    Portal Gun Mod

    The thermal discouragement beams used to work. That was about a year ago though. It shot a beam that did damage to anything in front of it and was kind of cool; I miss that item.

    Thermal Expansion gives you easy automatic ore doubling (and occasional tripling), plus unlimited sand, glass, cobble, smoothstone and once you have enough energy unlimited obsidian. It does all this in a compact non-laggy way too. The flux tools are okay and I've decided to keep a heavily...

    Ars Magica 2 community spellbook

    Now with organization! The arcane compendium is pretty clear on how to create spells, but it is not always clear on what spells actually do and how to put them together. I have not been able to find a decent guide to spellmaking so I'm making one. Here we have a list of useful and interesting...

    [Crossmod exploit] MFR grinder system vs Ars Magica 2 progression

    Magic is weak they said. Break into my home they did. Pick me up with a gravity gun and wave me around they did. Then I cast disarm and suddenly the gravity gun wasn't in their hands anymore. At some point I should probably make a compedium of useful spells. You can get rid of unwanted status...

    How to convert rf to eu

    Which is more efficient, the lava fabricator or the magma crucible? And what's the conversion rate between RF and MJ?

    [Crossmod exploit] MFR grinder system vs Ars Magica 2 progression

    So I was playing DW20 1.08 and had the idea to hit an earth guardian with a safari net. This works with all the bosses, and the auto-spawner can clone it like any other creature. Cloned bosses do not damage terrain when they appear. Grinders can slowly kill bosses, and produce infinity orbs...

    [1.6.x] Thaumcraft 4.0.5b Research Cheat Sheet - 1Mil Views!! - Topic above me is a doodoo head. HA!

    Is there a guide to using the infusion altar safely? It seems to work better with an arcane stone base. I placed items on pedestals symmetrically of course, but do warded jars of essence also have to be placed symmetrically? Do candles help? Also, how do I remove the evil purple fluid that...

    Pro tip: Don't force wrench Mystcraft desks.

    Moving spawners is relatively standard, but Force Wrenches can cause spawners to stack inappropriately and take on the type they stacked with. You can wind up converting your entire stockpile to cave spiders.

    The former. Liquid tesseracts have unlimited bandwidth, or a bandwidth that's higher than current Minecraft science can measure. If you powerconvert to steam and reconvert to MJ on the other side you have lossless MJ teleportation. You may need more than one steam consumer / producers since the...

    Yep, pretty sure you need tallow and tallow golems first. I already had that and it turns out I was missing brain in a jar!

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Why can't I research decanting golems in Unleashed 1.1.4? I have the theory of everything, warded jars and advanced golemancy. I looked up the research aspects but I must be missing a requirement because I have exhausted all research that contains aqua and a couple of others.

    Map blocking

    What you're really trying to do is control access to the base. If your server allows it then take the time to learn MFFS. You can kill trespassers, strip them of their equipment, or just keep them out with an invincible shield wall.

    Do i put a elite battery in every piece of armor on my powersuit?

    The Goggles of Revealing remain bugged. You can keep track of aura levels but you can't see nodes without the actual goggles from Thaumcraft.

    Do i put a elite battery in every piece of armor on my powersuit?

    Theoretically yes, but practically speaking no. You'll probably want to switch out your helmet for something else once in a while (Thaumcraft goggles) so you want a battery in your chest as well. I'm paranoid and rich so I put a big battery in the helmet and minimum-size elite batteries in...

    Very rarely, Thaumcraft golems will be hit by lightning or fall out of the world. They can also jump off cliffs while chasing items and then can't get back up. Losing a key worker can be a nasty surprise if you were making biofuel for a boiler. I would still recommend golems for small farms...

    Mods that go well with BC

    The internet has a short memory but I remember buildcraft existing as early as 1.7.3 and I don't think it was new then. It was one of the first mods that let you move items, the API is in everything, and ideas borrowed from it have appeared in basically every large mod since.

    I'm a bit late to the party, but there's a really fun way to mine things like that once you find them. Set a wand of equal trade to replace blocks with roses. This produces a beautifully silly virus-like wave of flowers that eat through the geode, mining huge sections of it at once. Pick up...

    Dang I'm stupid

    Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to retrieve a star fissure symbol from a library and use it to create a way out. This appears impossible in many worlds but FTB gives you the tools to MacGuyver your way out and escape from practically anything. Good luck.
