    Best way to generate MASSIVE ammounts of EU?

    The first of those is already done by GT, if that's an option.

    The Ultimate Tinkers Construct Tools

    Why go to all that trouble for a slime rod/binding when it'll be obsolete once you get iron? Here's a beginner's pick: explore until you find a village with a blacksmith's house that contains a steel item. Put the item in a smeltery, use it to make a steel pick head. Now you can mine cobalt...

    Skeleton dressed exactly like me?

    I did know this, I was just saying I had been unable to do it. I just spawned in some diamond equipment to see if the zombie would pick it up, but to no avail.

    Skeleton dressed exactly like me?

    This thread just reminded me; is there a way to force a mob to equip armour and/or weapons? I tried spawning a zombie, then letting it kill me while I had a suit of full diamond on and in my inventory, but I couldn't get him to pick it up. I'm also certain i've seen people give mobs equipment...

    Skeleton dressed exactly like me?

    So far the only mob i've seen not wearing vanilla armour was a skeleton wearing MPS armour (though it only halved the damage he took, not a 96% reduction like the player can get). I never knew this could happen. Also, whats the best armour a mob can spawn with? I've certainly never seen nano...

    Who would win in a fight?

    Noses. Without them you can't smell OR taste. Skyrim vs Dark Souls.

    I hate that!

    Waiting gives you time to contemplate the meaning of life (i.e. the thing that isn't 42). I hate being unable to play games because I know in the back of my mind the time could be better spent doing other stuff, meaning I end up sitting their doing nothing.

    How can I figure out what is sucking the power out of my Redstone Energy Cell?

    I see where you're coming from, though to be honest I can't imagine it'll make a massive difference. It might require you to use more MJ early-game, but by the time you start using boilers (come on, is there anyone that doesn't use these for MJ?), you'll have constant MJ production. Since this...

    How can I figure out what is sucking the power out of my Redstone Energy Cell?

    I think the point of the change was because MJ was becoming too similar to EU. Apparently the intention is that you have you're MJ production running constantly. Given that we already had boilers which (almost) always run constantly, and tree farms for easy fuel, MJ production was already going...

    So what are the best TC tools these days?

    That is correct. Not only that, you can add a nether star to get another slot.

    So what are the best TC tools these days?

    Nope. Diamond and diamond + gold block are 2 separate upgrades. You'd need to apply them separately.

    So what are the best TC tools these days?

    Is that so? I didn't know this, I thought the longsword had the same damage as the broadsword. Well, I guess I'll try the longsword then. Actually, now that I think about it the cleaver has a couple of advantages advantage over the longsword; first, it has more potential upgrade slots. This...

    Cobble collection

    You do realise this requires 86,093,442,000,000,000 cobblestone? Even with EE2 that would take forever.

    So what are the best TC tools these days?

    To each his own I guess. Though to be honest, I rarely ever find myself 'swarmed' by enemies, apart from pigmen, which aren't worth fighting anyway. I guess you're right about the armoured mobs, but they're rare... Come to think of it, I can't even remember the last time I saw a zombie or...

    So what are the best TC tools these days?

    Well, I take that partially back; battleaxes aren't worthless, but its quicker to 1-shot mobs with a slow weapon than it is to 2-shot them with a normal speed one. Besides, my cleaver also has a necrotic bone and electric. To 1-shot zombies with a battleaxe you'd have to give up both of those. I...

    So what are the best TC tools these days?

    Seriously, do people even bother testing these things? Scythes are terrible weapons, despite what everyone says. If you look at the stats for one, it says 'Damage: Low'. This means it only does 75% of the stated damage, meaning it'll never be able to 1-shot skeletons even when fully upgraded...

    Question about advanced solars?

    No offence, but that design is complete turd. Since the LZH condensators receive different amounts of heat/tick, the only way you'll be able to run it is if you can replace them instantly - a delay of just 1 tick will eventually lead to an explosion. This is much better - lower eu/t, but much...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I'm creating a mystcraft mining age. Are there any biomes which contain both emeralds and bauxite? If so, which ones? Are there any other biome-specific ores I should be aware of? I'm using biomes O'plenty.

    Radiation Detector/Automatic Shutoff

    Given how often my experimental reactors blow up, this could be a cheap way of stopping them from exploding half my base again. Though most of my reactors produce enough heat to explode after just a few ticks if the cooling goes awry. Still, a really neat idea.
