    [MC1.10] Best Thermal Expansion Dynamo in your opinion?

    I'm looking at my early to mid game power, and I'm thinking TE dynamos to supplement my Environmental Tech solar. Some of my thoughts: The process of turning Liquifacted Coal into Refined Fuel for the Compression Dynamo yelds a pretty good amount of sulfur, useful for keeping a stock of...

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    Couple things recently. First, I finally took a decent look at Engineer's Workshop, and I have to say, it looks pretty darn awesome. Crushing, pulverizing, autocrafting, and an alloy smelter all in one block? Or stick 4 of the same thing in one for massive parallel processing? Granted, the...

    Current modpack comparison?

    The mod with the ore miner is Environmental Tech. Also, I prefer Iron Backpacks. Mining upgrade + Compression Upgrade = awesomeness. Especially if Extra Utilities is installed, since you can use the compression upgrade to compress the cobble.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    For the Draconic Evolution reactor [MC1.10 version], what's a good RF/t output to set? I seem to be getting decent results with around 450,000 rf/t from my bit of experimenting, but I'm wondering if anyone has better values. Also, is there any way to push/pull items while it's active? Shutting...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Is there a way to blast-proof an Applied Energistics 2 formation plane? I'm designing/testing an Entropinnyum setup, and I want a blast-proof cage. This is the only weak point I haven't figured out yet. MC1.10 if it matters.

    [MC1.10] Autobuilder options with built-in buildings and/or somewhere I can download user-created

    blueprints? Failing that, is there a site with a repository of user-created Schematica files? I don't really have the knack for base design, and my usual base ends up being a block of inter-connected 9x9s dug out of the underground, with the occasional larger room when I need it. So basically...

    When do you nether?

    Obsidian TiCon tools can mine ardite/cobalt, unless something external changes the mining levels. I generally replace the head of my mining hammer with Obsidian just for this. Also, I think I'm going to add a good bow to my list of things needed for any serious Nethering. Being able to snipe...

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    Yesterday I discovered the /effect command. Following that I discovered that: It is possible to survive the void under the map. You just need high regeneration (I later looked it up, and regen 6 is high enough. 255 was just overkill) 50 bonus health is not enough to survive a fall from 500...

    When do you nether?

    Assuming you're referring to my post, I'm not entirely sure where you got that I was saying I needed nether for TiCon doubling. Really, TiCon is usually my first doubling mechanic, and what I was saying is that I'll usually wait to Nether until I have access to some other form of ore doubling...

    When do you nether?

    Depends on the pack and if there are mods within the pack I want to focus on. Generally, I wait until I have ore doubling that isn't a TiCon Smeltery. If there's no pressing need for glowstone or Quartz I'll probably wait until I have something with Fortune 3 on it, usually through a Luck 3...

    FTB beyond power gen

    My last playthrough of an FTB pack, I went with RFTools Endergenic generators using this SCM circuit. I used an EnderIO spawner and a Killer Joe with a looting+3 Ender Sword to get pearls for it. I think each 5-endergen setup produces 20k rf/t when it's properly adjusted, more if you infuse the...

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    The good news? Refined Storage has Blocking Mode for patterns. The bad news? Said mode was introduced in the 1.11 port, which means it's not in FTB Beyond. Since I want to automate Botania runes this playthrough, I guess I'll be doing AE. At least meteorites are disabled.

    How do you fuel your Blood Powers?

    Cursed earth. Manual sacrificing to start, well of suffering once I reach that point. If I'm feeling particularly fancy I'll automate slate creation with a ComputerCraft/OpenComputers program I wrote.

    Ways to move water in 1.10.2?

    Ender IO has reservoirs which can be set up in any shape, and as long as you have more than two buckets stored it'll produce ~1 bucket a second iirc. Industrialcraft 2 has a pump, but I haven't seriously worked with that mod since...I can't even remember when. Mekanism has a pump that, fully...

    Who knows how to spell OpenComputers

    Been a while since I've used OC for anything complex, but I'll answer questions as I can. For your first question, you're probably looknig for the event API: http://ocdoc.cil.li/api:event Basically, either use event.pull to grab the event directly, or event.listen if you want to register a...

    Mekanism fusion reactor won't ignite

    If I remember my testing recently, it needs a bit more power. I'd try things out in creative so you're not wasting power in your main save figuring things out.

    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    Mekanism has a few machines that are intentionally fixed functionality for sides. For example the rotary condenstrator does gasses on the left and liquids on the right. Or the electrolytic separator, which will take the input liquid from the front, and will output the first gas to the left and...

    Auto wither killing

    Your post is a bit hard to parse, so I'm just going to tell you how I have mine set up: Two RFTools Shield Projectors. Red Shield templates for the floor, then the walls and ceiling as blue. 5x5x5 interior. Projector for floor is solid for everything, Projector for walls and ceiling is set to...

    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    Mekanism machines that don't have configurable sides. Actually, same thing for any mod's machines like this, but my most recent experience is with mekanism.

    automate the ender dragon in mc1.10

    Is it possible? I tried googling but the stuff I found uses thaumcraft's corporeal attractor, which is obviously not available in this version at the moment.
