    Server prefers a Quarry over RP2's Tunnel bore, Any good set and forget mining machine?

    This is one of the reasons i've never wanted to join a server. That, and most of the stuff I do is in creative anyway.

    Ways to Get Iridium (w/ GT) - And Now Also Talk About A World With No End Portal

    Except the energy needed to create the antimatter far exceeds the energy you'd get by combining it with normal matter. I'd stick to fusion personally. Incidentally, I remember reading in a book I have about physics that if we took all the antimatter that has ever been made at CERN, and reacted...

    Ways to Get Iridium (w/ GT) - And Now Also Talk About A World With No End Portal

    Alternatively, you could just go to the end and have enough for a full suit of quantum armour in under an hour (less if you're lucky).

    PvP: Fighting against Quantum Armour in FTB

    I'll have to implement this as mob defense for my base. Thing is, uninsulated HV cable causes a loss of 1 eu per block, meaning a 20 block long defense causes you to lose 20 eu/t. Easy to cover with a few solars though. By the way, to make the most of this you should use a HV transformer to...

    Biofuel boiler still viable? (Mindcrack 8.3.2)

    Wow, 20 times the fuel during heatup? Insane. What about the fuel usage when its already heated up? Is that the same as before? The massive upfront fuel cost may make people think twice before building that boiler (they're kinda OP at the minute), hopefully leading to some more inventive power...

    Nuclear Tower of Power (or how to create obscene EU/t)

    Thing is with that shape is that the cables take up room, making it 6x6. I wonder what the most compact setup would be for a group of reactors with a given number of chambers. EDIT: You also need 4 times as much glass fibre cable. Not too expensive, but its extra diamonds.

    Buildings made of purely Xycraft decorative blocks?

    I really like Xycraft blocks, but because they're so bright they don't go with anything. It means I end up never using them. By the way Poppy, in the unlikely event I somehow get onto your server i'll build my house out of red, green and blue xybricks.

    PvP: Fighting against Quantum Armour in FTB

    I disapprove very much of using lava to kill someone. It isn't nice to lose armour that takes hours to get... Besides, I thought you couldn't pick up other players with a gravity/portal gun? Aside from that, as everyone is saying, get some QEV packets flowing through through a superconductor...

    Getting into steam

    Not as large as my old MFR farm, capable of powering 20+ 36hp boilers without fertilizer (though i'm not sure how the fertilizer works with 2x2 trees). However, I have noticed that tree farms tend to be rather laggy. Too laggy for my laptop at least.

    Gavisuite's advanced Chainsaw has no sound.

    Does it not even have the normal wood-chopping sound? If not then you've got a bug, though its not one i've heard about before. Which pack are you using?

    PvP: Fighting against Quantum Armour in FTB

    This is why rapier's are horrendously OP in pvp. Seriously, you can make a a semi-decent rapier in under 5 minutes and make armour that takes several hours to get completely pointless. Other than that, the nano saber has a special effect of draining nano and quantum armour exceptionally...

    1.0.1 -> 1.1.1 Ultimate, Nuclear Reactor Change?

    I remember reading the chance for uranium was 50% per cell, though I can't for the life of me think where I read it. I have no idea what it is for plutonium.

    Nuclear Tower of Power (or how to create obscene EU/t)

    Warded blocks are (arguably) OP considering how cheap they are. Aside from that reinforced stone/glass isn't too expensive and has a blast resistance of 150, so any nuke with less explosive power than that can be safely contained by it. EDIT: By the way, is there any new news regarding...

    The Ultimate Tinkers Construct Tools

    No, they do the same damage. Its just the broadsword blocks with right mose button like a regular sword, whereas the longsword gets a special attack that does something that I can't remember.

    Boiler Questions

    Strange, I tried putting the steam consumer right next to the boiler and it only took 100mb/t. I assumed it was a glitch since you can't do much with such a pitiful amount of steam.

    Boiler Questions

    An MFR tree farm can power several 36hp boilers, depending on the size of the farm. You can turn the steam into EU with steam turbines, but to be honest you're better off just using power converters since then you aren't consuming steel for power. One thing with power converters steam...

    Is my 1.4.7 world doomed?

    Unfortunately, it is highly probable that the 1.6 update will break your world. I'm not really sure why, but thats what I heard on the grapevine. I guess you could always build your old stuff in creative mode, then switch back to survival. That's about as close as you're likely to get i'm afraid.

    Any way to get large amounts of Amber?

    Bees are really good, though they are a HUGE time investment. I don't think i've ever gotten anything better than tarnished legitimately.

    The Ultimate Tinkers Construct Tools

    I would, if I had any idea how :p Besides, the cobalt ore would still be blue, would not make much sense to have blue ore give purple metal. You know, this just gave me an idea. What if you apply the looting enchantment to the fiery pickaxe from twilight forest? Does that also give extra metal...
