    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    No, but I will this week-end! Hm, I'm looking forward to turning an entire ghast tower into dirt.

    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    I once played a vanilla world with a custom terrain generator that created spherical floating islands with glass domes, but the author forgot to include any clay whatsoever in the worldgen.

    Reappearing Blocks can no longer be harvested with Equal Trade (or EnderIO exchanger). Not cool!

    For farming tainted goo/tendrils for use in crafting, or for taming a giant Hungry Node for powering Vis Relays. You feed the node with items to boost its aspects, taint it to stop it being hungry, then move it, stabilize it, and transduce it.

    Nope: I think it's pretty clear what he meant by "renewable".

    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    We were having a productive discussion about the renewability of resources in a closed system, then someone came along and disrupted it by claiming that a word that we were using didn't mean what we were using it to mean. All I did was try to clarify what we meant by the word in the context of...

    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    It's not semantics, it's merely an attempt to use words in a meaningful way. I use the term "renewable" to refer to resources that you don't have to keep on expanding your worldgen to get more of. Things that can be renewed within a closed system. Saying "everything (except End Portal Blocks) is...

    No, absolutely not, that's never what "renewable" means in Minecraft. Renewable means that it can be renewed. And Minecraft is not infinite.

    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    You'd have to use a floating point value, or change the scale radically, after all what does it mean to have 0.999 or 1.998 EMC in a table? That isn't what "renewable" means.

    I think someone did that already with the old EE... what was it called... Fool the Bees? Feel the Base? Something like that.

    So you've set up frame machines with a single chunk loader and never had a problem? Interesting. I wonder if the problems are just down to timing, if you happened to log out while the machine was in the middle of a move then perhaps when the world re-loads it might not load up the chunks because...

    Exactly. I have a lever that I flip off and on, I'll look into if there is an inverted button (Chisel? Carpenter's? Deco/Biblio?), or some simple way to invert a button signal. I might replace the EnderIO cables with something like Rednet to do that. Or just pop a redstone torch behind the button.

    FTB Infinity Release

    I doubt it, maybe small utility mods, nothing that adds worldgen in a stable modpack.

    They really are, they don't charge the wand in the table until I re-deploy them. The same happens in 1.4.1 and 1.6.1.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Has anyone else had problems with their Vis Relays becoming disconnected? I have worked around the problem by mounting them all inside Drawbridges and setting up a lever so I can retract and re-deploy them all, and then they re-connect correctly.

    Open 1.4.1: 1.6.1 Steve's Factory Manager fluis and redstone triggers messed up

    Version: 1.4.1 What is the bug: On updating from 1.4.1 to 1.6.1, Steve's Factory Manager has replaced Liquid XP settings with Manyullin, and all triggers that were based on redstone control have been changed to regular interval triggers. Mod & Version: Paste.feed-the-beast.com log: Can...

    https://feedthebeast.atlassian.net/wiki/display/PML/Infinity+1.7+1.6.0 Change log may not yet be finished as I guessed the URI rather than following a link. As it says, "Detailed Changes and Correct Versions on the side will be completed on the weekend. Apologies for the delays".

    Close... Vis Stone is what I actually had in mind.

    Can I power a Wand Recharge Pedestal from an Energised Aura Node? I know I can recharge wands in the workbench with the relay thingy on it.

    They are Portal Spawners, and the top-half problem is well known. For instance, I know that it happens any time a Portal Spawner is moved by Funky Locomotion.
