Hm... Can vis capacitors be used to make a silverwood tree grow? I never tested that to see if it was possible, oddly enough. If it is, then slow draining then popping up capacitor + hoe the silverwood seems like it might be a better approach, since if you drain the whole vis network you have a...

A thought: Vanilla cobble gen + Charging Wand of Excavation? Arcane Bore or Arcane Levitators? Arcane Levitators are a good one because you can AFK while the vis is being drained. They constantly use up Vis as long as they're working, so, pop one down, get up on it, and wait until there's no...

Transmuting insane amounts of iron into gold might do the trick. When you start quarrying, you always get more iron than you can use anyway.

Dark Nodes are actually pretty awesome for some things. Some things being Thaumic Bees and Tesla-Coil or Dart Combat Golem based Wisp killing. You collect aspects so fast you don't even NEED to burn items for research, because you've got so many wisp essences. Potion effects are really rare and...

Thaumcraft gives you some nice toys to play around with. Some are for creative and fun builds, like the arcane levitator, the arcane ear, the warded blocks. The arcane ear is fairly interesting in that you can use it as an alternative to Wireless Redstone, with a more limited reach. It can also...

UU Matter is still more useful than using the Mining Laser... It gives you more control over what specifically you'll get. The Mining Laser is more comparable to opening random scrap boxes, although with a much better yield and control over what you'll get, as well as more useful products...

Fish can be scary as fuck, too. There's a species of angler fish that has an absolutely batshit insane mating ritual. The male angler fish produces an acid which dissolves the skin and flesh of the female angler fish, who is much larger, as well as most of his own mouth and tongue, and then...

Any instability other than Decay can be circumvented with Quantum Suit and force fields. Also, Oil->Fuel generates so much more MJ/EU than Lava that by the time the pump has dried out the area and needs to be moved, it's possible you have so much excess that you don't even need to move the pump...

It's not. Check out Martysgames channel on youtube, his Modded Magic Survival series, in particular. He uses BC, Forestry, RP2, etc, and it all works out. He even partly automates the processing and smeltery.

Ok, i have one word for you to think about fish, and then we'll talk... Piranha.

More bosses are always nice, but there are a lot of mods out there that do that. Dragons in the overworld, etc... I don't think adding more bosses or more powerful mobs is really a good idea until MC has a better AI... All mobs right now are based on artificial difficulty (More damage, more...

6% increase in CPU usage just for using 4 Fabricators in line to produce Redstone Engines? That's a LOT. People use Fabricators everywhere nowadays it seems. If only 4 can cause such a spike in CPU use, what do you think multiple people using several in different places would do to a server? A...

The stuff i remember reading about these methods had 1) Always revolved being at the spawn loading chunk boundary 2) Severely limited in the amount of chunks you can keep loaded with these contraptions... 1) is hard in SMP because more often than not, you either get griefed a lot, have a massive...

I remember reading somewhere that redstone can interact with loaded and unloaded chunks in some strange ways. I recall reading someone using pistons to load more chunks near spawn, which always has a certain amount of loaded chunks in order for the players to respawn in on. Crucial in some...

My feelings here is that everyone would be forever grateful if KL could do for item transport what he did for liquid and power transport... Doesn't matter if it's molten diamonds or molten iridium, or frikken neutron matter needed to craft it, i want it.

I personally like them, i know you can disable them yourself, my complaints are about how server owners can't stop their players from using it.

Ars Magica would have you covered, but alas, it has not been added to DW20 pack yet, and likely won't be to Ultimate, since apparently the author doesn't wish to give permissions out like candy :S; However, it has a block that uses essence to repair items, and it can work with damn nearly...

Uh oh someone's having a baaaad day.

I like aspects of both. I hate the way mobs are rendered on Voxel Minimap as i find it too intrusive. It's cave mod is MUCH better than Rei's though. but Rei's wins with the non-intrusive Waypoints that are visible regardless of distance. Voxel's Zoom and level of detail are better, as well as...

Know what would make it stand out? Make it output a relatively large amount of power, but to only do so when actively wound up... And dramatically increase the speed at which power is reduced when not being wound up. Then it's useful as a starter engine again, if you plan for it accordingly...
