    MystCraft 0.10.0.00 Discussion Thread

    The DW20 5.1.0 they have now doesn't launch on mac and has configs disabling an entire mod. So I suspect that unless they violate the "only on mondays" policy they'll have to push it to next week.

    DW20 5.1.0 config weirdness...

    Actually this appears to be a bit of a bug. Some of the configs seem wrong. For example mmmPowersuits is calling for gregtech recipes. Obviously that's a problem in Direwolf20.

    Mac DW20 5.1.0 memory leak.

    I can confirm InvTweaks is causing a crash on load. Current build is bad. Seems like the problem is in this trace:

    New Forestry 2.0 Farm Blocks aare a PITA

    Let me rephrase it: early on bees take a lot of space. When you are struggling just to stabilize common (my wife's been trying for over a week now and has like 1 princess and 1 drone) and breeding what you find on the intersection of four biomes, you cannot be very space efficient. We've got...

    Thaumcraft Mining w/ Tools & Enchants. Competitive?

    Yeah, that and its ability to only work in levels you want in directions to make it very, very, very good. As far as I know this isn't the case. I think I would have noticed this after I stopped using the Miner's backpack... I don't see how it's "balanced". It takes substantially more...

    New Forestry 2.0 Farm Blocks aare a PITA

    That's awful. I wouldn't ever want to play there. Bees take up space, as do farms. You cannot easily stack many of them. Except in some cases where you can, but in those cases it looks terrible and anyone with even an ounce of aesthetic sense shies away.

    Thaumcraft Mining w/ Tools & Enchants. Competitive?

    Except that they do and we don't, so I think that's wrong. It's also not really the question. The question is, "Can you ore double with thaumcraft?" I think the answer is currently no. I guess you can make that pretty fast with a wand of equal trade and some clever use of pistons and gravel...

    Thaumcraft Mining w/ Tools & Enchants. Competitive?

    I disagree with your characterization of the quarry, but that's not really the question here. I also think the Arcane Bore is so much better than the quarry that it requiring exotic fuels was almost a given. But that's also not germane, since most people in this forum only got access to a...

    MystCraft 0.10.0.00 Discussion Thread

    Because they have LOTS of material to recycle, but also lots of dead air you can skip through. For quarries, this situation gives you a lot more flexibility in what you want to mine. It's easy in a cave world to do a huge mining zone on the diamond zone, the copper zone, or anywhere in between...

    New Forestry 2.0 Farm Blocks aare a PITA

    Yeah. "Someone doesn't play SMP or has never maintained a server," is what I thought when reading that, too. I am yelling at myself about keeping 95 chunks permanently loaded; it hurts everywhere else on the server. But without that new version of NEI it's very hard to use spot loaders correctly.

    Really it's any cave world that is stable. Cave worlds are great for quarry-ing for a variety of reasons. You don't even need dense ores.

    Thaumcraft Mining w/ Tools & Enchants. Competitive?

    So last night I had a conversation with one of my server friends who finds my (recently completed!) quest for full quantum to be less than laudable." "IC2 breaks game balance, and I like Thaumcraft more." But I really wonder if Thaumcraft has a solution to mining that one or two people could...

    barrel sorting system.

    Seriously. If you have more than 3 barrels in one place you need a router. The 9 diamond startup costs sucks, but believe me if you're not making the actual machines the igniters last a long time. You can roll with it.

    barrel sorting system.

    Transpose into a router that is touching (on any side, in any place) your barrel structure. It can touch all adjacent inventories. Be aware that things get weird if you do not pre-populate your barrels. The router is powerful, but not very "smart".

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    I didn't, but my plan is to eventually run a second smaller boiler to turn a steam turbine later to provide constant good EU generation. My goal is to entirely disassociate myself from lava as a power supply and be running entirely off one big Steve's Carts tree farm. If only as a statement of...

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    Since Bellaabzug21 reminded me, I figured I'd give an update. I just closed a marathon session finishing stage one of That Big Power Upgrade. I switched off the magmatic engines for good! We're now running a steve's carts tree farm which uses saplings to create biogas. This biogas is shuttled...

    Aura and You: All About Thaumcraft 3 Aura Mechanics

    You know, once your node is big enough it might make sense to start yanking other nodes to yours rather than using more saplings. The trait of the biggest maximum node wins; I've successfully merged a small (150ish vis max) node into my pure node (at the time at 200ish) and kept the pure trait.

    Turtles.

    Maybe the later is true. But the real power of an ender chest mining turtle is that so long as its chunkloaded, it can be every bit as good as a quarry.

    Redpower going the way of Nandonalt's Mods?

    I might be. Incorrect. I wish I understood what engendered so much loyalty to the RP2 way of doing things and the RP2 codebase. It's nothing so magical that it should be kept at all costs . Why not make TE the next big automation mod if that's where we want to go? Thaumcraft is there too...
