I've been spending more time on my magic world than on my industrial world lately. I went caving and discovered a massive mineshaft that lead to a zombie dungeon and several large subterranean ravines. The mineshaft's chest carts didn't really have anything useful in them, but I did find a...

At this point, very sure because I've watched the arrow travel from my bow, hit the mob and then stick into the ground. There were no skeletons around at the time. I guess I'll just have to keep toying with it.

What strikes me as odd is that I haven't lost any (except for one, I'm at 39/40 total) of the arrows I've fired. These uncollectable versions seem to be arrows that bounced when it hit a mob.

I've been using arrows and a shortbow from Tinker's construct and there are now uncollectable arrows littering the ground around my base. Will those eventually be cleaned up by some process, or is there something I can do to clean them up?

I never really I never worried about things spawning i my oreberry room since the oreberry bushes will damage mobs. Not only do you get metals, but an oreberry room can function as a low yield/consistency mob grinder. It's not that great, but I got enough enderpearls to fill a tesseract or...

Feather fletching is comparable in accuracy, but lighter by .08. I'm not certain if it's all that useful, a cursory test and they seem to travel roughly the same distance.

I think one of the biggest benefits to logistics pipes are the logistics chassis. Instead of having to wire up an importer and an exporter you can just use one pipe that can handle both (more than that actually, iirc the highest tier chassis goes up to 8 seperate modules.) Coupled with a...

In 1.4.7 I used a combination of rp2 inverted lamps, xycraft lamps and nitor for my main areas. Staircases that ran to bedrock would be illuminated with glass encased lava fall in the central column. Jack o' Lanterns would function as a stand-in for glowstone/lamps before I have access to...

Just finished testing a harvester out on oreberries and they work. There's no need to fiddle with any of the settings eithers.

I liked Xycraft and I'd love to get it back into my game. The decorative blocks, if not overdone, could really add to a build, and I miss it's inverted lights.

You are not free to redistribute or reverse engineer a windows os because it takes money to develop from nothing. If competitor reverse engineers the os they can undercut Microsoft because they don't have to recover as much money before they turn a profit. You are talking about businesses and...

Unfortunetly (In my opinion), the new mystcraft system kind of forces you into trading with villagers in order to get emeralds so you can trade with the npc for pages. This will mean plenty of sheep, wheat, and a villager spawn construction of some sort since vanilla villagers have a limited...

Personally, it's not a question of being magical. A lot of work went into it, and it does a lot of cool things and it would just be a pity to have all that axed. It's even worse because there is a way to prevent that, the will and resources are out there. I think that the business world and...

Edit: Apologies, this seems to be a little behind, typed out a response. Had to take care of something, and more time passed than I thought. I know I've written about this before, and I'm liable to sound like a broken record, but I haven't seen any other modding community (I've been a part of...

It gets better. I just remembered they retain their charge after being broken so it can be transported around. Redstone energy cells for vis basically.

Hopefully we'll see thaumcraft updated in the packs soon. Crystal capacitors were added, and they can store excess vis, and release it when needed.

I've been using this design for a 3x3 piston door because I like the spiral pattern on opening and closing. I tried using redpower to accomplish some things but I ran into issues with it. The double piston extender wouldn't function if a redpower circuit was used as an input. I ended up...

I've switched over to Steve's carts for trees and for wheat. It's just a matter of personal preference, right now I don't see orchard or crop farms providing enough benefit for me to actually want to use it. I try to avoid situations where you have an overabundance of something (this case...

The only aspect of these new multiblock farms that kind of turns me away is the fact that they require fertilizer from apatite. I prefer being able to construct a closed loop since farms normally serve as a basis for power generation.

Yes, you can argue that it worked well; however, punishing users for a disagreement between devs rubs me the wrong way. They may have no knowledge of any sort of fight or whatever, and it's their worlds that are getting destroyed. Self-termination/uninstallation or depricating features into...
