The hell cows are actually pretty tough even with FTB weapons and armor. Basically the only possible way to kill them as fast as they come at you is the firestorm spell (silver unlock) from the same mod. The only sane reason to go to that place is to kill enough hell cows to fill a phylactery...

Calclavia's MFFS can be used to make frameships with the force manipulator. Basically, you can pick up an area and move it by one block. Direwolf20 has a demonstration of a compact inchworm drive. The energy requirements for a simple little ship are quite reasonable and are attainable in...

Aha! A thread about violence in videogames - I love violence! Wait, what's going on in this - ... oh. OH. On one hand, digital rights management is not a phrase I would say in polite company or around children. On the other hand, I don't like the people who want me to pay $50 for a virtual...

The Earth guardian breaks blocks when it first spawns and the air guardian occasionally blasts huge holes in the ceiling. They're nothing like the wither though, and given that you need to kill dozens and dozens of bosses to get all the spell components I really don't feel bad about cheesing...

My favorite death is falling into lava, trying to douse the lava with a water bucket, and accidentally sealing myself underneath obsidian in a lava lake while not fireproof. You'd think this would never happen except in vanilla. Somehow that expectation is always wrong.

My connection is sometimes not so good so working with unstable ingots on a server is... very risky. I can finally get to the Deep Dark without dying!

I made a community spellbook for this sort of information. The order is shape, component, modifier. >beam | entangle | mana drain Beam will work much better here. Channel works fine for dig but I think that's only because you can't dig yourself. >rune | AoE | heal | rune procs | rune procs |...

Harvesters and planters are relatively low-power devices, especially for what they do. I'm not sure how much it needs but the answer is not much. MFR farms can produce A LOT OF WOOD. They're also planting regular saplings, not funky saplings like Forestry creates, so all methods of speeding up...

Last time I tried it, trains could be launched through Mystcraft portals with few casualties. This mod often gets disabled though and it would be nice to have a reliable in-house solution.

A magic mirror cart that can return the contents to base or be remotely supplied. An arcane levitator based upgrade to the launch track with adjustable launching power.

The Soulbound enchant from Ars Magica 2 is obtainable by enchanting a spellbook and then putting it in a MFR disenchanter. This will cause an item (like a pouch) to follow you after death. The Divine Intervention spell effect is also really useful for getting out of trouble.

Cannons, catapults and artillery. ICBM has some of these but is not really about them. There could be player and NPC cannons for transportation, siege weapons, hwatchas, all kinds of fun things. Occasionally sieging NPCs would spawn outside your base, armed with cowapults and sending a squad in...

I've gotten MFFS tunnel-borers to work. Making things fly with MFFS is actually pretty easy, but the disintegration module is an unreasonably power-hungry beast if ramped up to speeds that would let it move through obstacles. ME transition planes and Arcane Bores were better, with the bore...

The worst kind of magic; vanilla magic. Normally water plus non-source lava equals cobble, or smoothstone if the lava comes from above. If the lava flows into a space containing redstone with water adjacent so it would normally turn to cobble, you mysteriously get a block of obsidian instead...

The giant flowers and the roosters that crap red dye were... beautiful. It always felt like the right place to do a lot of bees.

The flower spell is interesting. For one, it can produce valuable desert nova if cast in a desert, and it gives me some ideas on speeding up agriculture. It doesn't make aums in a witchwood forest. I am disappointed, but they are farmable anyway. I have found a weird little exploit while...

The NONE tomes are (sometimes) obtainable by shooting a dark mage with a disarm spell. Affinity seems to be a mostly broken mechanic at the moment; it is very, very difficult to get to 100% even if you mostly spam two spells so you will probably never need it. In fact, I'm not sure it does...

Whitelist application: IGN: TangentialThreat Age: 25 Experience with mods: More than I'm proud of. Banned y/n: y, not in a long time though. Why ^: I stole five bees, and another time I was new and there was a griefer on the loose so they assumed it was me. What else would you like to say: DW20...

There are dangers. When I was first experimenting with this I decided to launch a space probe into the ME system. So, ExtraUtils redstone clock, a chunkloader, and a wireless transmitter. If the receiver still beeps from the other side the probe will be successful. Hit the button aaand... the...

IC2 experimental reactors show heat and EU output in the GUI. They need a cable and a place to put the power to actually make any though. Reactor safety can be cheesed several ways. Nuclear control lets you auto-shutdown at a certain temperature, and some fluids are completely blast proof and...
