    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    Very industrial diesel, I like it. Looks like something you might see in real life. How many quarries are you using to support that monster? Darkblock- thats a cool build! Whats up with the floating trees though? You wouldn't happen to be building a tower of trees for that marble tower to sit...

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    Gearwork, that is unbelievably good looking! I'd love a tour. How did you accumulate enough basalt, though?

    5argan, your room looks awesome! We need more pictures, guys. The bases so far look very cool!

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    @sargan I would suggest a shallow dome made out of the same materials as the walls. The added depth would give you some shading to the ceiling and make the area feel bigger. It would also give you a sweet place to put a small doodle in the center of the dome for decorative purposes. I like what...

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    Here is the one I'm working on http://imgur.com/a/0lYpd#0 Its a private server, played on by myself, my dad, my sister, her boyfriend, a gaming buddy, a 4th cousin, and occasionally one or two of his friends. We're playing FTB Beta A Pack 1.4.2, and eagerly waiting for an official update to...

    Gregtech and Effectively Collecting Berylium. How Did You Do It?

    My co-minecraft and myself seem to have stumped ourselves. Berylium is only found as a product of ender pearls and emeralds- neither of which are easily farmable. This wouldn't be so inconvenient it weren't for the fact we need 192 of it, and you need 192x16 enderpearls or ~1920 emeralds. So...

    CHALLENGE: Inter-dimensional/Long Range EU Movement... w/Limitations.

    @memorian that is brilliant, but alas, no star fissure. @daemonblue its just for EU, no need to convert energy back and forth. We have several tanks filled with BC fuel. This should be fully automated, as we're looking to keep an automated item sorting/processing system in the spawn world...

    CHALLENGE: Inter-dimensional/Long Range EU Movement... w/Limitations.

    We are using 1.4.2 FTB Beta Pack A, unmodified. This means gregtech is an option. Limitations: 1) Railcraft Energy Loaders and Unloaders can not be built. For whatever reason (already checked railcraft config files) there is no way to add energy loaders and unloaders into our game, including...

    Efficient Redpower 2 Thermopile setup

    Thermopile mechanics, if I remember correctly, were described in eloraam's RP2 thread on the minecraft forums. Basically, it was this: water = 25 cold ice blocks = 100 cold lava (moving and still) = 100 heat For every 100 cold and 100 heat, you get half the power of 1 solar panel, but works...

    Problem 1.4.2 FTB Server Pack A- Ender Chest

    Some updated information. I've found that by deleting the .dat files of the ender chests before server start up, it loads without a hitch. So, the chests have retaken their place in multi-dimensional and long distance item movement, but its still very frustrating to have to add otherwise...

    I guess I've been here long enough to stop by and say hi

    I assist in the maintenance of a small, private server set up for my family and tend to be what a lot of you seem to call a hardcore gamer... I enjoy building things for a purpose- empty buildings are boring when compared to the machine rooms necessary for FTB. I've been playing with a modded...

    FTB Beta Pack A: Will it be Updating to 1.4.6 with its Current Settings?

    Well thats immensely disappointing. I was favoring Feed the Beast because everything was supposed to update smoothly... this is just obnoxious.

    FTB Beta Pack A: Will it be Updating to 1.4.6 with its Current Settings?

    I'm looking at gregtech, mainly. Not because I want it removed- quite the opposite. I'm running a private server for family, and I'm aiming to keep gregtech as involved as it currently is. We've built a lightning rod, are processing ores through the centrifuge en mass and and are in the prep...

    Magic World - Thaumcraft 3: Best way to create/combine nodes

    Thats... really good to know. Thanks Silvas. I'll definitely be starting a new world up for the newest version of TC.

    Magic World - Thaumcraft 3: Best way to create/combine nodes

    Once you build a gigantic node, you drain the nearby vis ore really, really quick. Its a ton of work, and its buggy. So, instead of doing that, either build or find a pure node, and build your base there. No wisps to attack you. Then, either do research there, or do your research far, far away...

    GregTech

    Don't get me wrong, I love many of the mods in this modpack. But there is so much overlap and that Gregtech is kind of stupid to include for anything but its insane potential energy production. I mean, who's going to build a macerater with 3 diamonds when they can get the same effect with...

    Magic World - Thaumcraft 3: Best way to create/combine nodes

    From what I've read in Azanor's thread on mcforums, you're better off in a low vis node, and just letting it replenish with the aura of the nodes around it.
