The Iron Backpacks mod by Gr8pefish (?) sounds like it fits your backpack wishlist. Four different tiers of backpacks with increasing levels of capacity, mod slots to add item/mod type filters, auto-crafting functionality, and even the capability to access nested inventories; backpacks stored...

I thought it might have different effects, like the AppleMilkTea mod has for liquors, teas, juices, and cocktails. Like drinking a flask of brandy would give you nausea, or poison for 10 seconds. Or vodka would give you Slowness, but also Regeneration. Something to make it worthwhile to craft...

After a Coke Oven I usually start accumulating resources for a Blast Furnace. It's slow, but once it's built I just keep it filled with Coal Coke and Iron to make steel. Rolling Mill (frequently found in villages, in the railroad depot building) is easy to make and turns iron or steel into...

What effects do alcoholic drinks have in DW20? I watched a mod spotlight on the machines added by Extra Trees, which include the Woodworker, Panel Worker, etc, and also a set of machines to press fruit, ferment and distill alcohol products. Are these useful in-game, or just an exercise in...

For squid, I cheat a bit; capture squid with a Safari Net and release into the tank. Using the Jailer's Safari Net from MFR keeps them from despawning. I started doing the squid farm when I found out that the MFR Rancher "farms" squid for ink scs, which I find preferable to just killing...

Perhaps I should have called it mid-game flight! I build a portal to the Nether quite early on, even before I've found diamonds. For early game portals I use the pour water over lava system, making a frame of sand or dirt to outline where I want obsidian blocks. I didn't know there was an...

Well, it is National Coffee Day today, which motivated this particular line of research. :)

MC name: Telecomtrzn Age: 52 What is your modded MC experience: Been playing FTB IE for a couple of years, also some of the 3rd-party packs. Prefer the building aspects over the hardcare survival packs. What makes you want to join us: I like the collaborative aspects of problem-solving...

Very nice! Is that dark oak? Spruce? Looks spiffy, the combination of stone and wood. My building buddy made a waterfall door for our base, some careful shaping of the water (channel across the ceiling, channel across the floor) makes a nice flowing water wall you can step through. Okay...

Each world I build in takes a slightly different tack. Sometimes I start with Blood Magic, as it's pretty easy to get to a Sigil of Air (IIRC) that enables inexpensive flight. I tried out Mystcraft once, that was surprisingly easy to get into, although some of the Ages I visited were downright...

The Coke Oven is a great early-game multi-block to build, as it only uses sand and clay (baked into bricks) to make it. The neat thing about it is that it's a multi-block entity, but acts like a single block; you can attach pipes/ducts/hoppers to it like it's a single chest. Attach a liquid...

Schweet! Thanks! Made six more hives last night, and automation here I come! (I know people use Bees for multiple hard-to-get resources, I'm just trying to breed Caffeinated Bees, which make coffee powder, so I can use the milk from the mob farm and make coffee. :cool:)

Totally agree with Pyure's suggestion above. Coke Ovens are almost always what I build right after a Smeltery. Put a hopper/chest combo on it, dump in excess wood, and pull out charcoal - no fuel required. (Also a good step towards a Railcraft Blast Furnace, if you do decide to add some...

A quick EnderIO/Gendustry question, and a follow up to a recent MFR question. Question: If I hook up EnderIO item conduits to Gendustry Apiaries with the Automation upgrades installed, will the conduit pull bees before they're used for the next breeding cycle? I know I can blacklist the...

I've become pretty familiar with the beginning/mid-game cycle, actually I'm least experienced with late-game strategy stuff. Just wanted to suggest another option for your Poor Man's ME System; JABBA barrels. Stack a bunch of barrels somewhere, run item conduit or itemducts along the backside...

I foresee a bunch of people taking another look at Culinary Generators. And JABBA barrels. [With an Emerald-level storage upgrade, each JABBA barrel can hold 5,184 stacks?! 331,766 fish per barrel? Whoah! And each fish is worth 21,620 rf, so that's... a lot. 7,172,997,120 rf per...

That's a great tip, thanks! I have been using the EnderIO pressurized conduit around the base, didn't realize it was so easy to set a filter; I can make some Ender Conduit if needed, but I'll try a simple pipe network first just to extract the XP juice, and another for the liquid brown, send...

For the MFR Sewer block, are there any tips for how to put a liquid filter inline somewhere? I'm using the Sewers under a cow/sheep pasture, and most of the time they work fine, sending the liquid brown stuff down attached pipes to a MFR Composter. But they also collect XP, and every so often I...

Just wanted to let you know I'd followed your suggestion, and the Black Stained Glass is very nice, quite close to what I was shooting for. Still a work in progress (completely underestimated how much glass I'd need to make), but it's coming along nicely. I used the Chisel mod to morph it to...

Screens (multiple or single) are controlled by one unit; the Screen Controller. This box can be hidden away somewhere with a power feed, it's connected wirelessly to the screens. It does take multiple kinds of modules, depending on what you'd like to show on the screens. I'd start with some...
