    What marks a mod/item as "OP" or "Unbalanced"?

    I thought so too, but it's gone five pages without more than a few ruffled feathers. With a few notable exceptions, this community's actually pretty good with controversial topics; it's one of the reasons I keep coming back.

    Forum Game - What is the avatar above you thinking?

    Nothing. Nothing at all.

    What marks a mod/item as "OP" or "Unbalanced"?

    I wasn't going to chime in, but I'll give you my super-short answer for server play only: I term something to be OP whenever it destroys the skill gap. That doesn't mean I won't happily play with it anyway, most times. What's that mean, exactly? In general terms, and in my opinion, if I'm...

    Not a problem, I was sorting through all this stuff anyway. I believe Rainbow Forest is defined as a magic biome; Thaumcraft's purified blooms or whatever (the ones you normally have to make in a crucible) grow there, which would seem to be a strong indicator.

    Doing some more research (since I'm trying to solve my own Magic Bees issues) it seems there MAY be a bug, especially since hive generation changed this version; see...

    As far as I'm aware, it is actually normal.

    The Thaumcraft 4.1 Experience

    It just displays leaking gas to indicate where the foul-up is. You don't appear to actually lose anything.

    As far as I'm aware (at least, in past worlds) they're supposed to spawn anywhere that a Meadows hive will spawn. Curious hives spawn in place of forest/jungle(tropical) hives, and Sorcerous in place of desert (modest) hives. On our 1.5.2 server, I saw them in plains and on mountains quite often.

    I believe you need to attribute that paraphrase to Churchill, sir ;)

    I can't seem to find any Unusual Hives on my server. Plenty of sorcerous and mystical bees, no unusual ones. Pack is Monster 1.1.0 with a few extra mods, BoP spawn. I know it's probably a mod interaction (they're all universal config mods, at least) but any other insights before I start...

    That one didn't work, but today when I put him down in front of the chest using right click, he ran right over and tossed his cobblestone in, so I'm officially clueless but it's functioning.

    Why can I not make the flipping Gather Core golem put the items in an inventory? I've tried placing the golem by shift+rclick on the chest (doesn't work, just opens the chest - ANY sort of chest, I've tried an ender chest, a diamond chest and a vanilla one-block chest). I've tried rclicking...

    Fair enough.

    GeoStrata rocks, pickaxe it to death?

    Reika's great about addressing stuff like this, I'm sure if it's brought to his attention he'll see about a fix or an explanation.

    How to produce massive RF?

    What in the world do you need that much for? Not to mention that each network can, I believe, move a maximum of 2k per tick due to conduit restrictions. That being said, I've been experimenting with Engineer's Toolbox solar panels lately. 16 are equal to one dynamo and they require no...

    Nether Quartz

    MFR laser drills are probably the most ridiculously effective method for this. Monastic bees are also an excellent source before you have the power network to sustain laser drills, or Magical Crops if you have it; if you're quarrying, you should have plenty of magical essence. Another option...

    With GeoStrata installed, does anyone know how to get Thaumcraft Obsidian Tiles instead of GeoStrata Obsidian Bricks, through crafting? I'm aware I can mine up a few from totems, not the point.

    Quick comparison needed, which is more efficient: Oil -> Refinery -> Fuel -> Compression Dynamo, or Oil -> Refinery -> Fuel -> Max-Sized RC Boiler -> Steam Dynamo?

    I'm in Hamilton now, we appear to be primarily scuzzy white people downtown and snotty white people outside of it =P
