    Placement limits for 1.5.2

    I'm looking for a some ideas on a plugin that can place limits on the number of times a player can place certain item IDs, i.e. allowing a player to place only one quarry, 1 chunk loader, and 3 spot loaders. I just want to keep the loaded chunks within a reasonable limit while still allowing...

    Casual Server Looking for 9 players for whitelisted Unleashed server / 18+ / Dedicated Server / TeamSpeak 3

    I usually play with myself and just one other friend on my server, but I'm interested in finding some more people to join in on a fresh map. Just because I'm considering it a "casual" server, it is not one of those servers hosted out of a basement on a home internet connection that will get...

    Some pictures of my base/machine setups/tunnel bore/etc.

    Just thought I'd share some pictures of my base and the machines that make it up. Well, the base is actually embarassing... just a simple square building. I worry more about what is inside though, lol. Everything is powered by boilers and managed by an AE system. Right now 5 HP boilers...

    Torn... keep playing Ultimate or go for Unleashed?

    Well, I tried to give Unleashed another shot... spent a lot of time using up a lot of my starter materials to make a force engine, MFR harvester, diamond pipes, squeezer, etc., to make a little tree farm to harvest force logs and power a force engine... aaaand of course the MFR machines won't...

    Torn... keep playing Ultimate or go for Unleashed?

    Hey ya'll... kinda torn about whether or not I should continue playing my 1.4.7 Ultimate world or go for Unleashed. I host the world on a dedicated server as I usually play by myself, but have a friend or two that come on from time to time and play, and I like that the world "runs" 24/7. IMO...

    Methane still a good boiler fuel?

    Well, there goes that idea... damn. So, I guess back to planks or biofuel it is. The problem with biofuel is it takes a fair bit of MJ to produce... with planks, the only machines needed are the sawmills which draw VERY little power. And on another note.... with the new recommended version...

    Methane still a good boiler fuel?

    Been playing around with an idea I had for a methane boiler and wanted some feedback. Usually I run Stevescarts tree farms to fuel my boilers, either through converting saplings into biofuel or cutting up jungle trees into planks. The biofuel boilers work well but need a whole system just to...

    Mindcrack - obtaining chrome for fusion coils

    Hmm, if no one knows about the chrome bees, does anyone know the tree to follow for the ruby bees? I did some searching but haven't been able to find it.

    Mindcrack - obtaining chrome for fusion coils

    So, trying to make the fusion reactor in my SMP Mindcrack server. I've almost finished the main reactor block but starting to realize just how much I have ahead of me when it comes to making the coils. So, you need 24 fusion coils. Each fusion coil needs 4 highly-advanced machine blocks...

    Getting Magma Cream

    Ya'll need to quit whining and use your head. Think outside the box. Set up some kind of a tree farm with a couple coke ovens, let them do their work. In the meantime, set up several magma crucibles and smelt cobblestone or if you have access to the nether go get netherrack into lava. Put...

    Steves Carts and Railcraft question

    I can tell you it can't handle the redwood saplings, I'm not sure about the RP2 rubber saplings. It doesn't seem to like to accept many saplings other than the "standard" ones, though I imagine it should work with the IC2 rubber trees. Use a cargo manager and a cargo distributor to keep it...

    Defeating the ender dragon

    Playing on my Mindcrack FTB server I decided to give the End a visit and defeat the ender dragon.. or so I thought. I managed to die and get back in time to pick up my gear again, but I stupidly put on my nano chest plate instead of my jetpack right after I picked everything up and I got plowed...

    Please help with redpower "sorting" (LOL YEAH RIGHT) machine

    Yep, the cargo distributor. I'm using that now, my sorting machine is connected to that block. So, color code my items I want to be sorted. Are you saying put the restriction tube on the path(s) that the color sorted items go to, or put the restriction tube on the default route pipe?

    Please help with redpower "sorting" (LOL YEAH RIGHT) machine

    I like these ideas so far, thanks for the help. Here is another issue that I'm noticing: when the cart unloads and the fermenter is already full of saplings and can't take the entire stack that the sorting machine sends, they go back and jam up the sorting machine. Is there any way I can get...

    Please help with redpower "sorting" (LOL YEAH RIGHT) machine

    After having spent plenty of time with Logistics pipes in our old server I was disappointed to see it not included with any of the FTB packs, and adding it to my server really wasn't an option as it would result in more "omg how do i install this mod pls windows broke my...

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    Its very simple, a igneous extruder is connected to a small chest that keeps it filled with cobblestone. A redpower transposer is connected to that chest as well, and a timer sends a "tick" to it every 2 seconds (the same rate the extruder generates cobblestone), so if it can, it pumps cobble...

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    Here is my current base in my SMP server. I just finished up my power plant so I figured I'd show it off a bit. Mine is the building on the right with the cactus farm, the one on the left belongs to a friend. The cactus farm fuels 3 36HP boilers each driving 18 commercial steam engines...

    Restarting a full Igneous Extruder?

    I'm using an Igneous Extruder connected with Redpower to supply cobblestone for Magma Crucibles. When the cobble is being generated faster than the crucibles can burn it, eventually the extruder fills up completely with cobble itself and stops producing more, even when the connected inventory...

    What does YOUR Power Room look like?

    Thanks to the suggestions of some of ya'll in this thread I decided to convert 100 of my 144MJ from my boiler into Industrialcraft power. 5 Igneous Extruders feed cobblestone to 5 Magma Cruicbles, which in turn send the lava into 5 Geothermal generators. 100 EU/T is more than enough for me...

    What does YOUR Power Room look like?

    Here is my FTB setup... running a boiler without Logistics Pipes was a new challenge for me. I figured it was best to create something that required as little manual input as possible but also gave me good "bang for my buck" when it came to power output. I am using a full-size high-pressure...
