    Well, at this point, the energy node is basically an in-line energy storage cell, and this also reduces the number of ticking blocks in the system (EU pipes only do something when a node is traversing them). If you think of it this way, why would you bother with a TE hardened energy cell if you...

    If you're having a problem with a fishing net, which randomly catches things, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess "Null point exception", probably in a ticking block... because the net was trying to spawn a particular item or block in a problematic way. I suggest you check for similar bug...

    Wisps will be caught by a conveyor belt if they pass through the block it's in, which happens now and then (it happens to me, too, when I'm flying around inside with a jetpack, adjusting things). It's why wisps in a conveyor-based mob trap end up gathering in the drop zone, even if they never...

    You probably don't need to move your whole spawner. I suggest a smallish darkroom with a few conveyor belts and a mob router from MFR in it. Send the mobs you don't want to a grinder, keep the ones you do. Or craft up a bunch of basic safari nets and use an AA and vacuum hopper to capture...

    Prayers

    I do like this mod, though I also spotted a very different prayers plugin for Bukkit when I searched for this one.

    If I'm doing that and have TE installed, I use strongboxes or hardened strongboxes. There are so few uses for trap chests in mods... maybe I should think of some.

    BTW is still around, still mostly incompatible as far as I know. RotaryCraft does it. Ultratech's steampunk tier (Tier 1, mechanical power) will be that.

    Recover, as in it breaks and is lost like vanilla glass? Silk touch. Though that's rather alarming to think you'd lose so much material. The Overworld is Dimension 0, the Nether is Dimension -1, the End is Dimension 1. All other dimensions are custom numbered.

    Mobs spawn between 24 and 64 blocks from the player, but if more than 40 blocks away they stop moving on their own. So traps that rely on mobs to walk somewhere, such as off a platform into water, won't work if the player is more than 40 blocks from the trap.

    If you put wood into a powered furnace, feeding a barrel with charcoal, then add an aqueous accumulator, you can run your tree farm on steam dynamos using its own power. If you take some of that charcoal and craft it into charcoal blocks, you can feed your dynamo(s) and your high oven from the...

    The basic MFR tree farm has a planter and a harvester, each with the same size upgrade in them. Put the planter underneath a layer of dirt and the harvester on the side of the planting area. Then run itemducts from the harvester to the planter, using the wrench to right-click one of the last...

    I prefer MFR's steam turbine for an external boiler, because it generates 160 RF/t instead of 80. However, after testing my high oven's steam abilities, I decided to hold off and just add a few more dynamos to my tree farm's power supply, and use the oven for metals only. And then I started...

    The VoxelBox is a server themed around massive, high-quality builds using vanilla Minecraft blocks and structures. They rarely use texture packs (if ever), so customized or mod-only stuff is not really part of their FTB modpack. That said, if you want to add those things, what's stopping you?

    You make a server, and I'll be glad to play on it. I can't promise a lot of presence, but hey. It's something.

    Actually, that's not a bad idea. Maybe I'll put them into Mighty Fermentation. Betcha some players will kill all the zombies on the spot and lose their chance for new yeasts and fungi!

    You know Jaded and her quest to add challenge to Minecraft. There will be such a need soon.

    It changes a couple of interfaces, but it's not a total conversion. It's still Minecraft, just with building tools.

    If you want a nitro creeper, you might try the safari net launcher. Ranged weapons/effects are the best way to interact with those horrors.

    MineTweaker was probably used to change or remove their recipes.
