    Wicked Fast Tree Farm Design (ideas)

    does dw pack include openblocks? if it does, the block detector can be used to detect specifically for wood logs. once its there, run a redstone line to the autonomous activator and have it only chop when redstone signal is present. use vacuum hoppers (also from openblocks) to collect all the...

    Clever applications for Computercraft turtles and computers?

    1) using a turtle to build an entire tree farm. base, water trap, glass walls, everything. then have the turtle manage the farm, scan for trees to fell as they grow, replant, etc. 2) using a computer to manage BigReactor turbine rpms (latest version allows for power coil control, letting the...

    Another "help needed with FPS" post

    sometimes this works...try giving java higher cpu priority. open task manager, locate the java process (the one eating all your cpu and ram) right click, set priority, high. do *not* do realtime unless you want to burn your house, hamsters, billy goats and that epic elvis presley LP collection...

    Is there a way to make a perfect dome reasonably fast?

    can you use worldedit? i believe that has commands to build many shapes in game, including spheres/domes. unfortunately, it is a creative mode tool, i dont know how well it would work in a survival environment. i would highly recommend making backups of your world before using it as well, ive...

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    the awesomeness of logistics pipes and magical crops. takes almost nothing to set up a proper system to do autocrafting, crop management, on demand crafting instead of prestored/mass storage/auto level management... i now do what i call 'multicrops' where, with only 1 planter and harvester, i...

    openperipherals pullItem/pushItem returning nill, always

    yep. works fine with a chest. and i can insert items into the arcane table, and remove the wand. but i cannot remove items once placed, and even tho the output item shows in the output slot (both in gui and in getAllStacks()) i cannot remove them with pushItem. im thinking the turtle needs to...

    openperipherals pullItem/pushItem returning nill, always

    this is driving me really crazy. all I am doing is putting a narcissistic turtle over an arcane table, and trying to grab the output item table = peripheral.wrap("bottom") table.push("up",10,1,1) -- should push output item "up" into the turtle, into first inventory slot i can get the...

    I'm sure there is a more futuristic way for putting text on walls....

    drop a computercraft computer somewhere, make a wall of monitor blocks where one of the monitor blocks shares a face on the computer, and do something like this: term.write("hello world!") save that to "hello" and launch it with: monitor <side> hello where <side> is the face of the...

    fantasy drilling platform

    offshore drilling rig, fantasy magical tower, i dunno what to call this thing. i just got silly with it and out comes this piece of art link to photo album: https://plus.google.com/photos/107919704829857169357/albums/6037617060971497601?banner=pwa basic run of it: the top ring is a bunch of...

    im a bit confused with mffs here...

    it works...as long as you use the same exact block used to mark the custom field shape. without that, it does nothing...kinda counter productive to how the other mods work (they dont care what blocks are in the chest) but...its going. thanks for the help as always ;)

    im a bit confused with mffs here...

    there is no redstone block button...this is the projector..not the manipulator. read above: wow. thats a nasty bug...i switched the frequency on the projector, and it crashed the game, also taking the map with it. i'm getting a chunk load error in the crash report. thats a bit harsh for a...

    im a bit confused with mffs here...

    back in direwolf20's lets play (i think s6, e65 and 66), he sets up a way to spawn wither bosses with a force field projector. im trying to do the same exact thing....and nothing happens. coercion driver hooked up to plenty of RF power...check fortron capacitor receiving energy from...

    Wondering what an item is

    a few of the 1.6.4 packs include a set of mods called project red, which duplicate most of the logic/wiring/lighting aspects of redpower. the only things you will miss is the redpower machines, frames, and the sorting stuff rp had. but most of that can be had very easily with logistics pipes...

    any reason why the launcher requires internet to launch a pack now?

    i know you need a connection to validate your account...thats fine. but after that is done, it should work regardless if you have internet or not. past versions of the launcher would vomit a popup on you saying minecraft servers were down, and you could at least play offline. now that doesnt...

    gui automation?

    i remember a week or so ago, there was word of a mod floating around that could simulate opening a blocks gui and simulating clicks on it...useful for automating tasks that could only be done via a gui...anyone know what that mod was called?

    FPS (frames per second) improvement

    then it might be networking...i dont know what to say here because...i run single player most of the time, hence the sever chopping up of the modpack to make it tolerable for me. a lot of the mods do send a bit of data back and forth between server and client

    FPS (frames per second) improvement

    running ftb on a laptop, i can definitely say there are a few things that will help: 1) ram. dedicate more to mc if you got it. 4 gigs is a good amount 2) cpu. mc is very, very, VERY cpu dependent. the faster your cpu can twiddle those bits, the more stuff java and mc can do. graphics cards...

    Sotrage/Sorting

    remember, you can mix LP and AE =) just had a fun time playing with a crazy tc factory build and let me tell you...that gets crazy complicated, really fast. and you get to see stuff fly around your head ;)
