    new mindcrack pack released?

    This is about the new "war" themed pack, not the old (greg)tech pack.

    Appled Energistics MAC Calculator

    Works fine for me on Windows 7. I guess if you have an archive program as the default action for jar files then opening the file will open the archive instead of executing it, but I don't. Try right-click and Open With, select Java. Thanks a lot, CptSpike, this is really useful. I'm just...

    morph and direwolf20 pack

    The only thing anyone should be told to SHUT UP about is telling people to SHUT UP. So SHUT UP and let people express their OPINIONS!

    AE Quartz vs XyCraft Quartz

    Bright textures don't mean that they are transparent for rendering purposes. Xychorium had a bright texture that looked lit up but emitted no light, as does Thaumcraft ore, but they don't cause adjecent blocks to load into the renderer. I really have no idea why Certus Quartz behaves in this way.

    AE Quartz vs XyCraft Quartz

    All you folks - and I include myself in that - who criticized XyCraft for the rendering lag caused by quartz: how surprising is it when I say that AE Quartz has exactly the same problem? That's right - Certus Quartz does not count as a solid block for rendering purposes. All 6 adjacent blocks...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Answering my own question after trying it in a creative world: seems to cap out at a 31 block diameter circle. So I can place one now and not worry about trashing my mana bean farm. *Edit* Oh. Enchanted Forest works just as well as Magical Forest for mana bean growing. What a waste of effort...

    1.8

    I didn't have a problem with the resource cost per se, it got a bit annoying with non-stackable items, but I had no inclination to do it without a guide. The new system needs no guide so that's a huge step forward.

    1.8

    I wasn't a big fan of the rune-moving system. The impossible puzzles were a bit annoying, and the game did get boring before I'd even finished half the research. I've only done about five instances of the new hex based research, not sure whether it will get boring or not, but it's a big improvement.

    [StevesCarts] Cart is disappearing

    Yeah. If I ever made another SC tree farm, I'd definitely use NEI to save a duplicate of the cart in case it mysteriously vanishes through no fault of my own. I had my cart vanish three or four times in my 1.4.7 world, I rolled back to a daily back-up each time which was annoying as I kept...

    Sacred rubber sapling "ruined" my world... what can i do?

    Someone could make a whole Youtube series out of this, "101 ways to torture your computer with a Sacred Rubber Tree".

    [StevesCarts] Cart is disappearing

    It does kind of make sense - if all entities have a unique identifier then they could be flagged as having been saved so they don't get saved twice. If it's a vanilla mechanic then I suppose it could happen to minecarts, animals, even players although they may be handled independently and a...

    Sacred rubber sapling "ruined" my world... what can i do?

    Ah, nuts. I'm guessing Wand of Equal Trade doesn't work on leaves either, but it only does the surface anyway. And that's a lot of blocks to carry around. Like, well over a million at a guess. Any other block replacers? I wonder if the EQ can be config'd to do trees.

    [DW20] efficient, end gameish compact(?) Infusion Room? What is yours?

    19²+2? 3 layers of 11x11? I think the balancing calculation needs to be made a bit more sophisticated. I don't see how having a huge amorphous mass of candles would add stability. Having too many items should start to have a negative effect, in my opinion. You should have to have a mixture of...

    I'm quite happy with the current research system.

    [StevesCarts] Cart is disappearing

    Presumably that can also cause duplication if it happens the other way around, but I've nevet seen that reported.

    [DW20] efficient, end gameish compact(?) Infusion Room? What is yours?

    Remember that aura nodes are active decorations, so if you have your recharging setup right by your infusion altar, it will cause instability. Make sure it is far enough away, or is concentric with it. P.s. does anyone know if the item pillars themselves have to be symmetrical, or just the...

    I don't want it to do anything else. I want to know how much biome it will change.
