    Soo... Why exactly is it impossible to automate a Steam Turbine?

    I'll be honest, I didn't exactly do the math. Now that you mention it, it does put things in a nice perspective...

    Soo... Why exactly is it impossible to automate a Steam Turbine?

    Really? I'll try it, but I doubt it'll work. Maybe DW has another version of Railcraft?

    How do you light your base?

    huh, that is quite useful. Thanks!

    Soo... Why exactly is it impossible to automate a Steam Turbine?

    With the recent popularity of power converters and it's ease of EU generation, there are little incentives to use the turbine anymore for most players. Covert Jaguar probably realized that too since he buffed the power output to 200EU/t - making one HP36 boiler be able to output 400EU/t per...

    How do you light your base?

    What is the range on those magnum torches exactly? is it a radius of 64, making the diameter of the no-spawn zone 128 ish, or is it a 64x64 area around the torch? Also, what about the shape? is it square? There are so little information about this thing...

    Private Pack Trec Ultimate | 1.6.4 | DirewolfBased | Mature Staff | No World Resets | 1 Year Uptime | True 32GB

    I've been playing a couple of hours on this with my brother (okay, time got away from us, it's been half a day already), and it's been a blast. At the absolute most, lag has been a quarter second at most, and it's rare even at that. The community around the server seems awesome so far, with...

    2 Questions about tree breeding

    Back again, did some extensive testing with an Balsa-Apple hybrid. I had no problems breeding a field of default Balsa saplings with the Balsa-Apple sapling, while using Industrious bees in bee houses. However, doing some breeding with Aura bees has yet to yield anything, so i think they may...

    2 Questions about tree breeding

    It SHOULD work that way. Hm. Lemme see if I can figure it out.

    2 Questions about tree breeding

    Allright, let's start with the easy one. I'm assuming you have a bountiful supply of pure applo, slime and balsa saplings. EDIT: Read the note at the end. Rest of the post still applies, but you might want to change some things Start by planting apple oak and balsa. If you are running on the...

    2 Questions about tree breeding

    as I wrote earlier in my way-too-long-to-read post, you got to do it in increments. Start simple, and focus on one trait at a time. What exactly are you trying to make? I can write up a (somewhat) easy step-by-step guide if you want :p EDIT: I'm assuming you want the silver lime for its leaves...

    2 Questions about tree breeding

    Yeah, you're stuck on 2.2.2.0 IIRC. Quite frankly, forestry is my favorite mod, and the amount of stuff added by the updates is the sole reason why I updated :x

    2 Questions about tree breeding

    how did you get the highest sappiness trait there?

    2 Questions about tree breeding

    Highest sappiness attainable is the mahoe, sadly (though 1500mb per saplings isn't bad at all), but check out Balsa for its Triple (Edit: It's called 'High' Saplings these days.) trait. Nothing like getting half a stack or so of saplings from a single small tree :) Now what I am interested in...

    2 Questions about tree breeding

    Do know that hybrids aren't bad at all when it comes to treebreeding, due to the fact that the active traits are the only ones being used to determine the tree characteristics when a sapling grows. All the saplings of the adult tree will be identical to the one you planted as well, as the...

    A moral dilemma - was I right or wrong

    I don't get why this is even an argument. The quarry is obviously placed to mine the stuff below it, and the most of the ore would never have been revealed if not for the quarry; anyone arguing that the ore isn't owned in it's natural state are arguing semantics. People arguing semantics for...

    Mapping tool?

    Actually, I found an online website instead that did exactly what I was looking for. Slightly less of a hassle than it would be installing a mod and then start messing with hotkeys and such: http://www.minecraftworldmap.com/worlds/U3eHd#/212/64/252/-4/0/0 I was actually wrong about the...

    Official FTB seed thread.

    Finally found a seed I really liked. Unleashed Modpack, default mods loaded, large biomes and bonus chest. No biome mod (I prefer vanilla biomes as that is what bees are balanced against, especially for special produce and such). You basically spawn in a massive plains biome next to a...

    Is oil now too rare?

    Yeah, but in the same move they also decreased oil gen in 'certain biomes' that is plains, forest, mountains, etc. The two oil biomes are still just desert or ocean, just with more oil in them, which is part of my point. By the time you have the resources needed to extract the stuff from these...

    Is oil now too rare?

    Of course, that's what i usually do. First steps is all about the charcoal. But oil used to be a reasonable upgrade for early-mid game after you've gotten your first few diamonds and such. Now, you only get access to oil after you've considerably upgraded your logistics, and by that time you...

    Mapping tool?

    So it doesn't work for checking out a map I've already explored? That is, I'd have to explore the map again?
