    Mod Feedback ChromatiCraft questions and suggestions

    Memory issues were my second guess, as a fresh system restart resolved the issue temporarily. This suggests to me that either I need to increase the size allocation granted to Java in the launcher argument stuff, or I simply need to get more RAM. 6gigs doesn't go so far these days...

    Mod Feedback ChromatiCraft questions and suggestions

    Alright, I've been trying and trying to get this thing to play nice, but it just isn't. Time to ask people who know more than me, it would appear. Crash log is massive, inconsistent at where it crashes and what it reports, and ultimately a pain. The gist of the thing is that the system is...

    Set for life.

    Does it? Huh. I guess I'm odd in that it doesn't especially bother me, which is unusual since that sort of thing usually does in fact bother me. Maybe it's 'cause I switched my forum theme over to the Dark version? /shrug

    [1.7.10] Healing Altar - Soul Hearts added

    While I have no personal use for this, I still think it's a creative and interesting way to spin some healing! (No personal use for it because I'm not actively playing MC at the moment, if you're curious. Waiting for some stabilization in the community and on the official FTB packs, y'know?)

    [Blood Magic] In Need of Mobs

    Oh thank heavens, some other ways to generate LP is one of my biggest issues with the mod as a whole. Be looking forward to this, hopefully someone can help out!

    Tech Mods: Missing the Point

    On a baseline level, as in vanilla, I agree with this sentiment. Once we get into mods and modpacks, my perspective on it becomes highly subjective in relation to what mods are in the pack and what it requires of obsidian. For most of my own packs, obsidian is little more than a blast-proof...

    How to charge Botania tools?

    As Wagon said, Endoflames are basically the best early game mana generation. Daybloom and Nightshade are great for exceptionally slow trickle-gen, but it'll take quite a while to add up to anything particular useful. They mostly exist to allow you to get the necessary mana to imbue flower...

    How to charge Botania tools?

    This, though there's some other options as well. There are two rings you can craft that come in quite handy if you wish to work with the Botania tools: the Ring of Mana and another one whose name I honestly forget right now haha. In any case, one ring passively charges mana while the other...

    Witchery Misconception (wall of text)

    If there's one thing I need to explore in Witchery at some point, it's the Witchhunter gear. It's just that it's -very- clearly meant for PvP against Witch players, while protecting you from things like poppet effects and curses. Bit of a downer, that. Regardless, I've never personally gotten...

    Witchery Misconception (wall of text)

    To each their own and all that, but I for one agree with Santa here. Sure the mod has a pretty solid PvP feature set, but there's still plenty for us solo folks to play with. Plus there's the unbridled joy my significant other displays whenever she gets her first owls. Me, I've always...

    Thaumcraft 4.2 Node Bullying Questions

    Now that's some useful information. I wonder if a wiki-type person is nearby to get this added to the relevant stuff? Heavens know it seems to be more relevant now that we have our technomagical vis networks these days. In response to netmc, I finally turned my own node into an energized...

    Thaumcraft 4.2 Node Bullying Questions

    Unfortunately there seems to be very limited information on this sort of thing, so I don't have much to offer. Having said all that, I have been using a mediocre pure node as my base node and feeding it weaker nodes. People are correct in that it takes significant amounts of time to get...

    New Section!

    Just as an idle thought, it might be worth pursuing a sticky in this section that offers links that help a person learn or achieve mastery over programming insofar as it relates to Minecraft. I know Khan Academy did an introduction to coding thing a while back that presumably is still around...

    Sorting Systems, Automation, and all that rot.

    Thanks, I'll hafta look at that link! Redstone's always been an overly complex thing for me; took me years to really figure out how to invert a signal since all I really ever wanted was to make redstone controlled 'doors' to my fortresses and such, which means I wanted them default closed...

    Soul Shards Reborn in Resonant Rise

    Yeah... not to be mean or anything, it's just that I wasn't even aware Soul Shards were still a thing. Haven't seen those in FTB since the Ultimate days personally, and with no discussion about the mod around here, your odds of finding any help are slim. Doesn't hurt to check of course, but...

    Sorting Systems, Automation, and all that rot.

    I guess it's really just a case of: What does Railcraft do that other mods don't, and how can I leverage it for something interesting? I know it uses steam-based power, has a focus on carts, and has some machines to make Steel and Coal Coke. That's about the extent of my functional knowledge...

    Sorting Systems, Automation, and all that rot.

    I'm game for discussion on magic and steam mods, though there's not much to say honestly. FSP is pretty fun and I've quite enjoyed it, Railcraft remains incomprehensible to me thus far, and magic is where my focus has always gone so those 'big four' I listed are pretty much my present...

    Sorting Systems, Automation, and all that rot.

    I seem to see Refined Relocation and Steve's Factory Manager a lot when I try to find others' sorting systems. Seems I should keep those two in mind next time I put together a modpack, haha. Folks seem to be quite fond of the two, so I should likely investigate when I can. I actually...

    Poll: What is your favourite Minecraft version?

    For me, it's never been about the vanilla version; it's about the mods supported in that version. Right now, that's 1.7.10 because that's what I'm playing in and I like Botania as well as what Thaumcraft has been doing with Warp. So honestly, as long as the mods I like are supported in an...

    Sorting Systems, Automation, and all that rot.

    If I might ask, I'm looking at the back of those chests and barrels and I don't quite understand how things would get to the chests on top? It looks like you have sorting pipes connecting to the chests, with standard transfer pipes along the barrels. Would the sorting pipes detect what's...
