    Prevent mob spawning without light in end world

    That's true. Also, even if you could find a 1.4.7 version of Extra Utilities, it wouldn't matter since the magnum torch is a recent addition.

    Protection Against Mobs?

    Protip: Setup MFFS extremely incorrectly, but don't tell your friend. Laugh at the shenanagins that ensue.

    Question about the Wither.

    Sorry, I couldn't the rest of the thread. I'm stuck at the 3778 where your level is supposed to be...

    Prevent mob spawning without light in end world

    Extra Utilities is part of the 1.5.2 ftb packs. Consider an upgrade.

    All multiblocks use tile entities. It's just the nature of the beast.

    Concerning 1.5 vanilla hoppers, my 1.5 worlds depend on them heavily for automation combined with all mods. They are incredibly powerful.

    Thoughts on MFR

    Just download the 152ngt pack. It has all the TE recipes enabled. It has both IC2 and TE recipes enabled for MPS as well. I use the IC2 recipes for MPS. Back to MFR, I like the balance on the TE recipes. They fit in with the feel of MFR while maintaining the style of TE. For instance, the DSU...

    Thoughts on MFR

    I use MFR for fun. I use Nether Ores for FUN! I've been a big fan of FUN! since stumbling upon Happy Fun Stuff in Dwarf Fortress. Nether Ores reminds me of that in a good way.

    Do you like to hide your machinery behind the scenes?

    I make freaking factories!!! I want them to look like freaking factories!!! But really, I like the idea of having all my pipes and wires going everywhere. It always reminds me of how far I've come since spawning with nothing but a book about how to make a smeltery and patterns.

    Pink slimeballs!

    Use a slaughterhouse instead of a grinder to kill your mobs. Send the pink slime liquid to a tank of some kind. Once you have enough, use a bucket to place some in the world. Wait for a pink slime mob to spawn. Kill the mob, loot the pink slime ball, profit. ETA: ninja'd!!!

    RedLogic by Immibs

    Comparators work really, really well for detecting the percentages of space inside containers. I'm sure someone can come up with a way to extend that to energy storage. You might want to ask the mod authors if it's possible to expose that information to comparators in a similar way, if it isn't...

    Thoughts on MFR

    MFR has cheap recipes which let you get into it at a decently early stage. I think the sheer amount of infrastructure development required to make all the machines work together well helps balance the low cost of entry. I view MFR as something closer to Extra Utilities in many aspects since it...

    The Extra Utilities Peaceful Table gives ALL mob drops including minium stones and skulls and weapons, etc. But, it only works if the difficulty is peaceful, and it feels kind of cheaty even though it uses up your swords.

    RedLogic by Immibs

    I have the initial pulse going off every .5 second. I could definitely optimize for more pulses per tick, but I'm going for more lighting updates per tick at the endpoint which takes a slower initial delay. This setup is limited by Minecraft's stupid render code.

    How do you do?

    The first thing I do in a world, after getting basic shelter and lighting, is put up a smeltery. TConstruct is far too good to be put off for very long. The most expensive component of a smeltery is the bucket you need to fill the thing with lava. This should be your very first ore doubling...

    Let''s see...a PRC has 5 useable faces, each with 16 possible outputs. So, 80 points of possible mayhem. Set all 80 circuits to a pulse former. Give the first former no delay, the second a 10 tick delay, the third a 20 tick delay, and so on. This will ensure that your lag-o-matics will always be...

    The Ultimate Tinkers Construct Tools

    In my experience, emeralds are counted last even if you add durability such as diamond after you add the emerald.

    Pulling and Sorting Items from Quarry (enderchest)

    It takes the output of a fully powered GT fusion reactor to hit the energy limit of a TE energy conduit. A single liquiduct can handle the output of something like 64 36HP boilers. I imagine you would need several hundred quarries running full speed to hit an Item Tesseract's throughput limit.

    I think Xycraft is going to have retroactive world gen like Thaumcraft does. I am in an unhealthy amount love with MPS lights right now.
