    Question about liquid tesseracts

    This is wrong. Liquid tesseracts have NO output limit as far as I am aware. It's certainly far higher than 1 bucket a tick.

    FTB Mod Discussion: Greg-Tech

    A) The whole point of using a modpack is to have a solid defined set of mods that everyone on the server can use with minimal to zero setup time. Just download and go. When you have to start mucking around with configs and uninstalling mods to get the modpack to play correctly, you have a...

    MiscPeripheral + Applied Energistics @ ME Bridge

    OP, try putting a "".. in front of id. So it's like (""..id.." : "..amount). What's probably happening, not 100% sure about lua, but it happens in other languages, is that the concatenation operator takes it's functionality from the argument to the left of the operator. In languages where this...

    FTB Mod Discussion: Greg-Tech

    Not a huge fan of Gregtech honestly. It's nice that he's added more stuff to IC2, but it's tied so much into a generally shitty design philosophy that it ends up being more of a hindrance than a benefit. Here's what I mean. Gregtech has a very specific design plan for how people should...

    Power Converters complaining thread

    I like PowerConverters. I like to build large and complex systems myself, but I don't generally see the power conversion aspect of them to be integral to the build and actually, having the power conversion portion stream-lined lets me do more and be more creative with the rest of the build...

    yeah, forestry pumpkin farms are dead. Switch to golems.

    Bee question to the experts

    It is, but you have to watch it, cause drones have a tendency to unstack if you pump them in with BC pipes. And they don't stack up when they enter the indexer like you'd think they should.

    Tracking down Meadows and Forest Bees

    Wintry bees actually have max fertility. The reason people suggest Forest/Meadows is because the industrious branch and the imperial branch of bees, as well as the common and cultivated bees you need to get up to them all require normal humidity and normal temperature. Wintry bees require an...

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    The weird thing is, I can see where the designers planned for nuclear reactors to fill that mid-range role. Putting out a few hundred EU per tick in a single generator isn't actually a bad design plan. The problem is that they then made the cost too high for the EU it put out. For example, if a...

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    Well yeah, the basic problem with IC2 power is that they keep making reactors suck balls. Reactors were bad enough back in the days of CASUC style ice pumping, but then they nerfed even that. And the amount of copper/tin needed to make quad cells and all the new heat vents and such is just...

    Bee question to the experts

    Yeah, the way mutations work is that a mutation is basically a hybrid that transforms into the new species. So to get a Majestic mutation, you actually got a "noble/cultivated" hybrid, but the game rolled some dice and decided to make it a Majestic. If you check the wiki and find the mutation...

    Bee question to the experts

    I doubt that is the case. Sure, the traits are calculated at breeding, but the mutation is calculated at death. Mutation is simply a chance for a hybrid to become something else.

    Bee question to the experts

    Match the forest winter princess with the 4x 4x forest winter drone. You'll have a one-in-four chance of getting the 4x/4x Forest/Forest princess you want. If you fail, try again to get that same breeding pair and save any 4x 4x forest or forest/winter drones you get. You can see why running...

    Bee question to the experts

    1. Soul frames are JUST for mutating new species. Do not use them if you are trying to breed specific traits. 2. Your mistake was in breeding the winter/forest hybrid with forest/forest drones. At that stage you ought to have bred it with a 4x 4x winter/forest hybrid drone. See, the way the...

    Bee question to the experts

    1. Make sure you analyze every single bee you put into an apiary. It looks like you aren't, and that's why you keep getting fucked. 2. ONLY use pure bees to try for a mutation. If you get a Noble/Majestic drone for example, don't put it with a Cultivated/Noble to try and get another majestic...

    Best mining method?

    Oh man, the deep mining laser is going to be fucking EPIC. All we need now is an end-game source of MJ. Something that puts out a couple hundred MJ without taking up an entire chunk of space would be nice.

    How to work an IC2 Energy-O-Mat (Direwolf20 pack)

    Ah, interesting. I don't actually know anyone who uses those. Disregard my post.
