Yeah, I eventually learned how to use them. But still, every time I set out to lay some pipe I can't remember the names of the box I'm putting my pipe in. I have to look up Redpower and get a list just to remember that the block that does X is called Y, then I can find the recipe. Just a...

When I was getting started with FTB one of the things totally new to me and difficult to comprehend was item distribution and moving things from one container to another. Buildcraft pipes were where I started, but they are fairly simple when compared to Redpower (I seriously still cannot...

Unless you're using the Ultimate pack and Greg badtouched jungle wood in the naughty, no. The vanilla woods all work exactly the same last time I used them, with the exception of jungle wood being able to support cocoa. You can sawmill jungle wood for 6 planks just like oak, and both work...

I have no idea what you're talking about. I used books to add enchantments to my tools. That's far from being an exploit.

No I updated to 1.4.7.42. It's a secret update that some mice put together.

I'm guessing 'Nig is right - those blutric engines use as much power as they get up to a limit, so most of the time they aren't giving you 30 MJ/t. Not entirely obsolete. The conduits suffer a flat 5% energy loss, so if you only need to push the energy a couple of blocks it's more efficient to...

My diamond drill has fortune 3. o_O

I do too! Lately I've been making roads out of redrock cobble slabs. They don't make you faster, but they look cool next to grass and they don't block light properly, so a j-o-l under every 6th slab lights up the road beautifully, and without any visible lights. Also, as soon as I saw the MFR...

Oh, I was just trying to be funny. :D I'd like to know the answer too.

Yeah, that's pretty cool! If it never needed to be replaced I'd use it. That's one of the reasons I love Thaumcraft. I'd rather spend weeks trying to get half a dozen tools from Thaumcraft enchanted with repair/charging than to keep remaking damaged tools. Yeah, I know there's little sense in...

That's great! You could have the arc of the jump end with you being stopped by a wall, just below an arcane levitator to negate the falling damage. I gotta do this!

I don't have a "usual" way to do it. Lately my buildings have been above-ground and built for aesthetics with 1 block thick walls, all the infrastructure running from the ground up to the machines. The floor is 3 thick with a big empty room underneath and most of the piping exposed, but I'm only...

The only thing I don't like about Tinker's is that it focuses so much on tools that I'd rather not use. I won't go back from using a mining drill that never needs to be replaced and works as a combo pick/shovel. You know how you felt when you first started and got your first iron pick, then...

With an apiary.

Make some concentrated compound, added by Thaumic Bees (so it requires vis, aspects, etc), out of your apetite to double the yield. It's so cheap to make you should do that with all the apetite you ever get.

Doop-de-do

I might as well add this. It's the farm plan I have for my golems. The black square in the center is a chest set into the ground. I'm fixin to change that to an ender chest so I don't have to hassle with these guys. Two wood golems do the rounds. Since the straw golem has to be intelligent...

I almost always start at the top, sickle off the leaves, then cut down the wood - so far my average sapling drop rate hovers around .9 per tree after quite a few dozen trees, the same as when I used to stand around like a mook waiting on it to decay without my help. Just as anecdotally worthless...

Another really great way to mine is the mining laser (srsly? I'm the first to mention it?). Get yourself close to bedrock, set it to long-range, and point up. If you run into low lava block it off and try somewhere else, or if it's high enough build a quick catch for it so it's not a mess. If...

When did the Baltimore Ravens relocate to Oz? Man, I can't seem to keep up with anything.
