    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Ic2 canning machine and cells? Although you have to get the liquid into the canning machine. only thing I can think of is trying to place the MFR machine right next to a valve on a railcraft tank. Or putting the canning machine next to it, the MFR machines dont require active pipes to pull...

    Guy on my server said he only found them in the nether, not in lava in the overworld. Once he went to the nether he got what he needed.

    What was the whole TiC vs Gregtech bronze issue? I thought gregtech nerfed bronze output to 2 ingots per 3 copper/1tin, to stop an exploit, and TiC turned it back up to 3 ingots per 3 copper and 1 tin? Now it seems that if i craft 3 copper dusts and 1 tin, I can get 3 bronze dusts from...

    Do you happen to know if TiC roads work without jumping? Also its odd, i rmember using a quantum suit on a MFR road probably 9 months ago, and it was faaaaast. no jumping needed. Hmm. Also, does anyone know how it would affect a server for a player to say... travel 35K blocks in a single...

    you can turn off the slippery effect in the MFR config file, if you can and want to that is. The jumping... that seems odd doesnt it? I posted on skyboy's minecraftforum.net posting, curious to see if this is how they are supposed to work. if so ill be making Tinkers construct roads I guess.

    Anyone know if there is some bug with minefactory roads? Playing dw20 1.6 and cannot see any speed increase at all. I'd swear they are even a touch slower...

    What boiler should i get

    The steam turbines in Ultimate, iirc, are set at 100 EU/t, so the power converters are really much more useful. In later versions of railcraft the turbines have received buffs but the conversion is so bad in 1.4.7 that its really painful to not use power converters. Its been a bit since i...

    Ftb Ultimate pack best starter power

    You can definitely use the oil. Get a pump and some redstone engines, then build a refinery. The easiest power starter is an MFR tree farm. the reason is that you can put charcoal into Steam Engines from Thermal Expansion or Hobbyist Engines from railcraft, or Generators from IC2. And you...

    How often do you visit other people's bases?

    Do you use iguana tweaks that makes you respawn randomly instead of back in your bed?

    How often do you visit other people's bases?

    Yeah i just for the first time had a new player join that was someone I didnt already know. So far going well. This sounds fun, id enjoy teaming up on a base with someone.

    How often do you visit other people's bases?

    In my experience minecraft was less of a group game than i thought it woudl be, I was wondering if other servers/groups are more community oriented. When i started, the guy who ran the server told everyone to live at least 1000 blocks from each other. Everyone wanted their own area, and to not...

    How do you prohibit certain items on a server?

    I didnt know how it worked, I had this suggested to me a few times, but read somehwere that it wont always work. I was ecstatic though to find out some mods, like Extra Utilities, just lets you disable or enable certain mods right in its config file. So maybe minetweaker is the safest...

    How do you prohibit certain items on a server?

    If you don't want to use minetweaker, I've been told setting the ID to 0 will do it although I haven't tried it yet.

    What exactly is offensive about being told to play in creative mode?

    Ok so then if you changed the game so it took more time to gather those resources, would you feel you should get a little acknowledgement from that? Or really the important thing is that you enjoy the game more when gathering the resources. So if someone else wnated to spend more time...

    What exactly is offensive about being told to play in creative mode?

    I don't understand your point. What I am saying is, if tedium is not dificulty and tedium is not fun, and we should be just having fun making 'systems' then crafting a redstone furnace is no different than crafting an Industrial blast furnace. They are both boring, neither requires any skill...

    What exactly is offensive about being told to play in creative mode?

    Actually i think this thread has been pretty enlightening. People have been more up front about the whole thing in this thread than in any other thread ive seen. Also, Im going to start playing creative, and when someone tells me they like playing survival, im going to say 'tedium is not...

    What exactly is offensive about being told to play in creative mode?

    A guy on reddit just told me this: "People simply want things made more difficult, so that it takes longer to accomplish the same task." This is really the whole idea of this thread. Any time you go to survival mode, you are making things more difficult to accomplish the same task. They do...

    Modular Powersuits out of fashion?

    Im using the gregtech recipes and reducing the armor point value of each piece from 6 to 5.5. havent tested it yet though. In 1.5 i thought hte power draw was ok for everything except flight. Using the suit to mine or chop trees you could actually see the power meter go down... not with...
