    Teleporting and gates....what are the options?

    Why do you say that? You need intra-linking panel to write such book and they should be doable in both 1.6 and 1.7. I used to start with qCraft portals but later they felt worse than Mystcraft portals overall. They allow inter-server teleportation though, and requires both portals be chunkloaded.

    Java 8 support

    I just want to support Java 8 at least a little bit, because it's a performance boost almost to level of optifine. Fixes memory leaks and greatly reduces amount of RAM used by servers and clients (talking about at least 1-2GB less in many cases). JRE downloads from Oracle are available here...

    Java 8 support

    I'm hoping launcher would keep itself working with Java 8 too. So far it's worked smoothly for me for very long time, but i hear some others have had issues with it. If i recall the launcher refused to start minecraft because of a minor hint from Java, caused by deprecated parameter -XX...

    Mods that are prone to lag the server?

    It's not always about mods, but how you use them. I have even seen ThermalExpansion 3.0.0.7 cause powergrid lag of over 7ms per tick. Stuffed itemducts from tesseract i believe was cause of that. Using Extra utilities for item piping, instead of TE sounds like 1 way to combat lag would it not...

    Huge problem with taint :( Help?

    Taint will grow down to cave levels too, you will only do a small dent by destroying taint on surface. And that is also why water or even ocean will not stop it. Unless you get many stacks of ethereal blooms to surround the entire tainted chunks area, there is no way to stop it without changing...

    [TC] Best thing to Deconstruct to get Aqua?

    You get exact same elements with deconstruction table don't you? Sure the arbor aspect might divide to its primal components but boat should have aqua.

    [TC] Best thing to Deconstruct to get Aqua?

    Beginner's Guide to Blood Magic

    This is recommended version of Magic Farm 2 (Blood Magic v1.0.1c.zip in the mods\ ). I did another test by putting the sacrificial runes in the middle slots and they worked. So it seems tier 2 altar can only support 4 upgrade runes, not the corners?

    Beginner's Guide to Blood Magic

    What am i doing wrong? After getting Tier 2 altar and Apprentice orb i wanted to make some runes of self sacrifice. They are supposed to increase LP gain with sacrificial knife, but i'm still getting only 200 LP each time. I replaced 4 blood runes that were in the corners with sacrificial runes...

    Tinker's Construct Smeletry Question

    Iron+Nickel (same as ferrous) = Invar Gold+Silver = Electrum Copper+Tin = Bronze Copper+Aluminum = Aluminum brass So you don't want to melt any of those same time to not get mixed metals. They cannot be separated.

    Unsupported Agrarian Skies: Hardcore Quest Bug Reporting

    Any idea what's causing this? As you can see from times, it is spamming this in server log quite much. I'm using 2.1.6 version of AS modpack in multiplayer 2014-05-20 13:29:31 [INFO] [ForgeModLoader] Current Stage is 1 2014-05-20 13:29:35 [INFO] [ForgeModLoader] Current Stage is 1 2014-05-20...

    Unsupported Agrarian Skies: Hardcore Quest Bug Reporting

    Mob health just before killing blow should never have any effect on how much exp, or what loot it drops. I have never used spikes on a mobfarm before though, interesting if they drop exp aswell.

    Big reactor control in Agrarian Skies

    I only use 2 redstone ports, and connect them with rednet cable. http://i.imgur.com/BfASRqj.png But i have a slight problem with AS at random times. It can leave control rods at full break mode while its internal power is 0... I have no idea what causes it, as the whole reactor and base is well...

    Extra Utilities Drum - Need Help

    You can put a pneumatic servo on a fluiduct that connects to drum. Set it to whitelist and set it with a bucket of liquid you want to let in. Notice that the same fluiduct cannot act as output and input then. Fluid filter applies to all 6 sides of the block. (And that is difference between...

    Suggest reactor mods here

    FPS tolerance would be the deciding factor when it comes to machines, so Big Reactor. IC2 reactors don't come even close to its power generation. FTB packs will start to lag even if you do nothing but build a big castle out of cobblestone and make ore processing line in it. This comes very...

    Problems with Direwolf 20

    I know, i had only 3GB allocated in launcher, and i was using no extra parameters. I started Agrarian Skies from scratch with Java 8, hosting and playing multiplayer and have not encountered any problems yet. I also tested it on custom pack, mix of FTBLite2 and some mods from Monster (big...

    Problems with Direwolf 20

    1. Video settings set to "normal view distance". 2. Try Java 8. For me (and i hear for many others) it increased CPU and RAM performance. No more leaking memory i think, where with Java 7 i had issue that RAM usage would go up to 9GB in a few hours (i have 16GB RAM so it could). Ingame (F3) it...

    best block for reactor chamber housing?

    I was thinking of ThermalExpansion reinforced glass (Hardened glass). It should have same properties as most other blastproof blocks. (Thought arises about Thaumcraft wand focus of Warding...)

    best block for reactor chamber housing?

    What is the expensive part? Obsidian is very cheap if you pump a little lava and use igneous extruder. I usually find some lava lake in early game and fill 5 drums, which are also made from just iron and charcoal -> steel.

    Big Reactor design for Passive reactor.

    In what little reactor tests i've made so far, you always get exactly 1000mB of waste from 1000mB of fuel (1000mB is 1 ingot worth, be it yellorium, blutonium or cyanite). Oh, i could make a bold claim that horizontal design of reactor determines its efficiency level and heat. Verticals would...
