I use the slaves a lot for this - Pull raw material from the farm with a hopper barrel, then feed that to an auto crafting workbench, then feed that via a normal hopper back into a slave (sometimes on another network). Basically automatically turn all my essences for ores and stuff like...

You don't need to stress that much about energized nodes. If you want something to run your crafting bench/wand foci bench, then all you need to aim for is a node that has about 20-30 of each aspect in it. Compound aspects actually count towards this as well, so 20 points of say Lux, will break...

Yes, well I use a staff, but you can use the normal wands (even the greatwood wand). It's the focus that is important. You just need to upgrade it which costs XP like you were enchanting and the process needs a special focus upgrading bench you have to build that runs off centivis. It might...

Curious - is there any good reason to have a crossbow? I usually go for a fully loaded thaumcraft staff with a fully upgraded shock focus as my ranged weapon of choice. I fooled around with things like the tinkers javelins and throwing weapons, but didn't see anything that can beat a shock...

Buildcraft pipes can pull something like four stacks of items in one go from a container, but the key is that it needs to have enough energy in it's internal battery to do so. It checks something like every 8 server ticks and then will pull something like 1 item from a stack for every 10 energy...

Eh? I don't really get your point. Everything you listed is done better by other mods in the pack and if you're saying not wasting resources is a concern because you've got farm automation going... then shouldn't you have access to those other mods by then as well? I get that you like it, and...

Honestly, it's only really useful if you want to push items in the up direction, otherwise it's a waste of resources when a chain of hoppers will suffice. Just put one jabba barrel in the chain and you have your buffer. I personally use it just for pushing items to auto crafting tables and...

In case anyone else wonders about this... It turned out to be faster to just make a band of chordata and then dig up oysters from the bottom of the sea. I think it took something like 14 oysters (just a few minutes of hunting) to find 2 ender pearls that I needed to make the seeds with.

How? Endermen don't spawn in the dream world.

I'm hoping someone can sort a question out for me. I'm trying to complete the dream world quest right now to brew the brew of flowing spirits. Basically I need to create a kettle which requires an uncharged attuned stone, which requires a dragon stone (a mana diamond through the alfheim...

When I finally decide to upgrade, it's unlikely I will purchase an AMD card. Although, I don't know when I'll upgrade either - To be completely honest, Game developers are not even really trying to push technology very hard these days. Like I said above, my graphics setup (Dual 6800 HD's) is...

Yep, we're on the same version of the Catalyst drivers and Java as well. Try removing the Gaming Evolved garbage. Not a fan of these supposed "value add" software packages hardware manufacturers try to install because most of them are garbage.

I have Dual 6850 HD's running x-fire and don't have any crash problems at all, aren't we running the same version of Catalyst drivers?

That's only with the 1.6.4 modpacks and older versions of Forge. Java 8 actually has some greatly optimized code around garbage collection that improves performance for later versions of MC. General Rule of thumb is, Java 7 for 1.6.4, Java 8 for 1.7.10 - You CAN have both installed at the same...

Sounds kind of wrong to me. I just hopped on the game and my RAM usage hovers between 30 and 60% depending on my location in the game, but I'm getting a solid 60FPS with my I5 CPU (I have framerate capped at 60FPS actually, anything more is wasted on my old-ish monitor). What version of Java...

How far are you into the game, ergo: How much infrastructure have you built? 60% ram usage out of 4GB seems a bit high on starting a new session.

Yeah the RAM bit is a good idea. When I read that it reminded me that the first time I played this modpack I left the default settings on and my RAM usage was at 80% most of the time which meant the JVM was constantly doing garbage collection to free up ram (and making my game slow as all hell)...

I think the most in depth usage of Mine/Modtweaker I've had to date has been adjusting loot tables and Thaumcraft (and related add-ons) research. In fact, in the current mod pack that I've made (but haven't released) I added an entire tab of new Thaumcraft research that fit the theme of my mod...

Whenever my game suddenly goes loopy like this, usually the first thing I do is install Opis and then check the entities tab to see if I have a farm of some type that is spewing entities all over the map. In 90% of the cases I've seen that's the problem. Other than that, you might be looking...
