    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Thanks for teaching me my new thing of the day. I never realised you can add things that aren't lava to fuel the smeltery.

    If you could add one thing to any mod...?

    I once built a small pond inside my base as a decorative feature. It kept spawning bloody squid every five minutes and ruining the aesthetic. I'm a little more discerning with my water features these days...

    If you could add one thing to any mod...?

    Whale oil as a harvestable resource and power supply would be ace. Also harpoon guns :)

    If you could add one thing to any mod...?

    Otters. That you can train to help you catch fish. And you can breed them like bees. I want my very own radioactive fishing otter.

    Another daft TC4.2 question. Is there anything like the old alembics I can use to get extraneous essentia out of my crucible? When making thaumium I end up using infused shards for the praecantatio, then I basically round it all up and make balanced shards to remove the excess primals. The...

    So... Crimson Cult?

    I particularly enjoyed the bit where I heroically solo'd a bunch of the bastards and they dropped this book of forbidden knowledge that did literally sod-all when I tried to read it. I think it may have added a bit to my warp, but that's it...

    Real life Minecraft moments

    I went for a walk on the moors and saw a cow. My head was so full of possibilities...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Right, i'll explain this as concisely as possible. What i'm looking for is a semi-permeable membrane of sorts. Basically my current base is an open area at bedrock, open to the sky albeit covered over with TiCo clear glass. The problem i'm having is i'm slowly getting a buildup of flux in a...

    If you could add one thing to any mod...?

    There may already be a config setting for this, but if there is I have yet to find it. But i'd really like the TiCo lumber axe to be able to treecapitate a giant redwood like it does with normal trees. Clearing forests with the lumber axe (and ExU's fast leaf decay config option) is a breeze...

    What theme of packs would you like in 1.8

    I think the modding community needs to get in step with the wider gaming world. The only mods to make it into 1.8 packs should be half-finished buggy piles of shite packed with microtransactions.

    Ways for trading on bigger SMP servers.

    I've always been very self-sufficient. If I want a ready supply of something i'll set up a system to produce it for me. The last time I played seriously on a server was back in unleashed and the only things I ended up trading for were nether stars (because I was too lazy to set up a...

    mystcraft... will it still be a thing?

    I have to say I love the dimension builder system in RFtools now i've started using it. I did manage to entirely crash my base power grid trying to power a dimension at about 54kRF/t using a piddly BigReactor (because i'm still too early and resource poor for a proper ReC reactor). Yeah that...

    Feedback on Colony Modpack and Other Questions

    Unless the RNG shafts you and you don't get a sapling drop :)

    Request Looking for a way to make a lake and fill it with water

    I did that once, the effect is wicked. Except if you do it over about 256 square chunks, then it just outright crashes the client.

    How exactly do I get into bees?

    Aside from one playthrough in 1.6.4 where I checked out gendustry, I haven't used bees since Unleashed. Magical crops sort of superceded it as the "LOL make everything renewable" mod of choice due to the insane throughput you could get in Monster. Bee breeding is a fun mechanic to get into...

    If you could add one thing to any mod...?

    My suggestion of compressed villagers was apparently not even considered. All I wanted was a block that sounded like 4.3 billion plaintive voices crying "HNRG" in unison, is that too much to ask?

    That looks like an eerie biome. It's a thaumcraft thing, it's spread by sinister aura nodes. You will be able to tell if this is the case if the colour of the sky changes when you step into it. Alternately, push F3 and check the biome type :)

    If you could add one thing to any mod...?

    Any mod like Advanced Genetics. There should be an option to splice bits of animals into other animals. Suicide Cowpers would be a great stealth weapon...
