So after probably 10 days of constant checking and finding no problems, I notice my EBF is shut off earlier than expected from cooking up a stack of Tungsten ingots. "Screws are missing". Lovely. I break out my screwdriver, fix it, whack the EBF with my wooden hammer and - no doubt whatsoever...

The "Dimensional Transceiver", basically. You have to supply it with power in order to transfer items, fluid and power to remote locations, I think that's where the "HV-ish methods" comes from. There are probably other methods but that's the one I'm focused on since I've finally constructed a...

Happy New Year! And of course... whoops. LOL This is a friendly reminder to all players - check you muffler hatches and don't do what I did, which was being lazy and keep using the LV Muffler Hatches because they were the cheapest to make back when Muffler Hatches didn't matter. Now they do...

I never made it to the solar recipes... I got as far as "Superconducting Wire" and just sorta sat there staring at NEI and drooling, lost in dreamland. :D

I'm processing Bauxite to make Titanium, and I happened to notice there's a Pulverizer recipe to get a Gallium Dust (10% chance) from centrifuged Bauxite so naturally I took advantage of that... but I'm unsure what Gallium is best used for? It sounds important tho, and I do see a...

Confirmed, still works that way, my Miner grabbed some Oilsand ore blocks today. But I consider them junk, throw-away, once you get an Oil Drilling Rig set up over a good deposit, that thing just pumps a pretty much infinite amount, it's way more than my basic 2-Distillation Tower setup can...

Yay, and what a coincidence, when my Advanced Miner II blew up this morning, I had just set it up directly over a Bauxite vein, so I could make Titanium, so I could make the Large Diesel Generator. Who's blaming anybody? Shouldn't we be thanking them instead? :-) I suppose an "honest"...

I meant to put that into my post, silly me. Yes, I had a cobblestone cover over the Miner that is 5x5 so it extends one block farther than the 3x3 footprint. It wasn't due to rain, trust me. The reason I knew it had blown up was because I was playing another game with FTB running in the...

So my Advanced Miner II just blew up, vaporizing nearly the entire thing along with a Bedrockium Drum full of Drilling Fluid. Lovely. Explosions, yes okay, but vaporizing blocks? No, that's not right. Anyhow, I'm curious what happened. I was alerted to the event by an achievement, I think...

It irks me that building with wood blocks can cause such heartache, which results in "smart" players being forced into using ugly cobblestone for all early-game builds. One of my most memorable play-thrus of a modpack ended up similar to this poor fella's...

Thanks for the good discussion, and yeah I probably inject too much drama into my posts. It's probably a slight aspergers thing or something like that, I dunno. :) I just always wonder - when things don't seem to add up to me, what's the real story behind the story? I admit, I did not know...

I guess either nobody cares, or nobody knows anything. Or else nobody visits this forum anymore. Is my post too provacative perhaps? Is this a touchy subject? I would think it probably is, but I don't care.

Read this and comment please. So modders get paid by Curse? Where is the money coming from? Curse's advertising revenues? Do they even have ads on their site? I've never seen any. https://www.reddit.com/r/feedthebeast/comments/5j67c9/curse_account_compromised_help_me_encourage_curse/ I...

I don't use a wrench to turn the hopper, altho that's probably the "correct" method. But most people direct the output of the hopper when they place the hopper. You do that by which item you point it towards as you place it. Test it out and you'll soon understand what I mean. I think you...

Looks like I have 3 Nvidia options all spaced 200 dollars apart, the GTX 1060, 1070 and 1080, with the 1070 basically being an "equal" to my 4-year-old GTX690 (which was obviously a beast back then similar to today's Titan). So my step up is the $650 GTX1080 and that's pretty pricey for me now...

so it looks as if my 4-year-old video card has gone and died on me, how rude of it! i'm going thru minecraft withdrawl (hey, isn't a minecraft gaming addiction much better than an addiction to drugs or alcohol?) what is the minimum requirement to play modded minecraft? my one attempt to fire...

Thanks for that, seems like the best instruction guide I've seen by far. But this part is sad to me: "AND this is why you MUST ALWAYS grow on swamp biome, because it has the highest hydration, and thus can support the highest quality of seeds without the need for further fertilizer and...

I got one Argentia and one Coppon plant, but both are one stage short of fully mature. Is this where I need an ore block underneath the tilled soil? Is that how to get the plant to finish it's growth?

Yes that is my understanding. Once your field is filled with "good" plants, no weeds can get in. Weeds can only appear on the empty crops. So now I've got some cross-breeds, but I'm not sure how to proceed. If I right click the plant, I don't get any seeds to make more of them, and if I left...

Sorry to hear that bud, IC2 strikes again (half-hearted laugh). You gotta be like the Six Million Dollar Man in this modpack, "we can rebuild him, faster, and better than he was before!" Am I dating myself at all by quoting a 1970's hit TV show? LOL How are you using your scanner? I haven't...
