    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Are there any good references to Big Reactors (I think that's the one in Agrarian Skies) that details possible reactor designs etc? What about turbines? are the worthwhile? At this stage I have a reactor with a 3x3 core and no external cooling, it's producing about 2kRT/tick (I think), but I'd...

    AS Hungry Query

    You can eat past the full hunger bar for some foods only, juice from apples/melons/carrots etc (created with a juicer) fill this need. I believe that it will give you the well fed buff.

    Agrarian Skies mid game power

    You can also run compression dynamos with Mob Essence and either Blaze Powder or Gun Powder. Even a smallish mob farm (mine is only one level and 19x19) and it produces a surpless of mob essence (as well as a crap ton of other resources). If you run it with conveyers rather than water, you can...

    Agrarian 'Derp' Skies

    I actually went a step better than that, if you plan it carefully, you can create a tube of cobble all the way down, with careful use of shift and placing ladders, you can then place a block at what would normally be bedrock level.

    Something which sprung to mind with me last night when I was doing a bit of playing, is that luck with loot bags can have a big impact on your play. I don't mean things like getting your hands on a full set of armour or anything like that, I'm talking about the stuff that you can't craft. Spawn...

    Agrarian 'Derp' Skies

    I was attempting to get the cloud blocks last night. Despite me having something like 3 full potion flasks with flight, I decided to try and pillar up to the clouds. Step 1, use about 90 odd vine scaffolding blocks, I didn't have enough vines for more. Step 2, nerd pole with cobble the rest of...

    This isn't just a Agrarian Skies question, how big to people generally build their MAC? I built mine to 5x5x5, and chucked in 9 pattern providers and 18 CPU's. The Iron/Redstone/Gold cost was bearable, it was the 18 diamonds that meant I had to stop half way through (I'm only sifting dust atm).

    Agrarian 'Derp' Skies

    For some reason I like to try and collect everything that I mine up. So I dug up some netherrack that I'd placed for a crucible, went to collect it thinking there was a block below it. Nope, that was the void.

    What's people's method of lava generation/gathering? Normally, I'd use a pump in the nether and an ender tank, but that isn't an option. Crucibles give lava for nothing, but they're slow, I know about magma crucibles and there is an MFR lava generator, but they are expensive in power. At this...

    Isn't there sulfur in the nether? and there is the extra utilities trash can, that's an easy way to get rid of extra crap.

    The first quest is In the beginning, and there a bunch of side quests that I had to complete before any of the others (on the right hand page) would unlock. The quest "The Librarian" requires a book binder, which according to NEI has a single recipe, two pieces of paper and a two string. The...

    I started again on 2.0.3 via the FTB Launcher. In the first quest group, I had to make a book binder before other quests were available. This required paper, which of course requires either cane or wood chips. So, I had to sift out the dirt hoping for some cane seeds, then get them to grow so I...

    OK, two Hells Kitchen quests done (a Melon farm is a good way to get vinegar), but I'm approaching the lettuce one, I don't have lettuce seeds, is this a derp? I'm on 1.0.10 in the FTB launcher so should I update? Even if nothing else, it will mean that I actually get epic loot out of the reward...

    I did it with a mix of TE and AE. You can use two smelteries to do all of the metals, separate them to avoid alloys and there are 9 in total. I have them piping to 9 casting basins that have white listed molten metals, so one for each. Then an AE Import Bus to pull out the completed block of...

    Best rewards gotten in early game Agrarian Skies.

    I got a rain muffler in a greater bag. I was pretty stoked with that.

    You can also add different composting materials to a single barrel, so if you don't have enough leaves to fill it up, add something else to top it off.

    Molten metal help

    If you look in the Mystcraft Config file (minecraft/config/mystcraft/symbols.cfg) depending on the other mods installed, you'll have true/false parameters for what symbols are available. The one for cobalt is B:modmat_tile.metal.molten.cobalt.enabled Any molten metal can be used as a...

    Is it me, or do some people not "get" that FTB and its mods are free ?

    I agree with this comment, criticism does help develop the product as a whole, but all too often, especially with the internet, the criticism becomes toxic. Some people are willing to support the mod and offering suggestions that are valuable and giving valid criticism. But all too often, people...

    MFR Question : Can I do something that will .....

    @ShneekeyTheLost: Well put post. For me, I tend to use CC for bits and pieces to make some pretty basic tasks, or simple ways of speeding up boring tasks. I know that I also have used it to mine obsidian, even with having to type in commands, it's a lot quicker compared to manually mining it...

    MFR Question : Can I do something that will .....

    In most of my games, I tend to use CC pretty heavily early game. I tend to create a mining turtle which I use for several tasks such as mining, building houses etc. However, all of my code I've written myself, but of course, that was a one off cost everytime I build a turtle now, I just pull...
