    Which mod changes the sky height?

    All I know is I can easily go above 256. In other games I've seen height increases slow things down from simply having more computations to perform, so I'm checking that. My problem is that, while I know I only have 2G RAM (Windows XP), it worked fine up to Minecraft 1.4.7. After that, my...

    Which mod changes the sky height?

    I'm having performance issues with the current (1.5.x Minecraft) version of FTB, that I didn't have in Minecraft 1.4.x. I'm checking mods to see if the change is with Minecraft, a mod, or my computer. I don't know if the sky change is the cause, but I'd like to check if that's the reason, and...

    Anyone using 9 or close to 9 different inputs into MFR Bioreactor ?

    I use a single Planter, Harvester, and Fertilizer each with a +3 upgrade. Which makes each square 9x9. With the Planter's internal filter that makes nine 3x3 squares. Perfect for a Reactor. Two Composters will easily run the Fertilizer. I'm working on a method without the fertilizer though I...

    I know I'm probably beating a dead horse here but.. Dartcraft.

    The only way any mod will be balanced with another mod is if they are specifically made to do so. Try using a force engine without MFR, Forestry, or Steve's Carts. Then tell us how overpowered the force engine is. Without the ability to automate tree growing or cow milking. It's not the...

    "Tinker's Construct" what is this item?

    Thanks. Couldn't find anything on the internet about it.

    "Tinker's Construct" what is this item?

    I found an item in NEI called a "casting channel", made with five seared bricks like a boat is. In Unleashed 1.1.4. Anyone know what it's for?

    looking for a lot of free power

    With testing in Unleashed 1.1.4 you can run 85 ranchers off one squid. The ranchers do extract from the top and each one produces one ink sac per second. That's an 11x11 grid with each 3x3 corner removed.

    looking for a lot of free power

    Technically you can get 97 Ranchers to work with one square. But that's only if you can extract from their top or bottom. I've tested Harvesters and you can power them from the bottom and extract from their top. But I don't know how Ranchers handle the overlap. Or if they work with something...

    Transfer node and pipes being slow?

    The speed upgrade makes it cycle through the pipes faster. The transfer node individually checks each pipe in the network for a connected inventory each second or half-second (can't remember which off the top of my head). Each speed upgrade decreases the time between checks. Transfer pipes...

    looking for a lot of free power

    Mushrooms require fertilizer to grow big. They are placed by the planter on dirt and cobblestone (I only grow them on one block in it's 3x3 area so I have to dig out the others, though I haven't tried sand) and are placed regardless of light level. They MIGHT be uprooted by light if not hit by...

    looking for a lot of free power

    I've found setting up some Sewers to fertilize a MFR Farm works quite well. When given a +3 upgrade the Farm covers a 9x9 area. And the internal filter further divides that into nine 3x3 plots. I can usually get two Composters running to provide the fertilizer, and I get a huge surplus from...

    [Tinkers Construct] How to start out?

    I keep forgetting cans exist :P TiC, while still being resource intensive, doesn't require much METAL to get started on ore doubling. It probably takes a little longer than other options but is good if you want to save as much of your starting metal as possible. Though it does take more...

    [Tinkers Construct] How to start out?

    Do note that, unless you get lucky and find a bucket somewhere, you'll have to smelt three iron to make a bucket to power a smelter. Other than that you don't need any metal before you can start doubling your metal. You'll just need a lot of charcoal or coal to make a smelter.

    Memory problem of some sort?

    Pastbin at MuD3prNQ What usually happens is that Minecraft freezes for a few seconds and then I can move again. Sometimes normally for a bit, but eventually just for a frame, then it freezes then jumps, and repeats. I usually, but not always, get the GL ERROR. And once I can finally quit my...

    Today I Learned

    Yes. One MFR fertilizer in the crafting grid becomes one Forestry fertilizer.

    Unleashed observations

    On the warded block, this might be deliberate. The ender dragon flies right through obsidian without destroying it, so the wither might just completely ignore blocks it can't destroy.

    Doing some research in the newest IC2_Exp build[138]

    I believe that the point that was trying to be made is that making each plate is faster than resmelting a piece of iron. Thus, it's faster to make eight iron plates to make a machine block than it is to wait for eight iron ingots to smelt. In early game where you don't have an induction...

    Another Mystcraft Worldgen question...

    If you use some other stone in place of the base stone, doesn't that override any minerals as well?

    Memory problem of some sort?

    I meant versions of Minecraft. I've had bases in 1.4.x next to a jungle with no problem. But in 1.5.x I have to restart the game. It doesn't crash though. And I just cleaned my computer because that's happened before, though it didn't work. I'll get to work on the console log. I also get...

    Cofh ore generation?

    The defaults listed change to whatever you changed it to. No idea why, but it's been that way since Unleashed came out.
