    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    @Nephrahim You may be able to do better, producing coke means producing creosote oil, and there are ways to turn that into power. Also, you could go the liquefied coal route with TE, those 4 coal could be turned into 900,000 - 64,000 = 836,000 RF. Wait, you said coal *ore* ? Then its even...

    What's new in modded minecraft today?

    Having a single place where a lot of short and to the point updates are posted on mods is very convenient. I have checked this thread once every day, for years now. The work is (quietly) appreciated! :) I hope someone will pick up the slack. If not, then this will be the end of an era.

    Best way to reduce lag from generators turning on and off (Or any other interesting solutions)

    The EnderIO power monitor has a build-in Schmitt trigger, you can set it to turn on a redstone signal below a certain % and turn it off above a certain %.(or the other way around) Only one power monitor is needed. "Schmitt trigger", or "Hysteresis circuit" are names for the type of circuit...

    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    The mod "Quark" changes the textures of Andesite, Granite, and Diorite slightly. They look very close to vanilla and yet, a lot better. More importantly, Quark changes the way these generate so that you can find them in very large deposits, rarely, and they don't spawn all over the place. This...

    [1.12.2] Factory Tech: A challenging automation-focused tech mod (October 29: 1.6)

    This is very similar to how the immersive engineering Excavator works. Each chunk has a chance of having some vein, supposedly below bedrock. The presence type and size of the vein are generated and stored per chunk, abstractly. You can find this information with a core sample drill. Once you...

    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    I think it can be compared to the good old steam dynamo fueled by charcoal from an automated tree farm setup. Except that a tree farm breaks blocks in-game, so this set up is friendlier to your computer, and or the server.

    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    There is a mod called "underground biomes complex" that does something like that. It only works on ores the mod is compatible with. It may be that UBC is a part of that modpack. This doesn't actually solve the problem though, the ores that enter your inventory are still the same as without UBC...

    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    It could be done like in forestry, where the fancier wood types are all gated by having to go through the genetics game. No boss fights, and still, you have to put time and effort into getting to them. I know not everyone likes the genetics game, but that is beside the point. The point is, boss...

    Problem (Solved) Butterfly Plague (1.7.10)

    Eh, no, that wouldn't disable the module, only stop them from spawning. And If that setting worked as advertised, then you wouldn't have 10k entities since it is set to only 100 by default. What I meant was this setting in: modules.cfg B:lepidopterology=false Setting this to false will disable...

    Simple Early Power Gen DW20 1.12.2

    Yes, because they are two different things, both IRL and in game. (so this is not a case of tomáto/tomàto) Resin is the stuff you get from tree's. Rosin is the muck that is left over after processing the resin. Resin is turned into tree-oil, Rosin can be used as solid fuel, or slime-ball...

    Problem (Solved) Butterfly Plague (1.7.10)

    Personally, i just disable the butterflies in the configs. When you do, tree breeding is done by bees instead. This gives the added benefit of giving you more control over the area effected by forestry cross-pollinated leafs. Preventing your nearby automated farms from getting forestry saplings...

    Problem Does anyone get logged out using the Twitch launcher?

    No! emphatically no! Do not use the same password for more than one account! Twitch-account is not mojang-account. Hambeau was saying you need to make sure the twitch launcher is using the right mojang-password to launch minecraft. But that is a different password (and different setting) than...

    CoFH Thermal Expansion colour blind codes

    No, there is also a disabled or closed state. This disabled state makes it so that no slots can be accessed through that side. The open no-color means that both the in and out slots can be accessed through that side, but the sides are not automated by the TE machine. This can be useful for mods...

    Question about lighting options?

    Small correction: A torch emits LL 14, glowstone emits LL 15. (details, I know, but I couldn't resist ) @Psychicash Immersive Engineering has Powered Lantern, which, if powered, stop mobs from spawning in a 16 block square radius. (so a 32 by 32 area) It doesn't use light levels to do so, it...

    Logistics Pipes + Storage Drawers System HELP!

    Yes, sorry, my fault, I forgot to mention that the polymorphic item sink does require the inventory to be pre-populated with the items you want to store in that inventory. Alternatively, you can use a normal item sink module and configure its filter, but storage drawers have their own way of...

    Logistics Pipes + Storage Drawers System HELP!

    LP terminology can be a bit confusing. It all makes sense, terminology is used correctly and consistently, but until you "get it" it will be confusing. A request pipe can be used to request items from the system, those items will then be moved into the inventory the request pipe is connected...

    Quick inventory trix?

    The Mouse tweaks mod is a part of D20's pack. Just read the instructions on the page I linked to. Personally I prefer Item Scroller. But That's me.

    I feel like in modded Minecraft, vanilla structures became a lot more rare

    I find plenty of vanilla structures in my modded experience. Though in some new worlds I have more luck than in others. Did you enable "generate structures" on world creation? It is enabled by default, so if you didn't change any settings it should be. If so, then it could just be dumb bad luck.
