    Thaumcraft 4 research not completing

    Small reminder that Thaumic Tinkerer adds easy mode research (so easy mode that new researches instantly become discoveries). Not as cheaty as spawning in a cheat sheet since it requires you to find aspects first.

    Hello, I'd like to share with you all how storing energy in BuildCraft works.

    One of the few things from BC I'm okay with is exactly how it doesn't have energy storage, simply because gates exist and they can automatically turn engines on when needed. Why would you need to store power when your power production only starts working when they need to? Batteries would run...

    Direwolf20 - TCon - Silk Touch - Ore Blocks

    Get some mob essence and some energy into a block smasher from MFR, and enjoy that fortune III without needing to manually break everything.

    ELI5: Ore Dictionary expanded or "Why can't forge handle the ore generation?"

    And Dartcraft chests can use that unifier card as well to convert anything you place inside them. It's as amazing as it sounds. Anyway, I don't find this to be an issue because pretty much every mod that adds worldgen ores has an option to, at least, choose whether its ores should spawn or not...

    Infinite Dyes / Lapiz

    And I hope that by "will be patched soon" he means that you'll only get two or three strings back, thus invalidating this whole infinite bone meal "exploit" (because wasting power to get something so amazingly useful is clearly extremely OP). Getting dyes by pulverizing wool is one of my...

    Getting started with Bees (Extra Bees & Gendustry)

    http://bdew.net/gendustry/apiary If you're into bees and you're not salivating after reading this page, then I guess you were never that much into bees. Even with all I said above, this thing alone made me feel like trying bees again.

    Getting started with Bees (Extra Bees & Gendustry)

    It's simple: first you look for any resource you need, then you see if any bee can make that resource, then you feed tons of uranium or redstone to Gendustry's liquid mutation thing maker, then you use that to reliably progress through the bee breeding chain until you get to that bee you want...

    Shoop LP [Season 3 restart] [Ended 2/10/14]

    It's... a face. With thick eyebrows and a long cartoonish mouth.

    Machine Request: Clay Maker

    No, all you need is one (or a few) MFR tree farms. You get so much sludge out of trees that you might even start to wonder why bother with MFR farms for crops and such. For even more amazing results, get some sewers under your animals, get that into the machine that makes MFR fertilizer, then...

    Dear Greg ....

    Isn't it Factorization that adds the Holy Planks of Sengir as well?

    Mystcraft and your opinion

    It's a fun mod if you want to create random worlds to explore (if they don't have a billion of bad effects). It's a terribly tedious mod if you want to progress through it without cheating. Libraries aren't common enough and villagers are still villagers. Making warps for yourself is a good...

    Anyone thought about making Ender Levers?

    Wouldn't that be pretty much the same thing as a normal level with a wireless transmitter behind it? ...Just like Tesseracts and ender chests I guess

    Machine Request: Clay Maker

    That's why self-control exists. Nothing is an exploit if you don't actually exploit it. Another option I just remembered is Witchery -- make Mutandis, upgrade it with Nether wart to Mutandis Extremis, then use it on underwater dirt to turn it into clay.

    Interesting auto-mining solutions

    I haven't used it yet, but people say Mekanism's Digital Miner is absolutely amazing. You can set filters for what it should mine from a pretty huge area or something like that. If you miss RP2 world eaters, there's Redstone in Motion (for frames, not sure how stable it is though) and...

    Machine Request: Clay Maker

    (Xeno's) Reliquary lets you turn one block of clay into three blocks, by crafting it together with the Tome of Alkahest and a piece of redstone dust. Unless your version is bugged and you forgot to verify if that's indeed a bug from the mod or weird cross-mod interaction, like me.

    Nether Woes - a couple of questions.

    ^ Only the explosions, pigmen will still get mad at you. I find the quartz change pretty silly, given how useful it is for tons of mods nowadays (and how it doesn't yield double the output of overworld ores just like the rest). Nether ores are valuable and (somewhat) rare, so it makes sense that...

    Thermal Expansion Question. now Integrating Buildcraft.help.

    Since not too long ago. RWTema is just bad at updating the descriptions for him items in the MCF thread. The NEI plugin might be up-to-date, though (and I always forget about it).

    Modular Powersuits out of fashion?

    The problem is exactly that half stack of ender pearls. I don't know much about Magical Crops, but getting them the vanilla way is annoying if you haven't already trivialized the game by making an ender farm and ender lillies aren't the most common of fastest thing. At least there might be a...

    Thaumcraft Alchemy Automation

    Openblocks also has this different dropper that actually drops things downwards instead of vomiting them all over the place. You'd most likely run into the same problem, though.

    Why don't people like IC2 anymore?

    The difference is that some of the mods you've mentioned actually tell you that you need to be careful, especially TC with its amazing in-game guide. IC2 barely has a working updated wiki, BC sells guides on how to use it, and Railcraft on the other hand does have a nice external guide. At least...
