Feed-the-back (~8:35) needs to be a thing.

Just to check, which modpack? Not all of them are on 1.4.5.

Rather than copying some instructions from Draco18s, I'll provide a link over to the mystrcaft forum thread discussing what you want to know. http://binarymage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=88

Well, you'll certainly have a lot of people to draw upon with all the applicants that made it through the build team trials.

MortalDanger, I think it is working just not for what you want. The supplier pipes are only trying to keep a single item stocked in each barrel. Because the barrels already have more than one item the suppliers think they are done. If you were to empty a barrel (the wood block barrel for...

Ahh that makes sense. I haven't tried to program it yet but I think you could also use parallel.waitForAny( F1, F2 ) where F1 is your main function and F2 is a function to monitor rednet messages for an update or stop command. This should allow the turtle to listen for an update command while...

Is that an inbuilt function or are you talking about running a separate thread waiting for the correct rednet handshake to call up a function that writes rednet messages to file? Sure that's the easy way. I just think it would be awesome for a turtle to locate materials on it's own and build...

I'm surprised that nobody has provided the obvious answer as to why EE3 will be in at least some of the FTB team packs. It is and will likely continue to be a (if not the) core mod for the FTB map. As to whether it will be included in other packs, that remains to be seen but as far as i'm...

Entertainingly enough I just posted a similar idea within minutes of this post (in the City Factories and Grey Goo Machines thread). For programming, It is probably easier to have your initial turtle contain the programs you want the rest of your turtles to use. The starting turtle can then...

grey goo: Von Neumann Turtles (crafty mining turtles). If you were so inclined you could program a crafty mining turtle to go seek out (quarry) the resources to build gps sats, more miners, and communication nodes. You'd need to start it with an initial fuel system and one of each resource...

Primordia isn't a bad choice for another recent point and click. It is an interesting store involving robots in a post-apocalyptic world. I'm a sucker for the mixture of sarcastic humor combined with a serious story. Also, apparently The Dig is available on steam. I wish I knew earlier...

Thanks for the heads up Yoh1612. This game looks cool.

Sorry for the confusion Umbra, I was trying to answer Johnny's question about how ore and quests could be infinite and how balancing for both SMP and single player at the same time can be very difficult. Also, I remember your awesome arena from Flora's video. It is one of the reasons I can't...

I'm still a little dubious about gnomoria and towns. I see a lot of potential, but it will be a while before I make the plunge. The complexity of dwarf fortress and the emergent stories that result will be hard to match. I really like the fact that no matter how well you think you're doing...

I guess i'll have to can my line of "genuine" food-the-beast merchandise.

The game isn't feature complete yet so it doesn't have too much content. By the time it releases, it should have a lot more and it should be harder. It also uses un-obfiscuated LUA so mods will likely be plentiful once the patches slow down. You can already do some fun things. For example...

Personally, I use checkpoint blocks since they can match whatever block I want. That being said, this mod is awesome and should be kept in the pack.

I still remember thinking, "Well shit, I broke something." the first time I did that.

I'm not sure about how custom NPCs are handled, but tubestuff can be used to make the ore regeneration or a conventional reward system (well conventional for FTB) infinite. It could also be used for mobs if you stick spawn eggs (+ weapons for the mobs) in duplicators. The problem I see is...

Molten salt reactors. I just pretend the reactor has a sodium coolant loop and thermophotovoltaic cells inside the block.
