I'm watching Direwolf's new spotlight on Botania, and just getting into the most basic of basics I've already learned two things that I wish I had known sooner: 1) You can bonmeal flowers to get tall flowers 2) You can plant a petal by r-clicking and then bonemeal that to get a tall flower...

I know there's the builder (rftools), blood magic has the magnetism/crusher combo, and AA and IC2 have machines that dig smaller holes. Anything else? Bonus points if it can apply either fortune or silk touch.

I usually don't go for a hammer until I've got a basic smeltery up and running, and since that's usually my first source of ore doubling it tends to be fairly early game for me. I currently have two hammers: The first is my usual mining special: It started off as Iron head, Green Slime Plate...

I noticed with that episode he had to go back and "reset" the output on the ESD when a new chest was added to the system so it recognized the new slots. May or may not have been your issue. Either way, something a person could easily miss, so figure I'd mention.

EnderIO's magnet can be right-clicked to turn off. It seems to draw power as a function of time instead of items, but also seems fairly less power hungry overall. Botania adds a "free" magnet you can make as soon as you have...8 pieces of manasteel and a piece of gold, I think. At least, last I...

And if you name it Direwolf20, you get a little enderman head icon there. I wonder what other names have an effect like this?

I'm running a diamond-tier storage-emphasis backpack which is pretty much WTFFFS's "Void this crap" pack, with a "dump everything into a chest" tacked on as well. Not super-useful at the moment (really only good for dumping stuff into Storage Drawers), but eventually I'll be building my base...

Actually Additions does has the Fluid Placer, which is fairly cheap to make and basically does turn the Heat Collector into pump lava in, get power out. Of course, said power is 40 rf/tick for a 3x3x1 area. I'm not entirely convinced that's worth it when I can get the same power from a EIO coal...

There appears to be a 1-tick propagation delay for some components in super circuit maker, most notably redstone torches and levers. This can lead to some interesting interactions. I discovered this trying to make a cell that needed two inputs to turn on, but one input to turn off: Two inputs...

I've done a couple playthroughs using the Curse Client to make my own pack on 1.9/1.10, as mods updated. At first, EZ Storage was the only existing "mass storage" thing. Then we got Refined Storage, a new-ish mod that self-advertises as a "AE1" style mod for 1.9 and later 1.10. I loved having...

Example spell is in the spoilers block. Just copy to clipboard and paste it in.

A vector is a 3-number construct that can either represent a position (like where you're standing), or a direction (like where you're looking). In this case, it's a position. Here's a fairly simple example of how to use "closest to point" First, we have Selector: Caster. We get two vectors...

Actually, you have it backwards. "Target", refers to the target list, while position specifies "closest to what". Also, if you hold down shift while hovering over a piece, you can see what type each input is. That can help a lot with understanding how a given piece works.

Is it possible to plant seeds using place block? I can't seem to get it to work. Using beta-18, and I tested that it's placing a block where I expect with a different block. If place block doesn't work with seeds, could we get a trick for planting?

I'm loving this mod so far. A couple comments: 1) Last I checked, getting to The End is a bit of a pain. I'd prefer an intermediate CAD assembly between psimetal and end-specific, and maybe a boost to the end-specific materials. 2) having unit x, y, and z vectors as their own piece would be a...

Golems don't want to replant, and Progressive Automation planters wont plant them. I'd appreciate knowing if there's a mod, either in the pack or available for 1.8.9 that can automate these. I'm wanting to use bean soup for the gourmaryllis, since it'd be faster than my current source of a golem...

Got a new one from today. I'm playing Unstable 1.8, and setting up a golem-run cow farm. I completely miss the existence of the butcher seal, and try the advanced guard seal instead. Result: it's killing them all. Only when I go back and watch the relevant direwolf20 server play episode do I...

My preference is for the Autumn Saplings, specifically the goldenrod ones (Not sure if they differ in just color or also growth mechanics, so figured I'd mention). When they grow large, I think I've seen upwards of 32, and they grow large with reasonable frequency. I might try out a cycle of...

Curious what others are using to fuel their central boiler. I was thinking blaze rod blocks, but looking at the disparity of production per essence(A harvest of a 7x7 area gets me 32 coal blocks vs 8 blaze lamps, and blaze rods are only half again as strong as coal) , I actually think regular...

Well, with a combination of Automagy magic timers and redcrystal, vanilla Minecraft droppers and repeaters, and Botania ranuncarpuses, I have successfully automated the running of my dandelifeon setup. The only issue is that ranuncorpuses occasionally will "eat" a cellular block without placing...
