How many blocks/chunks does a world anchor keep loaded? I want my sorting system, as well as its power supply to stay loaded and need to know the best way. Sub question, what would be the use of a chunk loader rather than the world anchor. Thanks in advance!

Finding a nice place to set up is a nightmare indeed, I did just get lucky though! Was zooming around looking for a nice spot to set up my 3rd base on a map and found a nice plain next to an autumn biome with a village less than 100 meters away. Screenshot (and seed, with coordinates) if...

Ahh, nice one thanks, as long as I don't need to worry about it for now!

Afternoon all, since the last update I get this error message every time I log in, any ideas what I can do to remedy it? 2013-02-21 17:27:42 [SEVERE] [ForgeModLoader] Detected leaking worlds in memory. There are 4 worlds that appear to be persisting. A mod is likely caching the world...

Is there a loss over distance with EU in a fibre cable? Having built a few ultimate solars now, I was going to maximise my energy gain by having them in a desert biome that is x (where x is a number I can't remember between 100 and 200) blocks from my base.

For large scale storage, make a big tank and use the spare MJ to feed magma crucibles turning netherrack into lava. When you want some power back, the magma engines turn lava back into MJ!

Cool, will anything explode if I only have 8 on there?

How many industrial steam engines can I run from a 36HP boiler?

Just putting together my first big facility, the first few floors are 10 blocks high to allow for tanks/pipes etc. etc. etc. as well as about 50 blocks across.What is the best way to light an area like this to prevent monster spawning? Thanks in advance.

I'm using the mindcrack pack with added Mystcraft and Gregtech disabled. Is there a reason why the timer causes a lagspike every time it 'activates', even if it is not controlling anything?

Just done the same, nice and easy! Thanks all for the replies.

Ideal, how would I go about this please, is there a guide anywhere?

Can I just add Mystcraft to Mindcrack?

Hi all, I'm a good few hours in to a Mindcrack server (on a friends recommendation), only to find there is no Mystcraft! Which is the best pack to use that has everything?

Just a quick one, I have a fairly orderly pile of magmatic engines supplying my MJ needs, but have over-engineered somewhat to allow for busy periods. While any oversupply just goes right back into lava via crucibles, I'm also starting to get an oversupply of lava! What is the easiest way to...

24 Magma motors powering 12 crucibles with an automated netherrack feed, bolted on to a 6272 bucket lava tank. This in turn powers the 4 banks of 5 Magma motors feeding several redstone cells to provide MJ. Also have a few geothermals powered by lava to supplement my solar power for Eu...

Yes, that should work perfectly thank you, as I said I'll give it a try after work. Now I have a system that works I can mess about a bit with the various pipes to see what works with what. I would still like a decent guide though, if such a thing exists. Everything I've seen so far misses out...

Option 2 could work, as the 3 sets of 2 crucibles are fed with their own chest anyway, I can just drop a return straight down from the top crucible, didn't know that was possible! Thanks again, at work now, but I'll try it this evening.

lol, no problem wtf, I have further problems with which to tax you/others! The problem is now one of oversupply. Once the crucibles hit 64 netherrack, yet again they start spraying them into the scenery. Am I asking too much for some kind of monitoring or regulation system (It's not too much of...

Got it sorted! Chest outputting straight to a wooden pipe powered by a redstone engine, then to cobblestone pipe to the inputs. It works! Thanks everyone for the help.
