    Xycraft tank keeps resetting and I lose everything in it.

    FTB ultimate. 1.1.2 If bugs iwth xycraft tanks aren't common, then its probably our server. The server company said that 3 of us are pushing a server meant for 72 players to 100% CPU usage, we assume they are lying about the capabilities of the server. Most of our bases are even really...

    Turtle iron dupe

    Hmm well I was asking kind of rhetorically I guess, to see if people agreed with me that duping was not a good idea. But, no one seems to worried that blaze rods can be created infinitely in FTB Ultimate, so I thought people really didnt care about 'duping' much. Interestingly I joked with my...

    Xycraft tank keeps resetting and I lose everything in it.

    Not sure if this is the place to put this, but this is horribly frustrating. I have a xycraft tank on top of a magmatic engine setup, 4 valves on top, 4 on bottom, netherbrick frame and glass viewer walls. 3 times it has just randomly decided it was not a tank (no blue shimmering lines when...

    Turtle iron dupe

    Why do people care about duping? We could all use creative mode and play the game with unlimited resources, we play survival so that we have to work for what we get, as it is more satisfying when you finish building something when you gathered the resources yourself. So why does it matter if...

    I dont use levers on any of my MFR machines, but im still just playing Ultimate, maybe something changed. It should work without the lever, if so then by putting a lever down maybe you turned it off?

    Efficient blaze spawners

    Does water reduce the damage to mobs that drop (talking non blazes here)? Or does that only work if there is a full blocks with of water that you fall into? Ideally for me, id like to hurt the mobs to where the turtles can always kill them in one hit. Would water make them not get hurt when...

    Whats the biggest energy source/power plant you've made?

    My biggest power source so far was 90 hv solars, so about 45K EU/t. 87 of them ran to a mass fab and 3 ran the rest of my base. Wanted to see how crazy you could get with a mass fab, it got so i could almost produce more hv solars just on the UU matter it made each day. Got a bit boring...

    Efficient blaze spawners

    Obviously water is cheaper and cost is always dependent on how long you have played in your world. I have just a few weeks invested into a world and havent really mined in over a week, and have thousands of iron stored up, etc. 10 MFSUs hooked up to 40 magmatic engines, 20 generators for...

    Efficient blaze spawners

    They dont fall at the speed of other mobs, they float downward slowly. A rail gun will kill them while not having to wait for them to float out of range of the spawner.

    Efficient blaze spawners

    If you have redpower, an MPS railgun/glove in a deployer will apparently get every drop from a mob it kills, including minium stones. I was thinking having one wall lined up with railguns and deployers. Railguns kill every mob ive tried it on in just one hit, so if they were put on a timer...

    Efficient blaze spawners

    You can use Grinders if you have MFR installed. You can use the blaze rods to power IC2 generators to run the Grinders (which require little energy) then use the Mob Essence that you also get to enchant stuff or create new spawners using the Auto Spawner. I use a 10 x 10 room with 4 grinders...

    Efficient blaze spawners

    Is it necessary to hang the spawned in the air? I know with other mobs you want them to fall and die but won't the blazes just fly? I just made my own tier 5 blaze spawner myself and trying to find the best way to kill them quickly.

    4 Dragon Egg Siphons at the same time... effects?

    Well as i said, its his server and he doesn't ask for money, i think my options are to go with his solution or just leave. Haven't heard much good about public servers. How would one go about finding a few good players to play with? Id even buy my own server, but would ideally just want a half...

    4 Dragon Egg Siphons at the same time... effects?

    Yes this was our issue, the other guy playing was just getting into forestry, and I had a bunch of redpower (playing FTB Ultimate) solar panels for my tree farm furnaces. My friend said he spent 138 iridium to make the siphons, he isnt going to give them up. Its just 4 of us (5th guy is deployed...

    4 Dragon Egg Siphons at the same time... effects?

    I guess im asking... what effects can we expect other than rain, because even at 4 eggs there appear to not be any serious effects happening (flux) and do we have any options to deal with the effects that ARE affecting us already. Namely, frequent rain. I can't see any machine other than...

    4 Dragon Egg Siphons at the same time... effects?

    A friend of mine beat the ender dragon, and made a gregtech egg siphon. He lost the original egg, so found out you can make more of them. He edited the server config to allow more eggs, and right now has 4 of them. It rains... a lot... on the server now. It says they will create flux, and...

    Best Start for Unleashed?

    Ok ive only ever played on a friend's server, how can space be limited in a basically unlimited world?

    Anyone dealt with the pros and cons of this? Is ore generation in twilight forest equal to the Overworld? If so you would think getting diamonds would be muuuuuch faster in Twlight forest, wouldn't you? Quarrying down to level 12 would be much faster, etc.
