    Qaz's first desktop build.

    I'm running an i5-4670k at stock speed (3.4GHz) and that thing chews up and spits out everything I throw at it. And you're getting an i7-4790k, geez... If you want faster RAM though, I'm running the Geil Evo Potenza 2400MHz stuff and it's great stuff for the price. I think I got 2x4GB sticks for...

    Yeah they're great, I'll be making a Factorization grinder setup that automatically processes all the gravel and sand I need. It's much easier than tearing up deserts just to get sand.Currently in the process of making a big two-chunk-wide slime farm so that there will be a load of slimeballs...

    Really stupid things that people have said about Modded MC(Off topicness makes moderators tired)

    Just one of my parents who grew up in an era where games were a little more agricultural :P

    Really stupid things that people have said about Modded MC(Off topicness makes moderators tired)

    Conversation while I'm playing FTB: Someone: "Are you listening to something?" Me: "No it's just for the game." Someone: "What music is it?" Me: *long pause* "It's not music, games play sounds." Someone: "Why do you have to listen to it?" Me: *longer pause* "Well I have to hear things otherwise...

    Mob farm problems[1.7.10]

    Are you using a mob trap design where mobs spawn naturally in dark spawning spaces? If so the first thing you need to do is to light up every cave in the loaded area so that they aren't spawning down there instead. And make sure no sunlight is getting into your spawning room via microblocks or...

    Yeah good idea, I'll upload the save file to Mediafire today and put a link on the first post. I actually lack design imagination as well, I've just been trying to think outside the box with the building stuff and somehow it's actually worked out pretty well :PDownload link is up...

    Thanks man! The factory building is pretty much done now, aside from a few holes at the back. I reckon it's finally time to move on to other technical projects now that the building is finished :P Off topic now, when I post a bunch of pictures I might just show the main one and then put the...

    Just some poverty-level Stirling engines for now, only because Redwood trees are easy to make and they give you wood for days. They're slow as heck but on the factory setup I'll be using biogas engines running on biomass. Although that being said it's on the To Do list to set up some peat bogs...

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    TFC is a fun modpack and I used to play it back in B77 but eventually lost interest because it became too grindy for me. But making charcoal pits was really cool, much more interesting than just sticking a log into a furnace.

    Yeah I must've misread the wiki, it says using silk touch on the iridium ore block and putting it in a macerator yields two iridium ore (which is ore but not the ore block...weird). I might test if fortune works, but if it doesn't then silk touch is the plan. It's going to be a bit of an...

    If you could add one block what would it be... Get your block idea into my mod!

    No probs, yeah it's pretty crazy when GregTech comes up with something that's genuinely useful and doesn't involve nerfing :P

    If you could add one block what would it be... Get your block idea into my mod!

    That was actually in GregTech, would you believe it. I think it's called the Sonictron, and you use a remote control to play a record soundtrack wherever you want.

    Thanks guys! Yep it's Sphax with the Feed The Beast patch, it's pretty good. I actually have already found one iridium ore in a ravine, but I heard something about Fortune working on it so I haven't got it yet. I have enchanting up and running so I'll be getting a Fortune pick soon enough.

    Alright so the factory building is about 90% complete at the front now and it's looking much better after I started work on the roof. There is a lot of large glass sections but I'm not really concerned about it, the benefit of having the large windows at the front is that I can afford to have...

    Actually yeah spruce would be better than going with the regular oak wood. I rarely ever use spruce so I don't think of it, but that'd work.

    Yeah I reckon the pale look can be fixed, it just needs some accenting materials. I'm thinking maybe some sandstone or something similar on the outside would made decent highlights, or I could go darker with something else. Not sure yet because I've just been working on the structure itself and...

    Yesterday I tore down the old factory building because it was too similar to the one I built in my old world and wasn't interesting enough. The new one has taken a fair while to build so far and it's a long way off completion, but already it's looking far better and it's actually more functional...

    Gregtech is there, I just changed some config settings so it's a much less annoying mod: Bronze recipe gives original result of 4 ingots rather than being nerfed right down to 1 ingot. Tin cells give original result of 16 cells rather than 4. Original solar panel, windmill and watermill...

    Yeah I'm thinking of doing that, there's two other volcanoes that are uglier and I've been tearing one of them up. Not using the basalt just yet but I will be.
