    Hungry Nodes, how to recognize?

    You die. After imitating a yoyo and\or being thrown a couple dozen blocks in the air.

    About Optifine

    I used to use optifine constantly it was one of the utility mods that went into every pack I made, haven't felt any need for it in 1.6.4 (well not since I was pointed toward a no void fog, no dimming mod)

    1.8 Snapshot - Underground Biomes in Vanilla

    Almost every resource in Minecraft (vanilla or modded) is infinite if you are willing to put in the time to set up a system to gain it. Modded definitely moreso than vanilla but when you can play the game without being able to mine at all (original superflat, 3 layers of dirt over bedrock) and...

    MFR problems

    Also the vertical range once triggered by something in it's normal range is somewhere around 20 or 30 blocks, I had a harvester well underground but ti still cleared the surface.

    Forestry breeding not working

    I used 25 Apple Oak pollen before I got something forget exactly what it was (I trashed all the saplings for whatever it was accidentally lol) so it is random but meh if you want the willow for something specific go for it. My biomass factory trees are Common Walnuts (with the Mundane Larch leaf...

    Why do people like Thermal Expansion so much?

    That is something I do like about these forums, the mods are sensible. They don't shut down a thread because it has a few off-topic posts or even when an off-topic discussion lasts for several posts (they do when the main discussion is finished and it's all off-topic though :D), they don't jump...

    Forestry breeding not working

    It's possibly bugged but I just bred Wenge took about 30 or so to get it, I previously had to breed the acacia it took 20 or so, random chance is random. I think it was Plum that I got on the first cross or maybe Balsa one of them anyway.

    Forestry Alveary Stabiliser Mechanics?

    I can definitely see the use for this if you are using vanilla forestry breeding methods, especially when trying to make your breeding stock as good as possible before getting the mutation (my base stock is currently nocturnal, flyer, cave, long life, normal production, fast pollination all...

    Thermal Expansion 3.0!!! No More Beta! Thanks KL!

    The reactant dynamo is great I'm using Ghast tears (reason to build an MFR ghasty auto-spawner) with biomass (reason to breed up a "super" tree) much more involved and fun than to spam a bunch of lava eaters\charcoal eaters (which is a valid method of power but somewhat boring).

    Portal to the deep dark

    Yeah there are but they are fairly uninteresting as well they are very convoluted and once you've cleared 2 or 3 you really don't need anymore dungeon loot, there are also some bedrock structures that have chests with good loot (emeralds\diamonds\gold being the main ones) overall it's a not very...

    Portal to the deep dark

    It is all cobblestone, roof and floor, there are odd pillars of cobble here and there, it's dark, the mobs are stronger than normal, the darkness itself will eat you, the terrain is incredibly monotonous, overall it's boring, dangerous and the only reason to go there is to maybe mine a bit (due...

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    The other points are good but I built in the middle of a lake so the squidfarm isn't required for me, anytime I run out a quick swim and I have a stack or so of sacs. Yeah the research can be addictive, TC3+ has had that ... just one more research ..just one more ... 2 hours later lol This is...

    1.8 Snapshot - Underground Biomes in Vanilla

    I'm kinda hoping the modded scene stays on 1.6.4 for a while longer I can't really see any of the current vanilla content being "oh must have" and the mods themselves are getting a level of polish that hasn't been seen iirc since 1.2.5. Heh just realised something afaik any mod thread on the...

    Modular Powersuits out of fashion?

    I have insane movement boost via TC4\TT, Thaumostatic harness with Haste III gives the fastest flight (other than a stripped down speed demon MPS) I have had, TT Ascent Boost on the legs gives an insane jump ability when combined with Boots of the Traveler (I'm talking 10-15 blocks height easily...

    Why do people like Thermal Expansion so much?

    Heh Jaded's "supercomputer required" bases are fairly well known :) There is another reason why some people might like TE, the Mod author well the known member of the team, is active and approachable on various forums and via various forms of electronic communication and is very timely in...

    Why do people like Thermal Expansion so much?

    I personally like several things about TE, the main one being the ability to have very fine control over everything. You can use TE to setup either very simple effective systems or very complex highly effective systems and there is the potential to make certain scarce resources less scarce via...

    Thermal Expansion 3.0!!! No More Beta! Thanks KL!

    I'm really enjoying the Dynamo's their output makes perfect sense to me since I have a couple of fairly large users of power (Laser Drill\Enh Portals 3) I am having a bit of trouble feeding the reactants (80 installed, 40 in intermittant use) with biomass, since my stupid bloody trees refuse to...
