    Best TC Tools

    yup. and bedrock tools are awesome, particularly the axe. took it into the twilight forest, it makes very short work of anything. mainly due to its LARGE clearance radius. pick comes w/ silktouch already on it. sword has +12 attack, sharpness V, looting V on it. armor comes preloaded with one...

    AE2 Discussion

    mod looks interesting from DW20s spotlights. ill agree with whoever mentioned throwing the crystal seeds into a puddle sounds off. even just tossing them in a vanilla cauldron filled with water makes more sense. a specialized tank type machine is even better, i don't get the impression that...

    Best way to start A new world.

    im on the Monster pack, and my advice is thus: first few days just vanilla stuff, pick a cave or something to build up a base. get a farm going. mine. pick 2-4 mods and get their basics. for me ive gone Tinkers, TE. this lets me get tools, basic doubling, smelting that doesn't burn up my coal...

    Horizons 2.1 RotaryCraft-Extractor not enough power

    right now I have a gas engine running through a multi-clutch and two 16x gearboxes, one speed, one torque. clutch is connected to a 1 minute timer. shortly going to upgrade that gas engine to my solar tower and change over to a project red timer and set for 2-3 minutes. @Hardchlor. 5x...

    Rotary Craft Extractor Setup's

    im moving up in the world. have a smallish solar tower 7 pieces, 20 mirror. planning on running it to my grinder (already done), magnetizer (through a 4x gearbox I have laying around), and extractor. excess will charge an industrial coil. extractor first through. need to upgrade past the gas...

    Any point mining Uranium any more?

    Big ones in monster pack are Big Reactors and Reactorcraft. for the latter, even a modest pebblebed or 2x2 "normal" generate a LOT of power.

    Nether changes... ridiculous!

    more irritating for me is two things 1) random explosions, especially when in a tunnel. 2) do blazes spawn naturally in this MC version? and other than randomly walking around, how do I find a bloody fortress? and yes, I agree nether quartz shouldn't be affected by the nether ores changes.

    Rotarycraft Obsidann Factory, Full Chest <1min

    its the newer one, the gas-cooled pebble bed. 8 boilers, one CO2 exchanger, probably the core is to the left of the exchanger, where the concrete blocks are.

    Rotary Craft Extractor Setup's

    Im still early-game, running my extractor off a gas engine, boosted by an AC in stages 1/4. @lucariomaster, 1 gas engine, two 16x gearboxes, and a multiclutch will get you the bare minimum processing speeds. my next step is probably going to be cleaning up the mess I made when building it...

    Feed The Beast Monster - Best Starting Power?

    try a culinary generator. all you need for that is a moderate sized farm with something fast growing and/or gives multiple items per plant. I run mine off wheat (monster lets me have a 1:1 ratio) and sweetcorn.

    Water in Nether

    that would be a bug then. awesome it may be, it must be squashed!!

    Water in Nether

    do you need liquid water or just water for machines? former Im not terribly sure of, but there are plenty of ways to pipe it over. if you have monster pack, and arnt to tesseract stage, bring buckets over manually. the rotarycraft dewpoint aggregator works in the nether, not sure if aqueous...

    Feed The Beast Monster - Best Starting Power?

    for starting off, RF power, I have a culinary generator running off bread and sweetcorn from magic crops. runs the furnace/smelter/pulverizer nicely. for rotarycraft, steam engines will be your workhorse engines early on until you get fuel production automated.

    What do you eat?

    potatoes. simple, easy, and plentiful. wheat and sweetcorn (magic crops) are now there to feed a culinary generator, which keeps up nicely with a pulverizer, furnace, and induction smelter.

    How to start RotaryCraft?

    4 SEs. and 1 steam engine cant run 4 grinders at anything near a decent rate. grinder requirements: 4096 W @ 128 Nm steam engine: 16.384 kW @32 Nm torque requirement is 4x higher. drop the speed by 4x as well in the gearbox, and you have a very slow grinder. chain 4, you have...

    How to start RotaryCraft?

    well ive been continuing on my little journey into the mod. separate, I have a small TE setup with a culinary generator, hardened energy cell, and the pulverizer/furnace/smelter. I have an aqueous accumulator feeding water to the steam engines and extractor. 5 steam engines right now, 4 for...

    Tinkers Construct - Having trouble making stuff!

    yea, that bit is annoying, the outline for each is the same. I find I like TC a lot. near infinite customization. two picks, an excavator, and lumber axe so far. pick one: iron/stone/stone. diamond, redstone, lapis. everyday pick until I get a silky gem. pick two: alumnite/stone/netherrack...

    Sacred rubber sapling "ruined" my world... what can i do?

    note, MFR harvester will stop working when you unload it, as when it reloads, it sees no wood next to it to harvest. recommend a chunk eater. and after you get through the generation and initial lighting updates, its not that bad.

    What way does the Bedrock Breaker has to be facing?

    in the latest version there IS an option to enable breaking of that last layer. void monster is nasty, so be warned if you have it. Thamic Tinkerer adds solid bedrock for 4 layers higher. you can also smash the bedrock walls of the Twilight forest labyrinths. and nether roof. uses...
