    Soul Shards 2

    Do you have gregtech installed? I thought that that mod prevented you from breaking spwaners.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Have you chunkloaded the area? I have been having problems with IC2 recently with(I think) machines getting unloaded and refusing to connect(when reloaded) with other machines including some MFR stuff I had powered by a nuke. I had to break and replace everything involved to get it all sorted...

    Your take on unique ways of generating power (Direwolf20)

    hmm, well everyone seems to have covered most of my usual stuff, what with the blood magic shenanigans. The only other weird power setups I go for use factorization solar boilers (a boiler with mirrors around it) to generate steam to power whatever mod I want. I liked this before I got into...

    EU/t cables won't connect

    Have you tried replacing the AE stuff? Sometimes things get derpy with IC2Exp, even mods that are bloody designed to work with it (like dartcraft) don't connect properly. Hell sometimes IC2 doesn't connect properly and needs a bit of wrenching and replacing to get it all sorted. Also it's not...

    IC2 Metal Former

    Well, I would definitely look to see if the recipes get listed in the machine, Usually clicking on the progress arrow will list out all the things that the machine can make although I don't remember if the metal former is one. Off the top of my head: ingots -> uninsulated wires of all types...

    What's new in modded minecraft today?

    Happy days! I thought you weren't going to give any documentation on that process. Not that I am complaining. Also essentia and aurum? You mean essentia other than aurum or is aurum going to be something else? I am definitely going to have to play with this when I update my game again.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Unfortunately the wither doesn't just blast blocks it removes them via a special process. The warded blocks, 8x compressed cobble and any of the other wither proof stuff is specially coded to prevent the wither from removing it. If you really don't want to do research again you can always...

    Big decision time... Start again without Biomes O Plenty?

    1) this is vanilla minecraft's fault, although I think they are working on it, if you want terrain that makes sense try ATG although it is not in DW20. 2)I don't remember if the deep oceans are BoP or another mod like mariculture, the abysal stone is railcraft's. 3)can't help with the ravines...

    Fastest way to charge blood orbs? [Blood Magic]

    You the altar does not need to be kept full when charging an orb, the orbs will just take any LP available in the altar and never complain.

    Tinkers construct has the cleaver like @trajing said with the beheading enchant. If you don't want to make a cleaver (it swings slowly but does lots of damage) you can apply the beheading modifier to any weapon in tinkers construct with an enderpearl and obsidian. check your 'materials and...

    Laser Drills: benefits and downfalls?

    I'll grant you the 'rare ores' thing even though we can set up several types of mining in the nether now. However I don't understand the 'it powers itself' thing. Are you not able to run a quarry off a big reactor powered by what the quarry pulls up? I mean I can kinda see that without...

    What first? Ars Magica or Thaumcraft

    <.< >.> Blood magic. But seriously of the two mentioned I personally prefer thaumcraft especially version 4.1. Research is a bit simpler, the entry is a bit smoother (you only need any 2 shards instead of one each). Plus golems are a barrel of fun to watch run around and get stuck on...

    Laser Drills: benefits and downfalls?

    Like I said i think it is a bias against creating resources from nothing. I mean look at bees, you either get 1/4 an ingot per comb with Extra bees metalic or 1/9 with magic bees metalic lines. They both require a lot of time and effort to actually get even with gendustry which makes breeding...

    What is the best method to craft unstable ingots at the moment ???

    I found my uncrafting tables in the hollow hills, I think they were in the medium sized hills although it might have come from a big one. Also if you are drowning in diamonds can't you create a stable unstable ingot with gold nuggets (they turn into unstable nuggets so it's 9 diamonds/ingot)

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Well probably not the 'best' out there but you get a bit better than double if you go the fortune + Smelting route. Plus you don't need any additional infrastructure to process the ores when you get them back to base. It is really nice for people with a more nomadic playstile or someone who...

    How long until you get bored on a new world?

    Sounds like someone needs to play Dwarf Fortress instead of minecraft. <whistles innocently while covering signature>

    Laser Drills: benefits and downfalls?

    I'm with Miguk, The only reason I can see to ban the Laser drill is because it requires massive power which can lead to large builds which can strain servers. Also some people just don't like the idea of resources from nothing no matter how little you get or how much infrastructure is behind...

    How long until you get bored on a new world?

    Generally i restart a world when either it gets corrupted and recovering would be equivalent to restarting or when I goof up and for example that nuclear generator in the basement has a bad day and levels my base. I don't usually get to the infinite resources/power stage in my builds. At least...

    Best road ?

    oh gods, make the puns stop. And on the piston roads, I built one ages ago, built a piston elevator too. Shortly before I ripped the sound card out of my machine and took it to the local church to bathe in holy water. It's loud is the point I am trying to make here. Very loud. Line the...

    The Thaumcraft 4.1 Experience

    ... I hate you. Although I guess I should have tested this before now. And here I was all excited about darcraft's armor allowing you to harvest bees with your fists. Now the question is, does fortune/TC equivalent aid in bee collecting?
