    E3 conferences discussion

    Kinda disappointed to see Dark Souls 2 wasn't mentioned, though I am glad that Sony isn't following M$ down the path of DRM crap (not that I thought they would, but i'm still relieved to hear it). Sony are making a bold move by undercutting M$ in the price as well, hope it pays off for them...

    Question about Steve's carts tunnel bore

    I have - guess what the result was... EDIT: I just thought i'd ask: is this a known bug? If so is it planning on being fixed? Since this problem also affects the anchor cart, it clearly isn't a problem with the SC chunk loader, but something else. Alas, I don't know what that might be. The...

    Question about Steve's carts tunnel bore

    It has fuel, and is on... EDIT: Just tried an anchor cart, that didn't work either. Is there any other way to chunk load the cart?

    Question about Steve's carts tunnel bore

    Hmm, i've noticed another problem: the chunk loader doesn't seem to be working. Though I also tried a railcraft anchor cart and that didn't work either. I assume its because I had the MC window down, since I was doing other stuff. But things like quarries work just fine. Does anyone know a fix?

    Tin and Copper factory

    Well, I wouldn't necessarily call it overusing, its just using a lot of them.

    This is exactly what I needed - thank you :)

    Question about Steve's carts tunnel bore

    Ok, I've got my tunnel bore setup going nicely, but there are 2 problems: first, because the cart digs so much, it tends to let pockets of water/lava spill onto the track, which then stop it from going. Is there anything I can do about this? Second, it keeps destroying the pipes that i'm using...

    Question about Steve's carts tunnel bore

    Ridicuolously fast. My main motivation for wanting this was to automine without leaving giant holes everywhere, but given how fast this is, I might just start using these everywhere I can.

    Question about Steve's carts tunnel bore

    Wish i'd known this last night, I woudln't have had to wait 7 hours for it to build. Well, thanks for telling me anyway. EDIT: Not gonna lie, this thing is ridiculous! The speed is just outrageous. As soon as I manage to hook it up to this cargo manager i'll be good to go.

    Tin and Copper factory

    You can pipe lava into centrifuges with liquiducts. Why do you think so many poeple pump the nether?

    Tin and Copper factory

    Well, centrifuging lava gives you 4 copper every 500 seconds. In 1/2 an hour (1800 seconds), thats 14.4 copper. So in order to get 64 copper per half-hour, you need 4.4444444... recurring centrifuges - in MC terms, you need 5.

    Question about Steve's carts tunnel bore

    Well, on my cart (because i'm just testing here) I added track remover. Does this mean i'll only need a finite amount of track? Because if so then that'd be great, no continuous manufacturing of tracks (although compared to the cost of the cart itself I guess its basically nothing).

    Question about Steve's carts tunnel bore

    Is that so? Well I have no idea how this stuff works, never done anything carty before.

    Question about Steve's carts tunnel bore

    Ok so I decided to put together a steve's carts tunnel bore in creative mode to see if they are any good. After the 7 hour(!) wait i'll be able to test it. Thing is, I just realised that there's no way for it to put the loot into an ender chest, meaning the cart will eventually fill its...

    Biofuel boiler still viable? (Mindcrack 8.3.2)

    Well this is only what I have heard. I can't even remember where I read it, meaning its probably complete bullturd, though its bad enough to be believeable.

    Biofuel boiler still viable? (Mindcrack 8.3.2)

    This isn't quite what I meant. I meant that since boilers have been nerfed (again), the amount of fuel required during the heatup phase is now 20 times higher than it was during the pre-nerf heatup phase (supposedly). Meaning that they're basically pointless for SSP, and in SMP as well unless...

    Most efficient way to generate lava?

    Hmm, the lava fabricator. If I recall correctly, both it and the oil fabricator used to be items added by IC2, though for some reason they were removed. Weird. Anyway, the problem is with the lava fabricator is that you're still losing lava over time, meaning you're forced to use a magma...

    I agree with Poppy - just because you have no use for it doesn't make it useless.

    Is it me, Or does all this "Voxel" shit really grind some gears in MP?

    I didn't like voxelmap until I noticed you get unlimited teleportation. Now its the best thing since sliced bread. I can't really be arsed walking back and to a cave when my inventory is full (I know about ender pouches, but by the time you've got them you don't need to be caving anyway).
