    Tier 5 Spawner Not Working

    Are you on a 1.5 mod pack? I'm going to assume that you are, but if you aren't, then this may not be helpful. The problem you're having is not that the mobs no longer spawn when you're away, but that they are immediately despawning, per the rules of vanilla minecraft. The best bet to ensure...

    What options does the new Direwolf20 pack have for portable crafting tables? There's no EE or Dartcraft, so I'm looking for a Minium Stone/Clipboard replacement.

    Terraria

    I'm loving the new updates. I discovered a pyramid and got a pharoh's gown and mask, and found and killed a new bee boss in the Jungle. I'll be venturing into hardmode soon, but I'm building up my base a bit first and looking for a pair of Hermes Boots before I try that. Even in normal mode...

    Base Design

    My bases tend to either be huge flat areas with only an external wall, and different floor colours for areas with different functions, or a series of buildings made of different materials with different functions. The only thing they all have in common is that they're fairly flat, and they have...

    Deleting items w/ quarry

    Extra Utilities adds the Trashcan - that's definitely worth a try.

    Is vanilla mob spawning adjusted in FTB at all?

    Checking the Minecraft Wiki suggests that Zjarek is correct and this won't work with vanilla spawners, which is a shame. The system may stilll work with Cursed Earth or MFR's Auto-Spawner, but I can't seem to find any further info on that, so it may need a bit of testing.

    Is vanilla mob spawning adjusted in FTB at all?

    From what I've read, a chunk loaded area with no spawners and no player nearby will not spawn mobs. If there's a spawner in the area, the mobs will spawn, then instantly despawn due to no players being nearby. However, if there is no player anywhere in the dimension, a chunk loaded spawner will...

    MFR Auto-Spawner spends mob essence but doesnt spawn?

    I'm guessing the problem is that the mobs are spawning, then instantly despawning because no one is within range - I forget how far away you can get before this occurs, but it should have affected your soul shard spawners in the same way. One potential solution is to set up your spawner system...

    In that case, I don't think I know of anything that'll help, I'm afraid. TiCo scythes will clear lots of leaves with one swipe, but , but I don't think it affects drop rates, unless it works with a lapis upgrade. That'd be nice, but I'm just speculating.

    If your pack has Dartcraft, you have a chance to get Force Mitts from dungeon chests and Spoils Bags. I used them to clear the leaves from a couple of Silverwoods and ended up with about 40 saplings.

    What are you trying to extract the seeds with? I've had issues with an import bus - had to switch to transport pipes.

    Rubber Tree Farm in DW20 1.5.2 v2 (1.1.3)

    Most of the automation for a multifarm is straightforward enough - just connect your pipes of choice into the farm to extract the rubber and insert fertilizer. The only difficult part of automating multifarms is getting a renewable source of apatite. The only method I'm aware of is bees, but...

    Rubber Tree Farm in DW20 1.5.2 v2 (1.1.3)

    I've used two methods in the past for making rubber farms. I made them in Unleashed, but it looks like DW20 has the relevant mods too. The simpler option is to set up an MFR planter/harvester setup, fill it with MFR trees (yes, they're the ones that make rubber bars), then send the rubber wood...

    I am at a loss.

    Presumably you get the third one from obsidian pipes? :P

    I am at a loss.

    It took me ages to realise that I could use flint and leather as easy sources of the tool/armour aspects. Who was making loads of shovels and iron helmets? This idiot right here. :oops:

    Tanks for the info (a question about tanks... also, puppies)

    Railcraft tanks are indisputably the best, because they can be painted in pretty colours. Bad! :P

    Ores n Stuff

    You may well be right - I couldn't say. All I know is that in my latest world I had enough gold to spare for the casts I needed after my first mining trip. It may have helped that I didn't need all of my tools to be metal straight away - my all-stone hammer was perfectly adequate for causing...

    Ores n Stuff

    You say you have more diamonds than aluminum, so I presume that you also have a reasonable amount of gold? Gold can be used instead of aluminum brass to make all of the casts you're looking for.

    When do you get bored of a world?

    I tend to start a new world, spend most of my waking hours in it for around a week or so, then quit for a few weeks before making a new world. Going through the early game repeatedly is not a problem for me, as there's generally a dozen different ways to achieve any goals in FTB, and I like...

    Crafting Microblocks

    Which wiki do you use? There's no information about 1.52 multiblocks on the official wiki, the wikia one, or on ftbwiki.org. If there's another ftb wiki out there with more up to date info, I'd love to know about it.
