    Best Start for Unleashed?

    Im probably missing something but I dont see why people use fertilizer, when you can just upgrade the size and let the sun be your 'fertilizer'. The upgrades are a small one time cost, vs producing fertilizer constantly for a single tree. I think I have almost 500K charcoal sitting in two DSUs...

    GregTech question

    I heard that in the original vanilla days, people could just put an ore into their crafting grid and get an ingot out of it. But Greg was really Notch, and he sadistically changed it to require another WHOLE machine, that you had to craft by HAND and FUEL with resources AND... get this... WAIT...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    FTB Ultimate: Can you melt blaze rods into lava in a magma crucible? Looking for ways to use a t5 blaze spawer as energy, you are supposed to be able to turn blaze rods into lava but it's not working for me.

    How to PRODUCE Lava effectively?

    Mineffactory Reloaded also has the Lava Fabricator, so you could start collecting oil and fuel and turn it into lava, if you wanted. edit: ive heard its hard to find Demonic bees, is there a trick to finding them?

    What is the most overwhelming item you ever crafted?

    Crafting my kids was a lot more fun than a 64K disk and took me... maybe 2 minutes each? :rolleyes:

    What is/were the reason's people don't like xycraft?

    ill say it again in case the mod author hangs out here: A single white or clear crystal, with the ability to dye them would be ideal. And the second crystal that is only used in one block could just be changed to be crafted using the main xycraft crystal. its just tough to create so much in...

    What is the most overwhelming item you ever crafted?

    how could a 64K module take 2 hours? Ill have to test it im sure i only spent 10 minutes or so on it the last time I made one. Even 30 minutes would be slow. 2 hours... you had to be doing something wrong. Were you using a powered furnace or something to cook the processors and had to sit...

    Alternatives to Mystcraft for basic mining worlds?

    Where do you find pages? Ive checked every village for 2000 blocks in every direction, and only found a few pages. Im nowhere near being able to make an age. Is there some hidden spot to find pages?

    Powered Armor slows my Diamond pickaxe mining speed. A lot.

    Just to note in case anyone reads this... it also affects the power tool/glove. Hold z to keep from flying and it cuts trees and mines at super speed....

    list of Gregtech changes and configs?

    That is VERY interesting, thanks. Any idea why one person would say the IC2 recycler had been changed by gregtech, but on our server it was not changed? The server owner said he just left all settings at Default and changed nothing. Also, read your post on steam boiler efficiency, you are...

    list of Gregtech changes and configs?

    I did some google searching but havent had any luck. Is there a list somewhere of the changes made by gregtech? In the server I play on, some things have changed, while i read about other changes that gregtech makes.. but they did not change. We have hard to make solar panels, but...

    Funny or wild goals to obtain?

    Is there an way to make turtles do simple things without a huge learning curve? Like just making it move to a location and do a simple task, is there some sort of 'this is how you do SIMPLE programming for a turtle' webpage somewhere?

    You knew about decay being collected?

    So what is the point of dense ores, if it causes the world to die?

    Funny or wild goals to obtain?

    Did you have a backup of the worldsave folder? I read about people losing worldds, but with a backup things should be ok, right?

    Funny or wild goals to obtain?

    Interestingly (or not) I was just thinking I would try to do the same thing. Can you put any liquid in a tank? Like in FTB ultimate there is Acid and other liquids that I have not run into before. edit: except I was thinkin of a 12 x 12 xycraft tank of each liquid. :)

    Funny or wild goals to obtain?

    I was looking for ideas on wild or funny goals to set in minecraft, got any to share? My recent idea was to cover a whole desert in dirt then grow grass and trees to have a nice wooded biome to build in but never have it rain. :) Or cover a wooded biome in sand and end up with a desert where...

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

    I think you still need to build over 128 blocks above the water, as squid apparently count towards the total mob spawn rate. It seems the only way to not have to build 128 blocks up would be to quarry out a 256 square area and then fill it with cobble completely using a filler. Then if you...

    Is there FTB Ultimate for 1.5.2?

    What do people do that dont want to upgrade to Unleashed? Will we still be able to keep launching Ultimate from the FTB platform? My buddy who owns the server doesnt like upgrading, and we all dont want to lose redpower so I dont see us moving up any time soon.

    The Best and Simple Mining Turtle Tutorial - Faster than Quarry!

    This and not getting obsidian are the big drawbacks, true. I play on a gregtech enabled server though, so getting turtles going is much cheaper than a quarry is. Also requires a lot less power.
