    Two platinum == Limitless iridium

    Are you crazy? It's still quite easy to get the Iridum for a Matterfabricator, no Platinum + Rich Slag shenanigans needed. Step 1: Take your Jetpack to the End and mine 8 Sheldonite ore. Sheldonite is found in the floating asteroids, usually 2-4 per asteroid, so you may need to check 4-6...

    TickThreading - concurrent entity/tile entity ticks and other optimisations

    We're having a crash with #560 and MindCrack v7 + MystCraft. I have world threading turned off per the wiki, but it still seems to be some sort of issue with Chicken Chunks. I get this exception when patching : I can run the server and it's stable for a while, but eventually crashes...

    Blaze Powered Boilers

    I don't believe a normal Blaze Spawner will keep a 36HP boiler fueled. A tier 5 Blaze shard spawner is sufficient keep 2x 36HP boilers fueled with a slight surplus, though; a tier 4 should keep a single 36 HP boiler fueled if you don't want to go all the way to tier 5. The downside is that you...

    Java 7 Mac Fix

    Just start at the last page and go backwards, if I link to something direct it will get updated eventually and then won't be the latest version anymore...

    How to use the BT Engine as a Pluse Engine

    An interesting concept, but .4 MJ/t is very little power. Truth is the Blulectric engine just isn't very good, it needs rather large solar or wind power farms to keep it running at any kind of useful speed. And instead of building that, you could spend all those resources in building some actual...

    0 Chamber breeder reactor help

    Not that I know of... nothing in MindCrack pack that I could see. Radioactive bees are the only way I know to get a renewable source of Uranium.

    0 Chamber breeder reactor help

    You can just centrifuge a stack of Coal Dust for a Thorium Cell. And you can get infinite Coal Dust from a Blaze grinder. Though you may get more EU directly from the Blaze Rod, I didn't check the math... depends on how efficient your reactor design is.

    Yo dawg, heard you liked java? So we're posting links to a java app on this website for a java app so you can... yeah. And Oracle patched Java already.

    0 Chamber breeder reactor help

    There are much better dedicated Breeder designs. Many of the existing designs floating around are outdated since the Reactor changes in IC2 some versions ago, and especially so if you have GregTech. Here is the a very cheap and simple 0-chamber Thorium breeder, posted by SSD on the IC2 forum...

    Nuclear vs Solar... dafuq?

    So lets see, in 25 hours play, you got 16 Iridium plate for the 8 solar panels, which takes 64 Iridium Ore, which takes 448 UUM. Plus the 48 UUM for the Sunnarium brings us up to 496 UUM. Those cost 16.6M EU per UUM, or over 8 Billion EU total, which you made in 4 sessions of 5 or 6 hours...

    Did you even look at this recipe, much less make one yourself legitimately?

    A Guide To: Running Your Fusion Reaction Indefinitely (1.4.6/1.4.7)

    Did you check all the Scrapbox output recipes? You can see these from the Scrapboxinator UI by clicking the arrow. Tin Dust isn't the only source as you can get various cells from it now. Edit: And powering even 150 recyclers is still MUCH cheaper than generating the Tin with default UUM rates...

    A Guide To: Running Your Fusion Reaction Indefinitely (1.4.6/1.4.7)

    Scrapboxes are a MUCH cheaper source of the needed Tin than UUM.

    Gravel Production?

    Well, he says 'quad wither spawner' in the OP -- it should be OK for that as the coal droprate is not too fast. I never tested with more than 1 spawner though. It may need 2 Rock Crusher. For even a single Blaze grinder would need more than 1 Rock Crusher though. But indeed it takes a lot more...

    Gravel Production?

    Rock Crusher is the best way... it should keep up even with 4 wither spawner, as you need 8 coal per 1 flint and I doubt you're getting 2 coal per second from these spawners.

    How to get Soul Stealing enchant on a Diamond Sword

    The book can only be applied to Vile Swords, you cannot use the anvil to apply it to other types of weapons.

    How to get Soul Stealing enchant on a Diamond Sword

    True, it is more expensive to repair (2 diamonds and ~45 levels for my sword, in the Uncrafting table), however a Diamond Sword has much greater durability, so it will need repairing much less frequently. 2 diamonds aren't that much, and if you have an XP grinder setup the levels only take a few...
