    Never noticed anything like that. There are atmospheric sounds when you are in dark areas, but I had no idea that there were sounds relating to nearby caves (other than the grr, clatter, squelch of mob sounds).

    Download the map and use Unmined to explore the world. Or use a couple of redstone blocks and fences to make an x-ray chamber. *Edit* Wait, train whistle? Yerwot?

    Are you sure you got the recipes right? Other than that, sounds like it's a block metadata/NBT bug. RP2 has a lot of blocks all crammed into the same block ID - in fact I think it was the first mod to demonstrate this technique - and that has led to a few cross-mod issues. If you pick up a...

    I think you have to find an iridium ore in dungeon loot, and scan it so you can replicate it with the new UU-matter system.

    Cutsed Earth spreads. Just make a 2-high room and fill the bottom half with dirt and a few Cursed Earth, then come back a minute later with a silky shovel. Or plant it under a layer of fences.

    Steve's Factory Manager/Rotarycraft Sugar and Ethanol Farm

    Vswe's YouTube videos are pretty much the only documentation at the moment.

    Does anybody have a good setup?

    Another thing I set up is a Mana Bean recycler in my Thaumcraft basement. It's a turtle that just repeatedly plants Mana Beans in front of it and breaks them. Whenever I notice that my bean stocks are out of balance, e.g. I have 5 stacks of one but only just over 1 stack of another, I take a...

    Does anybody have a good setup?

    I was watching Etho on the Mindcrack FTB PVP server the other day, and I thought, all those TC nodes are going to give away his base location.

    Steve's Factory Manager/Rotarycraft Sugar and Ethanol Farm

    You can use Advanced Cable Clusters to make lines of anything that act as cables. The recipe is hugely expensive, but there's a dupe bug that you can use to reduce the cost. They're from Steve's Factory Manager, which is in Horizons, not sure about the version though.

    Tinker's Sword mats

    Scythes and Hammers both do AOE attacks. Scythe with Smite and Life Steal is fantastic for zombie hordes.

    Pax East 2014 Challenge Map

    You've buried us under so much useful information that we don't know where to start in helping you. Can you pare it down to the bare essentials?

    Any block that has a side exposed to air is loaded into the rendering engine. You know you sometimes see holes in the landscape, and you can see caves and lava and mineshafts through that? That's because the exposed blocks are in the rendering engine. If you carve out every third layer of a...

    Thermal Expansion 3.0!!! No More Beta! Thanks KL!

    Does anyone know if TE or any other CoFH mods are being worked on for 1.7? The CoFH Mods thread on minecraftforum.net has been locked.

    Questions for Mindcrack

    That makes no sense at all. Basically, the world has moved on. Many of those mods that have updated to newer versions of MineCraft have changed so much that you would have to throw away all your stuff from that mod and start again, e.g. ThaumCraft, IC2, Thermal Expansion are all very, very...

    The Thaumcraft 4.1 Experience

    How many people do you think would read your preface and think, "actually, I am a bit retarded, I'll skip this one"? That's so odd. YouTube comments are usually so polite and informative. You must've just been unlucky and caught someone on a bad day.

    It shouldn't cost more fuel, as it doesn't move more.

    Questions for Mindcrack

    Some of the mods in the original pack don't even exist any more for newer versions of Minecraft, and those that do, yhe developers aren't interested in maintaining the older versions any more, they are working on the 1.7 version. One thing you have to get used to with midded minecraft is thst...

    FTB - Curse Update

    I don't have a problem with that, but if someone presents anecdotal evidence and says it isn't anecdotal then I'll call them out on it.

    FTB - Curse Update

    It's one product, with extremely strong charitable connections. It's how much various OS users users paid for "Humble Bundle" products. The statistics are very interesting, but you said it isn't anecdotal, when it clearly is anecdotal. That's my only criticism. You can't just directly...
