    Plate bending machines :how to

    I forgot that everyone reads it or knows to. I also forgot how Tekkit's super-outdated wiki does NOT have about about 8x better SEO than the FTB wiki, soit NEVER comes up much more often in google searches. So I assure you, it is my bad to be had. After all, everyone reads the manual. And...

    Plate bending machines :how to

    Oh I'm sorry. I forgot everyone has been playing modded minecraft at least 3 months. My bad. I also forgot that throughout the progression through 2.90 this machine and its role in GT progression changed rapidly, going from a curiosity to a necessity.

    Advanced Solars and IC2 Solars - Ultimate

    We hit the forum floor, broke through, and discovered a whole new floor underneath. Then we broke through that, and asked how Solars work.

    Share your power loops!

    This is the first heroic, not-shameful use of frames I've ever heard. Would love to see a video.

    If by "ages" you mean less than 3 months.

    Builder skills

    For a weak builder like me, this is fantastic advice.

    Something doesn't sound right here...

    Drop in MFFS if you want that. We're probably gonna revert to MFFS2 classic soon, which gives creative builds easy access to infinite power. If we must have infinite maintenance-free power, it must take >50 to make the equivalent of a normal generator. And it must look totally awesome.

    Remember that boring old nether?

    Oh? Last time I tried it, it didn't. Well that's a good start. Hell is not supposed to be pleasant.

    Well, it's worth noting that infinite power in the MJ universe is an entirely different and even laudable thing. In the EU universe, it's frequently just abusive.

    That oil loop is overrated. It works by design, but it's also speed limited by design. Infinite power is not supposed to be impossible in FTB. Heck, Ultimate has power converters and that's a heck of a lot more powerful.

    Something doesn't sound right here...

    IC2'S power design and consumption rate is totally broken and Greg only makes it worse. In brief: melting netherrack is power positive and it should be. The way IC2 works is that replicating small power solutions like Geothermal power I'd always better than the cost of larger solutions. These...

    AE has got me thinking...

    And I thought science education was bad in the US... Pop quiz, kids. What fundamental rule of modern physics tells us that this not only "didn't happen" but that it is fundamentally impossible to do this way. I learned this rule in 8th grade at a Christian Academy that taught me the strong...

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    We crave features.

    Protection from lava with power armour?

    Yes, MPS gives you this. But only in recent builds, and it's pretty expensive to make it work in deserts or the nether.

    Remember that boring old nether?

    Quite the opposite. It explicitly is. Most ores I drop with my pick "First To Erebor", which has fortune 3 and auto-smelting. x2.25 yield!

    Remember that boring old nether?

    This is actually something I muddled on when I was first proposing Nether Ores. What balances it out for us is Osmium and Certus quartz. You really want these things and you cannot get them anywhere but overworld mining. Further, they're rare and unpredictable spawns, so you have to do a LOT of...

    Remember that boring old nether?

    I am a big fan of the Nether being a high-risk-high-reward version of mining. Our mod selections make it so that it's crazy not to mine there, but equally insane to try to. People can die there even with 10 armor and flight simply because things can go so wrong so quickly, and the place becomes...

    why does my applied energistics system keep stopping?

    Try actually explaining your problem rather than wasting your time with posts like these.

    Osmium

    Osmium armor has lower durability and much lower enchantability than diamond. I think in the modpack Lambert is playing in the very best armors outside of MPS is Ars Magica's archmage armor (which is fantastically expensive but very good) and Thaumium Armor, which has very high enchantability...

    Osmium

    He is. He already has very comprehensive UE power support.
