    Why does pretty much every mod use MJ?

    Packagers can be pretty useful in certain situations, like xycraft block storage, but your video showcases how well red power can use factorization, not the other way around. I mentioned in my previous post that I think of factorization as the "wrath lamp and barrel mod", and I agree both of...

    Why does pretty much every mod use MJ?

    The gregtech industrial grinder can do 300% + extra small dust piles on some ores. It also gives you 2.5 coal from each coal ore. Mycelium/grass to dirt is hardly a feature to write home about. If you were desperate to convert a large number of those to dirt you could also use a RP block breaker...

    Why does pretty much every mod use MJ?

    I use advanced solars and electric engines to power everything that uses MJ in my base. I don't think I've used a fuel consuming engine for my MJ needs since my first couple of hobbyist steam engines to get started. All my farms have 1 advanced solar each with an electrical engine, my workroom...

    Any Victorian/Steampunk or Medieval style cities?

    I'd be interested in seeing any steam punk inspired buildings/projects people have made in FTB.

    Map help?

    Currently I'm playing on a server and don't have access to the map file, would this program still work?

    [COMPETITION] Elevator that isn't an Elevator in DW20 v5

    Currently providing a red stone signal only deactivates them, but you should suggest an inverted functionality to Azanor in the thaumcraft forum.

    Map help?

    Can rei's be expanded out to as far as a vanilla map? I like to see what's around in my base within a couple thousand blocks.

    [COMPETITION] Elevator that isn't an Elevator in DW20 v5

    Arcane levitators work both ways, slowing the fall rate of anyone below them. You could have a 2x2 shaft with pistons to control the roof/floor of where to get off. Think of it this way, each floor has a button that says up/down. If you press it, it'll turn the levitators on the bottom floor...

    Map help?

    Has no one ever had this happen?

    Map help?

    I made a map and expanded it with paper to the largest size. I then explored the world until I filled the map out. A week later I went to check my map to see where a desert was in the east of my base, but it was blank and unresponsive. Is there a fix or a way to prevent this happening?

    Best kind of armor

    Well the problem I'm seeing is that it's energy is being used 3 different ways. If you add an advanced lappack energy reserve to a jet pack it would essentially let you fly for hours and hours without charging and your armor would also have this massive reservoir of energy to use. You could let...

    Frame airships

    I wonder if there's some clever way to set up a fully automated system that would even refill the holes afterwards.

    Best kind of armor

    I'm surprised no one has made something like this before. Something like nano armor + jet pack and some circuits and titanium.

    Frame airships

    I'm curious how you've set up the automation of the miners. Unless you're flying very close to sea level, then you'll need more than 1 stack of pipes per miner. Does it also replace the pipes with dirt or cobble to refill the hole?

    Industrial TNT?

    Ah, that makes sense. It is however quite unfortunate for people trying to make gunpowder. I guess I'll keep grinding away at this soulshard.

    Detailed information of Changes in v5 of Direwolf20, v8 of MindCrack & v7 of Magic World

    The old farms aren't going anywhere for a while, so you don't need to be worried quite yet.

    Frame airships

    The best way to make a frameship work is to start simple, verify that it'll move and then make checks to ensure it's still working after every couple additions you make to it. Nothing worse than making a big fancy frame machine, checking if it works after and not having a clue where the conflict is.

    Industrial TNT?

    Another thing to note, you should use flint dust to convert the tnt to industrial tnt. If you're using the sand to nitor recipe, you'll end up with extra gravel/flint from starting with cobblestone. Why exactly is the nitor to saltpeter thing being fixed? Saltpeter isn't exactly used for a...

    Where the slimes at?

    slimes share spawning with other mobs, so if there is a lot of dark caves you'll find slimes only occasionally. If you have excess silver and lead, you could make a factorization setup to power a crystalizer. You can then put milk and lime dye into it to make slimeballs. Green swamps...

    Best kind of armor

    Ah, well looks like a gravitation suit just climbed it's way to the top of my to-do list.
