    I'm Obviously Doing BC Power Wrong. How can I improve?

    You can't get more than 64 items in a stack with creative, either... At least not by any technique I know of.

    I'm Obviously Doing BC Power Wrong. How can I improve?

    My server was in Mindcrack, where I found only one diamond (not even a vein, just one solitary ore) in nine chunks of a Temperate Rainforest biome. I had no issues finding diamonds once I started mining in a nearby Ice Wasteland. I didn't think anything of it, except as a statistical anomaly...

    I'm Obviously Doing BC Power Wrong. How can I improve?

    Now this is interesting. I live in a Temperate Rainforest on one of the servers I play on, and have had insane problems finding diamonds, as well. I Honeycomb mined the nine chunks around my base from block 4 to block 15. Found one diamond.

    So you need Aluminum Ingots to make a casing to make a....

    You can also use Refined Iron to make the Standard Machine Casings, instead of Aluminium.

    Scrap Vs Scrap Box for Matter Fabricator?

    As long as GregTech is installed, the Mass Fabricator can also use the extra amplifier materials. Both work on Scrap or Scrapboxes. Scrapboxes provide nine times the amplifier of a piece of Scrap, so they are functionally the same. It would be simpler to use just scrap, but if storage is more...

    Some of us have compulsions. Lol :p

    Is there a way to prevent EU loss through wires?

    Because I am enormously cheap with resources, and LVT's are much cheaper than BatBoxes. ;) I usually do my main power storage in large scale, and then have a BatBox near each of my machinery clusters. What you pay for MFSU's and MFE's is far more cost effective (IMO) than what you pay for an...

    Is there a way to prevent EU loss through wires?

    This is what I normally do. LVT-->4 Copper Cables-->LVT, rinse and repeat until you get where you're going. Using two LVT's and a redstone signal to increase the distance works, but it's hardly cost effective. That method would require LVT-->LVT-->4 Copper Cables-->LVT-->LVT, or double the LVT's...

    Is there a way to prevent EU loss through wires?

    Glass Fibre Cable loses EU after 40 blocks. Each Cable has it's own loss levels. Copper Wire loses EU on the 5th block. Gold, after the 2nd. HV cable loses EU after the first cable, but since the packet size is 2048 EU's, you won't lose a huge percentage, even over 100 blocks. Any EU loss can...

    Nuclear vs Solar... dafuq?

    The proper definition of OP in Minecraft is as follows: An item is OP when: the person in the neighboring plot on my server did something in a way different than I would have done it, and got better results. I am flawless; hence, the item they used is henceforth, and forevermore shall be, OP.

    Help me find what's missing from the wiki...

    As useful as that may be to some of the community, that's way outside the scope of the wiki here currently. You could always try asking some of the modders on MCForum if they have any resources/pointers for you.

    Orbital Shoop Corp Mothership. [DEAD]

    On my default Mindcrack Pack, putting 9 Electrum Ingots in the Compressor works. The GregTech configs may not have it enabled for some reason on your installation.

    Export Coal Coke?

    If you use a regular wooden pipe or pnuematic tube setup, it should give you the solid items from inside. A waterproof pipe/liquid tube setup will give the oil.

    A Proper setup for steves carts tree farm

    You can use all vanilla saplings. Jungle Saplings work, but they will grow the 9 block tall single block trunked ones, as opposed to the 30 block tall double block trunked ones.

    Orbital Shoop Corp Mothership. [DEAD]

    There is an electrum block, courtesy of GregTech. It's almost the right color for a Protoss ship, too.

    F2 is your friend.

    Better yet, F1 + F2. Hides the GUI overlays, crosshairs, and the oh so telling list of forty-two "Screenshot saved at..." messages. Less noise = more message.

    A Warning Regarding Ultimate

    Is that Soon in Valvetime or Blizzardtime? Because that could mean "a 50/50 chance it will release before the Sun implodes" or "in less than ten years," respectively.

    Time to move.... I think.

    My two most recent worlds I have done Treehouses. They're fast becoming my favorite type of base. The logistics of piping around them and wiring them for electricity without making it look too unnatural can be a challenge, but it's a fun one. On one world, my Treehouse is built in a Redwood/Fir...
