    Any way to get large amounts of Amber?

    It's a shame that it seems to be such a finite resource, yet makes such beautiful blocks. Is there any way to effectively get large amounts of amber, aside from strip mining the entire map?

    What are these unlabeled buttons on Gregtech machines?

    I was looking for a way to allow gregtech machines to run at higher voltage, but inserting the transformer upgrades into the bottom slots seems to do nothing, and I have no clue what these unlabeled buttons do either. Like most things from Gregtech, it seems fairly undocumented.

    Suddenly no aura charging

    any ideas on how to find something that's using vis or causing this? we used to have energy to spare, now it seems to not charge up at all.

    Suddenly no aura charging

    So for the longest time, our base always had plenty of aura, things could charge in seconds. However, after letting a dangerously high flux node cool down, our aura stays near or at 0, and we can no longer use things like portable holes. Is it a bug, could it be bees? I'm not really sure...

    Avoiding power loss over distance?

    EU loss still seems to be happening if I do HV to HV

    Avoiding power loss over distance?

    I've been trying to find a way to avoid losing too much EU after traveling down a few blocks. Transformers don't seem to help, and I wasn't sure if MFSUs were the way to go to maintain a good 512 EU. Currently building a solar array above our bunker, so I'm going to have to drop down about 64...

    Keeping up with lava demand?

    With the amount of energy you waste in this process, it just seems like a better idea to turn rack into scrap.

    Keeping up with lava demand?

    Not really what's the problem here. Just something quick I hooked up to give it items when it needed it. Not even sure if barrels can interact with vanilla hoppers.

    Keeping up with lava demand?

    I just use an iron farm to craft pearls, and have a stockpile of blaze rods from my friend's blaze farm One thing I am trying to figure out is this infinite lava generation from nether rack 4 Magmatic engines don't seem to keep up with the MJ demand that it takes, and even at that, 1 crucible...

    Keeping up with lava demand?

    It's a mod that's part of FTB. Old style nether farms hardly worked to begin with.

    Keeping up with lava demand?

    Why would you make a nether farm when soul cages exist?

    Keeping up with lava demand?

    Is this possible with cobble? We have way too much cobble, somewhere around 400 thousand. Been trying to turn a lot of it to glass, but still have way too much.

    Keeping up with lava demand?

    Attaching tesseracts directly to my thermal generators seems to balance everything out. I think everything going iron tanks was just killing it. Thanks for the advice.

    Modpack download mirrors?

    It's a rather small server, I think we all know the administrators personally. I suppose he just put it on recommended when they started the FTB server. Makes sense though. Any significant changes to 1.1.1?

    Modpack download mirrors?

    That was it, our server is on 1.0.1 So I guess that's the recommended pack?

    Keeping up with lava demand?

    So say I had the same ender tank hooked up to 3 lava pumps in the nether, with 4 valves going into each tank. Does that mean I can pump even more out of that same ender tank? I'll try that after I get this update sorted out. Didn't realize FTB updated, yet kept the same version number. Can...

    Modpack download mirrors?

    1.1.0 is also the wrong version. I believe both of these updates are listed as 1.1.1 Or maybe 1.1.0 is downloading the wrong versions. I still get the forge version miss-match on 1.1.0 when trying to connect.

    Keeping up with lava demand?

    I've found pumping lava from tesseracts or ender tanks into a large iron tank seems to be fairly slow, and I was wondering if there was a speed limit to how fast an iron tank can fill. I currently have quite a few magmatic engines hooked up to 3 9x9x8 iron tanks, as well as 32 thermal...

    Red Power 2 status?

    That was one tweet in April, wasn't it? I would say getting kicked out of the FTB modpack is a pretty big milestone for missing updates.

    Red Power 2 status?

    I'm wondering why she doesn't make the mod open source if she isn't going to bother updating it. Why hold the mod to yourself if you're not going to contribute?
