    Tinker's Construct Hammer

    I tend to go with silk touch on the hammer & fortune on the pick. I also tend to start with all iron tools with moss III until I can gather enough cobalt & ardite. I use vanilla picks until I can make 1 out of either steel or manyullyn. I just started working on my good hammer. Cobalt head...

    StrangeThistleStudios 1.7.10 (pic heavy)

    I've rebuilt fountain square, made some progress on the roads, & started up the enderIO tech tree, requiring a trip to the nether for glowstone. The roads follow the river better than expected since I just estimated the center between the 2 volcanos & sized the plots to fit the fountain square...

    Using Older Version Of EE3 In Newer Minecraft?

    Major changes to the Minecraft code means that mod authors sometimes have to completely rewrite the mods. Pahimar is still working on the 1.7.10 version. In the meantime, you might want to look at ProjectE to see if you like their mechanic.

    Request [dw20]Convert liquid to block/ingot

    I started with the DW20 1.0.3 for MC 1.7.10 as a base, but I removed half the mods, added a few, & updated most of them to the latest versions. I have no idea where the smeltery recipe for yellorium came from or how to find out. I only knew it existed because of this thread. AOBD-2.4.0...

    & we start off alternating between mining, laying out roads & leveling building plots, & building a TiCo smeltery. I did cheat in a tool forge so I could at least start off with a stone hammer.

    Request [dw20]Convert liquid to block/ingot

    Try putting the ender tank right next to the basin & spinning the dial. With the enderIO conduits, you have to set in/out & whether or not to use a redstone signal. I just put some yellorite ore in the TiCo smeltery & was able to cast it into both blocks & ingots, so some mod has added the recipe.

    [1.7.10] Material Energy^4

    For those who may be having trouble putting some weapons in the dual wield battlegear slots, I just found out that it seems to recognize 2 handed weapons, requiring an empty slot opposite. This from watching an extra derpy couple's ME^4 let's play.

    I'm about ready to get back to normal survival play, so I updated all the things & CRASH! What do you mean computercraft turtles? Nothing here should require computercraft! After checking the obvious mods that have CC compatibilty, I decided to spend the day rebuilding & updating the pack from a...

    [1.7.10] Material Energy^4

    My solution was to move the reactor higher (to the observatory) when I rebuilt it when I restarted the game with the 1.0.0 release. Before that I was just replacing the cryothium every time I used the pump.

    [1.7.10] Material Energy^4

    For the molten metals, I put 4 casting basins around an enderthermic pump, then set item conduits to pull the blocks into the tesseract feeding back into my me storage & powering the pump. It is slower than pumping the liquid into drums, but you don't have to set up something to turn it into...

    [1.7.10] Material Energy^4

    If you started your game before 1.0.4, you will have to manually add dim38 to your saved game files. You should be able to copy it from the templates folder.

    [1.7.10] Material Energy^4

    I just went through the same thing. Anyone find a desert in the overworld? I ran the rest of the wools & am left with 2 trophies to find, black glass, sugar cane, charcoal blocks, & cookies. There are also several spatial areas I never got (thermal mining, fade, diamonds, mob system, & the...

    [1.7.10] Material Energy^4

    I'm already playing in the 5-15 fps range. Putting 50+ spawners in an area pretty much guarantees that I will give in & raid it in peaceful mode.

    [1.7.10] Material Energy^4

    I farm 10,000 ender pearls from ender lilies and then you tell me I have to kill 1,000 enderman... I've heard that SFM was suggested by Fireball so he could automate cookies.

    Big reactor sizes

    I'm happy with a 7x7x3 reactor with a ring of 8 fuel cell core, with cryothium as a coolant. This is just big enough to run 1 max size turbine when converted to steam. For the turbine, you need 80 blades to use the full 2000 mb/t steam, while the # of coil blocks will vary by material used. A...

    ME uses too much power

    I can't tell if they are dynamos, engines, or generators. If he's getting power out of them that way, I suspect ic2 magmatic generators.

    [1.7.10] Material Energy^4

    I think you have to reset the End to access the new secrets. I just finished biosphere^4, so I have a way to go before getting there.

    ME uses too much power

    That is a really big image file that loads really slowly on my iPad. I see TE ducts, so you are on the older version of AE. I do not see the entirety of your ME system. As each component connected, including cables, adds to the power requirements, I can't guess how much power it needs. You...

    [1.7.10] Material Energy^4

    I've gotten the cans & soul fragments out of reward bags. I now have 8 of them going without loosing a single heart.
