    Why I Love The FTB Forums

    I hated Xycraft when it was just a bunch of world gen without anything else to go along with it. Then I saw valves, fabrication tables, ice blocks, etc... And now I see where I can use it here and there. Then I saw a video teasing his power network coming soon. XOMG. I want that so bad, it looks...

    Mystcraft Book Writing Guide 1.4.7 ONLY

    I did an extreme Hills Flat Single Biome world ... ended up with a totally flat world with my feet resting at 180 height ... At first I thought Yay! I'll get loads more emeralds when I do my mining, (buzzer noise) denied! I think emeralds are deep, so Mr. Stupid (also known as Fuzzlewhumper)...

    burned out, help?

    You didn't get the good ending where you learn to coexist with the creepers, skeletons, zombies, spiders, and the dragon. Those endermen though, they just look at ya wrong and deserve what they get though.

    Ultimate Wood Chopper [Selfbuilding][Menu]

    I don't have an account on the programming forums you use for this wonderful program but I figured out why your turtle.compareUp() isn't working for 75% of the people using your program. Seems you have to set up the turtle while facing west if you want compareUp() to function properly. The Fir...

    Lava help

    I think the fir tree doesn't check to see if the leaves are in the way before growing, so it's for sure going to grow with one application of bone meal. I'll check red wood though, it may do as well. Love the idea about sawmill!!! I'll try adding that! :) The bone meal I'm using comes from...

    In SSP, how much do you cheat?

    I got REAL creative last time I cheated. I wanted to upgrade my world to ultimate and use tree capitator (though now, I think I can do without it). Then it dawned on me, "I bet I could take all my stuff in world A that I'd been playing in for a while, put it in a dimensional door space, and in...

    Low-maintenance or maintenance-free solar alternatives?

    I saw this on you tube and tried it The video I saw pre-dated this one but used the same method. Also to produce a teensy weensy little bit more power I surrounded the mills with water and closed up the hole I made in the ground. Only thing sticking out was a power feed for me to draw on...

    Lava help

    A fir tree is a 2x2 tree. It's approximately 40 blocks tall. The turtle mines about 2 blocks a second. So lets just use 2 blocks a second. Each block is 750 eu raw. You can auto craft the block into 4 planks and get 3000 eu that way immediately. So, 6000 eu a second. Divide by 20 (20 tics in a...

    Lava help

    I prefer a much more automated method manner that I don't have to resort to pumping lava, and it involves wood. These are my prioritized steps to getting all the power I want that's renewable and so far as I know ... not a cheat. I generally use this as my starting strategy for getting a...

    Your Ideal Ultimate Pack Additions/Modifications

    Yeah, I hated those damn endless ice fields. Why do some biomes only go a little ways, but you hit one patch of ice and it's welcome to Russia.

    If there is intrest in an Ultimate Pack Server

    It's the newest thing right now, so it's also probably the most popular thing right now. Seems to me though, that unless people are actively on team speak and like to socialize - what's the point in playing multi-player? I tried a server called Eldercraft last year and it started out okay, but...

    The fastest way to endgame content? (Ultimate pack)

    These days, end game just means when the next patch or pack comes out and forces me to start a new world.

    Xycraft Question

    Are those blocks radioactive? I don't want my character getting sick and losing all his digital hair.

    Charge station not charging in SMP

    These are bugged. Heck, even in single player they have issues. For one, I got a station to charge a turtle and charge me a pittance for fuel (as in I put in one coal, the turtle received 130,000 units of fuel ... that's way off. Should have been 80 I believe. It did it over time, not all at...

    Ultimate Pack

    Just as a note, Magical Crops mod is not compatible with Ultimate. In specific, it interferes with those solar panels used to charge bluetricity batteries.

    Xycraft liquid tanks

    This may be a mechanic that's always existed with tanks but here's a couple lessons I learned the hard way. 1. Pumping out of tank, valve needs to be on bottom face or bottom row (not edge) of tank to get all the stuff out. 2. Destroying a valve destroys the contents of the tank, other blocks...
