    MultiFarm Problems?

    I ran into similar problems when trying to grow wheat in the DW20 pack. It was pulling stupid amounts of water. Solution was to put a water 'moat' 1 block wide around the outside my farm. After that it worked like a charm.

    Them HUGE redwood trees?

    Sounds like you may be using the wrong sapling. You need to get the saplings by breaking leaves on the huge trees. The smaller redwood trees from BOP only use a 3x3 grid of saplings.

    [ComputerCraft] How do I call these things?

    I think the term you are looking for is "function call" 'print' is a function print("hello") is a function call Same with digDown, clear and sleep

    1.6 Alternative to RC Boilers for 100MJ+ power ?

    well I know you said 'no engine spam' but I found using a bunch of biogas engines with a sapling farm and fermenter has served my needs nicely. You can lay them out in a grid or 'U' shape around your biogas tank and the whole setup is pretty compact. Only thing is you will need 20 engines to...

    Forum update 7/11/13

    how can we get the old theme back? Or set our own colors? This is obnoxious .... My 12yr old niece might like the new look. I dont. Too much white, and too high of a contrast. If you must change the border colors - consider changing them to black, or dark/grey but not this pink/red schtuff.

    Poll: Should mods download other mods?

    Id say never. If a mod requires some other mod thats not present, it should stop with an error message. Also - the whole notion of "its a well known mod, so its fine" Well known to WHO? something thats well known to the ftb community (TiC) is not well known to a newbie minecraft player...

    Auto-crafting

    if you have an AE network setup, just put an import and export bus onto the autocrafting table and ignore it for a while. The export bus will eventually fill it up with 9 stacks of cobble and add more as needed. the import bus will remove the compressed cobblestone. Then just repeat the process...

    Look Ma! No Bees! (or: How To Make Trees Breed Themselves)

    I tried this same setup in the 1.6.4 server I play on. Started on an island and enclosed the entire thing in glass. While the butterflies DO spawn, and they DO crossbreed trees - I dont think they breed trees any faster than bees. and based on observation between 1.5.2 and 1.6.4 - they are...

    Cubic Chunks! Cubic Chunks!

    Another option is to make regular stone harder to mine the deeper you go, and then have quarries / turtles /etc take this into account. They will still use the same amount of energy, but take more time. or mabye require more energy to mine blocks in the same amount of time. Unfortunately all...

    Cubic Chunks! Cubic Chunks!

    Actually it is solveable - by doing lighting differently. Currently the MC lighting system relies on having a "connection to the sky" but with an infinitely tall world, you cant really tell where the sky will be. So to fix, you split the lighting up into different types: Torchlight and...

    Walnut Multifarm ate its own nuts..?

    I just ran into the same problem last nite. I setup a Manual farm with some beechnut, pecan and 1 cherry. Since I needed seed oil right away, i took a stack of bonemeal and applied to all the leaves i could reach. I saw the animations of the multifarm harvesting the nuts as I was applying the...

    Cubic Chunks! Cubic Chunks!

    I thought thats exactly what the OP meant by "spherical render /load distance" ? To me, "bubble" is close enough to the same shape as "Sphere" Using a sphere makes the most sense. But you could also do a cube. edit - seems others already had the same idea, and worded it better.

    Cubic Chunks! Cubic Chunks!

    I like the idea of infinite chunks. this is after all MINEcraft where the point is to dig for stuff. but if your always running into the bottom of the world then digging becomes quite a pain. Performance increases are great. For those who dont understand how, just assume it WILL be faster...

    Custom World Gen

    There is a plugin called TerrainControl (cant get link right now). It was originally for bukkit, but they have a forge version you can use. It will replace the existing ore generators (and then some). However, it may be overkill if you just want to mess with vanilla ore generation, and it...

    How do you design your big builds

    Aside from the initial hole in the ground, I try to build everything to be "infinitely expandable" meaning they will stack up / down / left /right as far as I. both large and small. Large being the various rooms for my base. Last build was a series of 17x17 square pyramids. Small is pretty...

    Config Help for hard/balanced gameplay.

    The better forestry saplings are where its at. I spent the time to breed up some nice blue mahoe (modified) saplings. When I put a single stack of these things in the fermemter, it could not pump the biomass out fast enough -- it maxed out my liquiduct. I had to add a 2nd one to keep it from...

    Applied energistics question

    wups - good catch there. thus is what I get for posting when distracted. so to re-write it correctly: for glass: setup a powered furnace with an export bus to give it sand. Add an import bus to accept the glass. setup a level emitter pointing at the furnace to "emit when levels are below...

    Applied energistics question

    your making it too complicated with all that... for glass: setup a powered furnace with an import bus to give it sand. setup a level emitter pointing at the furnace to "emit when levels are below limit" set amount to whatever (I use 512) setup the furnace to run only on a redstone signal...
