    Tinkers Slime Balls

    "It is said" that liquid slime does not spawn slimes, except when placed in a slime island chunk. And the liquid slime I carried back to my base has not, thus far, spawned anything. Maybe I need more, but in previous versions you didn't need much. JEI is not showing anything interesting for...

    Can i get my maps from the old launcher to the twitch one?

    Assuming you are a Windows user and are not hugely technically competent, download and install Everything Everything is a simple search tool that uses your hard disks own indexing to instantly search, well, everything. You can use it to find, with no knowledge of where twitch / classic / FTB /...

    Tinkers Slime Balls

    The slime islands are a limited resource. Of course they can be pillaged - I am looking for a renewable source of purple & blue slime blocks / balls. AoE needs a lot of blue slime ...

    Tinkers Slime Balls

    How are you meant to get blue/purple slime in Tinkers? Congealed Maga Slime blocks are easy in that a visit to the nether and a bit of wandering can yield a magma slime sapling or two, when planted, will generate a congealed maga slime block tree. (in 1.10 at least) both purple and blue...

    Help with bee breeding

    Always scale up your bee production. You can either mess around with soul frames etc. or just smash out enough bee houses and apiaries that you are always busy. There are a couple of distinct steps in bee breeding that you should acknowledge. Getting a mutation: Do this in apiaries with...

    Is it intentional that Environmental Tech multiblocks can be built with shared edges?

    [1.10.2] Age of Engineering

    I use MultiMC to play my modpacks. I don't know if the latest versions still require you to enable the developer stream, but you can just drag the modpack zip you download from curse onto MultiMC and it will set up a profile for the modpack for you. (Just remember to set the memory allocation...

    Tinkers Tools for 1.10+

    Adding the "Alien" trait gives (ultimately) the tool 800 points distributed between speed, durability and damage (where 1 point assigned to damage or speed grants 0.007 speed, or 0.005 attack). This makes it an interesting embossment for weapons (points assigned to damage on a tool are just...

    Tinkers Tools for 1.10+

    I love Magnetic II, but Iron doesn't have a good mining level or durability, so I'm all for embossmenting an Iron head of some kind onto my tools. My utility pickaxe - for doing work around my base non destructively - is a cobalt head, copper binding and wooden tool rod. Embossment is an Iron...

    Tinkers Tools for 1.10+

    I don't buy that. Outside of a small set of min-maxers the community at large is mostly full of people who "can't be bothered". A lack of discussion then means a lack of interest. And a lack of interest means the mechanism is too complex with too little return to bother with. Based on some YT...

    Tinkers Tools for 1.10+

    Tinkers Construct for 1.10 and later has changed a lot. Especially with the addition of Embossment, and the massive changes to the repair mechanism I would have expected far more discussion on what the current "good" tools are (never mind weapons). I like tools, I really like tools, that don't...

    [1.10.2] Age of Engineering

    On previous playthroughs I managed (somehow) to get the "Acquire Hardware" vanilla achievement, which is "Smelt an Iron Ingot". The entire Industrial Craft 2 achievement tree requires this to even get started. As you must smelt ingots in a smeltery I can't seem to complete the lynchpin...

    [1.10.2] Age of Engineering

    Also, when I sleep on a bed, it says "Spawn set". But when I `/spawn` I go to the server spawn. `/ftb home/sethome/delhome' seems to manage a list of 100 homes. Does not include the above set spawn. `/ftb warp/setwarp/delwarp` manages a list of 100 warps? These are server wide I think. Don't...

    Can't install AOE 1.1.2 anymore with CMPDL as "BetterBuildersWand" seems to have been removed from Curse:

    Causes of massive tick rate lag on my server

    I don't know what dark magic C&B does, BUT: Minecraft has two rendering pipelines. One deals with blocks - first it processes all the solid blocks - because it knows that solid blocks with solid blocks around them cannot be seen so it can ignore them. It can also ignore blocks that only are...

    Causes of massive tick rate lag on my server

    You say you play solo on your server, and you have scheduled restarts etc. Where exactly is this server hosted? I mean, I play on a server. Its a linux box that I have in my house, and I have installed McMyAdmin and put together bash scripts that install modpacks using @Reika's curse mudpack...

    Causes of massive tick rate lag on my server

    Well, the Server tick log just confirms that the server knows its lagging too :P Id say this is the typical pattern of the garbage collector taking too long but frankly any kind of mod wasting cpu cycles is going to manifest like this. Question: What is the command line being used to launch your...
