    GregTech's changes and Ore Gen

    So just started on a new server. Been playing since sunday evening (so 3 days). Day 1 set up house and got first diamonds. Day 2 made a friend who is now sharing the base, went on a nether fort run. Day 3 went on a twilight forest run - we smashed in a gigantic hollow hill. Now have the entire...

    Golem containment

    have the chest with the wooden golem built into the wall and recessed 1 in. put a wall block 1 block forward and one block above the chest. You can then access the chest from behind and golems can put items in from the front, but they can't jump over the chest + block to escape.

    Shiny flying orb?

    I do believe that the size of pure node (the kind generated in silverwood trees) determines how much flux it absorbs per minute (or tick or whatever). If this is the case, it might be worth the temporary increase in flux to allow your nodes to merge and create a larger node which can handle more...

    Automated Crafting in Mindcrack pack [Tutorial]

    as for craft packet makers automatically spitting out the stone slab recipe, instead of having 1 craft packet maker for the slab and 1 for the handle, try programming a sortron to put in stone stone stone stick stick in order. Instead of making another craft packet maker with another setup for...

    Shiny flying orb?

    There is a magical energy called vis that makes up an aura that is in everything (air, ground, plants etc) It is composed of around 50 different essentia aspects which represent different things in the world (fire, water, metal, growth, change, emptiness, etc). Whenever there is a significant...

    Does FTB support custom skins?

    This is the john smith texture pack - took the picture during the sunset of a minecraft day. Unfortunately, my render distance isn't set to far - I found a cliff that goes up to 118 or so and dangles around 20 blocks out over a valley, so I put that tower on the very end. A consequence of it...

    You know you are playing too much FTB when....

    ... you start using the verbs macerate and extract in the kitchen and everyone looks at you like a crazy person. Oddly enough - to macerate something (usually food) means to break it up or soften it by soaking it in something. A clump of dirt is macerated in a water bucket.

    Sorting System and Lag

    I've been trying to build a relatively barrel free sorting system for the distribution of all items to a row of machines and 14 chests full of related items, accessible from an ender bag and hooked up to a single quarry. My design uses 1 sorting machine pulling from a chest and placing into up...

    Looking for some Fermenter Automation Help

    Railcraft loaders and unloaders have the ability to supply machines next to a track exact amounts of specific items for a reasonable iron cost. I don't have the world anymore, but it's possible to have a single track with a peat bog, aqueous accumulator, autocrafting table / chest setup for bog...

    What the Heck is This?

    dull shards are also useful for making wands... wand of equal trade for 1 dull and 3 vis shards is effectively 25% less expensive than 4 vis shards.

    Does anyone know if it's possible to make the Automap mod work with FTB?

    In that case - running this on a server would be straight up cheating by bypassing many mod balance points and giving yourself an unfair advantage over other player. in single player, anything is fair game.

    Does anyone know if it's possible to make the Automap mod work with FTB?

    from the page ------------------- Download links: http://www.minecraftam.com/. Minecraft AutoMap is the most advanced real-time map available. It is like having your own spy satellite with night vision, x-ray vision, and mineral detection! * Right click to make it a movable, resizable...

    Silk Touch Book in Dungeon

    forestry gives you access to mossy cobblestone with the moistener. put wheat and water into a moistener in a very dark room along with some cobblestone. Mossy cobble and mulch will come out.

    Brass - Am I the only one who can no longer make it?

    heh... gregtech zinc is incredibly common (one vein = several stacks) from (sphalerite?) the yellow ore in the nether. Running it through a centrifuge at a measly 32 EU per tick gives you tons sulphur which can be crafted with sticks for 16 torches per stick and tons of zinc which can be crafted...

    GregTech's changes and Ore Gen

    6 turbines, 1 engine is my setup because I use bluelectricty for more than MJ (furnaces). If you just want them for MJ and not for Bluelectricty it's actually better to have as many engines as you have power sources, as MJ through conduit has no power loss over distance and a 5% flat energy loss...

    GregTech's changes and Ore Gen

    I'm going to have to disagree with you on rp2 wind turbines as a poor source of power. 1) power loss is in concordance with ohms law Potential (V) = Current (I) * Resistance (R), each wire and machine is 0.02 ohms and the 10kV wires are 2 ohms. Power (P) = V * I or I^2 * R. There is no loss of...

    favorite buildcraft starting power source?

    engines start evaporating water at green heat, I'm not sure when that threshold is, but the max temp is 4900.6C. They do not get hotter unless they backup because of too much energy in a directly connected machine. Then you're in trouble and you might run out of water.

    Brass - Am I the only one who can no longer make it?

    brass dust made from zinc and copper still works for sure in mindcrack. What modpack are you using?

    you can still use the packager on copper! odd... but meh. For my 2c, On single player worlds I would probably heavily edit gregtech's configs, since the world not being loaded while minecraft isn't running would be a PITA for some of the 30 minute centrifuge recipes. In multiplayer, I find...
