    Portal fail

    I'm not sure how the tpx command works, but you might be able to teleport yourself to the other age manually?

    Good to know! I learn more every single day..

    Portal fail

    build a portal in the overworld that links to your other portal and send some TNT through. Make sure you go there as well (with nothing but a linkbook on you) so the chunks load. The TNT should be on the other side and you will have been there long enough to load the chunk to destroy the portal.

    Portal Gun mod

    the boots definitely don't replace higher tier IC2 armor, as you are invulnerable with quantum armor. The only thing the portal gun really makes obsolete is the use of enderpearls constantly, which IC2's quantum armor, once again, replaces with superspeed walking and jumping

    When you close FTB Minecraft, make launcher stay open.

    When you launch an instance in MultiMC, it stays on in the background, and when you close Minecraft, you can immediately choose another instance. With FTB, I have to start it back up. Though, maybe the FTB launcher is fundamentally different, but it seems possible.

    Railcraft / Buildcraft big pumping station help (pics)

    Kind of cheap, but you could use one geothermal generator to power 3 electrical engines on 3 different pumps. Give it an initial source of lava and use the pumps own lava to pump it back in. I haven't tested this yet, but you should profit lava, especially if you're using it to power more than...

    IC2 energy control

    It should be noted that after some experimentation, IC2 energy storage blocks' redstone output is a little bugged. It requires a block update for the redstone to change state if the conditions for power emission are met.

    Portal fail

    Have a friend go to the age and destroy the portal, you should be fine then. There isn't a way to make them take time. Be SURE to bring a book to the overworld, or you will be stuck in the age. Also, never make two portals that teleport directly to each other. I made that mistake on a...

    Portal Gun mod

    They're expensive in terms of vanilla. In FTB, however, they're enormously cheap.

    EnderChest

    Enderchests are only good right now if you use them for setups, pumping in and out; that's it.

    When you close FTB Minecraft, make launcher stay open.

    This would be a good idea if you want to switch between packs easily or do a quick restart of the game. Mystcraft currently has a memory leak bug and I have to restart Minecraft every 10-15 'jumps' I am just using MultiMC for now because that has the functionality I'm asking for here.

    Railcraft / Buildcraft big pumping station help (pics)

    Good to know. My setup worked a lot better when I only had one pump running, so that seems to be the case.

    Railcraft / Buildcraft big pumping station help (pics)

    I tried temporarily powering my pumps with two combustion engines each and they still didn't pump. I was standing next to them even though they were chunkloaded, so that's not the issue. I should note that there is a bunch of flowing lava above the 5 blocks of (what i think) sources. Although...

    Railcraft / Buildcraft big pumping station help (pics)

    I have the same problem with mine, so if anyone finds a solution, that would be great. Mine only has one system though, not two. Two pumps powered by 4 redstone engines each in 5 blocks deep lava (tested by diving in with quantum armor on) going to an iron tank that goes to liquid loaders and...

    So whats your favourite Mystcraft age types?

    Glacial Skylands look AMAZING! I want to build a giant castle/town/city there!!

    Redstone Energy Cell

    I don't think he meant that he used 100MJ to power the quarry that fast. Logically, the speed of a quarry would be linearly or even logarithmically proportional to the amount of power it receives. Although I'm not saying it can't be radically proportional; it just wouldn't make a whole lot of...

    Crafting electric circuits

    Use Factorization barrels. They are made literally from 7 logs in a U-shape and a wooden half-slab in the top middle slot. They can store 64 stacks of whatever goes in, but only that item. I use them to store items I acquire in large quantities, while diamond chests for items I acquire in small...

    Windows .exe Why is there no EE3

    Whoops, wrong word there. It allows for such a play style. The Collectors were the most unbalanced machines in the whole game. They produced EMC out of literally nothing, and required no maintenance at all. It's like having a buildcraft quarry run with no need for engines or power of any sort...

    Server Safety

    Forge mod protections will be available. Although it is highly advised to have a whitelisted or private server. Small (10-15 players) servers are much more enjoyable than large ones anyways.

    Enchanting mod tools

    Yep. Advanced Lap pack with 1 million EU storage and you'll get a full inventory before you run out of EU. I even use the mining laser's horizontal beam to aid in shaft mining, and that thing is an EU-guzzling mining tool.
