    [64x] Soartex Fanver - Smooth and Clean FTB

    The FTB (for 1.6.4) download seems to have a new issue where essence berries (from tinkers construct? I think? Or is that natura?) have a corrupted texture. All I know is that of all the berries they have an animated sprite.

    Thermal Expansion 3.0!!! No More Beta! Thanks KL!

    The comparator thing is good to know, thanks for the tip jaded. I fool around with redstone on a vanilla server but I've never really touched comparators...

    Thermal Expansion 3.0!!! No More Beta! Thanks KL!

    last I saw last night it was 4 RF/t IIRC. I've got 5 compression dynamos using liquefacted coal and the rate of fuel consumption is rather low, bearing in mind one bucket of liquid coal is worth a million RF (minus the kinda inconsequential RF cost of pulverizing and melting the coal) or...

    Thermal Expansion 3.0!!! No More Beta! Thanks KL!

    I'm fairly pleased with the steam, magmatic, and compression dynamos so far. Very compact and even though liquefacted coal is less efficient or whatever than BC fuel or doing stuff with steam boilers, I've found it very simple and compact to set up and basically resolve my mid-game power...

    Thermal Expansion 3.0!!! No More Beta! Thanks KL!

    Yeah, I noticed that after I posted. I was really hurting for shiny metal, so I needed the cryotheum to get cinnabar from thaumcraft cinnabar ore because I'm too impatient to get a silk touch pick (which I would otherwise get using infusion enchantment, but you need cobwebs to do that...)

    Thermal Expansion 3.0!!! No More Beta! Thanks KL!

    I'm playing direwolf20 1.0.11 (with thermal expansion 3.0.0.2) and I legit can't find any blizzes at all. Since I've patched the pack since I think direwolf20 1.0.8, should I try and find newly generated taigas in order to get blizzes to spawn? Poking around in this thread seemed to indicate...

    UU-Matter production thread

    Well you don't use any less power when you're using diamond dust compared to scrap or forcicium (at least in ultimate), it just gets consumed at a slower rate. Scrap is easy as hell to make in ultimate so I used that; I simply plopped an igneous extruder on top of a recycler, set the output face...

    UU-Matter production thread

    At the moment (Ultimate 1.1.2), I have two steam turbines (200 total eu/t), 12 or so GT diesel generators (144 eu/t since they're a little easier to manage earlier on), 16-18 GT Thermal generators (~380 eu/t) feeding into a dedicated MFSU and 3 MFEs. The total from the dedicated grid is around...

    Welcome to JohnCo (TM)! (Ultimate 1.1.2 SSP)

    That's another fair point, since I often have 4 or 5 in close proximity they often even have to deal with pathing around each other (another problem being managing markers. Noticed one of my dudes just sitting and staring blankly in the middle of the room once, noticed then he was trying to...

    Welcome to JohnCo (TM)! (Ultimate 1.1.2 SSP)

    Hrrm. That sounds plausible. If I'm not mistaken the things in the area that make sounds are A. the constant operation of forestry tree farms (at this point just the arboretum), B. all them golems idling and making their delightful clinking noises, and C. Golems opening and closing chests...

    Welcome to JohnCo (TM)! (Ultimate 1.1.2 SSP)

    Well I had to take a peek at the wiki just to be sure it was anything but barrels, but no, the only thing from factorization I have are barrels, and not a crazy bonkers amount, nor are they concentrated in the area where my frames drop. Never really used a ton since using perceptive or...

    Welcome to JohnCo (TM)! (Ultimate 1.1.2 SSP)

    Thanks! I'd have more for today, but I've been attempting to do a little bit of FPS-drop hunting. One of the southern chunks in my workshop (since I built it around chunk lines for the purpose of keeping it loaded) causes me to drop from 30-40 to 20 FPS (as you can see I typically play on 32x or...

    Welcome to JohnCo (TM)! (Ultimate 1.1.2 SSP)

    Hey guys! For several months I've been working on an Ultimate 1.1.2 SSP world, which I started when the Ultimate pack was first released. Given that Ultimate is becoming more and more out of date, I decided I really ought to be showing off the fruits of my labor before I get really motivated to...

    best way to get rid of flux

    I'm assuming the OP is using a more recent version of thaumcraft than whats in ultimate 1.1.2 if wisps are attacking villagers and non-combat golems. It might be worth it if he invests in goggles of revealing to see just what kind of node is causing all this trouble, and what kind of wisps are...

    Question About IC2 Energy

    A setup I use: 1 MFSU feeds into 1 MV Transformer (the total throughput for both of these machines is 512 eu/t). 1 MV Transformer feeds into 4 LV transformers (the total throughput for LV transformers is 128 eu/t in packets of 32). This way, if I accidentally connect something to my main...

    5 months, 5 worlds, all crash and burn. Cannot ever get to 'End game'

    Thanks for the advice 3 or so people who gave me it (I just got out of minor surgery sorry that took so long :P) Unfortunately I'm in ultimate 1.1.2 so ender thermic isn't an option, gonna try a thermal generator or two and advanced pump, my nether FPS drops are pretty insane. My first attempt...

    5 months, 5 worlds, all crash and burn. Cannot ever get to 'End game'

    Out of curiosity, since this annoys me in SSP all the time, couldn't someone use a filler loaded with sand to cover up the lava flow blocks that never go away due to nether pump use?

    What have you done in FTB/Modded minecraft today?

    I took 8 screenshots of my 1.1.2 ultimate world (factory, bee stuff, golems, etc) and got called "an insane person" by my friends.

    How do you guys do you power plants?

    Based on my experience with ultimate 1.1.2, I'm likely going to use thaumcraft golems and ender chests in conjunction with Forestry and IC2 for relatively low-output high-volume EU generation and high output high-volume MJ generation in my next world. I spent far too much effort in my current...
