If someone broke ranks and had a meltdown in the...

    Now that AE2 has a 1.10 release, do people prefer it or Refined Storage?

    I definitely prefer AE2 and its channel mechanic to Refined Storage. For all of you who hate the in-world crystal mechanic, just add AE2 Stuff; problem solved.

    [ReactorCraft] ReC Mechanics Thread

    I'm showing up a bit late here but 1) Pyure is correct that throwing nuclear waste into lava does not destroy it but it does spread radioactivity 2) I have noticed in my own derping around that dropping nuclear waste onto a cactus does destroy it 3) Does anyone know how to trigger the "can do"...

    Whats the best power generator?

    Reika does have a penchant for punishing the careless or stupid. You are very correct that overfilling a coil will result in major and immediate base "renovations".

    Endgame Power Storage Solution?

    Another cool method of storing power at truly insane densities would be a DSU full of bedrockium drums of hot CO2 from ReactorCraft. Much like fish, you then have to convert the hot CO2 into energy with the appropriate setup but (2^31) * 65,536,000 mB of Hot CO2 running through a nicely...

    Whats the best power generator?

    It has been a few versions ago now, but I did test using a 100% full auroral battery to charge up an empty graphene battery. The amount of energy lost from the auroral battery dwarfed the energy deposited into the graphene battery. There is also the whole complication of toggling RS since...

    Whats the best power generator?

    I did think about it of course but we were trying to keep the pack as svelte as possible. Also I dislike the way power comes out of batteries and is largely wasted. For instance, pulling 4MW off an auroral battery really drains 268MW. 4MW goes on to become shaft work will the rest is wasted...
