    Iridium Ore layer level.

    I believe it's anywhere below layer 90, only 1 for every 5 chunks. Sounds like you had bad luck. :( Try jetpacking through the nether. You'll find them exposed occasionally (still very uncommon). I'd suggest a silk touch pick or rockcutter so you can macerate them into two ores.

    Uses for Mob Drops?

    You can stick the flesh and spider eyes into a canning machine for safe consumption. If you leave water out of your trap you can get lots of ender pearls too, which are pretty useful.

    Factorization barrels with Builcraft pipes

    OK, I'm inspired. This is tonight's project. :)

    Pumps. Specifically how to break them

    There are actually THREE wrenches. :) I think you want the one numbered 30183, from IndustrialCraft. It's the one made with six bronze ingots.BTW, I think most people use the Buildcraft pump (made from a tank and a mining well). Well, I do anyway, because it can be powered for free by three...

    Wiki Links....

    OK. :) The structure and organization looks great, BTW. Clean and clear. You guys are doing a great job. Maybe in the long run your team will feel like you've gotten the wiki as far as you are planning to go with it, and you'll feel more comfortable about opening it up to the rest of us...

    Energy Issues - Matterfab

    I think the point of GregTech in general is to make you work hard for things. So yeah, if you want power at night, you're gonna have to pull all the tricks you have out of the bag. Nuclear, geothermal, whatever. Throw it all in there until you have enough power to exceed what the matterfab...

    Energy Issues - Matterfab

    Build yourself another MFSU and attach, maybe, 10 of those advanced panels (or 10 new ones) onto only the new MFSU, then power your other machines from that. The matterfab will suck down up to 8192 EU/t (I believe) so it's just crazy to think solar could handle that at night. It's stealing the...

    Lightning in the desert?

    N/M. The Minecraft wiki says lightning does strike in the desert. Sometimes I forget to check the vanilla wiki. :)

    Lightning in the desert?

    I want to put a lightning rod above my desert base to catch lightning and power my matter fabricator. But I'm not sure if no rain = no lightning. Anybody know?

    Opinions wanted on "best" initial setup for me

    Throw a solar engine on the tree-cutter cart with the coal engine to greatly slow down fuel consumption. It really only needs fuel to run while it's removing the leaves above itself (and at night of course :)).

    A Newb question!

    You could also set up an auto-crafting system so the cells never touch human hands until they're double cells. Or at least I hope you can - that's exactly the project I started before logging off to go to bed last night.

    Can't it be both? ;)

    Change Glowstone Recipe back to normal

    Find your GregTech.cfg file under minecraft/config. Change the values in the "storageblockcompression" section from true to false. Edit: LOL. Ninja'd hard.

    I'm just wondering ... did you bring the Rhymenoceros?

    Wiki Links....

    IRL Wikipedia is a great source of information on most topics. No, it's not 100 percent accurate or complete, but then again, show me something that is. Wikipedia is good enough for most purposes. And FTB is awesome and all, but there's no need to apply university standards to its documentation...

    What's the hat/helmet in the hazmat suit? Or is there one?

    GregTech Debate Thread

    It's disabled on the server I play on because the admins blame it for corrupting the original world. :( I need to try it out though.

    GregTech Debate Thread

    I would. I'm still on an IC2 track for my ore processing. IC2 machines are still awesome - they just require a little more work and patience with GregTech.
