    Nether changes... ridiculous!

    1. Open a doorway to Hell. 2. Tiptoe between the zombies. 3. Avoid the firebats. 4. Pillar up to gather the glowing crystals on the roof. 5. Shoot down the giant crybaby heads and gather their tears. 6. Find a fortress and kill flying fire demons. 7. Dig up the rich seams of minerals that lace...

    Nether changes... ridiculous!

    Why? I think it's a great idea.

    Even if that statement was expressed as a question, it would not be a simple one.

    Don't feed the trolls. Best to just ignore them.

    OK, there's something funky happening in Magic Farm 2 then.

    It can break some hives but not others - it doesn't work on Forestry hives, but it does work on Extra Bees and Magic Bees hives.

    The Thaumcraft 4.1 Experience

    Yes, I can't remember what it's called (might be Item Relay) but there's a block that treats the 5x5x5 area around it as an inventory. Pipe or hopper out of it, and the items are extracted. I use them in my mana bean farm, with the ducts set to only pull mana beans, so anything else dropped on...

    The Thaumcraft 4.1 Experience

    A terrain smasher works for crucible taint, so I guess it would do just as well for infusion pedestals. It would be a bit ugly, as they have to point sideways at the block, it would be better to have them above pointing down. Is there a block breaker that can point down? Ooh, Steve's Factory...

    Magic Farm 2 venting and advice thread

    Watch out for thieving mobs in Brushland biomes. 'Cos that diamond-reinforced quartz-sharpened self-repairing manyullium cleaver? It drops on a thistle, and it's gone.

    You're really expecting a useful and productive suggestion? Void them. There's no way you're ever going to use them. Save a thousand or so, and dump the rest into a trashcan. If you're using AE, point a level emitter at an export bus and set it to keep on exporting eggs as long as you have more...

    1: Ender Quarry can. Don't know about mining well but I'd expect so. No BuildCraft in the pack I play. 2: they're a useful source of the Auram aspect if you don't have a mana bean farm.

    Thaumcraft 4 Hungry Node

    I was just flying around my world and I saw a node over water. It looked like it might be a pure node, as the swirly glow was a bit different to normal fuzzy nodes. I flew towards it, thinking I'd scan it and see what it was, when I noticed a squid leap up out of the water and start to attack...

    Or so you can have it on a raised platform for aesthetics.

    What's new in modded minecraft today?

    I don't know how i-sided inventories work, but the fact that there's a codename for it implies that it's a standard interface, and can therefore be wrapped. When a mod wants to insert something into the side of a block, it has to have a standard method name to call. "There are no problems in...

    The Thaumcraft 4.1 Experience

    If an infusion required 5 ingredients, am I better off arranging four of them symmetrically with each other and the fifth one on its own causing slight imbalance, or in as close as I can get to a 5-pointed star? I assume it's the former, from what people have said about the Y-axis symmetry...

    Odd. They work fine for me, just sneak-click them onto the side if the pedestal. Azanor said he uses them himself, so it isn't a cheat or 'sploit.

    The Thaumcraft 4.1 Experience

    I agree. You want infusion to be 100% reliable and safe? You want your aspects all automatically piped into jars? Me, I want to play the game. Explosions and taint and goo = fun!

    FTB - Curse Update

    I think that that is inevitable. All communities have opinion makers, people who for whatever reason right or wrong have been raised to a position of great influence. I don't see how any artificial system can be devised to counteract this trend, for sheeple to look to a shepherd(ess) to tell...
