Ah. I am playing AoE with you 10yo son. We are going slow, but the ore washing plant is relatively cheap compared to the thermal centrifuge or induction furnace (both of which require the advanced machine casing!) which is how/why we hit this snag: Because we had the Tinkers smeltery I wasn't...

Good grief. When launching a minecraft server, modded or vanilla, *Always* enable the concurrent garbage collector unless you like a periodic glitch (i.e. block lag) every few seconds (Accompanied by a console message "Server is behind by xxx ticks) java -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -Xmx2G -jar...

Ok, I don't know if I am misreading your reply, but "Purified Crushed Ore" IS the output from the Ore Washer. Where the Ore Washer requires a mid tier investment in the Industrial Age - as it needs 16EU/t to work. But comes way before the Thermal Centrifuge (which takes washed / purified...

Is it intentional that Purified Crushed XXX Ore cannot be smelted in the Tinkers Smeltery whereas the Ore, Crushed Ore and Dust forms can be smelted?

is this a (perhaps) 1.7.10 modpack? Fastcraft was really necessary for some versions of MC to prevent this.

So, just rebreed all your queens with the drones from a single reference queen and all the gene lines will converge.

So, Thaumcraft? :P

An excellent alternative are mobs with the Thaumcraft prefix "Undying", or to just place some sinister nodes (using blood magic teleposers) below the well of suffering.

Witches stay alive indefinitely.

Impractical Storage is the mod I never knew I really wanted created. What better way to store my masses of cobblestone, except as masses of cobblestone! I hope it does liquids too.

Storage Drawers is a mod I hate to love. It fills a critical hole in minecraft survival mode: I don't know why MC and mods are so stingy with storage but when it takes over 120 stacks of gravel to just do the paving around my base, chests and double chests just doesn't cut it. That said - I...

Relatively unconsidered mods that stand out: * Schematica - versions exit for MC 1.5.2 thru to 1.11.2 - This mod lets you load (and save) MCEdit schematic files from within game. It displays the schematic in game as a ghosted image allowing you to build to a plan. In creative mode it can place...

Thaumcraft because so much content.

Ars Magica's armor infusion process has an infusion for legs or boots iirc that places ars magica light glimmers (Rather than torches) as you explore dark places.

The hungry node cannot pull you off a block if you are sneaking (unless you are below the hungry node , it can pull you up and off). So you can safely approach a hungry node by sneaking on a bridge made of obsidian, and when close enough, enclose it in obsidian or Warded Glass. Additionally...

Witchery is brilliant - even if a server disables the Voodoo poppet nothing stops you casting a ritual of lightning on a way stone bound to a player, and then leaving the ritual running indefinitely.

You don't have to tell your video card to work for Java. Ok, you do: In a very specific scenario: IF you have a Laptop with dual graphics cards - a low power one and a "performance" one, THEN and ONLY THEN does this advice apply: The Graphics drivers try to save power by running non games on...

I don't want a mod: I want Forge - it must be forge so other mods will use it: I want a mod that will Register keybinds for each of the armor slots, as well as the active held item slot. Mods - like Thaumcraft, and Ars Magica, and Thermal Expansion and Factorization, and Tinkers Construct and...

If your FPS is low its NOT because of insufficient memory allocation. Insufficient java memory would manifest as periodic deadlocks as the Java VM tried to scavenge more memory, followed by crashes, when Minecraft tries to access things it tried to load but couldn't. Low FPS is caused by a...

If you have a 2nd PC, or an i5 or better CPU, you should download the standalone server for the pack you are playing and run that as a separate process. (And i5 or i7 should have sufficient cores to run a MC client and dedicated MC server side by side with no issues, especially given your...
