I guess I need to check out Factorization. BTW, Ars Magica is really fun so far. Lots of world generated wizard towers, hovels, huts and such.

Do you still have a cobblestone furnace in your main base that you use regularly once you have electric, powered, etc furnaces set up?

That's kinda bizarre, imho. I don't have one desktop computer for Minecraft, another one for Guild Wars 2, another one for Facebook, another one for... Anyway, I've just set a rule for myself that I am not using any Redpower machines in my magic game.

I just pipe creosote oil directly from my iron tank into the carpenter.

Until Thaumcraft was updated to 3 that's what I did, but with IC2 rather than Thermal Expansion. I would have one little room with a macerator, extractor, electric furnace and Compressor (I like the look of nether brick...) and a few solar panels with a batbox. That would double my ores and I...

Wow... Ok cool. Thanks folks.

I'm on my phone at work and can't conveniently research it at the moment but isn't 9mj the max that a quarry can utilize? The magmatics supply (pretty sure) 4mj each when warmed up. I've been using Redstone energy cells (te) and one can power it down to bedrock if you start around y level 62, fwiw.

Fwiw, I watched part 1 of dw20's Ars Magica mod spotlight at lunch today and it looks really cool. I'll check out the others mentioned.

Yeah, I'm going to. I really need to try Ars Magica. Thaumcraft 2 was easily my favorite mod and I guess I am just trying to figure out why Thaumcraft 3 is not (remotely) at that level for me yet. I've only been playing Minecraft since around October and had never gotten very heavy into any of...

Well I just started exploring the Twilight Forest mod last night and, on the surface at least, there seems to be a lot to do there. I haven't delved into TC3 enough (because I am using the BC compatible mods so much) to know if I agree with you, or not.

I'm grateful for the Magic World pack as it was my introduction to Thermal Expansion, which I have really come to love. I wish, though, that I'd started my current world without Buildcraft, TE, etc... I know I could simply not use the tech mod stuff but it's too late for that. Fwiw, I think the...

I power quarries exclusively with Redstone energy cells these days. So much easier. I rarely go beyond the default size, though.

Oh yeah... Why not just have a filler fill it in one block higher than it is currently? The new dirt blocks are without high grass, yeah?

I wish I could remember my high school guidance counselor's name. He deserves a beatin'... ;)

Wand of equal trade is thaumcraft 3. I thought ee3 had something similar, though. On my phone, sorry for not wording that very well.

Difficult and tedious are pretty much interchangeable in today's landscape. Just do hardcore mode and work inside during the day and outside at night. Also, no quantum or nano armor.

Wand of equal trade would work, I think. I don't use ee but it seems like I've seen people mass change blocks with it. Change a bunch of blocks to cobble then back to dirt... Those and the sickle, of course.

Did you get a lot of hostile wisps in the early days?

I'd be that guy but... Well, ok. I will. This is the entire thing that puts IP on such shaky ground from a philosophical point of view. Even if I "steal half of your sandwich," you still have all of your sandwich.

I think the point was not...to be blunt.
