    I have a problem in Crash Landings - I have all three High Oven component items required for Triple Play, but the High Oven Controller is showing as 0/1 in the quest book. THe only difference is that I made the other two items, but the controller was loot from a building. I will try making...

    Program a turtle to go back and forth overwriting the water blocks? The standard quarry program should do a reasonable job if you don't fancy coding something better.

    His best bet is probably to figure out the node data format and edit the world. It would probably be quicker to do that than to randomly spawn nodes, depending on how particular you are about the stats. What he is asking for may well take around a billion random nodes to get right, if bright...

    That's because it's not possible. Precision export bus cannot do this. Translocators can do it by setting an item count limit, Factorization can do it by targetting a specific slot (see DW20's latest SP episode for a how-to), and Steve's Factory Manager can do it by slot number as well.

    Frame Repair Factory

    I got fed up with making replacement Impregnated Frames, so I made a system to repair them. Damaged frames are extracted by SFM and inserted into Arcane Reconstructors Arcane Reconstructors repair the frames Repaired frames are extracted and inserted into frame housing (SFM inventory cables run...

    No, just put any old princess in with a stack of about 10 refined drones that have the fastest trait, and over a few generations her traits will be forced to be identical to the drones. I ususally put more than 10 in, but I've never seen it take that many generations before the queen is a...

    I think it generally works like this: 1. Set the option in the mod's config 2. Enter the world, and move around in it 3. As chunks are loaded, they are retro-generated 4. Log off, and the mod turns the option back off automatically So you have one chance to visit as much of your generated...

    Just got back from a week's holiday. Found the node, it was indeed deep underground (in a very scary cave!)

    MFFS can block players, but you need an access card to get through it. I don't know of a block that selectively stops players automatically without the ID card mechanism.

    Ok I'll give that a go, it's a tainted lake so I need to grass it over just so I can see the extent more clearly. No node visible. Unless, maybe, it's underground... I'll check that when I get back from my holidays. Are there any bees that clean up taint? I just got some alvearies up and...

    I have a patch of taint near my base that won't go away. A couple of spots just refuse to go, I've tried silverwoods and the infused plant but neither will remove the taint entirely. Is this supposed to happen, and do I have any other choices? I'm running a slightly expanded MF2 pack.

    Got it working now. The Steve's Factory Manager Block Detector detects an air block and turns on a redstone signal, which goes through a 4-tick repeater to the Autonomous Activator. Works like a charm. Now all I need is that Mystcraft age with tile.ArsMagica2:liquidEssence.name Block oceans!
