If you have Mystcraft installed, you can use it to find nodes to destroy. A nice flat age that doesn't spawn monsters and you'll find nodes all over. And some of the ages can spawn Thaumcraft dungeons or altars as well for even more nodes (and chests).

Also sometimes in the chest in the libraries are notebooks. Those now contain (at least in Monster) pages as well. I usually just pick a direction and head that way for several tens of thousands of block, until I have a LOT of pages in a notebook. One other thing, though it might have been...

A few things. Autonomous Activators do not pick up items destroyed by a Hammer. So you have to gather gravel from a cobblestone generator you need a vacuum hopper (much later in the game) or pick them up every so often. And yes, hammers DO loose durability in one. Activators do work with a...

Has anyone played with the new tubes yet? Do they allow at least some form of automatic piping?

I sometimes like powering an MFR Bioreactor with a IC2 crops setup. One +6 upgrade in a Harvester, making a 15x15 field divided into nine section, and no need for a Planter to feed eight Biogenerators. I also enjoy some of the little-mentioned parts of Dartcraft, such as the Force Furnace and...

Currently playing Monster 1.0.10. A version or two ago I tried using a MFR Harvester on a Natura Bloodwood tree. It worked fine, in reverse. Trimming the leaves downwards then cutting the wood upwards. I just rebuilt that in the current version of Monster. The Harvester now only harvests...

From what I've read in other threads, it was mainly done to counter lag. If you had enough jars with tubes leading to them it caused a lot of lag.

Not too OP, but it turns out that MFR Harvesters can cut trees downwards. A single Natura bloodwood sapling grows into a large 2x2 tree, but downwards. Using Thermal Expansion's Autonomous Activator, pointed down, to plant the saplings onto a soulsand block you can get an easy method of...

Magic Farm 2 is the current tough modpack. You WILL die a lot until you get built up, which takes a while.

The problem here is that the entire mod depends on research. You can't use the mod without having to do the time-consuming and now boring research every time you restart. It's an improvement over the previous version, but it's still annoying when you've done it several times already.

I don't know the exact reason, but it's due to some conflict between mods. Sometimes you get the wrong result in recipes. And other times two items seem to share the same ID without causing an ID conflict, causing only one of the items to show up. In the first case you get what you...

Except that requires more items in the mod. And TiC already has a large amount of items. The more bloated each mod is, the slower the game loads and/or runs. Not to mention item IDs that need to be worked with in mod packs.

Spring salad is easy to make (lettuce and one other vegetable) but it wasn't a full meal. At least in MF1, where I last used it.

I've done those. I've also tried rice soup. One other plant like corn to make three stock, and one rice for a good meal.

I don't think you can upgrade your flint pick. Last time I tried you needed the entire pick made out of metal. You can upgrade it from there though.

The chance of a second seed dropping is currently set to zero in the config. Part of the Magical Crops config is both the option of a second seed being able to drop, and the chance of it happening.

I like the mod. Even out of Magic Farm it makes farming more interesting. I especially like using it to make candles instead of torches. Not that the candles are all that pretty, but it's a nice way to make light without wood.

The most interesting thing I've had happen is an eternal-snow age with lots of completely dry lakes. That I eventually discovered were filled with steam (up up and away!).

I believe the chance varies depending on the species. There rarer the species, the greater the chance of getting a pristine. I think the bees from the End are at 100%.

IC2 Crops produce red, yellow, brown (cocoa beans, slowest growing), black (ink sacs), purple, and cyan dyes. Though only red, yellow, and brown can be produced without working with the RNG, due to the random nature of crossbreeding. They do work with a MFR Harvester. Crops can't be...
