    Dumb Tinkers Contruct Tricks

    Well I can tell you (and show you) that at least the Cherry trees do.

    How do you light your base?

    I miss the RP2 inverted lamps. They were smooth, had a tech-y look to them, and you could have any colour you wanted. I'm surprised no other mod has anything comparable... Anyone know of anything like that? As for the IC2 illuminators, the one time I tried them, which was a few months ago...

    Help, I'm leaking mobs! :)

    In my current world, I'm trying to scrounge up ender pearls, so I decided to try MFR auto-spawners for the first time. The short version of the story is, I've got a bunch of animal pens, using fences, with the appropriate MFR blocks in the appropriate places. Everything works fine, the only...

    Advice on setting up a mod pack

    So I've had Mekanism (and some of its friends) in my own modpack for a couple of days now, and I thought I'd report some general observations. Especially since the mod author is... here, so to speak. :) First off, I like the general feel of it. It satisfies the need for "science-y" content as...

    How to add GT to FTBUnleashed?

    Engineer's Toolbox looks pretty cool, I hadn't come across that before. I think the thing I miss about Gregtech (and I am a fan of the mod, not the bickering) is that it made it such that there was a thing for every purpose, and a purpose for every thing. Almost, anyway. You could look at...

    UE Question

    Thanks, that is indeed a good spotlight. Pleasant voice to listen to and relatively little hemming and hawing. Yeah, I said it. Sorry, other spotlighters... I still love you, really.* * : Not really.

    UE Question

    I'm also curious about this. With all the kerfuffle about GregTech and its effective removal from the pack (yeah I know about Unhinged, but it's like... barely a pack...) I finally decided to go the route of rolling my own pack and I added in a bunch of the UE family mods for the first time...

    Having a silly problem with a Tinkers Construct tool...

    UPDATE: Ok so I think I got it... the screenshot shows "Reinforced I" and that plus mining level of redstone tells me it's iron. But I could have sworn that wasn't there before... also it seems to have repaired itself now. The difference is that before I was playing in the 152wgt pack, and I...

    Having a silly problem with a Tinkers Construct tool...

    So a while ago (a long while, in relative terms) I made myself a Tinkers Construct scythe. I used it a lot, for clearing a bunch of leaves or something. It broke at some point. I even had moss on it, but I kind of intentionally broke it, I figured it would just stop working until the durability...

    Energy (MJ) mass-storage options?

    Subject mostly says it... what are the options (beyond a Redstone Energy Cell) for storing MJ? I get the sense that MJ-related tools and mods are more of a use-it-dont-lose-it deal, but I like having lots of everything on hand. I'm a hoarder extroardinaire. I want lots... of... everything...

    Is there any project table-like in 1.5.2 beta that I can use?

    Try the "worktable". I forget which mod adds it, but it's pretty cheap: a book, a chest and a crafting table are the ingredients.

    What Do You Guys Think About Cheating?

    You know, if I ever catch myself cheating in my own games (I only play SSP), well... let me tell you, I don't stand for it. I sit myself down and have a good talk with myself. Putting on as stern a face as I can, the conversations usually go something like this. "Self", I say... "Self...

    Tiny question.

    I just found it, thanks. No need to peer intently at my launcher anymore. I had even tried pursing my lips thoughtfully. Was getting quite good at it, too.

    Tiny question.

    I've seen FTB Ultimate 1.5.2 mentioned a few times recently in the forums. Then I go start up my FTB launcher and peer intently at it for a little while, willing the version to change from 1.4.7 to 1.5.2. It never does. :( What am I missing? Does it involve any sacrificial animals? Dark...

    Info/docs for Factorization 0.7.37?

    What would be a good source of documentation or info for Factorization 0.7.37? The Minecraftforum post still has info for the older versions (but a download link for the latest). The Factorization wiki doesn't even mention some of the new blocks, and the changelog stops at 0.7.21...

    Bee breeding help?

    Thanks Bomb Bloke, that's what I expected to happen.

    Bee breeding help?

    I'm no expert on bee-breeding, and I found myself facing some of the same questions as you. Here are some pointers based on my own muddling about. The short answer to your question is, yes. If you need a new branch, you have to start with a princess, but of course, you can start with whatever...

    The Tips and Tricks for AE..

    Oh... well that's simple enough, isn't it? :) I'm still curious though, does a simple "icon" of the internal item really make that much difference? I guess it requires updating while DSU's require none, so... hmm.

    The Tips and Tricks for AE..

    Can you explain this further, please? I'm curious as to (a) why a barrel would require more client-side rendering than a DSU, and (b) how you know this. Feel free to get as technical as you like, I'm not a Java guy (which you are, if I remember correctly), but I do have some coding experience.

    Replacing timers with computers

    This works quite well: while true do redstone.setOutput("left", true) sleep(0.1) redstone.setOutput("false", true) sleep(0.2) end Those sleep times work for me, playing SSP. Adjust for your own needs.
