    Thaumcraft golem boarding parties! Adorable and deadly.

    Frame airships

    Has anyone seen the new thaumcraft arcane bore? It looks like the perfect weapon for cutting up enemy frameships and it looks like a cannon turret. Mining laser deployers, tnt cannons, portal gun mod lasers and energy pellets.... all fun options for a frameship battle. Perhaps there needs to...

    What to do next?

    Don't listen to everyone saying you can't make due with solar power. You just have to play it smart and be a little patient. When I made my M.fab, was only running with about 6 advanced solars. The trick is, when you're using your machine room, disconnect the cable to your matter fab or throttle...

    Best kind of armor

    I've got quantum legs and boots, nano helm, and a jetpack. On hard mode an angry zombie can still kill me in 2 to 3 hits.

    Industrial TNT?

    I'm super bummed to hear this. I've been converting tons of cobble to sand to sandstone to niter just to make saltpeter because I have no idea where to find saltpeter naturally. Does anyone know where saltpeter ore blocks are supposed to spawn in world gen? I've finally got my creeper stone to...

    Compact Automated Alviary without messy pipes?

    Can this be done on the bottom side of the alveary so it's seamless and hidden from view?

    Windows .exe Map (item) glitching out

    Does anyone know if this only happens when maps get stacked, I don't want to spend all that time remapping the world just to have my maps bug out on me again.

    Compact Automated Alviary without messy pipes?

    Hey guys, I've almost got enough royal jelly to make my first Alviary and I'd like to set it up with some pure Industrious or Imperial in such a way that it will keep reusing the princess and a drone while shipping the rest of the drones/combs/pollen/jelly inside my bee workshop. A "set and...

    What are those flying imps/bats in the Nether?

    Sadly no, but they do drop gunpowder and if you have gregtech and plan on using iridium ever, you will covet your gunpowder. Keep it secret, keep it safe.

    Bee Breeding Thread.

    Mouse over the right side of the Apiary interface. There should be some tabs indicating the needs of the bees. I suspect you might not have a strait shot to the sun above the apiary or you may not have jungle vines close enough to those few that don't work. Your jungle bees need no blocks...

    Scrap Vs Scrap Box for Matter Fabricator?

    The Mass fabricator is the vanilla IC2 one and only uses scrap. Gregtech's Matter fabricator can use all kinds of amplifiers including scrap boxes, enderpearl dust, gem dusts, etc. If you have an automated system to keep the scrap flowing, then you don't need to worry about compacting it...

    Compact Diamond Machine

    Awesome, thanks for the guide. I think I'll set one of these up for my server's common machine room.

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

    You're not the only one. While these updates are "available", they may not be bug free. V7 is the current "recommended" build. You may need to download the latest NEI manually, or downgrade the NEI plugins to a previous version. Personally, I'm just going to wait until it's pushed out as the...

    Compact Diamond Machine

    Very clever contraption! Bravo. I'm interested to know how it deals with flint, I'm assuming it makes cobble and grinds it up for the chance to make gravel to turn into flint. Also, what sort of gates/pipes are going on there?

    Mindcrack - obtaining chrome for fusion coils

    That table doesn't have a listing for "chrome bees" or chrome combs. Can anyone find a listing in NEI for for chrome combs? I noticed that titanium, platinum and iridium are currently not available so I'm thinking chrome may also be something that's not yet implemented. Ruby Bees sound...

    Aluminum - Xycraft and GregTech

    They're even less useful than that... I made some aluminum cans when I first started (before I had a lot tin), and they refused to pick up lava from the environment like regular cans are able to.

    tools coming back when broken

    Sounds like it's an unintended bug. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

    Item Retrieval System

    Very true, this system would have to have at least one step between barrels and the final chest. Maybe chest and a button to pulse 1 stack to be pulled from the barrels required? Or maybe a router?

    Just wondering...

    Personally, I dislike the giant holes quarries make. Since mindcrack doesn't have mystcraft for mining ages, you end up just ruining your backyard. Ic2 miners can get your resources and only net you a fraction of the dirt and cobble. Make a tree farm, either forestry or manual and you should...

    tools coming back when broken

    I suspect you may have shovels from your inventory dropping onto your hotbar when one breaks. This is a function of the inventory tweaks mod, if you have a similar item in your inventory then it will jump onto your bar when you run out or break that item.
