    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    You're probably safe enough to ignore those nodes until your auto mining method of choice gets them for you. They're put in by Tech Reborn from what I can tell and both Platinum and Irridium are only used very late game in that mod (if you even bother climbing the hellish grind that is a...

    FTB question...

    Another reason for a server, if you can have a dedicated one that you join from another computer, is to have a persistent world. It keeps merrily chugging away even when you aren't actively playing as long as it's chunkloaded.

    For those wondering if steam can be stored in tanks...

    Actually I'd suspect nobody cares, none of the current mods really have any large volume steam producers or consumers (and the railcraft tanks you are talking about haven't yet made it to the current version) and any numbers you are getting from older versions are likely to change. So putting...

    Which Armor Set is Better: Emeradic or Flux-Infused?

    Flux Infused because it doesn't take dur damage, any of the top end armours will protect you well enough (even unenchanted) unless playing with Chaos Guardians so not having to ever worry about replacing\repairing your armour is nice.

    Waypoints don't work in the Nether.

    Considering it was 4 years ago, Unleashed hasn't been a current pack for a very long time and that some of the map mods mentioned don't even exist any longer, he probably doesn't care.

    Long range power transfer

    IE wires until you have the resources for the draconic relays.

    Power on Tinker's Construct tools

    Shit, I knew about sharpening kits but forgot to use them, mostly it's a habit from when sharpening kits didn't exist. The iron head is inertia really, early on I didn't have a magnet and the magnetic II was nice I just haven't got around to changing it and now that I mostly use Environmental...

    Power on Tinker's Construct tools

    I just took a stack of iron and a tool station with me everywhere in my tool bag(you do have a toolbag don't you? for all the tools that are handy to have on you but you don't use all the time), that's good enough for 'recharging' my iron headed Hammer and iron is the one resource you are very...

    Best material to start mining Cobalt? (TiC in DW20 1.10)

    I'd say that the 'best' non TiC tool would be the Actually Additions drill simply for the flexibility. If you prefer hand mining over running a quarry, which I do sometimes, having a 5x5 AA drill with silk touch or fortune depending on which module you have installed (or having silk...

    What are early game renewable power gen in DW20 1.10?

    Peat worked for me until I started running quarries, fullsize forestry peat bog provides enough to run 20 peat engines easily. And it is very easy to automate the renewable production of bog earth, you basically end up running your base on sand. 400 rf\t from the 20 enigines. When I needed more...

    Modern Retro Project - Impossibru?

    Heh pretty much the answer I was expecting to see, only place I've seen EE2 or Project E make perfect sense is on challenge maps. There it is a very valuable tool.

    Modern Retro Project - Impossibru?

    For the true 'Modern retro' experience you need Project E to replace Equivalent Exchange because it was one of the major mods in that era, whether you liked that style of play or you didn't :D

    Have you ever found "the perfect world"?

    For my taste, the world generated by the 'realistic' setting included by Quark is always perfect. Had 3 so far (they die due to to much lag or a stuff up somewhere) and they've all been a nice mix of terrain that I find appealing. For the server I just copy pasted the settings from the reddit...

    Frame quarry

    Might be an idea to check https://www.youtube.com/user/Nonsanity for a very indepth explanation of AE2 channels (it's his channel autoplay vid). Because other than the AE2 channel stuff it's all very easy to work out with an hour or two in a test world.

    Frame quarry

    If he didn't explain it thoroughly as he made it, it was likely one he was remaking so check for earlier seasons maybe. He's pretty good about his 'tutorials' being part of the reason for his lets play. But yeah which season?

    DW20 1.10 pack (latest update) Can't find Lapis.. anywhere :(

    Yeah I enjoy creating a complex system to perform a task, have to admit that some of the time I do just want a metric fuckton of X item so the less complex option is welcome. I was incorrect about IE though as you pointed out, however what is your definition of a "magic block" since there is...

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    That the Extra Utilities 2 manual mill doesn't require you to hold down right click, you click once and it continues until you move your viewpoint.

    DW20 1.10 pack (latest update) Can't find Lapis.. anywhere :(

    I liked the volcanos, built more than one base inside one of them over the years. I still think the basalt that Eloram implemented is the closest to real basalt, I have seen some nearly that dark however most of it is considerably bluer\greyer, the texture is right though it is a very close...

    DW20 1.10 pack (latest update) Can't find Lapis.. anywhere :(

    Most of the rewrites had "part" of what Redpower had, none had it all. I mean the world gen, logic circuits, machinery, frames, tubes system, sorting, blutricity it was a cohesive whole and worked together perfectly. Even the simple things like the sickle, flax and bags were just a tiny part of...

    DW20 1.10 pack (latest update) Can't find Lapis.. anywhere :(

    You won't want make 30 odd machines at once in the early game where you will want to make 30 odd greenhouse glass early game. Fairly sure all the RF mods are in the DW20 pack. Once again lapotron crystals are later game so post auto mining usually, and BC didn't use much mostly markers and...
