    Anyone know what the radius of the mob spawn inhibitor is?

    How rare are Hell biomes? I have been stomping around through caves all day, and explored most of an area about 50x40 chunks, and not seen any sign of one. I noticed that we can't create nether portals. Okay. But this means one can get to mid-end game without necessarily ever finding certain...

    As much as I am enjoying this modpack, I would not consider it a good start to 'ease you into' magic mods. I would highly recommend Agrarian Skies or Magic Farm (any of them, although 3 is harder) as a better introduction to mods like Thaumcraft, Botania, and Ars Magica 2 (which are the big...

    Howdyhowdy Drastic. I'm moving along down the Botania-line and a thing just occurred to me. Remember the other day when I was asking about water and eternal springs being disabled? Isn't that going to wreck how hydroangeas work? Because hydroangeas were such a nice source of mana in Hubris, and...

    Something to look out for when trying to change biomes to fix taint: if there is a tainted node in a given chunk, you can make the biome anything you please and it will still remain tainted. This is true even when using ethereal blooms. You need to kill the tainted nodes.

    Spending power for AM xp seems a little cheesy? Just IMHO.

    Almost any resource will have limited value as a sink...Sooner or later the player will move beyond needing to use dark power to get the resource. Well, hm. Perhaps rare things which CAN'T be automated/farmed. The sorts of thing which you either find, or you don't. Some low-level things I'm...

    Minecraft is a game. Children play it and so do adults. If you're having fun with something and you aren't hurting anybody, your age isn't particularly important. Based on what little I know about the pony fandom, I'd guess the odds are pretty good most of the people playing that modpack are...

    Dude. Ease up a little, hey? He made a joke. It was a joke. He linked a mod pack that didn't have griefy mods and was also cute and silly and cartoony. There is no need to be butthurt or to insult him by suggesting he doesn't take constructive criticism when he has repeatedly done so in this...

    How is it exploitative? Epic Siege Mobs can still see you using X-ray. They can still mine through the ceiling, drop on your roof and start trying to dig through (which is why I advised building your box with murder holes so you can attack things on your roof). They can still noobpillar up and...

    Several good tips have been given so far. 1. Make a small room that's superdefensible in midair and built so you can attack things trying to break into it (that means using stone walls for the walls and having a hole in the floor and ceiling so you can hack at things trying to mine through the...

    Mmmm, I hadn't realized they'd deliberately detonate on beds and chests. I just figured their AI was being dumb and they weren't going around the chests. Obsidian doesn't seem terribly hard to get. Grues and Phantoms both drop it, and it's possible some other things do, too. I had one verdant...

    As best I can tell, the AM growth spell doesn't work on sugar cane at all. I just border every bit of water I can with sugar cane for a while...If you can't force-grow it, you have to try to make it up on bulk. :)

    I have to go with Hazzor on this one. While it IS possible to get jacked by the RNG and Lycanite's (for example, the very first time I made a 1.1.1 test world, I had some nasty world-gen lag on going through the gate and was at half-health before I could do ANYTHING! I died...), it's also...

    ...And it's up. Second Let's Play reboot, this time to 1.1.1, with the majority of the safe room setup explored and explained and an almost ten-minute run through the dark (successful!) because I died and hadn't been able to set my spawn point.

    That's what I did if I died in hardcore mode, previously. But I am restarting from scratch SPECIFICALLY to show how to do a "rush-job safe room" that will be fairly defensible against noobpillaring/digging/otherwise nasty mobs. And I've finished it and it's rendering now. I will probably...

    Totally agree! I've had my share of those. They're not that deadly so long as you just keep doing the reflexive thing and flail blindly away at them. ;D It's particularly hilarious when one comes out the gate and is trying to explain something while grabbing some coal and...

    It'd be useful if we got some variety of error message: "You can only sleep at night." Etc. The way it usually works, right? Anyone know if you can use sunlight detectors in a caveworld? Sure would be nice.

    I'm still having trouble using the bed in circumstances which otherwise seem fine...No mobs in range on the map, well lit, plains biome...No message at all when I click on it. I don't get a 'spawn point set' or anything. I've also fought 4 geonachs since this update, which spawned when I was...
