Shift-right-clicking your crucible isn't strictly necessary, but if there's a transmutation recipe for the aspects you've put into it, your aspects will be consumed to produce that item before they make it into any attached alembics. So, if you're trying to extract Metallum and Praecantatio out...

Yeah, I take that back now that I've tried actually building and running a dragon egg energy siphon... I don't use a lot of wood in my buildings, but I do have a few golems working for me, and they've been getting repeatedly killed by flux lightning. Seems like flux is kinda like ghasts, in that...

Warded straw and wood golems sure would be nice, since mine keep getting specifically targeted and killed by flux lightning. >:(

From what I've been able to determine, yield affects the number of fruits/nuts dropped per leaf block (may only apply to apples and cocoa beans), and sappiness affects the rate at which fruits/nuts ripen (may only apply to cherries, walnuts, and chestnuts). If your chestnut trees don't already...

Assuming you're trying to avoid getting struck by flux lightning, I've found that it actually has no problem going right through the bedrock and netherrack on top of the nether. I was doing some flux farming in the nether a while back, and the lightning had no trouble finding me right after I...

Episode 84: Item Routere

SSD is totally the way to go. You'll be amazed at the difference it makes for everyday computing. The difference for Minecraft isn't as dramatic, but it definitely helps.

Yeah, explosions make no sense, but what you're seeing doesn't either :-) Haven't heard of or encountered any chunk reset bugs with any of those items, though I've never used an ender tank myself. If it were me, I'd try to isolate it to a single item (replace your ender tank with a liquid...

A common problem some players run into is building with nether brick double slab blocks instead of actual nether bricks. As I recall, if you're in creative mode or getting the blocks via NEI, the double slab block shows up first when you search. If you're playing survival normally it'd be pretty...

If I'm remembering right, the hard MPS recipes use a lot of advanced GregTech components. Easy mistake to make!

How odd. Is there a chunk boundary where it's cut off? Not sure what you'd do with that info, but it might give you some idea of the nature of the problem (whether you should suspect explosions or something like that, or your chunk getting obliterated). If you're using an energy tesseract to...

For me, this sort of choice is what makes a game interesting. If you have just one ultimate do-everything item, all of the other items get ignored entirely. At best, you'll craft them once while you're collecting materials for the ultimate thingy, either to wear temporarily or to use as a...

Mind if I tack one on here? Add metal nuggets and blocks to lexicon.whitelist by default (nuggetCopper, nuggetIron, blockSteel, etc.) The nuggets are particularly useful for Thaumcraft, since they would allow you can to get 9 metallum out of an iron ingot instead of 8, if it's the right type.

Neat. Guess that all trims my list down to the quick-drawing bow and player decoy. I'll have to install some of the mods you guys have mentioned and try them out...

I keep a list of this sort of thing in case I ever get around to finishing the mod I started ages ago and want to add them. Here are a few items from it: - Opaque non-solid blocks - A quicker-drawing bow (whether an entirely new item made from more expensive materials, or an enchantment for the...

2 is definitely the correct number. The entire structure is 3 tall, but the totems have an air block on top of them at the level of the crystal core.

Looks right to me. You're clicking the crystal core, not the totems, right? Wand has >= 300 vis? Both the bottom and top blocks of each pillar are Obsidian Totem, with no Obsidian Tiles in the mix? Does the wand make a sound when you click it?
