    New Nether?

    Are you using a minimap? Mapwriter (Opis) has a really good map of the Nether that shows pretty much all the features so that should help you find a way to some interesting features. Or, open your save in Unmined, which is great for exploring the landscape.

    Spambots

    I tried using the "report" function, but you have to wait 30 seconds between each report. With the amount of threads being created, I'm not going to do that. Sorry, but I can't help if the tool stops me from using it.

    AE Quartz vs XyCraft Quartz

    And he's answered: it's because Certus Quartz shares a block ID with the cables. So it's an unfortunate consequence of cramming as much as possible into a single ID.

    Your enchants are random? Anyway Frugal is really common, if you enchant 4 wand caps you're pretty much guaranteed to get it on one of them. I think 3 of my 4 caps have Frugal 3. Yes, but the node doesn't recharge when it's in a bottle.

    FTB - Curse Update

    You're into the lands of technicalities there, I'd say that functionality and platform support are independent of each other.

    Appled Energistics MAC Calculator

    It's not a matter of ratios. How many pages of patterns do you need? How many CPUs can you easily afford to build? Round those numbers to an oblong size and there you are. I reckon 3 pages is enough, 4 CPUs, but 7 isn't possible so 1 extra CPU makes 2x2x2 which means my MAC should be 4x4x4. When...

    1.8

    That's like hoping for an honest politician or a generous banker.

    Yeah, kinda. It may only be temporary, I think Az found that the old system was super laggy and so the new system may be a stop-gap until he works out a better implementation. Or maybe not. Maybe I should just put a dedicated Arcane Furnace under each essentia jar, and pipe the beans right in.

    FTB Master Configs

    I added Steve's Factory Manager to MF2, and had to pick some new block IDs. Now, there is an official config with different IDs. I'm ok carrying on as I am, but is there a relatively simple way of switching over to the new IDs? I dont want to have to reprogram my Machine Inventory Manager, and...

    The simplest, but highly manual, solution needs one alembic with two lines of tubing: a line of valves with a line of regular tubes underneath. Close all the valves. As each essentia appears in the alembic, go open the valve for that essentia type and, and close it after. I just use mana beans...

    Everyone connecting to the server has to enable the mod. Only the server admins need to ban the item.

    The question was about the MFR Steam Turbine, not the Railcraft Steam Turbine. The MFR turbine is identical in input and output to an Industrial Steam Engine or a Steam Dynamo, so a 36HP will run 18 of them.

    It may be OP, and that's very much a matter of opinion, but is it unfair on PVP servers? Which in itself is an interesting question, if everyone has access to it then how is it unfair? I guess if there are one-shot weapons that are impossible to defend against then it's no fun in PVP, even if...

    1.6.4 Shader Mod working properly (Download link) or: Get your Minecraft beautified!

    That zip file includes Optifine? Isn't that a breach of copyright?

    Like posts? Maybe dislike as well

    I wish there was a dislike button so I could click it to express my dislike for the idea of having a dislike button. :p

    I've seen that sort of thing a lot, especially when travelling long distances quite quickly, but a re-log always fixed it for me.

    Derpy question about Thermal Expansion 3.

    Hm. How does it decide on the identity of a network? If I set up a line of redstone conduits, charge them up with 60000 RF, and then break it in half, how much does each half of the old network now contain? Is it smart enough to halve it? This calls for a test!
