Yeah, I set up a dark room with a grinder, which I heard killing bats when I was placing the 504 skulls I used to stabilize my infusion altar. I still haven't gotten any wool of bat from it (I'm guessing the grinder doesn't drop them), but I disabled the grinder for a while and caught one in a...

Yeah, I'm using logistics pipes pumping into a drawer controller with a polymorphic item sink, and if the aluminum happens to be the wrong type it ends up in a chest. I suppose I can try adding an ore dic item sink as well and see if that fixes it. It's just annoying that it keeps switching...

Sigh. It seems like every time I start I switch between getting Tinkers' Construct Aluminum and Immersive Engineering Aluminum out of my Redstone Furnace. I don't suppose anyone knows a way to combat this? I tried the Unifier, and it doesn't seem to be functioning (at least for the Aluminum...

Can't you set the side it ejects to by right clicking (or maybe shift right clicking, it's been ages) on the side of a block? Edit: Agh, ninja'ed!

It also doesn't count as bedrock for MFR Laser Drills, as I found out to my dismay a while ago after I'd set up 16 of them. Needless to say, a short trip in creative folllowed where all the bedrock was destroyed so my laser drills would function.

I figured out the bait. Oddly, the only way it would let me set it down was into a block of water (which would make sense for squids, but not pigs or wolves.) I got a wolf that was a baby, so I moved it into a pen until it matured and went and worked on something else, and it despawned. So I...

For some reason I was under the impression that bottom slabs wouldn't burn, so when I was starting my IE Skyblock I built my cobble gen with wood slabs. Imagine my surprise when I turned around because I heard the fire noise, and half my platform had burned away...

Anyone have any tips on getting tongue of dog and wool of bat? I have no idea how the Ex Compressum bait is used, but I imagine I can somehow use it to get a dog to spawn, correct? Does a grinder kill bats and produce wool of bat? I've never used Witchery before, but I've always had a decent...

As for the flowers...RNG is RNG. I had to try 40-50 times to get some of my seeds. The lighting thing...I've got the same problem with my Assemblers. They have torches near them (they're in my basement) but they look like they're in the dark.

My only complaint with Ender IO tree farms is that they only have 4 sections. I've got a 9X9 MFR tree farm running right now farming 7 different kinds of trees (all the sapling types for Witchery plus rubber, I may end up adding Dark Oak if my current supply runs out, as I prefer it for drawers...

It's a keybinding in the NEI options that shows what inventories contain the item you had your cursor over when you hit 't'. As far as I know, you have to actually rebind it, you can't just clear it out by hitting ESC like you can normal keybindings.

Ah. Well, that was the first runic altar crafting I've done in a while (well, except for making the runes, obviously), so I was unaware of that change. Will certainly make getting higher tier runes less of a pain.

So...I'm making a runic matrix currently, and it's taking over half an hour to do the infusion using a standard mana spreader. This wouldn't be a big deal, but I didn't realize how long it would take and I'm not sure what happens to a runic altar craft if you exit the game (single player) while...

I'm currently working on Botania to get some Agricarnations going. I know the sprinklers have apparently been improved in terms of optimizations, but with everything I've got going on, I've already lost ~30 FPS from when I started (which granted, only drops me to 90.)

They also produce much more slowly. My 10/10/10 quartz seeds produce 4 quartz per harvest, but they grow really slowly despite being 10/10/10. I've already filled drawers with pumpkins, potatoes and netherwart, but I've only gained maybe 100 quartz.

Sadly, I don't, as I've never set up an IC2 reactor. It's on my to do list (I'm playing the Infinity Evolved Skyblock at the moment) but I'm going to have to do some research before I do so. I only know how little power they put out from watching videos and comparing to the amount of EU I was...

Well, IC2 nuclear reactor is certainly a possibility, but the power they generate isn't that great (although actively cooled ones can generate decent power, as I understand it, but they're fairly dangerous.) You're going to need one eventually (because you need plutonium for crafting) so if...

Well, the QED is pretty darn difficult to craft, especially when you don't have much power gen going. Easiest is to spam culinaries until you can make the QED and then start condensing them. Probably second easiest is HP boilers running Steam Dynamos upgraded to 8X power (I like to pull some...

I'm trying to decide if I should sift crushed endstone or not. It has 3.5 times the droprate for draconium as crushed netherrack, but doesn't provide anything else useful. Granted, all crushed netherrack gives besides draconium is cobalt, ardite, and mithril (mana-infused) and I shouldn't need...

Honestly, I like bees for things that are hard to automate otherwise. I particularly like them for ghast tears and emeralds (until I started Infinity Expert mode today, nothing had died in my smeltery that didn't spawn there.) Admittedly, without Gendustry I'm not a huge fan, because wait and...
