    What mod makes it so difficult to find diamonds?

    In my experience diamonds are used LESS in modded minecraft since you don't have tools\armor which will break to eat them. I always end up with far more than I can easily use, sure IC2 will use a lot but it allows you to make them so it balances out, once you have auto mining and\or a nicely...

    Something The Modding Community "Ruined"

    And this right here is why even though I do prefer some aspects of TC2 I won't go back, I just love the golems far too much. Though you did list Taint as a con, to me taint was a major pro either do things right or lose your base and if you happened to have a natural taint field near where you...

    Something The Modding Community "Ruined"

    Seals, that is all. Though also eldritch, high tier research (TC3 gets to tier1.5-2 thereabouts according to Azanor, TC2 went to tier4), I personally liked the liquid vis system as feeding a crucible all of your mass overproduction from various sources and having huge stacks of tanks of lovely...

    The rebirth of IC2 ?

    Couldn't agree more being given the pieces and then designing a complex overengineered creation to do what you want was why RP2 still hasn't been equaled sure some parts of it have but the current best Frame replacement just does everything for you, no need to figure out where why and how to...

    Tinker's Construct - Essence Berry

    I'll keep using golems, the bushes are a smallish part of my dumb golem farm for pumpkins\melons\cotton, basically I just stuck them in the walls as an afterthought and was fairly surprised at the sheer volume of XP berries I had in my AE system after a while.

    Tinker's Construct - Essence Berry

    In which versions do the golems get killed? Running Natura 2.1 RC\TC 1.4 and Thaumcraft 3.0.5h, just put a block on top of the bushes and the golems do not walk into them, golems will try to path over bushes the same way they do cactus if the path is not blocked but harvesting from the side...

    The rebirth of IC2 ?

    Liquiducts, Liquiducts, Liquiducts, heh in the scenario I am talking about there are no liquiducts, only BC pipes. Take a look at your base and count the number of liquiducts\redstone energy tubes now remove them, take a look at your ore processing and it's footprint now replace all of that with...

    The rebirth of IC2 ?

    True but damn that thing is a right royal pita to automate and the throughput will not touch a quarry\other mass miners output.

    The rebirth of IC2 ?

    Unless you are willing to use UE (which frankly I'm not had too many bad experiences with ultra buggy, unfinished, horribly out of even anything resembling balance mods based around that) better get used to IC2 if you want ore processing in the very near future, TE has been given a lifespan and...

    Texture Bug with Modular Powersuits

    This issue can be sidestepped by turning off custom fonts in the MPS config, it will mess up the text in the tinker table but you can see the icons still. I would remove Optifine but sadly my poor old computer needs it to run MC at a playable framerate in a heavily modded environment. Also I...

    [MPS] How does this even happen?!

    It does if you repair not uncraft.

    [MPS] How does this even happen?!

    Just discovered that yes you can repair your MPS helmet, Twilight Forest taketh away and Twilight Forest giveth, the Uncrafting Table allows for MPS repair :D

    Share Your Tinker's Construct Tools!

    My first pick after the starter stone\wood ones is bronze head\blue or green slime handle\stone binding with diamond\redstone I later this becomes my Fortune pick by adding lapis, I also always make a Tool Forge as soon as I have 36 iron and I make a stone\wood hammer and excavator since they...

    Best tool for mining nether ores?

    Enough heatsinking and lava is a nice warm bath....... And if you have the addon for MPS it's also a fair way to recharge :D

    Best tool for mining nether ores?

    There is actually a refinement to this use saplings\cactus or another block that will automatically drop itself as an item, you get your mining material back with no effort at all.

    How can I get an aura node in an area without one?

    What I did, which was a slow and somewhat annoying process, was a chain of silverwoods, grow a couple where they will grow, give them a chance to generate an aura (I found that 3 will definitely give you an aura that will allow you to grow more), move a bit further and grow a few more, repeat...

    best way to get rid of flux

    In my most recent world I didn't have any aura where I set up my base the nearest was around 60 odd in any direction so all of the nodes I draw from are pure (and wasn't it a PITA growing the chain of trees to accomplish that) so flux is not something I'm worrying about at all, that said I am a...

    RC Steam Engines

    You can cook with it, the steam oven is actually not too bad at all quite fast and does 9 at a time for a large amount of steam sure but meh steam is fairly cheap.

    Best way to produce massive amounts of MJ mid-game ?

    "ludicrous mode" pretty good description of a full power, full of poop MFR treefarm. I was cheerfully running a 36LP on charcoal and a 27HP on biofuel with a considerable excess of both. I had my last one underground and wondered how I ended up with silverwood in my AE system when I was planting...
