    Chunk Loader That Will Work With Frames

    World Anchors don't work if supplied with a Redstone Signal. Make sure that nothing touching them generates one. Even though Redstone Wire doesn't seem to connect to them, put cover strips along them to ensure that it doesn't connect.

    Epic Fail stories

    Waltzing through the nether having collected a reasonable amount of stuff plus carrying a lot of what I considered "essential" stuff. I also carry a few canvas bags and some of them carry quite a bit of stuff. Walk out on to a floating gravel platform and for some insane reason, I planted a...

    My Issue with Thaumcraft

    First up, I'd like to say that I think that Thaumcraft is a fantastic mod, and I think that version 3 is really pretty and gives you a lot of options and some fantastic toys. My issue is around the research, I think that it's a great idea and that it works really well, but my issue is that you...

    This is getting ridiculous.

    when you say 1,000 blocks in every direction, do you mean every direction? or just the points of the compass? I wanted to go looking for a mountain ridge, so I set off in one direction, hunting around, often flying (I had my gravisuit chestplate), using the expanded map to look for the tell...

    TC3 - other ways to heat a crucible?

    You could just build a fire bit around the crucible, that way it becomes a feature

    IC2 Help

    Power loss over Copper Cables in basic IC2 only kicks in after 5 blocks. If you make a lot of solar panels (assuming you have the mod installed), upgrade them to LV Solar Array (requires 8 Solar Panels, produces 8 EU/tick), you'll need to use Copper Cable to carry their output though.

    Redpower Quarry

    I've attached shots of my Tunnel Bore, I've made some minor adjustments to it since, but this design does work. The main changes are that it's now controlled by a wireless signal and I have a portal grid on the back so I can get to it no matter where it is. I also use a RC World Anchor, and...

    The most underused starting strategies?

    Gotta say, it's been interesting reading the way people start. Now that I've learnt enough lua to be dangerous with turtles, that's my plan of attack. I usually find a semi decent spot to start, sometimes it takes a few world gens, and my first home is literally a hole in the ground. I tend to...

    'Better than Quarry' auto mining set up....?

    Frame TBM's seem to be the rage these days, they travel horizontally and take out all of the resources as they go. If you run the DW20 Config, then you will need three (or one really tall one), Copper and Tin are at very specific levels. Here's the rough cost of a 9x9 Tunnel Bore. I didn't...

    Recipe Costs

    And it was wrong. I'm actually testing this properly now (I'm trying to create a gravsuit with the ingredients listed) This is question to anyone who does code and has written stuff around minecraft, I'm going to modify my code to work with recipes that provide multiple outputs, recipes that...

    Recipe Costs

    I didn't run the recipes with GregTech config, just IC2 and Gravitation Suite Mod. This means that the only way that you can get Iridium Ore is through UU Matter. I haven't checked my sums for this specific recipe, but given that it works for much of the other stuff, I don't think that it's...

    Recipe Costs

    OK, second attempt at this post. I think that I've finally got the left over stuff worked out now, so I reran the Gravitation Chestplate and HV Solar Array figures, here they are for those that are interested I was stuffing around with the request to work out the requirements for the...

    Recipe Costs

    I can see the idea behind this getting out of hand, but for the time being, I'm thinking of probably getting it up on the web, and then also working on a version that will exist as a mod. I would leave the web version up even if I do get it working as a mod. The advantage of a web version that...

    Inventory match

    I think you can do it with an item detector as well, you may have to use a few of them depending on how many items you require, and then group them with an AND gate.

    Recipe Costs

    @tehBlobLord - That was my thinking, NEI already has the recipes of everything in the game and so making this as an add on would be a good way of doing it. I'm still thinking of getting it "out there" asap if I can, so maybe a web app is a way to go. If I get something working, I'll see if I can...

    Recipe Costs

    Thanks for the feedback. I suppose that version 1 will probably be a web app, the reason I'm thinking of a mod is that it's an easy way to get all of the recipes into it. Right now, it's a lot of typing. @Omicron, that's the idea behind the leftovers section, I have a recursive function that...

    Recipe Costs

    Hi All I started writing a program today, that I hope to put into a mod. It basically calculates the cost of a recipe. For basic recipes, this is pretty useless, but I initially started thinking about it for the total cost of the Gravitation Chest Plate. I found a bug when calculating the...

    Turtles.

    And another one http://pastebin.com/cqmpRvuE - MrCervelo - Builds a Platform (Great for void worlds) - Takes two arguments, length and width, builds forward and right. Builds a platform of that size. Great for void worlds. Detects the block below it. If it's the same as the building block...

    Ender Storage

    I haven't tested this as I don't play SMP, but working on what I saw of DW20's video. In that he opened a chest that RichardG had locked, it showed his name in the top right hand corner of the chest gui. Can the other player see (and steal) stuff that you've placed in it? that's the key aspect...

    Mob spawning in Void Ages is normal, I build a drop trap in a void age to be able to get my soul shards working.
