    Spawning mobs, need help.

    I think the RotaryCraft spawner controller can make a spawner work even if the player is far away. Not 100% sure though.

    early/mid/late game?

    Early: food is still an issue Mid: you have some power and ore processing going and perhaps a quarry. You're starting the basics of magic (if you're into that) Late: you have a full automatic quarry, more power then you can use and you basically never have to worry about resources again I would...

    Recent Events Discussion (RED) Thread

    I think such a thing might be somewhat hard to implement as you don't want ores to spawn in stone that the player is using for his own buildings.

    That's not really very realistic is it?

    Ore Processing

    I must admit I never really got into this mod and it appears to be rather weird to me. I may have to watch a few spotlights or videos on it though. However, with regards to hding your equipment in the rooms I actually like to have my machines visible as I like the 'machine room' look to things :-)

    Ore Processing

    Small correction. RotaryCraft has *3 early ore doubling (grinder) instead of *2.

    Crucible questions

    Thanks for these suggestions. I will experiment with that. Needed to make a mana farm in any case :-)

    Arcane Lamps?

    I once had a single player world where after a while I had more then 700 glimmer of lights from only a few arcane lamps (I believe 3). That's when I decided that I no longer want to use that lamp :-) I remove the arcane lamps and then got rid of the glimmer of lights (which didn't go away on...

    Ore Processing

    For me the RotaryCraft extractor is the ultimate. Approx 5 times ore doubling and fun to get it to work with the RotaryCraft mechanics :-)

    Crucible questions

    Hi all, I have dabbled in Thaumcraft before but never really got into it fully. I'm wondering how to find out the best combinations for things to throw in the crucible. I already know Nitor which is easy by doing 6 torches, 3 coal and then 3 glowstone and that's a perfect match. No waste/taint...

    EnderIO - Broken Mob Spawners

    Only in 1.7 and beyond. 1.6.4 only supports one enchant per book.

    Cheap ME network?

    True, but hoarding is so fun :-) Also it is nice to see those big numbers on my AE storage monitors.

    Cheap ME network?

    When you have a few RotaryCraft boring machines running forever then 16k drives are not enough. I have more then 100k of most ores, cobblestone, dirt and so on.

    What is "Too Much Grinding?"

    Yes, that can be annoying. These kinds of recepies are usually the first I automate in my AE system :-)

    What is "Too Much Grinding?"

    I think that it is pretty natural that at some point the world you have been building will no longer hold your interest. For me that's usually when I have automated it enough so that there is not much left to do except build and cleanup. Luckily I'm still at the point that I haven't actually...

    What is "Too Much Grinding?"

    Grinding is subjective. I like the occasional mining from time to time. I enjoy the thrill of finding a rare mineral or diamond and collecting it. However, I also have automatic quarries/boring machines set up so that I don't actually *need* to do that. Same for other things. I like to craft but...

    Cheap ME network?

    Yes a storage bus works well for that. You can make a functional AE network without any actual AE drives or storage that way.

    Cheap ME network?

    Not really I'm afraid. Put up a quarry, boring machine or similar to get resources I would say.

    EnderIO - Ender IO and Staff of Travelling?

    Well I can only get it to work when I actually select the enderio block from a distance. So for me at least it has to be in render distance (but I can see it through walls though as long as I have the travelling staff in my hand).

    Tesseracts - Not in my library?!?

    There is only one tesseract now which can do all at once.
