Yea. I find refineries to be too much of a pain to be useful for power generation. I find it a lot easier to build a forestry tree farm, ferment that into biomass and just run bio engines. It's easier to run a few more bio engines than it is to refine biomass or oil for use in combustion engines.

Greg needs to stop playing crazy boss of us all. He's out of control.

I use the 9x9 design, and add a "utilities" floor (usually below) where common functions like power generation, routing, water source, etc. all sit and just route it from room to room underneath (or above once but it works better underneath imo.

Four straw golems for one tiny field like that seems overkill. I have 1 brainy straw golem and an observant wood golem easily servicing 4 full fields with walkways in between (field = 9x9 with water/lilypad in center). In other news: I love how random the straw golem is. Build a full sized...

Hmm. Here's a list of mods that I know have things to do with nuclear power of some sort: Industrial Craft 2 (IC2): The original (fission) reactors. Everything else is generally an add-on or modification of this. Nuclear Control (?): Adds control options for the IC2 reactors (I'm not at home...

Try it again with a blaze rod instead of a stick :)

Oh... excellent idea. Railcraft routing is a fairly hefty investment so I tend to forget about it unless I'm routing between worlds/ages. He could set up Railcraft routes for just those that have overflow problems. He wouldn't need to replace his entire pipe infrastructure.

Ah yea. Thaumcraft 3 MP is in the Magic World pack. If you don't want to add any mods to the basic FTB beta pack then you have 2 possible options: 1. Create an endless loop using an iron pipe. The items will just keep circling forever until there is room. This can get problematic over time...

Thaumcraft Golems! I love them. <3 <3 <3 They provide similar functionality to the pneumatic tubes and look much cooler. The only thing I'm not thrilled with is the color block you have to use to indicate that a chest/object is a golem interaction target. Those things are kind of ugly.

I have only ever gotten this to work by using MultiVerse and it's permissions system to block world usage to certain players. I'm thinking through why you'd want this in the first place. The only real reason I can think of is combined chat. Everything else can be done well by just having 2...

I'm not sure I see what the issue is. Are you actually experiencing any lag? What is the problem you're having. The server will only use what it needs and won't fill up 4 gigs just because you give it 4 gigs. If you really want to try and force it to lock up 4 gigs of ram you could edit the...

I'm not going to perpetuate this nonsense argument. The OP and my response were about apples, and you're busting out the oranges details. Suffice it to say that when I see anyone asking for help with a high-end FTB server I'm sending them straight to you.

You'd have to also disable the link modifier so that the survival guys can't just craft their own non-disarming book... and you'd heavily depend on the guys in creative mode to not go and mess around on the survival ages. What we really need is MultiVerse for Forge :)

I don't get it. As a moderator I would think it would be trivial to update the original post saying that the thread is pointless and then just lock the thread. Instead you seem to be nursing the thread in order to berate confused respondents.

You may need to wait until Forge is bukkit compatible again. I haven't found any good forge based block protection mods. UPDATE: Eeeh... looks like Forge <3 Bukkit won't happen. So let me rephrase: You may need to wait until Forge has added some APIs so that bukkit mods can be ported to Forge...

Ok dial it back a bit there. What you say is precise, but it isn't accurate in the context of what the original poster asked. If he is browsing online minecraft hosts then he is browsing vendors that are supplying server class hardware... which generally speaking will all be in the ballpark. The...

That should work fine. I'm running Multicraft with a vanilla server for my nephews who just like using TNT all the time and a play server for me (FTB, Magic World, etc) and Plex (similar to XBMC) on an old 2Ghz 2 core box with 8 gigs RAM. Note: I am running the server version of Ubuntu which...

Hmm. Bandwidth may be less of an issue than latency. It only uses like 0.1Gbit per user. I'd give it a try even with just 3 up.

I would recommend updating your java to the latest and greatest 64bit version. That is a frequent culprit for me.

Most hosts try and confuse you with lots of features that are basically meaningless on a minecraft server. The ONLY thing you really need to pay attention to is RAM. You'll notice that ALL of the hosts are extremely grudging with that one category because it's the only one that counts. If...
