    computers to run ftb decently

    If you still have the base amount of RAM, upgrade it, get it to at least 2Gb, preferably higher. That will make a huge difference. You should be able to get a RAM upgrade pretty cheap.

    What is a block creepers can't explode

    I thought that basalt was sufficient. I've seen creepers blow up on volcanoes and not cause any damage, not sure if basalt cobblestone is sufficient or not. Anyone in a position to test?

    computers to run ftb decently

    @OP, are you on a desktop or laptop? What CPU do you have currently? What Video Card? How much RAM? If you answer these questions, people may be able to suggest an improvement to your current hardware that is possible for $300 (what currency?). I'm running on an old desktop, but it wasn't...

    Tree farms

    You can use BC Logic Gates, they have a check for Soil < 25%, so it will turn on automatically when there is less than 1 stack of Humus in your tree farm.

    XyCraft

    I'm afraid I don't completely get the Fire Brick thingy, I placed one in creative, and it did nothing, I attached a lever and flicked it and it did nothing. I think that it's a block that you can set on fire and it will burn constantly, can someone confirm? Thanks

    The most underused starting strategies?

    Actually, I thought of one that I'm using a bit right now. Iron Furnaces They are an upgrade from a standard Furnace costing 5 iron, but they improve the efficiency of the furnaces. You can process 10 items (instead of 8) for a piece of coal/charcoal. Early on, it does add up.

    Forestry 2.0-why?

    Steve's Carts can do Netherwart, there is a module upgrade that you can add to allow it to process it.

    Damn Creepers

    Sorry, I'm going to be cruel and say "Your Fault" Yes, creepers suck, but there is a pretty basic rule that you should always consider when creepers are a possibility. Don't leave stuff in the open. I've just started a new game, and yes I did leave chests around, yes it was a risk, but I've...

    Why i hate Xycraft

    I'm waiting to see all of the features before I pass final judgement. Pro tip, for the crystals, if you have one in your inventory, and shift click a crystal with a different id out of an inventory, it will stack with the crystal you already have.

    No blazerods? Try this!

    Is it an exploit? yes, is it bad? well, that depends. I play SSP, and I used it to get some blaze rods early game, it also meant that I didn't have to hunt blazes. But here's the thing Nobody is forcing you to use this. Don't like it? don't use it? I often used the iron-> ender pearl...

    Can't get rid of a turtle autostart program

    Do you have a disk drive next to the turtle? If there is a file called startup on a disk in a drive next to the turtle, then it will run that as well. Also, check the following location for the file on your local PC <MinecraftHome>/saves/<WorldName>/computer/<computerID>/startup The...

    Non-renewable Items?

    Personally, I think that there are some items that, despite being non-renewable, are effectively unlimited. First of all, let's assume that you're playing Vanilla. Then cobblestone is infinite as you can create a cobblestone generator, but off the top of my head, you can't create dirt. So on...

    Recipe Costs

    Hi Magic Oreo No, not yet released. My likely biggest hang up is going to be extracting the recipes.

    The most underused starting strategies?

    That's kinda the problem that I have, typically when I start, I don't necessarily think about where I want my base, just somewhere to start digging down to get the resources, end result is that I often have a few chests for storage by the time I want to actually build a base, so I'm then not...

    Recipe Costs

    Long Term, I'd like to make it a mod so that it can be used in-game, but even if I get that far, I'd still like to make it an online thing. The reason why, is that if it's outside of the game, then you can use it to make a shopping list of items to see their cost, this would be useful so you can...

    Recipe Costs

    Hi jf5, I don't have access to MC at the moment (at work), and the Steve's Carts Wiki that I found doesn't have all of the required ingredient list, so I can't give you an answer on that anyway. Right now, the only way that I can get information into my app is to manually type in the...

    Recipe Costs

    Does anyone know how to extract recipe and item details from minecraft and mods? My newer version is nearly at a point where it will need to have all of the recipes, machines, items and mods in a way that it can handle the information. I haven't worked out how I'm going to store that...
