    Tech mods: Why have a power system?

    I do have to agree here - RF is too easy (although I still like to use it). Something like EU has some complexity to it - you need to use the right cables for the amount of power, long runs of cables result in losing power, and you can blow up machines by giving them too much power. RF literally...

    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    I think another reason for having intermediate components is to reduce the chance that there will be a recipe conflict with other mods. If you have just five or six (or fewer) different types of intermediate components made from vanilla stuff and forty different products that use these, there's...

    Sacred Rubber Tree Ruined Server... HELP!

    I give you a new challenge. Start a new world. Obtain a Pakratt's World Ship before reaching The End. When you get to The End, before fighting the dragon, grow the tree.

    Sacred Rubber Tree Ruined Server... HELP!

    The question is whether to let it grow or not before burning it in your furnace. You can run your furnace a bit longer if you plant and grow it first. :rolleyes: And there are four sizes: Regular, Mega, Sacred, and Pakratt's World Ship. Here's a picture I found on the Internet: That tiny tree...

    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    When it comes to blocks that make stuff that's used as fuel, I do agree that they're okay as long as the energy cost is so high that you can't make a positive energy loop and violate thermodynamics with whatever combination of mods you have (making it configurable is usually a good idea since...

    Sacred Rubber Tree Ruined Server... HELP!

    It will take some time though ;). And you'll probably want to chunkload the entire tree so it doesn't leave the unloaded parts behind. And if you really want it gone, you can try an IC2 nuke or something as well. Although that might make even more lag :p. I looked up the Mega rubber trees...

    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    I think it's mainly because in modded Minecraft, you can build all sorts of contraptions and the like and there's a great deal more to do (make high-end weapons and armor, explore other dimensions). In Vanilla, you can collect a few things but there really isn't a whole lot you can do in terms...

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    Well, the "data" on an ME cell is independent of actual savefile data usage. A stack of 500000 dirt in a cell will take up the same amount of real-world disk space as a stack of 50 dirt. The real-world space occupation is more likely to depend on the number of different types of items you have...

    TC Warp help

    The temp warp might help a bit by making events more frequent, so that you get the unlocks a bit faster. However, you will need the non-temporary warp to actually qualify for the unlock. The research points definitely help for other things, though ;)

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    Nesting limit is 512 (seems to be a limit of the implementation and thus of the specification, rather than an intrinsic limit). You're unlikely to hit that unless you hit a bug that leads to infinite recursion or some other form of excessive recursion, or if you intentionally use a mod like this...

    Last night I got attacked by GideonSeymour

    Early on in my world, I once got sandwiched at my front door of my base between two Headcrumbs mobs inside and an Enderman outside. Needless to say, I died.

    What do to with lots of RF? (FTB infinity)

    RFTools dimensions can make a good RF sink. Especially if you make one where the ground is made of diamond blocks or some other valuable resource.

    Trapped in a mystcraft world

    Having a friend break the book is the best way to get even more stuck. Having a friend make a linking book back to the Overworld and bring it to you would be a good way to get out (you can both use the same linking book to get home).

    QED automation with Applied Energistics 2

    The only way I could see QED automation is if someone wrote a mod that hard-coded interaction with that specific machine (although RWTema would probably then rewrite the QED to break such a mod), or, if someone took the fake player concept to its logical conclusion and made something that acted...

    QED automation with Applied Energistics 2

    QED is intended to be unable to be automated, so don't expect anything to be able to access the QED inventory slots. The only slot accessible to automation is the output. I tried it myself with ComputerCraft and OpenPeripherals and no dice.

    [Challenge] A challenge map idea

    Chicken egg or dragon egg? :P

    I Derp, You Derp, We all Derp, What's your's?

    If you get Draconic Armor you can lock flight to be enabled always. As a bonus, lava will do negligible damage, if any at all ;).

    How could I spawn the Ender Dragon ?

    The only other non-cheating ways I know require either Minecraft 1.7.10 or Minecraft 1.9, so I don't really know if there are any other ways (it also depends on what mods you have).

    How To Increase FTB Infinity Performances?

    I have 8 GB of RAM and I struggle (if I allocate more than about 3.5 GB then Windows will start using the swap file despite the fact that I should have enough to not need it). Running Infinity with 4 GB of RAM is going to be tough. I'd also change the garbage collector from the default, else...

    WTF is this?

    I guess that means I won't have to patch my world's biome IDs with the Python program I wrote.
