    I find that fences are unreliable for keeping animals in. I've started using cobble with a slab on top as a better solution.

    I got the 13 cubed from here -> http://ftbwiki.org/Bound_Pickaxe From what I understand though, as I had some 30,000 LP in my network, right clicking with the shovel shouldn't have killed me. Maybe I'll try again, I'll shove a heap of LP into the network and try again. Do enchants on the...

    Beginner's Guide to Blood Magic

    OK, so how do the bound tools work? I've tried using an axe and a shovel, and with a left click (while activated) they don't seem any different compared to other tools except for not having durability. Right click just seems to kill me. The first time I used the axe, I hadn't done much with...

    Well I just spent my time rather unproductively. For those that don't want to read the whole fun and games that I've just had. Here's what I'm driving towards. Error messages when trying to either place a ritual, and you can't for whatever reason (insufficient ritual stones, insufficient space)...

    Use as many different types of seed/sapling/whatever as possible. If you use 9, you get significantly more fuel and it runs for longer. From memory I used oak saplings birch saplings pumpkin seeds melon seeds potatoes carrots brown mushroom red mushroom wheat seeds The I just let it run.

    Beginner's Guide to Blood Magic

    I was thinking a bit about this, I raised in this thread that it was annoying in the crafting recipes, that you couldn't use a higher tier orb. What if you upgraded the orbs instead? So you craft the weak one by throwing in a diamond, then to make the next tier up, you craft that with an...

    Yep, that was the problem. Too many orbs, I thought that I had my master blood orb in there, but I only had my magician's. I only discovered that to be the case when I went to craft some more blood shards. Yep, I was doing something dumb.

    Beginner's Guide to Blood Magic

    OK, I tested and confirmed, I had about 13,000LP in the network, and it didn't work, I upped it to 20,000 and still nothing. I tried removing and adding back in to see if that would help, still nothing. I also tried to make the average lengthening catalyst which had the same problem. I could...

    Assuming your referring to my post, I'll have another check to ensure that I'm not doing anything dump like insufficient LP in the network. From memory it was fine, but I might be wrong. I can't check tonight (it's just gone 8am here) so I'll see if I can check tomorrow morning.

    Still on 1.0.1c, I can't craft the average (middle tier) power catalysts. I two of the weak ones (bottom tier) and the standard binding agent, there is sufficient LP in my network, and I'm using a Magicians Blood Orb, it just doesn't start to brew.

    In my first play through (uncomplete) I got ardite and cobalt gravel from sifting soul sand, since the update, nothing, so I assume that it's been nerfed. Since then, the only way I got cobalt or ardite is from the mining laser or from mining in the nether. Side question, how does the Ender...

    You can use an auto enchanter to combine books, and that runs of mob essence.

    I'm running 1.0.1c, so if this bug is fixed in later versions, this post can be ignored. When shift clicking items out of the Alchemic Chemistry Set, it will duplicate and place it in one of the input slots.

    A couple of things from what I can remember about about your documentation in the thread for BM. This is where I can remember having problems. They all relate to the divining rod to create rituals. It isn't spelt out in the thread that you need to have ritual stones in your inventory when using...

    I ended up not bothering with the Big Reactors for Steam. Right now, I'm running two reactors, one 7x7x5 and one 9x9x4 which between them are producing about 20k rf/t. I copied my world so that I could stuff around with the reactors in steam mode and turbines, and I can see that it's a very...

    Chestnuts. They're not that hard to get, chuck them in a manual forestry treefarm with an orchard setup, and you'll get a heap of them. They give about 0.220 oil/nut, so you only need about 800 or so of them.

    Right now, I have two quests to complete in the Hoarding quest line, cobble and dirt. I've got just over half the cobble (about 23M) and about half the dirt (300 odd thousand). I slightly stuffed up on the purple madness, I was working towards 100 buckets of manyullyn, I plugged a full ender...

    You're right. I know that I pointed out ages ago to someone else complaining about something being OP or something that they didn't have to use it. I should have thought of that as well. Given the huge number of bees that are available in general, having something like Gendustry does actually...

    I'm doing some serious bee work, and while I really like the fact that Gendustry makes it all a heap easier (I never really progressed too far with bees in the past because the RNG just got too annoying when trying to breed). That said, Gendustry is just OP. If you want a bee breed, you can...

    definitely needs to be 2 deep. It doesn't need to be particularly big, mine is only 9x9 or something, but I suspect that something smaller would still work. I seem to remember DW and Pahimar seeing them in the 1x1 waterfall on the home sweet home map.
