    Something The Modding Community "Ruined"

    There a a few things I am looking forward to for IC2 and Buildcraft in 1.6.2, most notably the chance to 4x ores, the gate conditional for engines to run only when power is requested from the network (Direwolf's recent coverage), and the Floodgate. Since I moved from 1.4.7, I have been missing...

    Why Do People Avoid Building on Non-Flat Land?

    I must find one, and live there. Crags are so dreary.

    Why Do People Avoid Building on Non-Flat Land?

    Covert, I love the use of water for waterfalls. It is a such a nice feature for mountains.

    Why Do People Always Build Boxes?

    I build 9x9's for the modular feel. Each room has it's own theme and the entire structure is infinitely expandable.

    Why Do People Avoid Building on Non-Flat Land?

    Yep. I think it has to do with the need for the various materials in machines and stuff vs just using them for aesthetics. I made a really cool looking rail station years ago on a server, with uses of water, glowstone, and fire for some really interesting mood lighting. As soon as I found mods...

    Favorite Biomes and Starting Locations

    Any type of mountainous region. I currently live in a Crag biome, and I want very high up next to a waterfall. I siphoned off some of the water into my man-made cave for my crops. The only issues I have is getting wood for stuff and having to make my trek to the bottom of my massive mining shaft...

    Using AE storage with bees?

    For the most part, the stuff you pull out of an apiary/alveary won't be specific. Most setups pull everything out at once and store into the system to be dealt with later.

    Using AE storage with bees?

    You will probably have to preformat every time. I don't see an easy solution to your problem besides setting up a network just for your bees.

    Can't you use the Minium Stone on a cow?

    When do you get bored of a world?

    I get bored of worlds when I either become a god, or I dislike the place I set up my base due to logistics in building, such as obstacles that may take ages to clear. That was until I found the filler.

    Question about bows

    Overall, DW20's loadout is very good for medium range combat, which helps quite a bit against bosses like Naga and Hydra. I would use a sword at closer ranges if one can due to swing speed being much quicker than a drawing a bow.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=NqUmu3Q5llM&t=750 2 slimerods, enchanted bowstring, alumite arrow Head, cactus rod, feather fletching. Use Quartz on arrows and redstone and a moss ball on the bow.

    What's a good way to get mob essence?

    This. It can also be done with a normal darkroom with no Cursed Earth, but it is a bit slower overall. There is also the XP extractor if you care to use it.

    Need a way to produce tons of scrap

    I would make an MFR oak tree farm and just pipe the excess stuff into recyclers. Simple, and some wood can be diverted to produce power for the machine to run. It is a bit quicker than igneous extruders, I think.

    Pecan trees not producing pecans in orchard

    If you look at the first page of the tree analyzer, the yield says it is the lowest. I have not worked with trees before, but I imagine there to be a machine you can use to change the genetics like you can with bees.

    Creative Uses for Lava?

    Geothermals -> Mass fab. Quick and simple, and just let it run until dry. No need for amplifiers.
