    Blood Magic and Steve's Factory Manager

    I have been doing some more tinkering on my blood altar. I have the rituals of regen and feathered knife beneath my altar but more importantly for the purposes of this thread I have expanded my Steve's Factory Manager set up and found new and interesting uses. I also finally worked out my own...

    Gendustry - adding custom bees

    That looks to be the comment an inspired modpack/map maker. Mad with glee maybe :rolleyes:

    Thaumcraft 4 Ichor help

    This thread might help. The gist of it seems to be that you have to unlock all the hidden researches and then you seem to unlock Kami research after that.

    How Many Storeys does Your Base Have?

    The light they emit is secondary to their effect on mob spawns. They will stop natural spawns no matter what the light level is in their area of effect (something like a 32 - 64 block radius). They don't prevent forced spawns though so you can still run mob spawners! You can use other blocks...

    How Many Storeys does Your Base Have?

    Which modpack are you using? I normally bury my magnum torches underground. Another thing that prevents mob spawns is force bricks from Dartcraft. I love those things. Dartcraft isn't in many modpacks unfortunately, so you may not have that one. I think chisel is in at least some of the FTB...

    What is RF?

    Using the same methodology as with the bigger conduits, the "no-internal-threshold" rule applies in a similar way across all conduits. I tested it a bit further with leadstone conduits to be sure. My test involved 3 leadstone cells feeding into 6 pulverisers. It takes awhile to fill the...

    How Many Storeys does Your Base Have?

    You go big don't you :D. This isn't a bad reason to necro a thread by the way, you are adding something to your own thread in fairness. If you want to though, you might consider posting future updates in this thread at the community showcase where people often share and comment on base designs...

    hoppers wont dump ores into pulverizer

    If you want, you can use a third party image hosting site (I use imgur) to upload your screenshots. Then copy and paste the picture from that site to here. That usually gets around the problem for me. I would recommend putting the image inside a spoiler though because the images can be quite big.

    hoppers wont dump ores into pulverizer

    A screenshot always helps when you are asking these questions. However, it is likely to be one of these things Is the hopper output connected to the machine (shift click the face of the machine you wish to output to when placing the hopper, or wrench it after placing) Is the machine face set...

    What is RF?

    A buffer of energy is indeed stored up in conduits, but I don't think that is related to the amount of energy that can be transferred. My understanding goes that if you have 20000 RF/t going into the network spread over at least 2 connections then you will be able to take 20000 RF/t out (spread...

    What is RF?

    I thought that the R.conduits transfer limit on a per connection basis, so unless you have a particular producer or acceptor that requires a transfer of more than 10000 rf/t you will be fine. My understanding goes that the network as a whole doesn't mind how much energy is going through it at...

    Blood Magic and Steve's Factory Manager

    I am thinking just a 1*1*2 or a 2^3 boiler so I won't be too upset turning it off. The only reason I am thinking about boilers is that I could potentially get more RF per Lava crystal (I already have three of those and I don't want to be crafting loads more).

    Blood Magic and Steve's Factory Manager

    I have a few of those but I am using them in metallurgy machines. I am embarrassingly low-tech :) I found some ender lilies so I will be getting pearls soon so I can do a bit of Thaumcraft infusion. I want to get some nice Thaumcraft tools and then go mining and start techmods later. I will...

    Blood Magic and Steve's Factory Manager

    I have some Ghast tears now so I can more reliably set up regen systems. The feathered knife/regen combo is also very high on my list of priorities. It just feels strange getting this far into blood magic for me because still I do not have an iota of power generation in RF or MJ. Blood magic...

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    I do like your Ars room. Cherry wood is one of my favourite building materials. Perhaps you know this already but Chisel glass also works inside carpenter's blocks. It might make the roof to the Ars room even better.

    What's new in modded minecraft today?

    It is interesting to see Openeye being mentioned here as a valuable tool for rooting out bugs. EDIT: Good to see it already being used for the purpose it was designed for.

    Blood Magic and Steve's Factory Manager

    I have just thought of a work around for AE autocrafting with blood magic. It is just a theory so I don't know how it will work in practice but here goes. It requires a mod like remoteIO or TT transvector interface so you can have multiple points of extraction from the altar (one for each...

    Blood Magic and Steve's Factory Manager

    Thanks for the suggestion. I nearly have a full set of self-sacrifice runes (one short, but I have the slates, just need the glowstone). I also put ~17 buckets of life into a buildcraft tank but that proved to be useless. To be honest though I feel a bit foolish moving further forward with blood...

    Blood Magic and Steve's Factory Manager

    That seems like a good idea too. I think I have the research (I am doing it while waiting for my health to regen a lot) but I probably don't have the resources. Also, it looks like I am going to have to take a closer look at your guide @Padfoote . I was considering the runes of dislocation to...

    Blood Magic and Steve's Factory Manager

    Padfoote has already answered this, but I would just like to confirm that his answer is correct. Since posting this, I have expanded my SFM program to include reinforced slates. I modified the original program to include a redstone conditional (and made another program almost exactly the same...
