Yeah, I made an induction smelter before I made the arc furnace and I don't make an arc furnace at all in a regular pack because it doesn't offer anything. I think there are plenty of things in IE that are worth building. I like the power gen, the powered lights also work as mini-magnum...

It was due to having to make the arc furnace in the first place. Then make 96 coke for the electrodes, then pulverize the coke, then squeeze it, then craft it into electrodes(in a mod crafting bench I'll most likely never use again), electrodes that wear out. Think I lost ~5% durability simply...

What I don't like about the arc furnace in a regular pack is that it doesn't add anything significant. It doesn't add any sort of speed/efficiency increase that you really need at the point in time you can build it. That makes it a "one-off", a machine you build, use once or twice to build...

Gating stuff behind the arc furnace means it'll be stuff I do not build if I have any other option. Simply crafting two rods for the rolling machine was a nightmare.

Yeah, I made that same discovery today with a quarry. Left you know what floating there. Made a portal gun too, mining trips so much easier now. Kind of funny that coal is the most precious resource in my reactor project.

That was aura nodes.

Cardboard box moved spawners last time I tried it.

I would have turned them into emeralds but the first one I tossed in the smeltery left a gravestone that broke the smeltery. Every one after that got to watch a piston retract, letting loose a stream of water that forced them to walk a plank over the abyss. I did get quite a few other good...

After 3 days of turning my base into a giant villager spawner the blueprint is mine.

Forgot about the cardboard box, should have made some of these as soon as I had a carpenter.

You find any of these? :p The urge to use these right now is pretty intense. Seems like the smart move would be to save them for the last two slots, though.

I found another trick. My smeltery is tall enough for enderman to spawn in and other than my mob cells it is the only place nearby mobs can spawn, particularly during the day. Leave a bit of molten metal in there to kill the mobs, come back to a smeltery with blood and liquid ender in it, lol...

2nd one is rf tools dimensional shards. Getting a handful of them before actually making other dimensions can be a bit of a shortcut to a few things.

Check out those starting trades. 3 good mod trades and a good vanilla emerald trade. Wonder if oreberries could be a valid path. Better yet, wonder if I can get essence berry bushes as a trade?

Well, I finally chickened out today and turned off hardcore mode with NBTExplorer. :)

I found 4 villager spawn eggs when I went looking for mfr rubber tree saplings, I'll have an IE villager not long after I turn on the mood lighting in their huts.

I'm pretty sure you can stack the sprinkler effect too so overlap them if you want even more speed.

Loot bag or chest loot my only option for Arc furnace electrode blueprint? I do get villager zombies in the mobfarm now and then. Perhaps I can cure one of them and then throw it in an autospawner and run it until I get an IE villager to trade with?

That chest is from when I found that spot and did a bit of manual mining. Whatever was in it got left behind so I had room in the packs for more ore. :) Man, 1.0.3 slow to hit the launcher.

Quarry finished up a big job so I took it over to that nice vein I told you about it. Gold, Silver, Lead, Nickel, Certus, Titanium, Ferrous, Osmium, Platinum, and Yellorite. Craaazy.
