    I Derp, You Derp, We all Derp, What's your's?

    Step 1) MFR Autospawner with Zombies, because I want more zombie heads for my zombie generators Step 2) Hey, I'm getting a lot of zombie brains, and they get a better multiplier than rotten flesh in the vat. Let's use them instead Step 3) Replace zombie safari net with something else Step 4)...

    I Derp, You Derp, We all Derp, What's your's?

    Another entry in my frame quarry saga today.Was trying to figure out why I wasn't getting ores from my frame quarry, figured the issue was with the chunk loader. I was partially right. Turns out chunk loaders are turned off by redstone signals and that placing one right next to the redstone...

    I Derp, You Derp, We all Derp, What's your's?

    There were probably at least a half dozen derps involved in building my first frame quarry. It uses an arcane bore as the main digger, and has a wall of Annihilation planes to dig forward. Among the list: -Frame slider getting "ahead" of frame puller. Fixed by switching puller to pusher so it...

    Dealing With Lava For A Frame Quarry?

    I'm building a frame quarry with a Thaumcraft Arcane Bore as its core mining piece. Thing is, I'm building it in that aroma1997 mining dimension, which while flat has a surface y-level of 80, and the arcane bore mines ~70 blocks down, so I'm going to partially bury it with some annihilation...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    A quick update on my question about unlocking the Thaumonomicon's Elderich tab, since I finally unlocked it. 1) The unlock event is a variant of the "Strange whispers reveal secrets to you" event. The only difference (other than unlocking the tab) is that you get a couple research points for...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Another quick question. Does anyone know of a mod that adds vis relays which can accept multiple inputs? It's kind of annoying having to either find a hungry node or wait for nodes to merge (especially with node merging being so lossy).

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    You can rename a Thaumcraft wand focus in an anvil, and when you hover over it in the wand focus selector it'll show the new name. Never had a reason to try this before, but I think I want a couple variants of the upgraded shock focus, and this makes telling which is which much easier.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Two quick questions regarding the Elderich Tab in Thaumcraft's Thaumonomicon 1) I understand it unlocks as a warp effect. What's the message you get when it happens? 2) If the vast majority of my warp is temporary (I think I've researched maybe two "mostly harmless" forbidden knowledge things)...

    Why does the TE Induction Smelter not have a Pulverized Silver recipe?

    I'm playing the Direwolf20 1.7 pack, recommended version if that matters. Thermal Foundation/Expansion/Dynamics all look to be the latest versions. There seem to be Induction Smelter Recipes for the other pulverized metals, but not Silver. Wondering if this is a bug/oversight or is intended.

    Agricultural/interesting power to mid game?

    I'm currently going with Zombie Generators. Got a 9x9 netherwart farm currently tended by MFR, and I'm using zombie flesh for the other reagent. I'm getting all I need from a cursed earth mobfarm, but you might need to do a powered spawner with a zombie depending on whether you got lucky and...

    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    This less Minecraft/Computercraft and more LUA, but as a programmer it drives me absolutely insane that indices start at 1 instead of 0.

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    According to the readout from openperipherals, the item valve's inventory size grows dynamically. Basically, "slot" 1 is always empty, and then there's a slot for each "stack" of stackable items. I haven't really experimented to see if there's a hard limit on how many slots it can have at one...

    SFM=steve's factory manager.

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    Today I discovered two things. First, openperipherals works with a Steve's Factory Manager item valve, and sees the in-world items. Reasonably cool, lets me use CC to automate an AE2 crystal growth contraption. The other thing is a small mod called CC's Factory Manager. Only adds two items, a...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Do any of the mods in the Mage Quest pack have a way to make a spawner spawn faster or an alternative? Looking to speed up reinforced rune production so I can get a well of suffering going, and it's very slow going.

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    Been playing Mage Quest, and today I learned that the mob with the ghast-like cry and tears running down its face A) is from the mod Necromancy, B) is called Isaac, and C) Is deceptively dangerous. Seriously. That thing starts off like a skeleton on crack and it only gets worse.

    How to find a neather fortress on FTB INFINITY?

    Nether Fortresses tend to spawn in strips north to south, so it's recommended searching east or west.

    Magic Based auto-crafting options?

    I'm doing a primarily magic-focused playthrough of FTB Infinity, and at this point I'm about to start automating some things. My farm is easy enough, but I'd like to automate creation of the food I'm using to power my Gourmaryllis (and probably some other things down the line). So far, my...

    Best food for Botania Gourmaryllis?

    So I installed Applecore to get a look at the hunger values, and went through Harvestcraft's foods with NEI. Here's what I found promising: Spring Salad:letuce+another veggie for 4.5 +1 (5.5) if you add a cucumber Hash: 5.5 for onion, potato, tofu, and ketchup (tomato) Chili: Beans...

    Best food for Botania Gourmaryllis?

    I've actually been wondering about this myself. I've been thinking one of the PB&J sandwiches, once I've gotten a hold of a peanut seed through agricraft's mutation. A couple steps, but I didn't feel like setting up a cow or pig farm and it's easy enough to get all the ingredients. I'm poking...
