    Diamond Spawn seems really low?

    Build a gregtech industrial grinder, manually mine nikolite ore with silk touch/rock cutter. You get 1 small pile of diamond dust per nikolite. Most IC2/gregtech recipes can accept diamond dust as a substitute for diamonds.

    FTB Base Ideas

    Make a skyrim style viking castle in a tundra or for bonus points on top of a glacier with carved ice stairs to get to it! Get creative with the microblocks. Use a carved dragon head coming out of the roof's spine. Make norse runes on the walls of your thaumcraft room and place lights behind...

    Is there a program to do this?

    Count all the ores? Like how many different kinds and quantities of "ore" blocks are in the world? Why in the world would you need to do that? Ores are generated on chunk loading for the first time, the number you get would depend on how far you've walked from spawn. If you want something that...

    Okay so the excess EU would be stored in the transformer until needed?

    Magma crucible/general help

    If you place a liquiduct (made from hardened glass from the induction smelter) on the tank and hit it with a Cresent hammer or an omni-wrench, it'll show an output arrow. Now simply apply a redstone signal (lever works well) and it will pump automatically from the tank and fill the liquiduct...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    That's a good point, what happens if you convert 512 to 128 and the machine only needs 128 per tick. Every tick would it draw 512 from the MFSU for something only using 128?

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Thanks, I was concerned I'd have to hook multiple sides of the transformer up to avoid waste. How does this work for multiple sides then? Let's say you have 3 sides of a transformer outputting, where does the 4th packet go? What about 5 sides?

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Question: How does a MV transformer convert 512eu packets into 128eu packets? Specifically, does it take a 512 packet and convert it into 128 while wasting the remaining 384 eu? Does it split the 512 into 4 equal 128 packets and send them down different wires? Can it send 4 equal 128 packets...

    Advanced Mining Drill

    I carry my lappack and other tools (such as wrenches, etc.) in a canvas bag and swap it in when my drill needs a recharge. I don't do a lot of manual strip mining, but I keep a thermal generator (lava powered) and an MFE at the entrance area of my mine so I don't have to go far to recharge it. A...

    What to do with leather and chain armour

    Last night I probably spent over two stacks of iron on boots for thaumcraft research for the latest recipes added in the update. If I where you, I'd save all your leather armor.

    An idea to prevent Nether lava exploitation

    I agree, I have so much lava from my IC2 Miner/pumps that I've ended up just centrifuging hundreds of lava cells to get rid of them.

    Updating Mindcrack server to 1.4.7

    Are all the mods updated for 1.4.7 already? I thought we where still waiting on all that to be tested and ironed out still.

    An idea to prevent Nether lava exploitation

    It's simple, according to to the OP we're not having fun correctly and need to change.

    An idea to prevent Nether lava exploitation

    Solution to server lag would be to enforce users of nether pumps fix flowing lava periodically. If you start near the shore of a lava ocean and expand outwards every so often, you could dam up the area you pumped from and remove lingering flowing lava. You pump it. you fix it.

    Etho's FTB LP

    Speaking of ludicrously rare metals, are Shiny Ingots part of TE? If so, what are they planned to be used for?

    An idea to prevent Nether lava exploitation

    I like your suggestion. Geothermal and Thermal generators should be a little more creative instead of converting molten hot rock into electricity through magic. If it required water and worked like a steam engine, that would make more sense. Even regular generators should require this, burning...

    Most efficient way to generate lava?

    An idea to prevent Nether lava exploitation

    I think nether lava is a personal preference thing. If you don't like it, don't use it. If you don't like others using it on your server, then make it against server rules. Otherwise you don't need to "fix" it for the rest of the world. I don't use it, but that's my choice. Lava is already...

    Most efficient way to generate lava?

    Here's a solution, use something other than magmatic engines to power the creation of lava. Tier 5 blaze spawner, some buckets of water and obsidian pipes/transposers feeding into a steam boiler or sterling engines. Or maybe an automated milking station pumping milk into biogas engines. Both of...
