    A little too much mob essence?

    mob spawner with witches for glowstone, redstone, sticks, and bottles. that's pretty a pretty useful conversion

    AE2 Discussion

    No lie...I have the website open and I'm still not sure what I'm looking at. And I like to think I was halfway decent with AE1. Yikes.

    Upscaling RF power output

    Bioreactors and biofuel generators. If you're doing DW, then a combination of logistics pipes and applied energistics will -easily- keep the system running smoothly and stocked. You can also use the infinite lapis/ink sac trick (wool, dye the wool, pulverize the wool, repeat) to add some...

    Thaumcraft 4 Flux

    I found that you can swim in it and suck the taint into yourself. A little bit of taint poisoning is pretty easy to deal with

    MFR Bioreactor Question

    No problem. The sewers all have +2 or +3 upgrades (the room is actually oversized for the purpose).

    MFR Bioreactor Question

    If you're asking me, my tree farm is completely underground. I don't have any natural light. The room has a 15 block high ceiling. As indicated, I wouldn't ever bother with a tree farm that's not being run off industrial fertilizer (or uses some other crazy-good form of growth accel like a...

    OK I give up, what is the Bioreactor?

    I don't use fertilizer except as an early boost to production. I use the sewer-composter-fertilizer line, exclusively, with 1x1 tree farms. Later I might throw fertilizer in, but that's just to get rid of whatever apatite I've gathered while mining.

    MFR Bioreactor Question

    Wonder if that's because of the recent MFR changes. I don't know what 'modest power needs' are, but I've got a single tree farm chopping up MFR rubber trees feeding 2 redstone furnaces. Those furnaces are keeping 9 steam dynamos fully stocked at all times. They, in turn, feed a hardened...

    ME - What Storage Amount? (1k - 64k)

    +1 to anyone above who said offline or hybrid storage. I use 4k drives almost exclusively unless I'm making a specialized system. Cobble, dirt, stone, sand...all the 'wow, I really have 4000 of that?' items go into barrels with storage buses for control and access, with excess being run into...

    Best way to make large amounts of TC Alumite?

    If it hasn't already been mentioned, you can probably use translocators in regulate mode to keep the exact amounts of materials in question in the smeltery.

    Help with Ars Magica 2 Neutral Nexus linking ???

    I think it's less of 'noob with the magic thing' as much as 'not quite as obvious as the mod maker intended'. Seriously..how many mods would you be able to understand if you went into it cold, with no input, no youtube, no NEI, and no forums full of awesome people (HI awesome people!) to help...

    Help with Ars Magica 2 Neutral Nexus linking ???

    Occasionally I have the same problem. With a combination of maniac right clicking and flipping the lever, it usually resolves after a half dozen tries.

    Need help with Twilight Forest ???

    Best guess is that the mob is ignoring armor. At a guess, enchantments have an effect, and that's it.

    Azanor presents Thaumcraft 4.1 Research

    It's been too long since I've done that kind of coding, but the theory is simple enough for the script/web page version. You input starting and ending aspects, with minimum distance, and (given that there are only 50-odd types), probably perform a depth-first, max depth (minimum distance +3 or...

    Most Durable Tinkers Construct Pickaxe??

    Hopefully Metallurgy will rebalance some of the metals and alloys soon. There are some strictly and obviously best choices that render almost everything else useless. Almost from the moment you get your smeltery, Damascus Steel is available, and makes a very solid choice for a long time...

    Just a moment of your time. (Thaumcraft Research Puzzle)

    You can usually tell with some confidence if a research will be impossible by activating one aspect and counting the number of lit nodes. With the help of the thaumcraft cheat sheets on these forums, you can do some simple multiplication to determine how many lit nodes you will have to work...

    Azanor presents Thaumcraft 4.1 Research

    I give it 90 minutes before someone writes a script that displays the 'shortest' distance between two aspects.

    Simulating Sunlight at Bedrock Level.

    That's easier when you don't come up with ideas on your drive in to work :)

    Simulating Sunlight at Bedrock Level.

    Would that work? I was thinking of doing something similar with that and couldn't figure out if light would pass through a quantum block.

    [Guide] Metallurgy Metal Statistics Sheet

    If it wasn't for Damascus Steel, I would never have found any steel. Manganese is practically non-existent on my server, or I just don't know how to find it. I do think that a good argument should be made that Shadow Steel and Black Steel should be buffed to at least steel levels of...
