    Good Big Reactors setup

    I have been using the *x*x3 reactor design with the fuelrods going every other block so that there is coolant on all sides of the fuelrod for some time now and honestly I think its the best design because the larger I build it the multiplier jumps higher and higher. I may not understand how big...

    What's your favorite starting mod?

    My most recent world restarts I have started off going straight to redstone level to get redstone for turtles then I mine for diamonds for both the tool for the turtle and a chunkloader, Then I head out and find an enderman for the ender pearls. I let the turtle chop trees until I get a good bit...

    ReactorCraft - clever reactor setups?

    Good I thought that was how they worked but couldn't find any factual information on it.

    ReactorCraft - clever reactor setups?

    Is it crazy that I can actually have a use for something that apparently produces unlimited amounts of power? Actually more than one at that. The only thing really holding me back is the highest pipe output I have found in monster is the enderIO one at 20k RF/t and even that isn't enough...

    ReactorCraft - clever reactor setups?

    Ive been looking at the reactorcraft also and am surprised how little information there is on it aside from the videos you see from the mod author.

    How can I get Certus Quartz alot easier?

    Mostly the problem with the laser and the bees with gendustry is power. I had to upgrade to a pretty big bigReactors reactor just for the bees and another one for the lasers. The biggest power hog is the imprinter and sampler machines along with the mutatron they will drain all your resonant...

    How can I get Certus Quartz alot easier?

    I have my bee breeding area in a void islands mystcraft world and without realizing it I went AFK while I thought I was safe letting my quantum bees breed up in a industrial apiary and I came back a little bit later to find myself launched off the island I was on, dead for who knows how long. I...

    How can I get Certus Quartz alot easier?

    I have quantum bees with the blinding speed from AM2 producing the certus quartz dust which I then compress with the industrialcraft compressor into the certus quartz. This is the fastest way I have found besides just spawning the quartz in. For normal certus quartz needs, magical crops will...

    Feed The Beast - Hosting A Server From My Old Laptop?

    Yeah but then you have the headache of linux lmao. I have a linux partition and a windows partition on my server and honestly I can't see the difference with a single person (Myself) playing. On linux my chunks load faster for some reason and on windows my TPS is higher and I have a somewhat...

    Feed The Beast - Hosting A Server From My Old Laptop?

    All you can do is set up the server and see. The only problem I see is the processor speed is quite low so you may have machine lag.

    Tank: Open Block or Railcraft

    I agree, as much as I like soaryn I dislike how he chose to just not update the previous version of xycraft until his new and improved version is ready. I would rather have a half broken mod than no mod at all.

    Tank: Open Block or Railcraft

    I haven't tested it yet but I did go on and see if buildcraft gates work with them and they do, from there all I would have to do is get a turtle or some other block breaker to break the drum when the gate lights up the redstone signal. Gonna replace all of my tanks with drums now. I didn't...

    Tank: Open Block or Railcraft

    I really like the drum idea I haven't looked into it yet however if there was a way to detect when a drum was empty break it and replace it with a full one and also for filling if a drum is full break it and place it in a network or a chest. If it's possible and I'm sure it is somehow, that...

    Rubber farming in Monster

    I have a turtle autoplace and autobonemeal my MFR rubber trees I use the lumber axe from tinkers to harvest the trees by hand which honestly unless we are counting offline automation its faster than anything else.

    How far is to far with automation?

    After I get to the point that I have basically limitless mats at my disposal I start building mega builds like 24x32x24 and larger MAC islands around my multiple void bases just for the heck of it. I make a lot of builds that require very tedious crafting like the AE stuff and the TE and...

    If servers handle the machine calculations, why does my FPS drop in my base?

    I wasn't talking about frames at all. As long as you have a mid-high end cpu/gpu from the last couple years you'll be fine. Ram however if you don't have enough can ruin your life in twitchy gameplay and what seem like FPS drops but really its your system freeing up resources. Add a server to...

    If servers handle the machine calculations, why does my FPS drop in my base?

    Yeah as long as you have enough ram to share between both the server and the client there's no problem.

    Those Things That Make You Smile In Minecraft

    The time you get your first AE MAC running on a new world only to turn around and use it to make one much much bigger. Tinkers Construct Gendustry Chisel Mystcraft Morph 1 block tall mobs. In my current world I have created some of my bases with only 1x1x1 tunnels through the machines it is...

    If servers handle the machine calculations, why does my FPS drop in my base?

    I have no idea the solid facts about things but I find that machines that emit light like an AE system are most damaging to a client I have my smooth lighting on minimum and it makes SOOO much of a difference when in my base with all my AE devices I suspect the boiler is more of the same deal. I...

    Helpf Finding Mystcraft Pages

    You could make an MFR/Tinkers Construct villager smelter to get emeralds to trade to a mystcraft villager for pages/notebooks. If you are the server admin or are playing single player go into the configs and turn off the liquids you do not want because most of them are random junk...
