    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    What is the (upgrade) best setup for electrical engines if you have 10 ultimate hybrid solar panels you could use for power? I've looked, and some posts say to use two bronze tubes and one tin, but isn't that still a 3.5:1 ratio? Should I just fill it with iron tubes, or what? (I plan on...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I've been working on getting iridium from Sheldonite ore, which took me far away from the mainland where the dragon is. However, I saw that a obsidian tower, as well as the crystal itself, spawned alone on one of the end's many asteroids. I'm currently using the Mindcrack Pack, but is this...

    End Crystals Spawn Outside Of End Mainland

    I've been working on getting iridium from Sheldonite ore, which took me far away from the mainland where the dragon is. However, I saw that a obsidian tower, as well as the crystal itself, spawned alone on one of the end's many asteroids. I'm currently using the Mindcrack Pack, but is this...

    Making A Staircase?

    I want to make a staircase which will lead to my 2nd floor, but I'm not great at designing anything. Instead of normal stairs, I would like to use microblocks either exclusively or with the stairs. I posted a few pictures below with wool so you can see the room's dimensions. The snowman...

    Matter Fabricator: Temp. Nether Star Power With Wither Boss Farm?

    I am using the Mindcrack Pack, so I can't use any TE3 stuff. I'm rather proud of my efficient Wither Boss Farm, and want to use it for something other than just hoarding nether stars. A Magic Energy Converter supposingly outputs 24eu/t. I know it probably isn't work making a bunch of those...

    Matter Fabricator: Temp. Nether Star Power With Wither Boss Farm?

    A while ago I made an automatic, repeatable Wither boss farm using MFFS touch damage and a portal to have it continuously spawn in range of the touch damage blocks before floating into the portal again. I also have a tier-5 wither skeleton farm to get wither skulls relatively fast. Right now...

    In a Mystcraft Age, about how much longer is a weather state (sunny/rain) under "Slow Weather" conditions compared to vanilla Minecraft? This is under the condition that the age has no other weather properties.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I fixed my previous problem. How do I kill a Wither boss and have it drop a wither star using an MFFS projector while outside it? The wither is trapped in a small area and won't fire back. I am using the containment module at the moment.

    Deployers Won't Create Wither

    I am trying to spawn a Wither with redpower deployers, but the top right deployer isn't deploying the final head. My guess is that for some reason, it is deploying before the deployer under it deploys soul sand. ...But I don't understand why, since power is coming from the back via redstone...

    Automatic, Repeatable AFK Nether Star Farm Without MFFS

    I got a system of sorts working, though, I can't seem to get a melee turtle to attack the wither for the life of me. The way I have it setup now is suffocation brings it down to around half health and it goes down slowly after the explosion. If someone could explain how to get the turtle to...

    Automatic, Repeatable AFK Nether Star Farm Without MFFS

    I know it's specific, but I was wondering if someone could explain the more general parts which many people do, such as using deployers to create a wither, and how to make a track with spaces in it to let the wither suffocate without it exploding and therefore escaping. Once I do that, I think...

    Automatic, Repeatable AFK Nether Star Farm Without MFFS

    I want to make an automatic wither boss farm which will continuously kill the wither boss as many times as there are items to create it, or a specific number of times as defined by the player. There is a video on YouTube which I can't find at the time where the create makes the wither go into a...

    The world is under the Mindcrack Pack I am trying to make an automatic villager breeder and sorter which will pull villagers out of the breed area, and sort them. I only want farmer villagers since I want to make a little bit of emeralds with my massive supply of wheat. I want the sorter to...

    Turning A Giant Rubber Tree Farm Log Into Something Good Looking

    I made a few changes to it, testing a few designs, but it is still not quite right. (I appreciate all your help though, since I can't design anything.) Change 1: Change 2: Change 2, arches moved back one block: I kind of like the arches going along the sides, though I have to do something...

    Turning A Giant Rubber Tree Farm Log Into Something Good Looking

    [S] On my test world, I built an automatic rubber tree farm, maximizing (or, atleast trying to) the area of the multi-farm, but now I have a giant wooden diamond which is kind of an eye sore. I began trying to disguise it but I don't know what else I can do since I need the walls solid due to...

    Making The Area Around The Arboretum & Logger Powered Farm More Pleasing

    The only reason why I am using such an old (and outdated (?)) method for a rubber tree farm is the following: You cannot have managed rubber treee farms powerd by powered-farms. I don't have much apatite to run the farm on. I can fill a golden chest filled with humus, and it will run...

    Making The Area Around The Arboretum & Logger Powered Farm More Pleasing

    *Making The Area Around The Arboretum & Logger Powered Farm Look More Pleasing I am running the generic rubber tree farm, and want to know if there's anything I can do to make the (outside, facing away from the center) area around the farm better looking. I can't really put blocks by the...

    Vertical Ascent/Decent Frame Door

    I am still having trouble with the timing for some reason.... Never mind, I seemed to have figured it out myself.

    Vertical Ascent/Decent Frame Door

    I'm having trouble with making a frame door where the wall goes down, then slides back up after x amount of seconds. One of the main problems is that the slabs on top of the doorway, and the logs on the sides are also going down/up, when I just want the 3x4 blocks in the middle to do so. I am...
