    RedPower MicroBlocks

    This usually has to do with lighting renders. Even with smooth lighting on (or at 100% using OptiFine), occasionally a microblock will register as "inside" a block, and thus be shaded. For things like wall paneling to disguise tubes/cables, smooth lighting needs to be on to get the lighting...

    twilight forest

    I usually bust a hole in the side, and start climbing. I've never seen an actual door, just oddly placed blocks that look like they should be a door (two stacked cobbles).

    Is there a machine that can give items you ask for

    You can also use turtles and misc peripherals. I'm currently working on an all inclusive turtle butler system, where the turtle can find what I request based on its expected location in a chest, and sort things back into the correct chests when finished.

    Help with turtle code please

    You're completely correct, I keep reverting back to standard coding habits. I think everything Lua starts at 1, rather than 0.

    Help with turtle code please

    One thing that needs to be added is having the turtle change slots, otherwise it can only place a line of 64. Something like: -- Checks if slot is empty, and moves to next slot i = 1 while turtle.getItemCount() <=0 do i = i + 1 turtle.select(i) end turtle.placeDown() Edit: Fixed to...

    Turtle Quarry

    It's also possible to use it where its constantly receiving a rednet signal, and if it didn't receive the signal it would hang until it did. I sometimes use rednet loops for emergency turtle stops, since getting in their way can throw the pathfinding off. A similar thing should be possible...

    Turtle Quarry

    It might be possible to implement a pause function using wireless turtle. Each time it progresses to a chosen point in the program, have it check for a rednet signal of some kind, have it sleep for X. Another possibility would give the turtle some way to track how far into the program it has...

    Objectives of FTB?

    My goal is usually to make myself obsolete in my world; automate all the things! Currently I'm trying to make myself so obsolete I don't even have to move from a primary computer control area. Automated mining, crafty turtles, and a turtle butler. Perhaps some wireless redstone or a mobile...

    Aesthetics for builds

    I tend to do skyscraper factories for my mod centric aesthetics. My current factories tend to be an entrance floor (mostly wallpaper/accent stuff in that room), then floors for however I plan to break down my mods (usually ore processing + crafting, forestry/bees, thermal expansion, then an...

    Villager Breeding

    If I'm viewing the image correctly, all the doors on the inside of the tenement make the rest of the doors invalid doors. All my successful tenements have an air block immediately behind each door. It's also possible you need more doors, if the village is already well populated. The ratio of...

    Introducing Myself

    Hey everybody, Figured I'd introduce myself. Relatively new Minecrafter who got sucked immediately into mods in a strong way, after watching the first Direwolf FTB map video, and hooked ever since. It's been fun watching the FTB project develop and waiting on the edge of my seat for things...

    Soooo, Mystcraft newbie mistake anyone?

    Twilight forest portals need to be on the surface, in a grassy area, with at least some sky access to open. It might be possible to open it by busting a hole to the surface above it, getting grass to grow down to the area the portal is in. Also, I've only manage to open portals surrounded by...
