You should put metal spires with blinking red lights, like they have on most tall buildings for lightning conductance and collision avoidance. Sure, doesn't *do* much in Minecraft but still looks neat, especially at night.

Because it affects peoples' outlook of you. If you're not going to put in the effort to try to type correctly and proofread what you type, people are going to notice and thus have a negative opinion of you and be less likely to help or to listen to what you have to say, and your point will not...

Typically I start with a basic base and try to get some machines working. Then I migrate and make creating a laser drill priority. Then I start working on power armor, then improved base power, and from then on I just start playing with different mods to see what they do. Of course, during this...

Sandboxes are more or less about creating your own goals. This can really be anything you want - build a fusion reactor, breed one of every bee/tree/butterfly species, build some specific kind of structure, automate everything with maximum efficiency, make an impenetrable base for pvp, learn a...

Why not just...add fences/railing/walls...? Or engaging your jetpack *before* going over the edge to ensure it works?

This is why I refuse to use MCPC any more...I used to back with unleashed and it caused all sorts of strange issues. Now I just chunkload the heck out of everything; my friend found out the hard way when her breeder went kerblooie. Good thing we built it under the surface of the ocean, helped...

For my server I've done the following to reduce lag while maintaining stability: -Get an actual colocated machine -Use mineOS (in a VM, so if something goes horribly wrong the whole machine doesn't go down) -Edit FTB configs to change chunk unloading time (by default Monster is set to never...

Is this only for building them or for functionality? I do require your pipes for them to form the multiblock, but if I then break those pipes and replace them (BC pipes in my case) the multiblock remains intact so I thought it would work. I haven't had a chance to fire it up yet, though, so now...

Yeah I'm suspicious of the 16KW claim, myself. I have Steam engines powering mine but the colors are so faint it makes me nervous what'll happen when I finally start it up. >Dat spiral pattern Looks pretty cool, except for the whole "this isn't supposed to happen" part.:D

Since you specifically only excluded MFR lasers, use an MFR planter+harvester+sludge boiler. You don't even need to actually use whatever it harvests, you just want to generate large quantities of sludge since the sludge boiler will create a set of random items from it - one of those being soul...

Would it be feasible to do something like intake towers such as they have at dams, the tower detects its height at base (to avoid dropping it in the ocean) and how much water is within touchable range (like the pump currently does) and determines if there's enough? Then use liquid pipes to a...

I'm really impressed at the aesthetics of your design, love the Auroral battery "multiblock" you created. Out of curiosity, what kind of block are you using for all of the walls/floors?

OK I've discovered something very odd with ElC: That aside, I did discover that if you have two induction generators, each forms a separate path through the resistor. If you set the resistor to the expected combined current, all the current goes through. If you half the resistor, you get the...

I don't think they really mimic real-life resistors in that regard, I'll play with them tonight and see what I come up with. Out of curiosity, what input/output values were you trying to achieve?

That's what I plan to do with mine now that I've figured out some of ElC's lesser-known mechanics. If I knew how to make videos I could try to make a tutorial this weekend, hmm. I'm also really curious about the plasma generation/consumption rates, myself. Consumption-wise, looking at the code...

So after some experimentation, I've discovered something that may be a bug, but not sure if it's fixed in later versions, so want to ask if anyone on the newest version could test this for me. if I have two turbines, and combine the output via a shaft junction, then connect an induction...

Since you're on the same version I am, a couple warnings should you go Electricraft: -Don't hook a resistor directly to an induction motor or you may suffer massive TPS drop. -If you plan to use your turbine as input, find a way to stabilize the output before the induction generator or TPS will...

Awesome! Glad to hear. :D I hadn't tried it myself (remembered about it *after* I'd filled with buckets...oops) so glad it ended up working.

Have you tried using the Buildcraft flood gate? It fills everything below and at its level.

Thank you, I wasn't sure since I didn't have the game open to check. What do you mean by item filters specifically? I get the feeling there's some functionality I may have missed out on.
