Drive-by thought: "Miner" might be another job role for a villager.

Good point. I wasn't really thinking that every single thing would be available, but I failed to spell that out. It makes a lot of sense to have a limited common-sense-based set of commodities the villages will have available, plus probably a cap on the amount of a particular item, plus the...

Just spitballing here, but you could use a barter system based on the EMC system from EE2, where everything is assigned an intrinsic value. It didn't work well in that context, but if you built in some profit and overhead for the merchants, it could in this one. Here's a table of the values...

Yep. It's on the first page.

You could use three redstone engines, which is all I ever use, and it's plenty. Or one magmatic engine. But I've heard better ideas than mine in this thread for possibilities of dealing with the problem.

Ha. I don't think I'm the one who's worked up. Edit: The response here was tongue-in-cheek. I'll let you get back to your discussion.

Where were you guys when I needed you? :D

I'm obviously missing something here too. An end-to-end example would be much appreciated.

EvilHamster (and anyone else in this thread): You're hereby cordially invited to come play on our server. :) Hopefully you'll never experience any server lag, but in the unlikely event that you do :rolleyes: you'd get a sense of the difference between what people call "block lag" and "frame rate...

The mod is available for 1.4.6. I obviously haven't tried loading it, but theoretically it should work: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1629898-146-powercrystals-mods-powerconverters-21-mfr-netherores-and-more/ Edit: Or you could just do what everybody else does and switch to an electric...

I figured it out. The fueller was part of the Power Converters mod, which isn't in FTB. The wiki says you have to use a canning machine and fuel cells now to fuel your jetpack, which essentially makes them pointless, IMO.

What happened to the Jetpack Fueller? That thing was great. Apologies if it's back and I missed it. I haven't looked for it since the FTB BETA.

That's not my thread.

AFAIK that's exactly what they do.

There has been at least one suggestion in here to replace lava source blocks with cobblestone as they're pumped out (I'd use netherrack if in the nether, but that's just a quibble). If that were implemented, I'd think it would help a great deal with server load, no?

Couldn't agree more. From my perspective, though, the problem is really players like the one I described above. They're really not that clever, but they want their quantum armor. So they spam huge numbers of geothermals rather than progressing into higher-output, more-complex systems. Thus...

It's funny how you think you know things until the rubber hits the road. I believe in this case the problem is that the the wood logs need to be in the carpenter's inventory. Of course I could be thinking of the thermionic fabricator though. Edit: Double ninja'd!

Villages are pretty lame ATM - basically they're a place to raid early-game loot and food. Something like this would go a long way toward making them interesting.

Agreed, balance is very hard to deal with. I was hoping to get to the heart of the matter, which is really the fact that lava is available in practically infinite quantities in the Nether. By addressing it at the source (where you pump it), my thought was to make a small change that would have a...

Both of those issues concern me, but of the two server performance is the one I care about more. There's a third issue too: The nether already isn't the most beautiful place, but seeing giant holes in lava lakes bugs me a lot. I guess I just see it as a "screw everybody else, I do what I want"...
