    Is there a way to keep spawners running (not soul shards, normal spawners) even if you are not there? Like a grinder setup using spawners moved with a gravity gun?

    Best Start for Unleashed?

    Three, but one of them basically is dedicated to the ME network that is receiving the wood from the harvester. Im a bit lost on why you run two harvesters. I dont even run fertilizer at all. I have over 100K charcoal stored up, havent really ever seen a need to get fertilizer. Here is a bad...

    Best Start for Unleashed?

    ahh. so you use one harvester on saplings which can probably feed 2 planters easily, then the second harvests leaves? I send extra saplings to a bio generator at the moment, to help power the tree harvester and a small wheat farm. I run EU generators and redstone conduit from the bio...

    Best Start for Unleashed?

    if you process the leaves, you dont get saplings, I thought? And when I ran a jungle tree in my MFR harvester, it only went up like 15 blocks and left the top of the tree untouched, I had to chop it down by hand to get rid of it. Redpower adds 3x3 rubber trees, but the 2x2 jungle trees are...

    Are you saying to use saplings for biofuel? I use oak trees for charcoal and am going to turn the apples into biofuel at some point. Just getting into forestry.

    Automated Charcoal Furnace 1.5.2

    To be fair 'necessity is the mother of invention'. People like us who play modded minecraft wouldnt ever spend any mental energy trying to figure out how to automate vanilla furnaces (most people anyway) or run tree farms in vanilla because... we have forestry and MFR and whatever else. The...

    Feel like sharing any 'tricks' you use while playing?

    I never figured out what IC2 crops were for, i thought they were for cross breeding? IC2 is a pretty robust mod, many aspects of it get ignored though. The gate vs door thing is genius. :)

    Feel like sharing any 'tricks' you use while playing?

    I was just watching direwolf eat a potato manually and thought... why doesnt this guy use tin cans with the quantum suit? ONe 'trick' that i use is using an Ender pouch/chest, AE network, and tin cans with the Q Suit. Keep 64 cans in the network. Set up AE with the canning machine so it auto...

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    I do have flight control enabled. ANd I meant that using a normal diamond pickaxe seemed slower. I noticed if i remove the power tool from my hotbar, i move much faster. The batteries in the power tool? Does it slow down all actions if you have too much weight?

    I made a full set of MPS armor and again have full armor icons on the bar, and now I barely take any damage at all. Im curious to test it, if i can drag myself away from SMP. Who has time to test things in creative? :)

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    Is there a trick to using the power tool? I have the pickaxe, axe, and plasma gun installed, but when I hold shift and scroll my mouse wheel, it only shows the railgun over and over. Also does using the suit slow you down doing other operations? When i first made one, I went to mine some...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I understand charging them, what i meant was, is there a reason not to combine, say... a quantum chest plate with an MPS legs and feet, or nano chestplate and helmet with an MPS legs and feet, etc. I thought MPS suits were close to quantum suits in damage reduction, but so far they seem more...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    How does armor work? I made a suit of nano armor, it colors in 9 out of 10 armor icons. I read that it reduces damage by 90%. Seems simple. Then I made some MPS legs and feet for fast movement and jumping, but kept the Nano advanced chest plate, and the helmet. The nano chest plate has a...

    Ender Trap the super basic I need ender pearls but just started my world mob system

    My friends and i had this happen three times. the first time it was due to Dimensional Doors mod. Latest version has fixed the bug, but if you have an older version of this and someone went to limbo, it can stop hostile mobs from spawning. The other two times... we never figured it out. I...

    House / Base Designs?

    no, iron blocks and scaffolding. I knew about the iron tank wall thing, I dont make anything out of bricks of multi-block items just in case. @namiasdf - nice base, very cool.

    Twilight forest portals...

    Made my first one and it put me... inside a hollow hill. Googled a bit to find out the mechanics of twilight forest portals but I cant find anything. Can i just make another portal a bit away in the overworld, and then have it come out in a different location in the twilight forest, or do...
