    Just as an example, here are my automated machines: For the EnderIO machines, one interface can hold both the patterns and receive the processed outputs, and all four can run in parallel doing different processing operations, one set in furnace mode, the other set of four in alloy mode. For the...

    Is there any way to automate QED crafting? I have tried using Steve's Factory Manager to insert items into specific slots but it doesn't seem to expose the processing slots.

    I've got a node that is continually surrounded in flux but it refuses to become a tainted biome or a tainted node. Any suggestions? I can't make Bottled Taint yet as I can't figure out how to unlock the research for it.

    What's the best biome for finding Thaumcraft barrows? I haven't found a single one in my overworld, I'm trying to create a flat Mystcraft age where I can find them. I'm after a plains type biome with no trees, that has barrows.

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    It would be better to flag them as destroy-only like ores.

    How do I learn Bottled Taint? Is it unlocked by scanning something? I have Entropic Processing, but Bottled Taint is not visible. Also, I am trying to make taint. I can't find any, so I broke a couple of energised nodes. I now have puddles of taint all over, will it taint a nearby node? I also...

    If you box it in, does it stay in the box, or does it de-spawn at some point and re-spawn later? Maybe figure out the spawn radius and just encase the whole thing in a big glass dome? Or... do they go through walls? I don't think so as I think I saw one stuck inside a tree the other day.

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    The ore dictionary can't be as simple as that. I'm fairly sure that I can't put a Thaumcraft gold coin in a barrel, top it up with gold nuggets, then pull stacks of coins out. There is a dictionary entry called something like AllVeggies, and Pam's Harvestcraft vegetables are registered as being...

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    Does EE3 have a blacklist for pulling items out of the table? I know that ore can't be, but that's hard coded on the word "ore" in the item name. Sounds like the Tree of Time, Sorting Tree, etc. should all be blacklisted. EE3 is young.

    I just had an idea - if I energize a node, then break it, that releases taint, right? What's the best way to go from that to bottled taint to convert my hungry node?

    Yes, I suppose that's a possibility, but it sounds like a bug, I don't expect that this is deliberate!

    Does anyone know what might have caused this pattern of chunk generation? The line goes right through 0,0.

    FTB Infinity 1.7.10 Help, Venting and Discussion Thread

    The only thing that I can narrow it down to that caused lag in Infinity 1.4.1 is a big hungry node with 8 other nodes around it at the corners of a 9x9 cube, but I'm not entirely convinced that that was the cause.

    Sure, I'm not surprised, I even posted a link to a similar mod. When I was thinking about "expand the hotbar", I originally interpreted it as simply making the exising hotbar bigger, like 10 or 12 or 15 slots instead of 9. Yeah, the MineCraft world just isn't big enough. Also, I usually have...

    Only if you have all the components for the final craft already crafted. I find that unless you automate everything including the final machine, it's hardly worth automating anything at all.

    IC2 dates from the very early days of mods, when modders felt that the had to somehow balance the cheaty feeling of mods that do things for you. And particularly nowadays, when replacing that Macerator is just a matter of going to the AE Crafting Terminal and requesting a new Macerator which is...

    I think expanding the hotbar is pretty much impossible, for a start it would mess up the inventory slot layout that a lot of mods use. And what keys would you use? I think there's a mod that rolls through your hotbar and inventory so you can swap in 4 different sets of 9 items. Maybe a mod could...

    FTB Infinity 1.7.10 Help, Venting and Discussion Thread

    I tried 1.5.1 briefly but my world became unplayably laggy within a couple of minutes, I might try it again. Also I'm glad I'd generated a fairly large area of the overworld early on, as something has changed in worldgen at some point and I now have huge flat chunk boundary walls where the...
