    Cobble collection

    Weak and amateur, you must fill a DSU with octuple compressed cobblestone! Look, 30 million more cobble for your first octuple!

    Automatic Diamond Farm?

    Or you could use a rock crusher from I believe railcraft and that crushes cobble into gravel instead of sand. Edit: Also, the rock crusher can turn gravel to sand and sometimes gold or diamonds, but you'd want it mostly for the gravel in your setup.

    TiC adds bows and arrows in the latest version, so we wouldn't need a separate bow mod.

    Edit the link out of the quote. I've already reported it after checking the link on a very secure browser and it def looks scammy. The last step after liking the site and something else is to post that message on 3 other websites and then you'll "magically" get the key after their so claimed...

    A question about energy storage/ mekanism

    I've actually given it a bit more thought. You would have to build the steam engines kinda like an AE supercomputer. You would have the outer frame, on the outside you would have energy transfer blocks where you could hook up your power output, steam vents where you would put your steam filled...

    A question about energy storage/ mekanism

    That's the other part of the problem, the lag that can be introduced by using too many turbines. What I'd really like to see is a low-lag multi-block entity that can turn a lot of steam into a lot of power as an alternative to massive, lag producing engine rooms. I'm not saying it has to be...

    A question about energy storage/ mekanism

    Connect the liquiduct to the bottom of the turbine. Steam going through liquiducts (and probably any other liquid carrying pipe) can be connected to turbines to make em spin. The output of a RC boiler going into Atomic Science turbines really shows power production imbalances between UE and...

    Shifting floor is killing slimes

    This makes me wonder if the new TC drawbridges would work as a shifting floor if done right.

    Normal/Normal will cover most bees for when you start breeding. As you get further you can increase their tolerances and with Extra Bees you can add more tolerances using genetic machines and whatnot. You can also do that with an alveary, but that requires pollen and royal jelly so you'll need...

    Greg's done it again.

    Yup, I mucked with em a bit before you could change their looks and whatnot. I think mDiyo also made it so they carry redstone through them like I had mentioned in the MC thread, but not sure as I haven't messed with them since the .4 version. Edit: Wait, just says redstone can be placed by...

    And it now seems the latest version of Tinker's Construct has been upgraded to stable release so, yay. Can't wait to mess around with the bows and drawbridges.

    Greg's done it again.

    Depends on the tool really. For example with the hammer the mining speed loss from using paper plates can't be overcome by adding redstone. Basically, a cobalt plate will be faster than a paper plate even after factoring in the extra speed from redstone. In that instance using a thaumium...

    Greg's done it again.

    It's technically a dev build but it's a release candidate right now, so it's almost ready. As for why to use thaumium over paper - Tier 2 tools get durability from every part so even a single thaumium instead of paper can make a big difference.

    Greg's done it again.

    Also most of his guardsmen were around 6' tall, so comparatively in the images that were done with him next to his guardsman he looked short. It's kinda like me when standing next to the rest of the men in my family, I'm around 5'10" yet my dad is 6'2", uncle 6'3", and brother 6'4", so everyone...

    As an example sometimes when I mine iirc bauxite the whole block turns into a mash of different purples. I had iridium turn into some bright white as well.

    I'm guessing that's why the textures on some ores go incredibly weird when mined then. Some of the textures become painful on the eyes -_-

    Mod Pack Update

    Ah those things from BoP. I hate them too with their poison and blind crap. I got attacked by one at the start of one of my worlds but somehow made it lose interest in me. At least it's not like what happened to me a few times - spawned underground inside a lava pool once and another inside a...

    11 seconds eh. What happened, you spawned next to a creeper and got chased into a pit of poison and finally managed to get out into quicksand or something?
