    What is this infernal contraption!?

    It is indeed made from warded stone and I built at at max height as well, during my cluster testing with it I made a timing mistake that caused it to cause a massive blast along the whole 300m firing distance, rather than a focused blast at the target area, so that looked kinda cool. I actually...

    What is this infernal contraption!?

    Yup, and it can launch nukes over 300m from cloud level to sea level. Sure, it's not as accurate as ICBM, but not everyone uses that mod. the great thing is once you have it built all you have to do is replace the tnt and the nuke before you fire it again, no need to replace anything if you...

    What is this infernal contraption!?

    So, I just made this fairly simple, yet very evil device. Here's a pic: '][/URL][/spoiler] I'll give a cookie to anyway who can (rather easily) guess just what this device was designed to do and how effective it is at doing it~

    Epic Fail stories

    Wrath igniter, meet jungle! Interestingly enough it seems like it would work quite well for caving - when you light smooth stone on fire it smelts it into cobble and sets any mobs standing on it on fire and can clear out fairly large amounts of mobs in an area. But yea, jungle fires...

    Gregtech Problem

    What rai said, the blue block in the middle of the plan is a water source block, so dump in a bucket of water. Also, as 57782 said, you need layer 1 to be machine casings, layer 2 reinforced casings, and layer 3 more machine casings

    Self Sufficient Sapling Bio Farm

    This one I personally don't know. What I did turn this little fiasco into though was a test of rubber tree farms for methane production (gregtech) and a single rubber tree farm can produce enough rubber wood to supply two centrifuges with a little to spare, and at max temperature it should only...

    Self Sufficient Sapling Bio Farm

    Yup, when I make a build I generally start off rough to get the idea of it down and then try to refine it to be as compact as possible as I plan on fitting my machinery into spaces that are mostly two blocks high due to how I set up my floors (floor level has a floor, four blocks of space, and a...

    Self Sufficient Sapling Bio Farm

    For the power you don't have to set it up just like that, but since it's creative and I wanted to get the items moving I set up a forester in the back, and I wanted you to be able to see the arboretum without it being covered by the REC. You place both the logger and arboretum next to the relay...

    Self Sufficient Sapling Bio Farm

    Have your logger input items into an adjacent relay, set up tubes coming from the relay (obviously), have a branch with a filter for only saplings on one side leading to your arboretum and for the tube you want the rest of your items to go set a restriction tube. You don't HAVE to use a...

    Self Sufficient Sapling Bio Farm

    Back when I had tested it liquiducts weren't even out yet, and I was using mulch. The fertilizer/mulch thing is really a non-factor. The fertilizer uses 11.2/200 buckets worth of liquid per cycle, or 56mb of liquid, while the mulch uses 12/250 buckets worth per cycle, or 48mb. These numbers...

    Taking on a Large Hollow Hill

    Yea, I had started working my way towards some of the outer chests via tunneling around the perimeter of the lower base, but then had a beetle shoot fire at me O_o. As for the nano leggings, even without the rest of the set they give some points towards armor, which is better than nothing. I...

    Self Sufficient Sapling Bio Farm

    A single fermenter running on water and at full power can support about 4.5 stills running at full power (can oversupply biomass for 4, undersupply for 5, in my tests). For a fully heated boiler, 4 stills are more than enough for 2 36 HP boilers, while it takes more than 3 stills to keep them...

    Taking on a Large Hollow Hill

    So, on my latest world I managed to spawn my Twilight Forest portal quite literally next to a large hollow hill. I've managed to kill a few of those wraiths and even found the spawner, but sadly apparently soul shards don't seem to work on TF mobs. Anyway, any tips on how to take on this mob...

    Difference between Torch, Sulfur Torch and Aluminum Torch?

    Yea, edited my post above when I realized that. With IC2 though you should be able to grow cocoa beans for potentia and after you get your netherwarts you can use those for ignis and drain off the extra bad aspects, though it's not as automateable as the whole tree farm > charcoal thing, but...

    Difference between Torch, Sulfur Torch and Aluminum Torch?

    4 Ignis, 6 Lux, and 4 potentia, so only 6 torches per nitor, but yea, much more flexible than the other lighting types that require you to attach them to something like a wall while not being intrusive like a floating block of glowstone. I plan on using it as my major light source for my...

    Difference between Torch, Sulfur Torch and Aluminum Torch?

    Nitor can be used as a floating light source that gives off 15 light and you can walk through it, but it's a bit more costly.

    steel tools help

    Nope, it's simply a problem with the lexicon. The nuggets you get from breaking down the ingots are RP2 nuggets now, which don't have the aspects. If you use the Forge Lexicon to convert them into TC3 nuggets (like you would get from the arcane furnace) they have the aspect on them. This is...

    How many blocks per second does a quarry mine?

    That's the rub, I need the iron to make either of the machines as I have I believe 4 ingots left right now :X Heck, I'm still using the normal generator fueled by wooden planks that I got from using the TE sawmill. I'm thinking I can either turn that into a Thermal Gen and use some of the lava...

    steel tools help

    Yea, the enchanted drills are a fairly big issue, and the ruby thing I believe is only if you have Gregtech installed, otherwise you'll need a diamond for each armor piece. That said, diamonds are fairly easy to get with a fortune pick and hitting both diamond and coal veins with it, since you...

    How many blocks per second does a quarry mine?

    Interstingly enough though, it's actually true! Also, playing with GT hard mode and honestly don't see why people are fussing about the recipes so much. So far my only major problem has been getting enough iron, and not too long ago on my latest world I got my normal blast furnace and made my...
