Why don't you use scaffolding to cut the top wooden blocks of the tree, before you have access to something that gives you that functionality, such as the Axe of the Stream? When i play, i just avoid Oaks with side branches, and prefer to cut Birch whenever it's available, using Dirt to reach...

IIRC it's Gregtech that adds this recipe in, so people who don't play with it enabled don't have access to that recipe.

How's he going to update his world to 1.5+ before RP2 and many other mods he's using update? He no doubt can add the 1.4.7 version of Ars Magica, but it won't have half the stuff added in the 1.5 update.

It's not impossible, he could very well do it, but i don't think he will. The 1.5+ version added many new features, fixed many outstanding bugs, and he already spotlighted the 1.5+ version. He is interested in adding it into his LP's, but if you watch the spotlight he pretty much says it clearly...

I'm repeating the suggestion i made in another thread: A thread like this should be made into a sticky so that people looking for cool and nifty ideas could just browse the stickied thread instead of making a new one each time.

Blulectric Engine can convert RP2 Blutricity straight to MJ, then you can use stacked thermopiles, RP2 Windmill's/Solar Turbines or Solar Panels to produce renewable blutricity, which you then convert to MJ using the Blulectric Engine. The blulectric engine also has a pretty high max MJ output...

Yes, but most machines don't accept Sulfur Goo as a bonemeal replacement. Turtles have absolutely no problem with it, though. I don't think Deployers have any problem as well.

His LP's last about 100 episodes. He's going to finish his current LP and then he'll do another LP for 1.5+ with all the new features added by all of the mods, especially since due to the changes in 1.5 it's going to be pretty hard for any world to survive the transition.

It will be added once he starts another LP series... He won't add it to his current LP because the 1.4.7 version does not have all the updates that are available on the newer versions. Which sucks for us, but otherwise is bretty good. About protections, the dig spell with a beam works not much...

Yes, no chance in hell of ever seeing Ars Magica added before the 1.5.1 update. Which, you now, can take a while. DW20 won't start his 1.5+ Let's Play series before he wraps up this current series, which will take at least another 1 to 2 months, and the other FTB packs may or may not update...

I don't know, man. For Saplings wouldn't the best option be using a track in a circle around a 2x2 empty space where you grow Fir or Redwood Saplings? One single one of those trees is a stack and a half of Saplings, and by giving it just enough space for 1 Tree to ever be grown at once, it'd...

Well, post away, i'm sure everyone thinking and bashing heads together could make sense of whatever you have to say, and something good could come out of it. Nothing good has ever come by withhelding ideas. As for the whole turtles vs quarry thing... Using a BC3 Quarry, for me, is in no way...

What program is this that you used to generate this overview? Beautiful.

He even took the time to plot a graph with the increasing speed of the quarry and determine where, more or less, the quarry tops off in speed. Unless there's an update that i don't know about, you don't actually get more speed after about 25MJ/t. He deliberately engineered his program to beat...

If you label your turtles, they store their programs. If your program includes a way to store the state it's in, then it can have a resume functionality. It's a pretty complex thing to code if you don't use GPS functionality to do so, but it does allow for the turtle to recover itself from a...

They barely beat a BC3 quarry in terms of time, but they beat it handily in terms of fuel consumption. Using AustinKK's Ore quarry program as a basis of comparison (he's the one that did the comparison video and optimized to beat the BC3 quarry), an 8x8 hole to bedrock consumes 30 Coal. The BC3...

Oh, didn't know that. Cool. Can it be any chunkloader, like the spot loader that only loads 1 chunk?

Why would putting more chunkloaders help with lag? I'd think that would make the lag worse, not better.

Very interesting. This goes to show why Azanor is thinking about completely revamping the Vis/Aura system in 3.1. This is way too convoluted and complicated to work around with. It also means that setting up shop anywhere NEAR a TC3 barrow is bound to bring about the doom for crops and wooden...

I'd like to note here that Eloraam herself has a stance on "copying" ideas that is friendly to the idea of a mod trying to recreate the features of RP2 in a different way. She talked about it on her blog, how she herself borrowed ideas from other mods, and other mods borrowed ideas from her, and...
