    Age of Engineering Series!

    You could actually do it on your main network. But its always felt neater to partition it off onto its own thing and you save a couple of channels, and you get to make the exact amount of printed silicon. This is also how to setup a lot of forestry crafting so the machines don't overflow on...

    Age of Engineering Series!

    Assuming AoE hasn't changed this, the normal way is: Create a staging chest, and attach a ME interface to it. In the ME interface slot crafting patterns for Logic, Calculation and Engineering circuits where each recipe consists of a silicon, a redstone dust and the appropriate diamond/gold...

    Have you thought of doing a Lets Play with someone? (Ive only watched AoE so I don't know if you do elsewhere). I always find server based lets plays more interesting as you can see a number of different approaches play out.

    You would use Batch Crafters for IC2, because, well, the mod they're from, is IC2.

    Surely you would auto-craft IC2 items using Batch Crafters.

    Age of Engineering Series!

    Are you running SSP? Or a local server? I have a lightweight NAS server available so I use "McMyAdmin" to run my own server. Even for "just me" this gives a couple of advantages: 1. an always up server means I benefit from chunkloading while my gaming PC is off. 2. The server and client are...

    Finding/Breeding a Common Bee

    You will very rarely get a 'thoroughbred' from a mutation. In fact, that should never happen unless theres a chance of dual mutations, in which case you're looking at a 5% of a 5% chance, or a 0.25% chance. So your first generation of mutations from mixing mundane bees is always going to be...

    Yeah, Forestry does not really implement dominant and recessive traits properly at all. So a meadows|common can have meadows or common as the dominant species.

    In episode 19 I think you mean "Hive" bee (i.e. bee species obtained from a hive in the world) when you say Thoroughbred bee?

    CRISPR (a non cheaty alternative to Gendustry). Forestries bees (trees and butterflies) are, on the one hand, an interesting exploration of mendelian inheritance rules in a mod. On the other hand, mendelian inheritance rules make bees difficult to work with in a goal / production oriented way -...

    Problem FTB Infinity Evolved Skyblock IC2 vs Immersive enginnering blast furnace issue

    The first problem with this is the (unenhanced) Blast Furnace consumes 10HU/s or less when operating, as a LHE with a single coil, and a Solid Heat Generator are both capable of operating one. If a Blast Furnace can be overclocked, then potential sources of Heat are: Liquid Heat Exchanger...

    IC2 reactor design tools

    I realize that this reactor planner https://web.archive.org/web/20160415093202/http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/v3/ICReactorPlannerV3.jar is for an older version of IC2. It doesn't know MOX. It doesn't know Fuel Rods have 2x the lifespan they once did. It DOES however provide...

    Thaumcraft Node 'Bully' Range and Advancing (4.2+, 1.7.10)

    Also: If you have a lot of thaumcraft addons installed, one of them adds a warded glass jar recipe that does not damage the node. Also the Blood Magic teleposer can move nodes without damaging them if in the pack.

    Thaumcraft Node 'Bully' Range and Advancing (4.2+, 1.7.10)

    This is exactly right, and how I (personally) always grow my super-node. Collect only nodes with primal aspects, and capture bright nodes until one doesn't get damaged to place in the center for the 20% output boost. Fading nodes can be placed in stabilizers until they become Pale. With...

    Thaumcraft Node 'Bully' Range and Advancing (4.2+, 1.7.10)

    A node can bully / be bullied by another node in a 9x9x9 box centered on the node. The Wand Recharge Pedestal can draw Vis from nodes in a 17x17x17 box centered on the pedestal. This means - without using stabilizers - you can place a Wand Rechage Pedestal within range of 64 nodes if you place...

    Finding/Breeding a Common Bee

    Forestry is a combination of Mendelian Genetics, and a custom "species" mutation mechanism. In conventional genetics a "species" would be a cluster of traits, in Forestry the "species" is simply one of the traits. If you have bees with traits you are trying to optimize, and you wish to ignore...

    I realize this has probably been done to death, but what about - instead - a Forge based universal tool API, so that all mods can share a single wrench, with universal rotate and proper disassembly mechanics. I don't, in principal, disapprove of IC2s habit of dropping machine parts when a...

    Wanted: A "Simple" minecart integration mod. Reason: Vanilla minecart integration leaves a lot to be desired: In order to make a loader /unloader a number of vanilla hacks need to be done to stop railcarts so that they are simultaneously on a detection rail AND a booster rail, such that the...

    [1.10.2] Age of Engineering

    MOX fuel rods are how you turn U238 into Plutonium. You get all the Plutonium back used to make them, plus extra - they last half as long as Uranium Fuel Rods so you can double your Plutonium production by going MOX.
