    Share Your Tinker's Construct Tools!

    Well. each mining speed level is giving a diminishing return. so in effect, you will really notice a difference between a speed of 1, and 2. but less so between 2 and 3. when you get into the 20-30 range it becomes increasingly hard to tell the difference at all between levels. It's hard to say...

    Share Your Tinker's Construct Tools!

    Now that is a mechanic that has grind written all over it. in capitals no less. seriously tho, it just means that you could use stonebound and slime to get a decently fast pick early game without even having the smeltery yet. once you have worn down those 3000 durability. using it to punch...

    With regards to [Waterproof Pipes].[Mainly answered]

    not at all. i like to see stuff passing trough pipes too. and with the new plugs, it is possible to have multiple pipes running in parallel too. I love seeing multiple liquids passing trough side by side on it's way to my tank room.

    Factorization and Twilight Forest.

    I think that is on purpose, and not just an aesthetic thing. considering that TW is as close to a dense ores mystcraft age as it is possible to get outside of mystcraft itself.

    FTB - It´s to easy, how to make it hard?

    yeah. i find these kinds of setup the be very much unsatisfactory. you are not supposed to be able to have a single machine block process a quarry's worth of stuff like that. I simply refuse to touch AE for that kind of stuff anymore. Now using MFR conveyor belts, and other assorted machines is...

    The Ultimate Tinkers Construct Tools

    you can always use them as kindling in your furnace if you think you won't need them anymore. or as cheap filler when filling in creeper craters. Thing is, there is always a need for some kind of temporary placeholder or scaffold. using dirt is fine in some cases, but there are also cases where...

    The Ultimate Tinkers Construct Tools

    you often need more than one stack, and it wont help you get easily down again, unless you have a handy pool of water to play with. hence why scaffolding is the superior method. you can get up and grab the trees even before you have made any tools at all. punch tree, make worktable, make...

    Update Ultimate to 1.6.4

    Then it won't be ultimate. ultimate is dead. if anyone makes a pack that tries to do the same thing, (good luck with that) it will not BE ultimate. it will be something else, and probably be called something else.

    Mystcraft lag

    it get's worse, the more dimension hopping you do. it's a bug that seems to be connected to the old world saving lag bug. been like that for ages, altho it has gotten better. It used to be so bad that even fast computers would practically freeze up when exploring new territory in vanilla even.

    The Ultimate Tinkers Construct Tools

    Morp is not part of unleashed, so that means adding a mod. except for force armor or jetpack there is no early game flight in unleashed. and tbh. i don't consider either of those as a pre metal pick option. The easiest/cheapest way to get to the slime islands really early game (like in the...

    Skeleton dressed exactly like me?

    yeah. a lot of the time they will ignore anything you toss at them. I wish the take items mechanic was a bit more consistent. it would make things like dressing up skellies for use as decoration more feasible. seriously. how am i supposed to make a nightclub without a couple a zombie bouncers at...

    Skeleton dressed exactly like me?

    no need to die to give them something, altho the AI is a bit random in what any given mob is willing to pick up. I usually try to give them some leather boots or a stone sword. the mobs seem to prefer vanilla equipment. I have never been able to give a zombie a mining laser for instance, and...

    Skeleton dressed exactly like me?

    I had a skelly come at me with a copy of a test kit i was trying out in creative once. (was trying out TiCo stuff, but hey. i wanted to be op when testing dps, so i went with some spawned in nano/advanced nano) The durn thing was wearing the full nano kit, with the advanced nano chestplate and...

    With regards to [Waterproof Pipes].[Mainly answered]

    I did a test in unleashed 1.1.4. it takes 8 golden waterproof pipelines to transfer enough steam to run a single turbine at max power. while you could turn your entire ceiling into one large grid of covered pipes, there still is an issue of looks at both of the pipe ends. (not entirely...

    With regards to [Waterproof Pipes].[Mainly answered]

    what pack are you using exactly? If you are using unleashed 1.1.4, then you have access to plugs, they prevent pipes from attaching, so that you may run several parallel golden pipes in your ceiling if you wish. I don't remember if you have plugs in the 1.1.3 version tho, hard to remember much...

    Which wiki?

    Hmm... No starting guide for TiCo on the offcial FTB wiki yet?.... Maybe.. just maybe if i have the time this weekend, i might be able to submit a basic one to the wiki team.

    Never Underestimate Small Boilers!

    yeah. it's easy to avoid overloading the energy buffer of engines. altho that is a type of explosion that can only happen if you have a full blockage of energy flow. something that never happened back when pipes exploded. when the pipes went boom, the engine on signal would also be cut off if...

    What is the best Tinker's Construct Material should I use for the Tconstruct Bows

    If you are looking for an ultimate weapon, then going to any of the mod specific threads is a waste of time. there are plenty of cross mod comparison threads where that kind of stuff is discussed. this one is about TiCo specifically, and thus, stuff like the MPS railgun and xeno's reliquary are...
