    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I prefer a real blaze spawner fetched from a netherfortress with a jabba diamond dolly with an autonomous activator, item collect and sewage. The sewage gather more experience then a grinder. I do get my blaze rods with that setup.

    How do YOU generate power?

    This sound strange to me. How do you find those villages so fast ? All engines in game cost about 12 ingots. How can you reliably find villages faster then 6 matching ore ?

    How do YOU generate power?

    The new kids in block : 1.Tin powered: Tin->tin plate (3x)->empty cell->lava cell (320kRF)-> survivalist (1000kRF) A net production over 1000kRF per tin ingot. One could also turn any ingot in tin using thaumcraft. 2. Duplicating alumentum : 1 coal + 1 coal worth of energy = 2 coal in botania...

    How to start with the mods?

    you need to understand 1 of the core mods : TE, MFR, IC2, ender IO, factorization or pneumatic craft. You need to follow one of those spotlight. I think direwolf made all of them. This way you have access to a decent array of machines to play with. Next step is to go to the wikipages and find...

    Episode 5. The next step of automation. Day 32. Haters gonna hate, because today I gonna start this episode by cheating. To be specific, I went in creative mode and got myself the 4 AE press and a stack of skystone blocks. I've done that already. I think it's an awful design in applied...

Back on the surface I made an enchanting table and made some basic armor. Day 16. I've been preparing for the neither all day. I managed to make that sprinkler, it will...

    Strange, Yet Effective Big Reactors

    Well that's enough graphite to double the height of the reactor. I should have been more precise in my first post, because indeed filling the corners with coolant is good even with the same technique. Also, simply increasing the size of the reactor, even if it's just to leave it empty is also a...

    Strange, Yet Effective Big Reactors

    Please, if you're going to do this, don't abuse that poor guy CPU who made an awesome simulator. And invest the extra time to make your own simulator. If you know how to do all that, you probably know how to make that simulation as well without abusing of this guy bandwith and DDos him lol...

    I Derp, You Derp, We all Derp, What's your's?

    Every blocks that break into other item wield much more items then usual, except you keep every blocks intacts so you never get to use fortune. BTW, it's possible even in vanilla. it's just worthless.

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    I fail to see why you'd use thaumium to get an extra modifier and then have to pay 3 modifiers to make it any useful. Also, i'd prefer to pay 1 diamons and 1 modifier to make the pick of my choise able to mine obsidian. Then to pay 3 modifiers and 150 redstone. You find redstone and diamonds on...

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    Yes but with the mining speed of iron, I don't see how it's viable.

We all like this feeling, we all enjoy discovering new thing and inventing new combinations that no one else...

    Episode 2 : A bit of automation Day 8: My faithful journal, it is rudimentary, but I made a system to stack my item in chests. Not a real sorting system, but it will try to stack the items together to save space. I can send the result of the quarry into that chest. Much needed. I also made a...

    what made this hole?

    Yup, AE meterotites can make a lot of those weird holes. I think the random generation used is pretty clever and vary widely often create pretty nice looking formations. This one would be the deepest I saw up until now. But I keep seeing the "widest", "narowest", "horizontalest", "hottest" all...

    Going nuts here trying to find a desert and floating island

    Same happens to me in the last 2-3 games. What I will do next time is A) get up to botania sojourner sash before i start exploring. B) get a thaumometer and a wand before traveling. So this way I collect my node/research points and I feel less guilty to waste my time. C) I'll do a shortcut or 2...
