    [Infinity] Favourite tools/armour/gadgets/thingies?

    It's interesting, and a fair few of the baubles and items do some unique things, the real challenge is getting a reasonable mana production system going. The early flowers are either hideously underpowered, or difficult to automate (with the exception of the thermalillies). It's possible, but...

    Funny Ender Chests

    Vanilla ender chests are tied to the person accessing them at the time. You can have two different people accessing the same chest at the same time, and each having their own inventory. I'm honestly not sure what the effect would be if AE tried to access it. To OP, I'm aware that it seems like...

    Funny Ender Chests

    Are the two using the same inventory? Are they one the same combinations? Are both of the locks yellow? If you place them one next to the other, do they both open at the same time?

    Funny Ender Chests

    ... that doesn't answer the question I asked. Did you make the ender chests yourself, or get them as a reward/stolen from someone else/etc.?

    [Infinity] Favourite tools/armour/gadgets/thingies?

    Depends on what I'm doing. TiCo is fairly universal, which is a bonus. If I'm on botania, then there's a fairly major reason to go down that route, similarly, if I've got a decent RF setup, jetpacks and Arsenal tools abound. As far as things that transcend that schema, I don't think that there...

    Funny Ender Chests

    Quick note, how did you get the chests? If you crafted both by hand, ignore this. Something that I noticed while playing TolkeinCraft was that some of the reward chests had the diamond on the lock (making their combination private to the person that placed the diamond), which means that only...

    Best Way To Power A Quarry?

    There was another flaw to your maths, in that the 2-long precharger issue would apply on all sides, so the functional area you could have is only 60x60. No sure whether you could put mining beams through pre-charging beams. This could be a slightly interesting optimisation problem. There'll be...

    Botany entropeniummmm... The explosion flower thing

    Could you imagine getting a return on it proportional to the size of the explosion, then dropping a nuke onto it? You'd still probably get radiation, but also a *ton* of mana.

    Bug Ender quarry trolling me ...

    As far as I know, the ender quarry isn't like it's older, dumber cousin. If it's not got anywhere to put the stuff, it won't mine it. I'd probably ask for screenshots of the setup, and ask stupid questions like "You've not put the trash can filter next to the quarry"?

    Curse Client released?

    As far as I am aware, the Curse Voice client has simply taken the place of the launcher 2.0, and, presumably it's taken over the release date of Soon (The one copyrighted by Valve). It is supposed to more feature-ful, but it is worth noting that it is also intended to be a part of a greater...

    Mod question

    I would like to add that Ars Magica 2 does add some worldgen, which is going to have a few effects, the first being that you won't be able to start without going to some previously ungenereated land (where it can create the ores and essence pools it requires). The second might be that the...

    Server questions... where to post?

    Ok, first off, as far as I am aware, TeamSpeak is a voice chat application rather than a network virtualisation one. It's not something I use often, so there may be a facet that I'm unaware of, though. As far as running servers go, I'm assuming that you have a direct internet connection (as...

    Thinking about making an guide for "noobs"

    A guide would be helpful, but I would like to make a few points. 1. I would steer clear of bundling an FTB diagnostics guide with a guide to overclocking. If you want to make two, and link from one to the other, you're welcome to, but I'd advise separation of purpose. 2. Keep in mind who the...

    Links of the Modpacks

    The modpacks are accessed through the launcher (download link on main site). If you need a server, you go through the launcher, select the pack, and click "download server".

    Content/Cross-Mod Compatibility in Forge/A Forge Sister-Mod?

    Absolutely, but that destroys the point of Forge. Forge is fundamentally, an enabler. There isn't (as far as I know) anything that stops people doing anything. Nothing that detracts from the game. When you start mandating tools and optimisations, you start detracting from other parts of the...

    Content/Cross-Mod Compatibility in Forge/A Forge Sister-Mod?

    I like coming back to this thread, every time I do, the arguments have changed. At this point (again), it comes down to 2 issues. The first of which is the original one you wanted to tackle, and I think it's the reason that you've gotten as much opposition. The core of your argument is that you...

    Infinity 1.4.0 Pams Salt removed?!

    Not necessarily pointless, there are many that enjoy making the wide variety of food available to it. In my view, there's a lot of "spam" in that mod (recipes, plants, etc.) which gets in the way of other gameplay, which is why I tend not to worry massively about adding it to my own packs, but I...

    Content/Cross-Mod Compatibility in Forge/A Forge Sister-Mod?

    Is there any particular reason you'd tap the Forge team specifically? You have things like COFH core which does the oregen, is there any reason to make a separate mods to do the same job? To be honest, we are, essentially, consumers speculating about the producer's tactics. Like the fans saying...

    Big Reactors : Smallest self sustaining?

    The only place I've seen the steel requirement was Agrarian Skies, so I'm not sure whether it was part of the mod, or Jaded making things irritating. The bees are probably closer to what the mod's intended to be, requiring a lot of effort to get to. The point behind the nerf was that the MFR...

    Big Reactors : Smallest self sustaining?

    I believe that his point was that they otherwise eclipsed all other forms of generation. They're not exactly expensive (regular iron, and a few stacks of coal), and the fact that MFR can make them self-sustaining, rather than requiring a supply of mined materials means that you would just build...
