    Tinkers Construct Hatchets

    Ah the fun of cutting out the middle man and going right to charcoal lots and lots of charcoal.

    Tinkers Construct Hatchets

    With the battle axe if you right click you have a charge up jump attack that gives you a short strength, speed, and resistance buff.

    In addition to searching for all connected logs if it detects too many it then swaps over to chopping a 3x3. Which is most noticeable with redwoods and other massive trees.

    How to taint and control tainted areas?

    By default in monster taint biome spread is disabled in the configs so that it cannot convert other biomes to tainted ones. However the surface taint can spread out side said biomes and spawn all the taint creatures.

    Mac Monster won't launch.

    If I am not mistaken Macs are still stuck with Java 6 as they are always a version behind. As for this issue look at this post in the Monster bug thread. It appears that Calclavia compiled Universal Electricity Core 3.0.1.8 with Java 7 and therefor made it required.

    How Do I Obtain The Dagger Of Sacrifice In Magic Farm 2?

    She can change the recipe for the dagger most likely via minetweaker, which is the mod that they are using to edit recipes in the packs.

    Monster and Ore Generation.

    One thing that I noticed is the config for flat bedrock also gimps gascraft's fracking which uses special gas pocket bedrock blocks. That are suppose to be mixed in with the normal bedrock and I've yet to see any so far with the current configs. In addition I looked at the gascraft config and it...

    Problem Help choosing creeperhost server

    I second this as I've had to upgrade my server all the way up to spider as well to handle the 1.6.4 packs, especially monster. Which is currently using 88 to 90 percent of the 3gb you get at that tier even with no one logged in. However the server has yet to crash or have any issues with the 5...

    Server RAM issues

    As long as your not planing on running any of the large 1.6.4 mod packs like monster that should be fine. Back when my own server was running ultimate that was more then enough for about 5 people. However ever since upgrading to monster I've had to upgrade the server all the way up to spider for...

    RAM reccomendation

    Be aware that due the way java works if you add too much ram it can very easily become counter productive as its garbage collection bugs out. Basically from what I've heard it is never a good idea to go over 4gb of ram dedicated to minecraft.

    Will MindCrackers Start Making FTB Videos Again, in the Near Future?

    FTB was great but it proved to be more trouble then it is worth for some of the mindcrackers from what I can tell. As it requires quite the time sink for both learning and building things. Which makes it rather hard to balance time wise with the massive amount of off camera work they need to do...

    Question on world gen and Biomes-o-plenty

    This is from the FAQ on the Biomes O' Plenty page. Basically the BIOMESOP level type adds a bit of custom world gen, like spawning villages and other vanilla structures in the new biomes and making other tweaks. As for "add biomes to default world" to true that is for people that just want...

    Server RAM issues

    With minecraft servers there tends to be 3 different types out their with the many server hosts. 1.) Shared resource - With this server option your game server is hosted along with several other people's servers on the same computer. All of which are competing for the limited resources it...

    Will MindCrackers Start Making FTB Videos Again, in the Near Future?

    If you pay attention in his videos he did build all the GT machines thou mostly off camera as he felt that they did not make for good video. For most of his series he had them all tucked away in the corner of his giant hole in the ground of a base.

    Will MindCrackers Start Making FTB Videos Again, in the Near Future?

    Once the pack is finished and released I do not see why their wouldn't be at least some videos of them playing on it. But will their be a full official mindcrack FTB server again? Well that is still unknown at this time, as Guudes hands are still extremely full currently with being the server...

    Beware the spectral bee's Reanimation effect.

    I second this and personally I rarely go beyond a advanced nano suit for armor as being invincible takes too much out of the game for me.

    How can I figure out what is sucking the power out of my Redstone Energy Cell?

    To me the reason behind the energy drain is to prevent idle engines from over loading due to nothing using the energy they are producing. Which is a feature of a lot of the lower end engines and normally results in the engine shutting down or in other cases exploding. In the past this was...

    How can I figure out what is sucking the power out of my Redstone Energy Cell?

    I think your unaware of what will be happening with TE in 1.6, in that it will no longer use or produce MJ as it is getting its very own power system. Which King lemming is designing due to his desire to no longer break buildcraft and to respect the direction they are taking the mod. Basically...

    How can I figure out what is sucking the power out of my Redstone Energy Cell?

    The whole buildcraft MJ based energy system is intentionally designed to be very wasteful so it is no surprise that your energy cube is draining. As mentioned above most machines that are designed to run on it will passively consume energy even when your not using them.

    TC3 Dull Shards

    That works as well and is basically the same but instead of being natural your forcing it to occur. The way nodes work is that each time one is generated it's info is added to a file to make a map of the nodes which thuamcraft then uses in it's calculations. As a result it does not matter if...
