Perimeter around a set area where no other mobs are able to spawn, quarry to bedrock, build super-efficient mobfarm because nothing else can spawn anywhere but in the mobfarm. Also use cursed earth to increase spawn rates.

It's insane and whenever you manage to build one, it means you have gone way past the endgame... It's also a HECK of a lot of trouble to wire and properly pump out the steam produced, since it gets produced at such high rates and speeds. In order to convert the full power to MJ/RF by using steam...

I got an update to this thread and got scared. Redpower was still a thing when i posted... So much time has passed!

https://twitter.com/TheRealEloraam Last post from August 2013. There might still be hope for a Redpower comeback. I have a feeling Eloraam will eventually come back, though i don't know if it will be through Redpower since Project Red took off and replaced most of the features of redpower...

That. Is. Awesome. Like Sacred Oak Tree, but rubber. I would move my base into it no problems.

MFR is all about automation - set and forget machines that do all the work for you and output it's products in a fairly straightforward manner to your sorting system of choice. All it's machines are relatively cheap and simple to put into operation. Not much more is needed, just a way to pipe...

Up to a point, vanilla enderchest is still a valid option - But it still requires Blazes and Pearls being farmed! Enderpearl farming cannot be done effectively in the overworld without mods, and the same is true for blazes, which would mean the necessity of some form of interdimensional...

I'd love to see your implementation of the idea, because i tend to accompany the CC forums and as of yet no one has been able to overcome all those hurdles and get to the point where world eater/skynet is doable. Like i said, there are no shortage of swarm programs, but no world eaters. So...

In this program you can see each turtle only mines a column straight down to bedrock then returns to base to drop resources. Without some serious modification of the code, there's absolutely no way to guarantee that each newly created turtle will have the amount of fuel needed in order to reach...

This is the earliest one i could find. One of the forumers here was also working on a Swarm Mining program, his/her name slips me now... Do keep in mind, though, that at the time of this video, turtles did not require fuel to run. To actually manage this, AND the refuelling of every new turtle...

Lots of boilers with lots of Industrial Steam Engines, lots of Magmatic Engines... Lots of Biogas engines, lots of Force Engines...

The amount of EU that is produced at night is negligible for the added cost, and if you need the bigger badder versions, chances are that a little bit of EU/t at night ain't going to help a lot since you probably are already consuming a very large amount of EU running mass fabricators and an ore...

IIRC the Hybrid Solar Panels generate an itty bitty teeny bit of EU when it's night or it's raining, but it's really not that much.

Now i have an idea. Use that, plus the spikes from Extra Utilities, and now you don't even have to wait til daytime, the mobs just keep dying and replicating and dying from the spikes, 24/7...

Name of the game here is planned obsolescenee. Microsoft & hardware companies actively make it harder to get support for their older OS's and hardware respectively, because they need them to become obsolete. Because it's when they do that they profit from more sales. And so, game & software...

I sometimes wish there was a command for showing coordinates to end portals in game. Sometimes eyes of ender bugger out on me as well. If only, such a command could be used as a last ditch effort to check if the world was badly generated and actually doesn't have strongholds or something...

Coming from my own experience, the best way to deal with oil deposits in the ocean, is to build a column of cobble around the hole that leads to the bottom of the oil well, all the way to water level, to keep the water out of the pump's way. If you do this, you will avoid the lag that comes with...

Light level has to be low, and i think they check for height as well. My best experience has been a dark room near bedrock. *Increased output but i have seen no growth yet =S

I forgot about Minium Stone. Time to transmute away, i guess. Reason i'm so phobic of bees is... I really don't like the system. It makes the game unfun for me. While i did dabble in it before, i thought it was too grindy and took way too long for my tastes... It's somewhat based on RNG...

So... Sounds like i got EXTREMELY unlucky with my spawn. In some regards, at least. Playing on the DW20 1.52 Modpack (BOP activated): 1 - There aren't any cactuses out for over 2000 blocks in every direction. I've even gone into creative and tried to scour the map over looking for them, even...
