    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Make a new server rule. Ops will destroy your spawner and take your shard if you don't automate it to turn off when you have a surplus of mob drops. People will be so wary of permanently losing a Tier 5 spawner that they'll be sure to follow the rule. It's not like that kind of automation is...

    Supposedly, ShadwDrgn tweaked the mobs spawned by Tier 3 and above spawners, keeping them from despawning. So if mobs from those spawners aren't sticking around to be killed, it's a bug.

    Soul Shards. Tier 3 and above don't require players nearby. All you need is a chunk loader (or even just a single spot loader). And I can think of a few ways to do it without requiring anything from RedPower at all. Edit: Whoops, ninja'd.

    "@ray73864 according to the FTB team it is a problem with the code. It gets 10000x worse the moment any of the tanks get full." "@ray73864 again, I will refer you to the creators of the mod that are aware of the issue and intend to fix their code." Except Soaryn has tweeted that he doesn't...

    Best mining method?

    Well, to be honest, I undershot it slightly. Chuck Norris jokes more or less began between 8 and 9 years ago.

    Preferred wall / floor / ceiling thickness...

    I'll probably use normal-ish walls, but just leave all of my piping and wiring exposed to make it look all industrial. I do that too, oddly enough. I build a big mansion with an equally big basement, and the above-ground floors of the mansion remain more or less unoccupied and empty while I...

    can i get some mystcraft page order help?

    Right. I'd forgotten. I just checked the Mystcraft wiki and you're right. Only the sunset color can be changed. Actually, the Symbols page of the wiki is a wealth of useful information. If you can't color celestial bodies, then color modifiers will affect whatever comes after the...

    can i get some mystcraft page order help?

    Modifiers for the Sun and Moon can be in any order, as long as they immediately precede the Sun or Moon that they're modifying. So just list all the modifiers you want to affect the first Sun, in any order, and then the first Normal Sun page, then the modifiers for the second Sun, then another...

    Preferred wall / floor / ceiling thickness...

    Fixed. This sounds really fun. Instead of camouflaging all of my pipes, tubes, wires, etc., I really want to make a base some day where the floors, walls, and ceiling are entirely composed of pipes, tubes, machines, etc. I want the internal workings of my base to form the actual structure of...

    Xycraft Multitanks and Lag.

    I can speak from personal experience when I say that attempting to drain the water in a quarry (especially a really big quarry) can cause so much lag that my client auto-disconnects due to a memory overflow. I even crashed my server a couple times before I raised its memory limit.

    Epic Fail stories

    Still trying to clear water out of my quarry. I restarted the server after allocating a whole lot more memory and it hasn't crashed since. Unfortunately, I'm playing on a laptop with only 4GB of RAM right now, so I'm having client issues instead. Every time I take care of one...

    Chuck Norris jokes didn't even EXIST nine years ago. ...I miss those days.

    Epic Fail stories

    So I just crashed my server. You know that 64x64 quarry at y level 180 that I've been talking about previously? It FINALLY hit bedrock. At some point, it dug through an underground lake that subsequently filled the quarry with water. So I decided to get rid of the water source blocks to...

    Best mining method?

    I graduated from High School back in 2008, and I distinctly remember that Chuck Norris jokes got stale when I was still in 11th grade. So yeah, six or seven years would be about right.

    Or when you have concerns with someone's grammar.

    Probably the most useful screenshot you could post would be the GUI of the Crafting Monitor the next time it fails to autocraft something. As far as I know the pattern providers and CPUs don't need to be arranged in any specific way except for occupying only the interior space of your...

    What to do in FTB?

    Then build a MFFS security system for your base. Or a frame-powered mining airship. Or a computer to monitor your power system. Or a Factorization system to optimize your ore processing. There are many things you can build that have some purpose. Have you done anything with Thaumcraft? Lots of...

    What to do in FTB?

    Honestly, if you're looking for stuff to do, you need to just stop for a moment and think. What would be the coolest, most awesome thing you could build? It could have a purpose...or not. It could have no purpose besides being cool and fun to build. Don't worry about whether it's possible or...
