    Difference between Torch, Sulfur Torch and Aluminum Torch?

    I believe the torches had something like a 1/200 chance of dropping the goo per tick, so yea, more torches = more goo.

    Difference between Torch, Sulfur Torch and Aluminum Torch?

    Or you could try placing the wooden golem on a relay instead of a chest so it would automatically go into the system without needing redstone pulses.

    Efficient blaze experience farm?

    Did you set up the box right? In the video I linked to above it shows how big the spawning area is and how to find it easily. As for the setup, it looks like he has them spawning and then being pushed by the water into the four corners. At each corner he has a turtle set at head level for the...

    Efficient blaze experience farm?

    Yea, someone else mentioned it before somewhere about him having good tutorials so I picked it up. The only problem I had with his blaze trap was the pickup area being a 2x2, which caused some pick-up radius issues with the back of it closed. I also didn't add some of the stuff like his on-off...

    Efficient blaze experience farm?

    Not to sound rude, but that seems highly over-engineered for what it needs to do. The one I use is based off of this design: The major difference is I add an extra step down so the blazes get pushed into a 2x1 instead of a 2x2 to make drop collection easier, and it doesn't take more pistons...

    Efficient blaze experience farm?

    Last time I built a piston funnel it took around 6 hours, but I didn't have all the mats for it beforehand. For the suffocators you need them set as 23 normal repeaters set at 4, or 92 ticks total. This can be done using RP repeaters set for 64, 16, and 8, with a normal repeater set to 4. You...

    Gregtech End Ores useless?

    Either it will cause contention or everyone will just decide to come in with mining lasers and gravisuits and say "FU dragon!"

    Time to move.... I think.

    My personal preference is toward a land meets sky setup, where you have all of your machinery and power production/sorting in a base in the sky, and all of your stuff such as farms on the ground. With this setup you can also use TC3 levitators to get in and out of your base. Added bonus for...

    Building a Thaumcraft Room

    You know, you're all talking about the 2x2 infusion altar, but what's gonna happen when the tier 3 altar is a 3x3?

    Forestry is making my brain hurt

    No, that's a forestry "if you use a bucket in the recipe" thing. If you use a carpenter with mulch or any other water container such as a water capsule it gives 8.

    Forestry is making my brain hurt

    The only problem is suggesting Steve's Carts farms is if he was building a Rubber Tree farm, as, in my experience, SC doesn't take kindly to non-vanilla saplings.

    Mob Deterrants

    Xycraft blocks and I believe half-slabs and glass should work. You can also use nitor as a floating lightsource if you wanna have a more magic-y feel, and RP2 has some steampunkish inverted lamps (on when no redstone) that have cages around em. You could do that or be like me and trap all of...

    Is there a way to automate the repositioning of a quarry?

    Yup, as was mentioned, your two options here are frames using inchworm drives and turtles from CC. That said, you must be careful in the setup, as quarries destroy any blocks blocking their frame, so if you don't set it up right it can eat a hole in your moveable frame or swallow your turtle.

    Thaumcraft 3 crystal clusters????

    You can only get the research notes via crafting Knowledge fragments in a 3x3 grid. Do note this isn't the only recipe learned via this method, so you'll probably have to try a few before you get which one you want. Note, after you have all research unlocked via this method any more attempts to...

    What is this infernal contraption!?

    Ow, my ears hurt from that dubbing :X

    What is this infernal contraption!?

    At the top of this page I mentioned that all you had to do was make the portal longer, I made it about 5 blocks long and it ported through. However, the momentum doesn't really stay even if you use momentum keeping unless you link it high above ground - if you link it close to the ground it...

    What is this infernal contraption!?

    Yup, if you just increase the length of the crystal in the barrel it will still port through it, so while it's less efficient then just dropping the nuke through a portal it certainly feels a lot more fun.

    What is this infernal contraption!?

    Yea, you can't send a nuke through a portal through a cannon, but you can do it by just dropping it into the portal. I bet it has to do with how fast the nuke is being propelled through the portal....gonna try changing a good deal of the barrel into the crystal.

    What is this infernal contraption!?

    Just tested mystcraft portals and sadly the nukes go straight through em. While it's not as good as a nuke, you could probably can do it with tnt carts though and you can make em outta wood. Edit: Now that's odd though, just sending a nuke through a portal normally works....might have been a...

    What is this infernal contraption!?

    I know the quote, just can't remember which movie it's from : / Here's a before and after pic in a new redstone ready world: The shots aren't taken from the exact same spot, but the after photo is from a single-shot 7 nuke cluster - there are some small rings that show up on the map but...
