    What does YOUR Power Room look like?

    4 stills?! Nice. I'm still trying to get the ratios for an automated forestry setup. I was experimenting some more today in creative while I wait for the rest of my mods to update to 1.4.6. Went with 2 treefarms (1 oak, 1 rubber) , 2 bogs, 1 wheat farm, 1 mushroom. 2 fermenters, 3 stills, 2...

    Does the logger not cut down rubber trees

    Yeah the documentation for them (and really BC3 in general) is horrible...everyone loves to hate on Techit but there is a lot of good info on their wiki (sitting through 40 minute videos by some nasal prepubescent teen playing crappy music in the background isnt something I have time for)...

    Obsidian Pressure Plates

    People complaining about a mod only adding 1 item? Seriously wtf! Some of the most important mods to me only do 1 thing. I use these EVERYWHERE! Creeper not blowing up your house because you forgot to close the door behind you? Priceless! This is the ultimate convenience mod.

    Does the logger not cut down rubber trees

    Oh hell, I guess I should read up on changelogs once in a while. I have been less than thrilled with the way the gates work and so I tend to neglect using them. I didnt know there were special triggers for Forestry. When did that happen? I'll have to give them a go since Forestry and Logistics...

    Does the logger not cut down rubber trees

    The treetap is old actually, but still buildable (as opposed to the rubber plantation & farm which have been deprecated). I am not sure if it works or not since cutting down a rubber tree still gives you some resin. It seems like I get far less resin than I did in 1.2.5 I know everyone has...

    What does YOUR Power Room look like?

    I'm still trying to find an "optimal" automated design. Even with the recent changes to the solid fueled fireboxes a single turbary and logger (turning all the wood into charcoal) can ALMOST keep a 36HP boiler running after the temperature has been maxed (which takes about 4 hours and a lot of...

    Creosote Oil??

    The coke oven is the only way. The liquid transposer doesnt actually make liquids, it lets you move them in or out of containers and make redstone energy devices. You need to build a coke oven and then load it full of coal or wood and then wait forever and a day. See the Railcraft wiki for more...

    Getting started with Feed the beast

    Correction. It isn't my opinion, it's the title of the thread "Getting started with Feed the Beast", and I am not talking about "a guide" I am talking about "this guide". Reading is fundamental. Don't mix them up. The rest of your post and the complete content of everything lindyhopfan has...

    Getting started with Feed the beast

    Your argument is completely pointless. Whether you are going to learn to write your own CC programs or not, the turtle costs a lot less resources to build and operate so it is most certainly quicker. Even if you dont want to use someone elese programs just type "excavate 9" and you've got the...

    Getting started with Feed the beast

    Nice guide. I have some tips to add. Sorry that I tend to ramble on at length. Mining turtle over quarry. That is where my first 3 diamonds go. Then I go down to 11 from the center of where my base will be and run these programs-...

    RedPower news, and thaumcraft

    Redpower news without all the drama. :) Oh...yeah...sorry...on topic, I'll drink most anything, but well-aged Scotch is my poison of choice. ;)

    Please make a "How To" for this section

    Not really, I looked at it a long time ago. It wasn't as polished then. Now it looks like exactly what I am looking for. As usual, a few minutes after I posted I found the answer, in the launcher feedback forum. Thanks.

    Please make a "How To" for this section

    This seems to be the right thread for this question. I understand the whole tekkit vs modders which turns into a religious argument, and so I understand why FTB is taking the stance they are. In the longterm I know it is only going to make FTB better. HOWEVER, What about "private" or...
