    Unless someone on the server has set up something to detect rain and stop it straight away...

    They can be right next to each other, but slime blocks will not overwrite leaves so you will get a low yield from some. I dont know of anything that can expedite their growth, but I havent tried watering can or lamp of growth.

    Magic Farm 2 venting and advice thread

    Yeah I sympathise with anyone using magic to run their farms in Magic Farm, which appears not to be possible any more.

    You have to set the sides correctly that the storage bus on, I can't remember what setting it needs to be on but try messing with that. Also, I think you need at least one full stack of the material in the DSU before you can access it.

    No, MFFS projected blocks can't be functional parts of your base, and neither can Thaumcraft warded blocks. Both methods basically replace the blocks with a special block that can just look like anything. They can't be tile entities (inventories, machines, or anything with state information)...

    MFFS can mimic any block, I think you can build a structure and get MFFS to project an identical-looking forcefield.

    a 5x5x5 room of septuple compressed cobblestone... if you make 1 cobble per second it will take you 9 years to generate that much cobble. 1 cobble per tick would be 23 weeks. Has anyone here ever generated a septuple?

    True, with a regular client you can't have stuff running without your character standing around somewhere.

    I doubt very much whether a dedicated server plus a client running on the same PC will be any more efficient than a single process doing both. Although, maybe it will be able to use 2 CPUs instead of just one, as I don't think Minecraft will use two CPUs in a single instance. CMIIW.

    Morph - Flight seems a bit op..

    So? It's still a valid topic. All this necromoaning is really annoying.

    You get research notes from within the Thaumonomicon now, not randomly in the table.

    FTB Master Configs

    Since you obviously have no idea what you are talking about, I will not continue this discussion here unless someone else has anything to say on the subject. *Edit* And it's worse than that - block IDs in Anvil are one byte, with an array of 4-bit extensions that boost the ID range from 256 to...

    How far is to far with automation?

    Why do you feel the need to insult people? Are you trying to deliberately provoke someone into getting moderated?

    Personally I'd just set up a bank of Cyclic Assemblers for that. I don't think there's a way that is entirely internal to AE.

    I'm pretty sure it's not true.

    Vanilla enderchests don't drop when broken. There are no Silk Touch Mining Turtles. And as to pointless, it's not pointless if the person doing it enjoys doing it. All of Minecraft is pointless to some extent. All of life is pointless to some extent, all we are is dust in the wind. He whose...
