    Whats Your Power Setup For Your Base?

    It really depends on the pack. In Inventions, I currently have 4 Ender IO Stirling Generators burning blaze rods, while a starter Big Reactor powered my quarry, and I'd like to switch to MFR Steam Boilers burning blaze rods, then run the steam through Advanced Generators Steam Turbines, but I'm...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Is there a better way to turn mob essence to xp than making bottles o' enchanting in an auto-enchanter? I'd rather just get the xp directly, but Inventions doesn't seem to have anything other than grinders that can keep up with even a single Tier 5 soul shard. I suppose I could try setting up...

    What could I use as a substitute for ChickenChunks?

    I honestly much prefer Dimensional Anchors. Not only are they less expensive to build (which I consider a major plus as I can go exploring early game and still have trees and crops grow, and my furnaces cooking, as well as having non-square areas loaded by having several without having to make...

    Request How to make players scream? (And cry)

    Honestly, enemies that break into my base and steal/break my machines would probably make me rage quit, mostly because it would feel like I was wasting my time if I couldn't (eventually) somehow keep them away. It would still really annoy me if my machines disappeared until I reacheda certain...

    Tinkers' construct masters, what are you best tips and tricks!

    They definitely needed nerfed, but enderium should at least be on the level of cobalt/ardite/manyullyn, not at a level where I'd never make anything out of it. Bedrock is still super op, though. :) Still, I wish I'd gotten around to making an enderium battleaxe before it got nerfed...

    Tinkers' construct masters, what are you best tips and tricks!

    No idea. I'd thought all the materials values was listed in the ExtraTIC config (I'd swear they used to be) but it appears they aren't now, so probably can't change it. It definitely needed to be nerfed, but now it's far too weak, as far as I'm concerned.

    Tinkers' construct masters, what are you best tips and tricks!

    Yes, it got nerfed. Enderium is pretty much useless for Tinker's tools now, unless you change the configs yourself.

    I've got wood.

    I'm pretty sure you can run it through the grinder to get wood pulp or somesuch, which you can use to make more ethanol. Possibly also can be composted so you can make dirt to feed your yeast production. Or you could use it to make Syngas, pour that Syngas out into the world, throw in a match...

    Fun Items in ultimate 1.4.7?

    I have to admit, I've on a couple occasions considered trying Ultimate, but I don't really want to install an old version of Java for it. Though if I run it through the Curse launcher (assuming it's on there...) it will download the proper version when it runs and delete it when I quit, won't it?

    Wool cost with UU

    Also, about 3 times what a piece of iridium costs. So yeah, that's kind of nuts.

    What thing have you never done in FtB?

    The first thing I do in any pack with Mekanism is go into the config and turn the machine sounds off. I love Mekanism, but I hate the sounds. I've never used AE2. I stopped using AE about halfway through 1.6.4 after deciding it was too easy and the autocrafting was unnecessary, and I've just...

    Question about Mekanism's Digital Miner

    Yes they do. It's how I can have Mekanism machines running at 2 rf/t instead of the standard 20 rf/t. That's just with 8 energy upgrades, no speed. Speed upgrades do, however, increase the energy usage more than energy upgrades decrease it.

    Question regarding FTB infinity skyblock

    Just out of curiosity, why do you need a horse? If you want glue to make the blast furnace, you're better off making a mob spawner and using TNT to make the blast bricks. Or gunpowder from sifting dust (that's still a thing, right? I've got 20k+ gunpowder in my skyblock world, but I'm not...

    The Wall of Why

    This is how I tend to be. Once I get to the point that I know I can do everything in the pack, it's just a matter of putting in the time, I tend to get bored. I often try and do some creative building, but I find that if I start a base, I am loathe to go through the effort to move everything...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Blazing Pyrotheum Florbs. I once used them to burn down a Natura Redwood that didn't grow exactly how I wanted it to. It makes an awful mess, though.

    Counting Trains

    While I'm not very fluent in LUA, it appears at the very least your missing an end for updateScreen. You're trying to call it within itself, which is (probably) the reason it's saying your trying to call nil.

    Infinity Evolved 2.4.2 Terrible FPS when inside, or looking at, my base?

    Yep, those are the ones. You can use any tier of them.

    That would have been nice...but such things didn't exist in 1.5. :)

    Infinity Evolved 2.4.2 Terrible FPS when inside, or looking at, my base?

    It did in 1.5. Haven't used it since then. My point was Infinity Evolved already includes Immersive Engineering, so there's really no point in adding power converters.
