    Signature Policy Update

    I went to change my signature, and it makes sense that we can only use a maximum of size 3 font. But there's no option to make the font smaller than that? I re-read the new rules and there's nothing saying we can't use font size smaller than 3.

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    Looks like a vanilla Minecraft 1.7 Flower Forest biome.

    Mech's FTB Ultimate Biofuel Energy Base

    Thanks, yeah there is hardened glass, you need pulverised obsidian and lead to make it. As far as I know though you can't turn it into microblocks, so it's kinda limited in uses....otherwise I'd use it. The irradiant glass panes (which you use to make advanced solar panels) look awesome too...

    Mech's FTB Ultimate Biofuel Energy Base

    Minecarts are cool, I haven't done them though because they take up too much room. Although they'd be an interesting project for going down into a mine delivering some charcoal. I've updated the world download link in case anyone's interested in what the project actually looks like, I've been...

    Mech's FTB Ultimate Biofuel Energy Base

    Yeah exactly, that's actually what got me interested in FTB is making all the complicated machines with pipes and stuff because you gotta really think it through and plan for every scenario. AE is good for taking the headache out of all the running around, e.g. if you need stone then you don't...

    Mech's FTB Ultimate Biofuel Energy Base

    Yeah well, I reckon AE is a pretty good mod for the wireless terminal storage and all that, I haven't done the autocrafting stuff yet though because I have no idea how it works lol I hear that it's fairly simple though and I'm planning to make an AE autocrafting system thing in my Ultimate...

    Mech's FTB Ultimate Biofuel Energy Base

    Thanks for breaking up the posts, this post merging is annoying me haha Yeah they look pretty sick, the reason why I used slow stone transport pipes is so that you can actually see the items travelling through the pipes. Even though Buildcraft has been around forever now, it's still cool seeing...

    Mech's FTB Ultimate Biofuel Energy Base

    Things are starting to get a lot more technical now, since the actual building infrastructure is mostly complete. This is an automatic wheat farm setup using an MFR harvester and planter, this is much more energy-efficient than using a Forestry wheat farm because it runs off EU power and only...

    Help with PC build

    If you spend $20 more on a better motherboard, you won't regret it. Motherboards seem like a waste of money when you could spend it on a better CPU or graphics card, sure, but if you're buying a motherboard with a 1600MHz FSB it'll just slow down the rest of your system. And of course if you...

    Where should I put a mob farm? (AG)

    I like to put a mob farm smack dab in the centre of my Agrarian Skies worlds. As long as the main spawning room is far enough above you it'll spawn stuff no problem.

    issue with extra bees and Greg tech

    Are you breeding with a Resilient queen and a Diligent drone? You probably know this already, but just in case. A 5% chance of a successful mutation is pretty low, so it's best to get a full-on alveary running with three mutator blocks, and if you use uranium ore you'll get an almost guaranteed...

    What pack are you playing right now?

    Your Thoughts on Orespawn?

    I've never played orespawn, but I think the reason why it's so unbalanced is because it's just so wacky. It's kinda expected when the feature list is stuff like: 'LAZER GUNS, GIRLFRIENDS, HOTDOGS, SPACESHIPS, JUMPING CASTLES, ROCKET BOOTS' etc etc.

    Speed Issue

    I used to play FTB on a 2.4GHz dual core laptop and only got 20fps on a good day, laptops in general are pretty crappy for playing FTB since it's a very CPU-intensive game and laptops usually have integrated graphics. I literally melted the graphics of that laptop (even when using a cooler) and...

    FTB "Teams Challenge". Are you in?

    This looks interesting, I have a terrible history of committing to anything that isn't a personal Minecraft project so this probably isn't for me. I like the concept though.

    Mech's FTB Ultimate Biofuel Energy Base

    Yeah that's true, I haven't tried a ladder. Although I might try the conveyor belts only because I'll be using them already to collect the slimes at the bottom of the slime farm. I might do some testing and see which method is easier.Updated world download...

    Motivation and Minecraft

    I'm not pro at being an always-happy or easy-to-get-along-with person, but I remember some good quotes I've heard that always help. Damn it I probably can't remember them exactly, but they go something like this: A boat only floats when there's no water inside. In the same way, problems only...

    Qaz's first desktop build.

    I'm interested to hear too, I've used Windows 8.1 all year and haven't had a single issue with it.

    Bug Cannot repair bronze pickaxe

    Except when you've got the ball of moss upgrade lol I mean, your tools look like they're ancient artifacts dragged up from the bottom of the ocean, but at least they last forever.

    Qaz's first desktop build.

    Tell me about it! I spent the best part of AU$2000 on my system with a university budget, but it's justified when I need a reliable machine to compute the mostly-unknown secrets of the universe such as assignments.
