    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    yes, you can use vanilla comparators if you're in one of the newer versions of horizons. Jaded has hinted at a very compact mod-only solution, but the best I could do was a 2 comparators, with one backed against the energy cell, and one backed against a furnace (with 2 full stacks of stone in...

    Wisps out of nowhere and other TC questions

    I ran out and looked around. My server-mate had completely missed a sinister node and a very obvious eerie biome right next to his farms. Thanks folks.

    Wisps out of nowhere and other TC questions

    I don't know what witchery can and cannot do. I haven't looked into it.

    Wisps out of nowhere and other TC questions

    Posting this for a server-buddy who doesn't forum much, so the particulars are likely to be wrong...you know how that word of mouth thing goes. He has not started Thaumcraft and does not have any obsidian totems in his area (and thus shouldn't have any eerie biomes) and does not have an...

    Machine Request: Clay Maker

    Someone actually did :) But unless you cheat in a book, there's still quite a bit of RNG involved in that.

    Machine Request: Clay Maker

    I was going to suggest Mekanism at one point, but didn't want to fanboi all over the thread. :)

    Machine Request: Clay Maker

    Is there something inherently wrong with wanting to keep, say, a barrel full of every color hardened clay? It's a fantastic building material. 5k clay would be...78, ish, of every color hardened clay? 100k clay would be ~1500. I think that the value of 100k over 5k should be obvious from a...

    Machine Request: Clay Maker

    Clay item. But you have to be running a good chunk of the MFR processing chain and it's random. You can get quite the variety of stuff from it. It is a good and valid answer, but not large-scale, short-term (I think that's what the request is about).

    Machine Request: Clay Maker

    The problem here is that clay has never been difficult to get. It's merely a grind that involves a lot of torches underwater (or doors) and manually crafting clay into blocks. RedBoss' point is that vanilla mechanics have now moved into an area where clay (which was pretty much worthless) now...

    How do I learn?

    Not sure. Last I heard, taint was like a terminator. It doesn't know pain or pity or remorse. It will just keep coming until it ruins everything. ;)

    How do I learn?

    Move, quickly and with post haste. Your chances of being able to detaint the island are pretty slim at this point.

    How do I learn?

    @Padfoote has a link in his post as an intro to bees. You will need to make one or more scoops and walk around whacking the beehives you find. Collect the bees. Make some bee houses. Breed the bees a few times to get extras and some honeycombs. Your next step will be apiaries (and right now...

    How do I learn?

    Bees basically give a means to generate unlimited amounts of every resource with a -significant- time and labor investment. They're .. a lot to go into in a single post. :)

    How do I learn?

    Each person learns differently. Since you're playing the DW20 pack, you could do worse than watching his youtube LP series. He does a fairly decent job of explaining what he's doing as if he was speaking with someone who knows little to nothing about the mods in question. Coming into mods for...

    What exactly is offensive about being told to play in creative mode?

    I apologize for butting in, but..no, I don't think we can. What can be admitted by honest individuals is that there is a point where there the sense of accomplishment involved in gathering materials is overridden or overwhelmed by other factors (such as a sense of frustration, boredom...

    Starbound

    My wife and I are having quite a bit of fun playing Starbound. I think that there are some balance issues with ranged weapons, but it's still an awesomely fun game
