    Confessions: I never ... even though I'm told I should.

    On the subject of things I hadn't done and should have (but I just tried it 10 minutes ago and laughed out loud)...Using a portal on the moon to clear terrain. Don't get too close, but ...SWWOOOP! Mountain gone! LOL

    Confessions: I never ... even though I'm told I should.

    Relying on it, or installing mo'creatures? (the latter, I don't disagree with...but it's not my server :) )

    Is that limit per face? Crud, I've never seen that documented. that explains part of my mining well woes.

    [DW20] Thaumcraft Enchantment Questions

    Yeah, but it ends up feeling like more trouble than it's worth since the aspects aren't often in nice amounts (2, 4, or 8). I use Bane 4 books for precantio sometimes, but that's about it. I am, admittedly, very lazy ^_^ I meant a thaumium one, yes. When I tried it before, it went in the...

    [DW20] Thaumcraft Enchantment Questions

    I'll have to try the direct enchant again at some point. Very good to know. For my setup, I have an XP turtle with a simple autoenchant script that I turn on or off depending on whether I need the levels or the books. I'll just fire it up and let it run for a few days at a time. :) I have a...

    [DW20] Thaumcraft Enchantment Questions

    That is very interesting. I could not get the enchanting table to accept a grafter at all

    [DW20] Thaumcraft Enchantment Questions

    He wouldn't have removed Repair books completely, though (I hope), since the Thaumic Grafter can only be enchanted by book, and the description of the grafter tells you that you can put repair on it. I think they're just stupid rare. That's why I have xp turtles.

    AE ate my diamonds :(

    I have an interesting tidbit to add to the pot. On my server we have three people getting into AE. The first (and primary) system was built with default color lines. A second system was built not far away, yet kept separate, also with default blue lines. The last few days I have noted a...

    Biofuel creation question

    I believe that the still is considered to be the most efficient in terms of efficiency and power used. I know it's more efficient (10 buckets of biomass give 3 buckets of biofuel, vs 12 buckets of biomass generating 3 buckets of biofuel), and that alone suggests that the power requirements...

    Wither Skeletons & heads

    heh. I wonder if a wall of mining laser turtles could kill him. ^_^

    Your Favorite Computer Craft Program Ever

    This, in spades. Whenever I need sand, I steal it from my induction smelter line. Can usually guarantee three stacks per smelter, and it fills back in darn fast. ;) Fly? Boots of the traveller! Two jumps and I can walk up the side of any dome known to Steve :) Though the resupply station...

    Your Favorite Computer Craft Program Ever

    Yeah, I'd see that thread. It's very cool also, but domes are all I need ^_^ Best building structure known to man (or Steve). :)

    Help With Applied Energistics

    You'll want to make an ME Interface and plop the fabricator down right next to it. Depending on what you want to do with it, I highly recommend having a dark cable and level emitter handy so you can limit the input. Anyway, put your design in the fabricator, then in the interface, you'll want...

    Help With Applied Energistics

    In simple terms, what he said. First, get AE quartz. A lot of it. A stack at least to start with. Make an ME interface, an ME chest (or drive bay), and a controller. Hook the controller up to a power source and ignore it unless you're having issues. Melt some quartz dust into silicon...

    Current Projects and Suggestions

    AE, if you've done redpower before. If not, flip a coin. I've had a lot of fun playing with the AE setup, including my 'wall of destroying stuff I don't need to keep more than 10 stacks of'. ;)

    Need Assistance With an Automated Boiler

    If that was the case, I'd just void it. It's not worth crossing power systems just to get a few extra units of heat when the planks work just fine. ;) Bleh. It would technically be 3 in my case and MIGHT handle 4 (2 solid, 2 liquid) if there were no other drains on the biofuel/biomass. But...

    Need Assistance With an Automated Boiler

    For the cart, the common configuration I've seen is a coal engine, a solar engine, side chests, and a woodcutter on a standard frame. Sometimes a fertilizer, but it's hardly necessary. Set the solar engine to high, the coal engine to low. Fill the engines with wood logs and the woodcutter with...

    Best lagfree sorting system? Pipes vs Tubes

    I've been working on filling out an AE system on a server for a few days now. It's...fun. Well, that's a good thing I guess since I play to have fun, right? :) Anyway, I've only been able to get 5 drives into the system so far (3 64k and 2 16ks), even though we're quarrying like mad. I've been...
