    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    To be honest, I tend to stay out of creative. I guess I'm partly worried that I'll find out it doesn't have the same issues as my survival world - which would mean that something else is borked, possibly beyond repair.

    Okay - Blood Magic question. I've determined that every time I log into my world, my stored LP in my 'soul network' resets. Anything that the orb has soaked up, gone. Not sure if this is a bug, a feature, or what, but it poses another problem. I want to set up a Well of Suffering so I can...

    You need to put either sand or glass (both work) in the upper left slot to fill the glass reservoir. I usually put it in a stack at a time, because you're going to need a lot of those electron tubes. In the crafting grid, you set up your recipe (usually five things in an inverted T and two...

    Most of my power conduits are the Kinesis Pipes (because recipe weirdness), so I have a visual on what machines are 'chewing' power. About the only machine that uses power without producing something is the Thermionic Fabricator from Forestry. (I rationalize this by the fact that it's got to...

    I'm guessing that the questbooks must be different between the Skyblock version and the worldgen version. My point was that I never even had to make the multiblock metal press.

    My 'hobbyist steam engine' lasted through one refueling before I decided to go back to my 'Tower of Power' waterwheel assemblage. It's now more of a back-up, but ensures that my ME system will never go off-line on me.

    Oh, I hear you on the 'no reward' thing. I don't know if it's a thing in the world-gen version, but there's a special set of achievements in the Skyblock version that actually give you trophies. I think I went straight from the hammer method (Engineer's Hammer + 2 ingots=1 plate) to the IC2...

    IC2 Metal Former - for all your plates, wires, item casings, fuel rods and metal fences. I have three in my base - one for just 'rolling', one that 'rolls' and then feeds into the third which 'extrudes'. (Some recipes need you to extrude from a plate.)

    Oh, it did. And you need the Watering Can for it, which requires four other specific seeds.

    Agricraft genetics are pretty easy - all you need is one of the Seed Analyzers (no power, no real material cost) and lots of sticks. Analyze your parent seeds and plant them on crop sticks, so that they are both adjacent to the same clear block. If you set them diagonally from each other, you...

    I haven't even braved the Nether yet (although I know I have to at some point. Pigman-farming will be needed). I'm not expecting the Skyblock version to have spider-hives, though. Agricraft can breed your asparagus from other plants. It's one of the later plants on the tree if you're...

    You can use the juicer, but that doesn't help a whole lot with automation.

    Yeah, I've been using a slime spawner from EnderIO. You're going to want a spider spawner too - or Spidery Bees. Combining that with sifted Blaze Powder, and I've got enough on deck for my first two Creative Cells (including the required Eye of Enders) Ghast Tears are my current choke point.

    Nope. You must get the oil. Pumpkin Seeds in a Presser is probably your easiest way of getting it, but I recommend going for the Slaughterhouse, which produces 'Meat Ingots' that don't require oil.

    I was partially referring to the effects of Thaumcraft - but I realized that the hoarding aspect is slightly insane as well. To get all four creative recipes as independent items, you need no fewer than 136080 Magma Creams. Also a few metric tons of glass. (I have charts. Lots of charts.)

    Eventually, you're going to be getting decked out in Wyvern armor, followed by Draconic. Oh, and be prepared to go slightly mad if you're planning on completing the questbook.

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    You can use a nametag on a Wither. The name will show above the boss-health-bar, and if you name it Dinnerbone, it will indeed fly around upside down. (Also, spectator mode as a Wither is great for getting epic Ender Dragon flight shots.)

    How so? (I've got a sliiiiight overflow of sulfur...)

    I'm pretty sure that silk touch on any shovel will transport Cursed Earth - once you've created it by activating a Division sigil.
