    Preferred wall / floor / ceiling thickness...

    4 times in a thread that I created ... It also helps if people actually read definitions while comprehending the importance of each word.

    Preferred wall / floor / ceiling thickness...

    I did, but you're ignoring the fact that: There's nothing rational about my compulsion to have walls, ceilings, and floors three blocks thick and I recognize this. The thing is, making them 3 thick alleviates an irrational anxiety that likely would not exist were it not for previous nether...

    Preferred wall / floor / ceiling thickness...

    Except, I don't do it for organizational purposes. Not having 3 thick walls, ceilings, and floors creates a sort of anxiety that is only alleviated by insuring that my pattern is done to completion. I feel obligated to do this even if I'm not running cables or pipes. It's more because there...

    Preferred wall / floor / ceiling thickness...

    What's yours? I believe that this game has brought my own OCD tendencies to light in a way that I'd never considered or acknowledged, or at least from the time that I last played with legos. After working in data centers and dealing with cabling, I'm now a devout adherent to the 3 block...

    Mod/Item/Stuff Ideas

    Flumecraft. A mod dedicated to transporting items through a flume system. It could also probably be used to create epic waterslides. :cool:

    Ultimate. Iridium Source?

    I'm currently using GT 2.79c with an unmodified config, but it would not surprise me if he changed it to require the canning machine in more recent versions .

    Ultimate. Iridium Source?

    I never meant to imply that he's not a sadist. :p I just appreciate the fact that he's found a use for the items I typically hoard but never use.

    Ultimate. Iridium Source?

    :cool: For all the hate he gets, Greg should be lauded for utilizing currently dead-end/WiP mats from other mods (i.e. tungsten / cinnabar) and giving them relevance.

    Ultimate. Iridium Source?

    It does using water, but it also yields 1 less Pt.

    Ultimate. Iridium Source?

    Also, use mercury cells in the industrial grinder when processing Sheldonite for increased yields (3 Pt, 1 Ni, & 2 Ir nuggets); since cinnabar is currently otherwise useless AFAIK. Mercury cells can be made in a crafting table with empty cells and quicksilver, or you can acquire them as a...

    Crystal Core

    I guess they're just a bit buggy/particular about whether or not they want to work, but this idea would at least save me from having to reconstruct the cores. Thanks for the suggestion. :cool: EDIT: I also figured out my problem in raising my node up from below ground. It should have been...

    Crystal Core

    I recently got around to acquiring a crystal core and set out to move / merge some of the nodes surrounding my base, but they seem ridiculously tempermental and the need to reconstruct the cores after breaking them is making this a major PiTA. Many times, it seems like I will set my totems...

    How do you get around your world?

    ^ This. I built a Nether library in the hollowed out support columns of a nether fortress with linking books to discovered villages in the overworld and other points of interest. For non-village locations, I build a standardized 4x4 "Myst annex" building in the overworld to house a single...

    Thaumcraft 3 Cheat Sheet (SPOILERS!)

    :D I was wondering wth that was coming from because I occasionally noticed a single unit of leftover corpus whose origin I could not explain. I had written it off as a weird bug, but now that you mention it, I'm sure that I accidentally burned myself while standing beside my crucible throwing...

    Your thoughts on the Technic Platform?

    I'm not saying it would be worse. I'm just saying that I'd rather not have to risk it by simply respecting its creator's basic requests because I really like it as it stands. If I felt that way, then I'd probably play a pre-made modpack instead of compiling my own. My life would be much easier...

    Your thoughts on the Technic Platform?

    It would have been if it weren't colored by the context of point #1. A lot of people seem to view mod devs work as nothing more than code. I feel that this is largely an unrealistic and unfair depiction. I may never have met Azanor irl, but I feel like Thaumcraft (and other similar large scale...

    Your thoughts on the Technic Platform?

    I referred to Entropy as a troll for the obvious flame bait / taunting post made in this thread; not because I have a different opinion, but nice try. Apparently, a mod felt that I was violating rule #1 of the forums by disrespecting this, obviously, respectful individual. So my post was...

    Your thoughts on the Technic Platform?

    Good work, mod. I'm not sorry for calling, Entropy, what it is. The sense of entitlement in this thread is completely disgusting and I would not blame any of the mod authors if they turned their back on the community with middle fingers held high. Hooray for legalistic pyrrhic victories and...

    How do you decide what to build next?

    I figure out the next godforsaken widget (or machine that's required to produce said widget) in GregTech. I'm now realizing that I'm going to have to start quarrying since i've only found one Iridium ore in a month of mining. Prior to now, I've avoided using quarries in both Tekkit and FTB...
