I thought they did use both. Interesting.

Indeed. Drop them and let them be killed. You cannot run an xp farm continuously because of the limited capacity of brain jars so their durability is seldom a problem.

Advanced Iron golems from thaumcraft also work. But that's a pretty massive research investment. Not that Thaumcraft isn't crazy fun, just be aware it's not a quick solution if you aren't already researching. They're actually by far the most flexible and powerful "grinder" tools in any modpack...

Direwolf20 uses weapon turtles from ComputerCraft to do exactly this. In mixed-mod games they are cheap and easy to set up. See his most recent blaze farm upgrade videos.

It's already chunkloaded. And people with lousy computers are already forbidden from joining our server by virtue of having basically any redpower2 logic blocks at all.

I'm building up a nice supply of scrap, smooth stone, and cobble reserves for building (we build in cobble then use wands of equal trade to swap for the desired material once the build is done, this gives us a lot of flexibility on layout without resource commitment up front). The only thing I...

I reached this conclusion too. The general procedure I have for "starting a lab" is to find a nice area with a few big >600 aura nodes that are not dark, then make a 150-300 aura node right on top of your lab (making sure the nearby nodes are far enough apart that they don't cause problems)...

Had? When? Because the speed of quarries has been upped. If you have 2 redstone energy cells at max power they really fly. And look at Direwolf20's new system. He has multiple sorting machines on his input chest too. This doesn't make sense at all. The rate the quarry comes in vs the single...

Except that there is no formally stated private modpack process or update process. It's like, "Hey guys when you get to it..." And I am still not clear at all on if they can do custom configs. It's already troublesome to maintain a modpack. Asking then to gate that trouble to someone else's...

What's the point of using FTB's launcher then? I think this community is great, but without some sort of configuration sharing option non-standard loadouts are very expensive for server admins to maintain. It's obvious they "have a solution" and that's what the Forgecraft people are using. I...

I really wish I knew how to wire up gates such that when a backflow was detected all recyclables would go into a void pipe. The more I work with Redpower2 tubes, the less I like them. A sorting machine cannot even keep up with the output of 1 quarry running at above 10 mj/t. I was spilling items...

Frame motors are cool, but I could live without them.

Can railcraft do selective dispatch into arbitrary, non-adjacent inventories? I've never seen an ore processing system based around Railcraft. Do you have an example?

It's confusing to me why private modpacks aren't "any url you can post with a .zip containing this file structure".

Why should I have faith in someone who obviously and automatically holds me at arm's length, and not as an equal? Eloraam's license and code sharing policy is unreasonable, her license is unenforcible and unreasonable, and the spirit in which Mojang allows her to continue (or disregard, as the...

I'm finding myself wishing I was using mindcrack instead of Direwolf20, but no one on my server wants to deal with things like gregtech hardmode. So I have some questions: What happens if I copy the map over and we have mystcraft books in play? They just vanish, or become random other blocks...

Step 0: Isolate all your "always on" machines to a separate power network. Step 1: Control that network's connectivity. Until I have more EU support in my current project world, I've been using a redstone energy cell as a switch for my forestry machines. Once I have better EU support (need...

Totally didn't know that!

Waiiit... I was under the impression you needed lead for the wire, and you needed wire for the powergen, and you needed powergen for extra lead production in FZ. So how on earth could FZ not be adding lead to worldgen? It may be turned off in our packs to let TE ride the Beast to victory™, but I...

So ditch Redpower and lean on wireless redstone instead. I've been trying to wean my builds off of Redpower because I just have 0 confidence in the author's continued interest. Or use a launcher that just lets you host arbitrary modpacks in S3. It is not like ANY of these license terms are...
