    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I know what you're saying. What I'm saying is that rapiers used to bypass ALL protection offered by vanilla armour. I've been lead to believe that they now only bypass a portion of that protection (e.g. diamond armour gives 80% damage resistance. Does the rapier ignore all 80% of this damage...

    No Modular Powersuits in Infinity?

    Even better, make some Extra Utilities wings, they're cheap (1 nether star basically) and get a speed boost from the bound armour. I do love bound armour, I just wish you could still book enchant it :(

    problems with infinity

    Java applications should NOT be allocated more than 4gb of RAM under any circumstances. Can't run it with a x128 texture pack? Tough luck, use something less demanding (sorry if I sound rude, but you'll never increase performance by allocating more than 4gb of RAM, that's just how java works)...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    No offence, but this doesn't really answer my question. I'm only concerned with knowing what's best when fighting armoured mobs - something with ultra-high damage, or something that bypasses armour? If the rapier really does bypass 100% of vanilla armour then obviously I'll go with that. If it...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I've heard multiple people say TiC rapiers were nerfed to not ignore all armour, however I've been unable to find a primary source for this. Does anyone know of such a source? I've been trying to test it myself, but so far I haven't seen any mobs wearing anything better than leather.

    Renewable bigreactors fuel - infinity

    Who says BigReactors aren't early game? They're not exactly expensive, the only resource bottleneck is yellorium which as I said isn't exactly rare. Besides, you can get surprisingly high efficiency even with a mere 3x3x1 reactor. EDIT: Just noticed you said turbines aren't early game, not...

    What Makes a Modpack

    A question to people who remove mods they'll never use: how do you know whether or not you're going to use it? As a personal example, I LOVE enderIO, despite never having tried it before ftb infinity came out. Conversely, IC2 (which I used religiously in ftb ultimate) has barely been touched. I...

    Renewable bigreactors fuel - infinity

    Thing is, that would make blutonium a PITA to get in sufficient quantities for making turbines. It's not like yellorium is that rare anyway, so the ability to double your fuel supply isn't a huge deal.

    Renewable bigreactors fuel - infinity

    Doesn't the cyanite reprocessor give you back blutonium at a 1:1 ratio? That should allow you to fuel reactor indefinitely. Also you can use IC2 uranium instead of yellorium if you're running low on the latter.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I actually built a vanilla style enderman farm earlier today. It gives way more ender pearls & xp than I could ever need. Plus its free to run ;) Is there an easy way to convert RF to EU? The mass fabricator + replicator use quite a bit of power. I can't think of anything else, I haven't...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    So I just built a bigreactor's reactor. Its pretty good, it has a fairly nice power output of around 10k RF per tick. Thing is, I have nothing that requires anything like that amount of power. What can I do with all that RF? I'm using the infinity pack by the way (do I even need to state this...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Is there an item that can charge my TiC tools from my inventory (i.e. a lappack that you don't have to wear)? I like wearing my bound armour, but I don't like how quickly my tools lose their charge (instamining with hammer - 400k RF just isn't enough).

    I was about to ask a similar question actually; what's the best material for making a TiC crossbow & bolts out of?

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    This isn't directly related to Minecraft. I've been told that to maximise performance I should set the maximum RAM used to no higher than 4GB in the ftb launcher, preferably less. Why? Surely having more RAM available would improve performance? I'm not doubting this is true by the way, I've...

    I Derp, You Derp, We all Derp, What's your's?

    I'd just finished setting up my steve's carts tunnel bore, complete with galgadorian drill, enchanter etc. I set it going, and did some blood magic stuff in the meantime. About an hour later I returned to check on its progress. I was annoyed to see it had hardly gone anywhere, as the chunk the...

    1.8.3 patch changes-Microsoft money at work

    I don't know anything about programming, but I do know there are loads of mods for Terraria (the modding api certainly helps). The only reason it doesn't have more mods is because Terraria has a smaller playerbase than Minecraft.

    That one acronym game

    Bogus onions incapacitate nerdy kiwis (not very good I know) TTTTTTTTTTTT - if anyone does it for that I'll be impressed.

    Is there a way to remove hats from mobs?

    I'm using FTB infinity, and I just found an ultra-fast horse that I want to use (I'm weird like that :p). Trouble is, there's a squid hat stuck to it. I don't want to have to stare at a massive tumour attached to my horse. Since for some reason the modpack doesn't work without the hats mid, is...

    moments you realize you majorly overkilled

    Actually, now that I think about it Omicron's reactor set-up isn't that ridiculous. I've seen some set-ups that were far bigger and more elaborate. Unless IC2 reactors have been massively buffed since last time I used them (basically 1.5.2), I could imagine needing quite a few of those.
