    500 Dense Ores in a Mystcraft Age (Instability Disabled) [DW20]

    Aluminium Ore has been replaced with Aluminium Blocks is a rather interesting note I think, I wonder what causes it to do that. I think if you used a flat biome so that it has 127 layers to dig through you might find a better range of ores, since caves will leave you with a lot of air. Even with...

    I thought world-gen was done?

    There was no promise of completed world-gen in all the mods. That would be implying that the mod authors knows for a fact he/she is never going to add anything else to the world at all, what they were waiting for was for mods that did have world gen to update, mods with ores and major...

    100% AFK Xp farm Level 30 in 61 seconds! (Biproduct used to create diamonds)

    You might want to consider a thaumcraft Brain-in-a-Jar near the system. You can just leave it on while you are away and the brain collects the xp for you to come collect later, in any amount you want. I just use my blaze rods for a boiler and diamonds since I have another shard for xp that runs...

    Flat challenge, anyone?

    Actually the Wiki does have it on there. 1 Emerald gets you 4-5 Glass. Librarian only.

    Sapling Question

    Well assuming it is one of the vanilla saplings. Oak with Steve's Cart would be the best, since it would be based on the amount of leaves and drop rate. Of the 4 vanilla trees: birch, oak, and spruce have a 1/20 chance of dropping a sapling, jungle is 1/40. Using forestry the machine...

    Converting from Beta-A to DW20

    Did your world load at all? Did it ask you Yes or No but not say anything? Did it just crash/shut down? And did you make sure to back up your world? Most likely, or at least what happened to me was it just didn't load and shut down on me with the console in the background saying it created a...

    Flat challenge, anyone?

    Well, I assume once you have a pulverizer you can just make wood chips from wood to get the paper. But you have to get sand, which I guess requires a macerator if you don't have EE3, which requires diamonds. Long process just to get some 'basic' machines. I guess since I play with the mods from...

    Flat challenge, anyone?

    You can find some copper and tin in the blacksmith chests, so traveling can help. And if you can get a centrifuge along with enough lava through travel or the nether you could get it that way too. Thaumcraft is only an issue because you have to obtain a shard for a wand. I assume you could get...

    Flat challenge, anyone?

    Is there a limitation for using the nether? You can find obsidian in blacksmith chests unless the mods got rid of it as a possible item, and also through building it with the lava from the blacksmith building itself... access to that would open up a lot of possibilities in what you could build...

    How to get IC2 Copper?

    Forge Lexicon. It's entire point is to allow the exchange of ingots from different mods.

    Automated Mining, RP2 vs BC vs Steve's Carts

    That is probably because the videos are old. The tubes in frames is only came out with the update we have now. Direwolf20 builds one really late into his season 3 SMP series. He actually has both a quarry frame and a tunnel bore. Don't know of any good videos to actually learn how to do it...

    Buying items from villagers

    Gravity gun or portal gun allows you to just pick them up by pressing 'G'

    Buying items from villagers

    No, after you buy the last offer they should open up a new offer when you try to trade with them again, along with restocking old sales.

    Automated Mining, RP2 vs BC vs Steve's Carts

    Assuming you are using a portal spawner: did you place it on frame with panels on it. Not one that has covers on it. Covers would disable the frames ability to drag it, while the panel would allow you to place it and have it pulled along.

    Automated Mining, RP2 vs BC vs Steve's Carts

    Haha, yea I know. I think of the portal spawner upgrade as a late addition. They would only really be useful if you needed to get to your bore for something like increasing the size or to disassemble it, or in case of a messed up chunk loader needing reloaded. Having it for the chunk loader...

    Quarry and RP2 Tubes

    Place a relay next to the quarry and attach the pneumatic tubes to the output of the relay. It doesn't work if you just attach the pipe directly to the quarry, but the quarry will output into the relay and then into your pneumatic tubes.

    Automated Mining, RP2 vs BC vs Steve's Carts

    I am all for RP2 tunnel bores. With a correct setup it can go off into the distance forever with no recharging or coding. Smallest I have gotten with complete automation is a 5x5 bore head that is about 7 blocks long. Getting your sorting system to keep up with it and needing a recharging...

    steel tools help

    You're right about that, but it is useful for Redpower 2's batteries. Shows the charge value as durability out of 1500. Good for measuring how much power a system uses.

    steel tools help

    This is wrong. Steel tools have 500 durability, not 800. If you press F3 + H it will actually allow to see the number based durability on all items, including IC2 tools, RP2 batteries, and other things.

    How many blocks per second does a quarry mine?

    Actually his most recent updates added a way to generate EU from enchanted materials like thaumcraft shards and the nether star. He also added a way to generate EU from Aura Nodes themselves, but it can cause a great deal of damage to your aura nodes or backfire badly.
