Did not know about /findbiome, that is a useful tool. I'd covered several areas of the size you were talking about, mostly while hooking up my pylon network and trying to find luminous cliffs as well as luma lotus. I'll say this, my world seed really seems to like rainbow forests and extreme...

Hmm, interesting problem. I have a scrambled name for the purplish dust that is in all of the energized core recipes. On the progress tab I have available to do refractory gems (guessing this was supposed to trigger from mining lumenite, based on the lumenite description?), glowing towers...

Sent. Like I said in the PM, I'd argue that it's a bit of clever generator design rather than a bug since all the parts are doing exactly what they are supposed to in the way they are supposed to, and it's the particular configuration that leads to an unexpectedly useful result.

So I was playing around with Reika's mods in creative the other day making sure nothing in my updated private server pack was going to break in an obvious and horrific way and I devised a way to generate a fair amount of Reactorcraft steam without needing any kind of fuel, and to do so in a...

Huh, he must have changed that since the last time I tried. Which was March (so v11). Never saw anything in the changelog that would suggest it was changed, so never tried again. I actually mentioned it on page 91, in the same post I mentioned the recipes I was aware of for the brand new...

I don't recall offhand, but odds are the composter is technically a tile entity and the heat lamp won't attach. If you were to somehow make it attach, it still wouldn't work. Same reason you can't use them to run steam engines. It's actually my biggest complaint with the heat lamp -- many...

FTB forums haven't been letting me log in for a few days, so I couldn't answer until now but here's what I've worked out on this: A fake player using a bedrock pickaxe can in fact harvest spawners, and doing so does generate the mobs created when a real player does the same. I rigged up a mob...

The using a fake player with a bedrock pick, a spawner, and some method of placing blocks to bulk spawn mobs, or setting a spawner to an Outer Lands boss thing? Didn't get around to trying either last night, won't have another chance until Sunday night (spending weekend with gf). I do know...

I just had a naughty thought after you mentioned the XP farm. I think I'm going to test it in creative tonight. Going to build a typical openblocks/extrautils mob farm room with fans, spikes, and a vacuum hopper. Instead of cursed earth, put two dynamism tablets inside, both facing the same...

Along those lines, might I suggest an upgraded form for the heat lamp (recipe of say, the heat lamp and some appropriate color lumens in the casting table) that is a full block and gets treated as heating/cooling towards the set temperature to surrounding things s though it were...

I find it odd that heat lamps cannot heat/cool some Rotarycraft blocks that require temperatures in ranges that the heat lamp can reach. For example, a steam engine cannot be run using a heat lamp. Speaking of experimentation, anyone found any other coalescence lotus recipes? I've only come...

Yes, it does. Another of those things where you either have to guess it or see someone else doing it to find out, since it's not documented anywhere. Making Chromastone wand caps for thaumcraft takes about a full reservoir of Chroma, as well. Also the coalescence lotus can pull from...

I found you can make crystalline stone with it using Chroma and Lava. Takes ~1/4 bucket of chroma and 1/2 bucket of lava per crystalline stone. Given how cheap it is to make manually, that might be a bit pricey. I feel this way about a lot of the mod before you stumble into how it's actually...

Oooh. Will they pull from mirrors? I currently use an essentia aggregator (linked to a room full of aspect formers, one set to every aspect -- I basically have infinite essentia until I drain out my lumen tree and pylons) and a bunch of mirrors and essentia pumps going wherever it's needed...

Minor annoyance: EssentialCraft3 has an item that let's you gather spawners (you r-click the spawner and pay some MRU and get the spawner) -- these spawners don't work in the Spawner Controller. Not sure if it's something EC3 does to the spawners or something with ChC, not sure if it'd be...

On the Aura Locus, so far I'm up to it zapping mobs, over a large area and through walls and accelerating crop growth. Since it has a habit of killing other players if they look at me sideways, even with PvP disabled, and not forgetting them should they come back I've not been playing with it...

It really is entirely about realizing that nothing in the mod is just randomly chosen, that there are reoccurring patterns throughout, and how to apply the pattern in another way. A couple pages back when I couldn't find it, Reika said there was a pattern to the structures in the dimension, and...

Hmm, some questions and comments regarding the patch notes (plan on updating server and modpack tonight for my private server): The big one, when I upgrade, will it retrogen? Will it retrogen the added resources automatically, or do I have to activate retrogen somehow? How significant is the...

That's the one thing I could agree with you about the Chroma dimension -- those dungeons are really, really far apart. Maybe a bit excessively so. I kept leaving and returning until ones I needed were in the center circle of the sonar, and thus only maybe a kilometer or two out. I will say to...

A more technical question: You've made very clear and placed dire warnings around "DO. NOT. MOVE. THE. PYLONS", having suggested that doing so would corrupt Chromaticraft and possibly Thaumcraft as well (something about the pylons being linked to Thaumcraft somehow). The thing is that it's...
