    Gregtech End Ores useless?

    I can't hear Dragon raid without thinking about having to have the bloody Imp out parked next to the tank lol Or logging in multiple low level chars to check for the world dragons.

    Max MJ's Per Tick for a Quarry?

    Try reading the post you're quoting...... Though for those of you who still must use Fillers as a mass mining tool Xeno's Reliquary has you covered the Coin of Fortune will allow you to instantly pick up all drops in a fairly small area admittedly (think it's about 5x5 or around reach range...

    Aluminum - Xycraft and GregTech

    Early game Aluminium and Titanium are rare, mid game you will have barrels of Alu\stacks of Titanium sitting around doing nothing so their use in mixed metal ingots and as a substitute in crafting recipes is great, gives them a later game use once your excessive production of them makes them...

    Do some mods cause more lag than others?

    It sits there (in the input slot of the next machine) and does nothing (though your specific example if you have Gregs Lighting installed would do something).

    Is this intended behavior for flax plants?

    Afaik it's not a bug just a limitation of having a 2 block high plant, you could specify that any block in the structure breaks all blocks but why complicate the code when vanilla has the "bottom block breaks all above" already in place. IRL the stem is processed for the fibres and the...

    Ars Magica

    You lose 5 levels, configurable but cannot be set to 0.

    Do some mods cause more lag than others?

    I haven't noticed ongoing lag due to Thaumcraft there is a fair amount if you regen your world of course, RP2 does have a fair amount of lag inducing qualities when you start using a lot of logic tiles\wiring\piping, another culprit for lag is EBXL the big trees (redwoods) can bring my computer...

    Is this intended behavior for flax plants?

    Flax does not regrow from just the bottom half of the plant, I'm not certain that the Forestry farm is capable of growing Flax it may be since they have been playing together for a long time but I do know that other mod "farming" machines do not handle flax (Steves Carts specifically) but even...

    Ars Magica

    I'm running something very similar to that list in my Magic World but I also added Forestry (just for the Bees\Backpacks), Factorisation since a lot of it is great utility and some of it is definitely in the magical vein aand Cogs of the Machine ok it's not really magical but I loved Arcanum and...

    Ars Magica

    I don't know really. I still use Conan style on wizard mobs, they don't cast to well with an Adv Chainsaw to the face, or if I see them first or further away the Xeno's Reliquary GUN makes a real mess of them. Also "really buggy" in what way? I'm running Ars (1.4.7\.489\5.32.272) and apart from...

    Ars Magica

    The other thing is Ars is still in beta though I have noticed the last version was "RC" so a release candidate, Mithion the author is doing things right as far as I can see. Beta testing is specifically for finding the exact bugs that are mentioned here, I've been running Ars betas for a while...

    Max MJ's Per Tick for a Quarry?

    Not in the next version of BC you won't be......the unintended use of Fillers as a mass mining tool is fixed, they start at the top and all drops last one second.

    Mass fab and recyclers

    BetaA doesn't have RP2 in it as there was no version of RP2 for 1.4.2, either the DW20 pack or the Mindcrack pack do have RP2 however so for a mass fab\filter setup either of those will work or wait a short while for the ultimate pack to be released, though when the ultimate pack is released I...

    It's GregTech, Jim... but not as we know it

    A fully automated Gregtech processing chain, Grinders\Blast Furnace\Electrolysers (using RP2\Thaumcraft\Factorisation as well) as well as enough power to run everything at once was a quite fun complicated contraption to build it can handle the full output of my stupid TBM (12x9 head at 40-49 for...

    Problem with my Geothermal Generators?

    Yeah gold cable is very lossy, copper works much better until you can use glass fibre basically you don't use gold cable for anything other than crafting. You may use HV cable later once you have very large power production capability because at the voltages involved at that point a minor loss...

    Thaumcraft 3 more enjoyable without tech mods?

    Also have a nice creepy Brain ina Jar next to your Arcane furnace it will collect XP for you, quite a few of the more machine based furnaces do not supply XP at all, and if you run Ars Magica XP is a very valuable resource.

    Portal gun insane recipe

    I have 3 portal guns, 4 portal spawners, a half stack of ender dust and even an emancipation grid, I have not killed the wither boss these are all from normal exploration (or at least normal exploration with Ars magica installed lol). There are plenty of the guns and other parts scattered around...

    What comes after automation?

    Masturbation comes after automation. Not literally but you do all the wanky things like build a floating island with RP2 kinetic gens around the entire outside of it themed to look somewhat like Bioshock Inifinite, then build an underwater city with breeding pens for every type of animal...

    Looking for FTB server that allows Griefing and Raiding.

    I did say "some" people the OP however specifically mentioned raiding (as in I will come and steal your stuff and probably destroy your building while I'm at it).

    Difference between Torch, Sulfur Torch and Aluminum Torch?

    The major difference between the Sulphur and Aluminum torches is that the Alu ones do not drop sulphur goo which when you use them as caving\area lighting tools is great as you really don't want a bunch of sulphur goo sitting around in the world causing lag.
