    Finding an End Portal

    And that's about all the time it takes, if there are no problems with worldgen or portal creation. I've been on the stiff side of luck more times than not. Out of my last 10 worlds, I've tried to find end portals in 7 or 8 of them, and only managed in 3. The portals did not even exist.

    Finding an End Portal

    Having been in a half-dozen worlds with no end portal already, I'd really enjoy a non-cheaty way to make up for junk destroying portals or rendering the ender-eyes useless. I mean, sure, there MIGHT be an end portal somewhere in this recent server world, but the ender eyes always go to...

    Ah. Thanks for the info.

    what issue would that be? I love those things! :)

    ExtraUtils trashcan issues

    Ah. That makes sense. I can guarantee I had multiples coming in at the same time. I'll have to give the hoppers a try if I get the chance. Thanks. Regarding Export Buses and level emitters: Yes, I know it will work with a trashcan. You're missing the point. A storage bus should work...

    ExtraUtils trashcan issues

    Well, 24 pairs of them, I think, based off the current setup. I had not had problems with this setup in the past, using barrels and a void chest. I just found the trashcan to be a nicer option because it seemed to destroy excess mats faster.

    ExtraUtils trashcan issues

    Anyone had issues feeding large amounts of stuff to a trashcan with AE? (for reference, unleashed 1.1.2) I've got barrels setup as priority 3 to receive wood, a priority 2 trashcan with the me storage bus setup to receive everything that I use barrels for, and then the default drives are...

    Automate RE Cell power with BC Gates

    Hadn't considered the possibility of engines with a warmup. I tend not to use them. Massive banks of engines could be an issue...I guess because you don't want the engines to dump 60000000 mj when you only need 600. I see. Yeah, hadn't considered those possibilities. Thanks

    Automate RE Cell power with BC Gates

    Just curious: Why would you do this thing with the second REC? I can see having a full one at all times (I keep mine in my force bag right now), but why wouldn't you just have your system setup to pulse the engines briefly when the REC is not full? My experience, such as it is, is that it...

    Computercraft and MFRs RedNet Cable Interaction Help!?

    colors.combine and colors.subtract will also work, but are probably just wrappers for those same bitwise functions.

    Computercraft and MFRs RedNet Cable Interaction Help!?

    As iarspider and draeath say, you want to use setBundledOutput with the different colors collectively to get the effect you're looking for. If you want to activate blue and green on the back side of the computer, then you'd want to include...

    Family Gaming

    It started when she got pregnant, yes, but didn't really improve. I've considered installing shoulder surfer to see if that would help since she never got ill while playing WoW. Something about having the character's body to focus on helping.

    Family Gaming

    Heh. My wife would love to be able to play, but gets headaches from playing. Something about a fishbowl effect (and that's with the viewing angle all the way down...she goes to the bathroom to hurl if I turn it up to quake pro levels) My son's too young, but watches, and my daughter claims...

    Ampz Mekanism recipe glitch?

    I can see the argument for the pulverzer having merit, though I think the lack of speed upgrades is something of a balancing mechanic vs competitors. For the induction furnace, I assume you're discussing the relative difficulty of balancing having rich slag vs not, and/or using it only with...

    Ampz Mekanism recipe glitch?

    Sounds like different needs at different levels of play. Yeah, I can see that. In what way do you view the induction furnace and pulverizer as low points of TE? I assume, based on the content of this conversation, that the lack of speed upgrades is a primary complaint?

    Ampz Mekanism recipe glitch?

    The ore tripling is quite compelling (does it work for all ores now? The last thing I saw on the subject it was only 4 types of ores, and one of those didn't triple). I like pulverizers, however, with copper, iron, and ferrous ores specifically for the small chance of other ores. Is 2*copper...

    Ampz Mekanism recipe glitch?

    What do you mean, 'impossible to get fire'? Like...a fire block? I'm running the Ampz 2.0.0 pack (with other stuff copied in...basically the opposite of what everyone else suggested), and aside from random bugs with universal cable and rotating machines, I haven't noticed any impossible...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Figured it out, for the record. There is a bug/interaction issue with the mekanism devices and universal cable (I don't have any of the other conductive piping and rotating with a wrench, so I don't know if it's just the machines or the cable). If you rotate the machine into a powered cable...

    Hmmm. Thanks for the response. I am not sure why the setup isn't working then. Very odd.
