    [1.7.10] Material Energy^4

    Generally, it's not the most efficient of designs, you get more RF per yelloruim, and I had to move it anyway (or keep running back and forward with energy cells, which did not appeal). That's acutally a good idea. I've not used minechem massively before, so don't really know what to do with it...

    [1.7.10] Material Energy^4

    No worries. The lack of easy farm automation makes renewable energy tricky. In order to work it, you need to have some form of auto-crafting alongside it for the tools for the auto-farmer. There's no easy resource of lava or wood to get from anywhere, as far as I can tell (only just got the...

    [1.7.10] Material Energy^4

    I probably can when I get back from work, but it's a relatively simple design. The shell is 7x7x7 (5x5x5 internal), and the internal structure looks like this (top down): C C C C C C F C F C C C F C C C F C F C C C C C C Where C is cryotherm, and F is fuel rod. This uses about 4 more fuel rod...

    [1.7.10] Material Energy^4

    I'm currently running on a rejigged reactor (7x7x7, 5 rods in a X shape), which seems to be giving enough for the moment. Probably going to look into automatic/renewable power, but I'm not sure where to go with that. There's wood/charcoal or probably some manner of culinary generator, but...

    Taking a look in FTB again. 1.7 Worth?

    Not quite the themed pack, but you could try one of the HQM packs. Material Energy^4 seems to be the major one at the moment that's actually out for 1.7.10, but I think others will be following shortly. I find that they add a little purpose and direction, and help to get you to try some other...

    [1.7.10] Material Energy^4

    Incidentally, not sure if it's intended but ztones seem to be a good source of carbon nanotubes (along with a whole load of iron). That's how I got my polytool, tearing down a few of the structures in the Biosphere. It seemed a little on the easy side, but I wasn't going to argue at that point...

    Charging my Flux Tool while mining?

    For info, it's been asked before. It is, technically, a bug, but it's not one that Tinkers or TE can fix without a massive amount of effort, as it's a behavior in vanilla (basically re-equipping an item if it increases the damage value), which interrupts the mining process. Best bet is to use...

    What are you trying to capture with it? Does it work the time you put it down, but not afterwards? Does it have somewhere to go? I've found that it only works on block update, which the Blood Magic rituals didn't do (which scuppered my lava gen, initially). That can be solved by putting an EB...

    Is the fluiduct full of lava? That would imply that it doesn't have anywhere to go (meaning that the tesseract doesn't have a valid destination, or your stores are full).

    Very good hammer.. That's fast and lasts long?

    I may be messing up with the mining levels there (unless you aren't wanting to mine nether ores, and a diamond will add what you need to). The modifier provided by paper, with redstone on it outstrips the speed gain by cobalt in pretty much all parts.

    Very good hammer.. That's fast and lasts long?

    A few extra points in addition to this: - If you use RF, and keep a capacitor in your hotbar, the tool life question can become moot. - If you're going down that route, replace the cobalt, obsidian and manyullyn with paper, the Flux takes the place of the moss in the current setup, and the...

    Need a method of teleporting cows.

    If you're wanting a complete system, I would reccomend: A fenced area with conveyors pushing the cows into a 1x1 area. An autonomous activator pointing at that 1x1 area, with itemducts leading in and out (the in ones with an empty safari net whitelisted, out ones with an empty net blacklisted)...

    Would diskdefrag mess up ftb??

    Have had a few, ad they last a couple of years of reasonable use. Them and the WD ones (mine were before the colours) are the ones I use. I would also point out that the whole defrag thing is a little old thinking. Windows 7 handles that automatically fairly well. The few cases I've seen of...

    Anyone use JABBA? I have a question about upgrades?

    They are requirements to get to level 7. You have to add the structural upgrades sequentially, and I don't think you can add more than one of each type.

    Actually, for a few updates now, princesses include "generations bred" in their data, so no two in AS are the same. They don't even stack in AE. It's a pain.

    You don't need the Enter the Nether quest (or I didn't, at least). And I was referring to the on in Learning to Skyblock, which has the requirements of soulsand, glowstone and ender pearl, and might have something to do with the dolls.

    Have you done the soulsand/glow stone/ender pearl quest? Otherwise there might be some other hidden way to unlock it.

    My tip would be to make your platform, plant your first tree, and bonemeal it. That should tell you where the tree grows, and where to put your activators. It should always grow in that pattern.

    Agrarian Skys help, venting, and discussion thread

    You can do. Given the sizes they grow to, I can't say that I'd bother. Simply placing one activator with saplings, and one with bonemeal (which, unless I'm mistaken, you are probably swimming in at this point), you soon have more than you will ever need. I think I had 4 or 5 singularities from...

    Hint: Bloodwood trees drop redstone on harvest, and a sapling, placed in the same place and bonemealed will always grow on the SAME 4 blocks, and can be harvested with a harvester. That's how I was running my redstone gens a while back. Also, Blood Magic is really very useful on the map...
