    Unleashed 1.1.3 to 1.1.4 ?

    you may loose some items from the BOP mod if you had it enabled in your world. the main difference between 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 is that 1.1.4 has a newer version of BOP, and buildcraft. No ID changes, so buildcraft is still fine, altho you need to go over your power lines to ensure that they have the...

    What is the best Tinker's Construct Material should I use for the Tconstruct Bows

    Green slime rods is the optimal rod type for making the bow as far as bow power goes. combine a green slime rod with a thaumium one and an enchanted string for extra modifier slots, but appart from that. green slime all the way. as for the arrows. it's slime rods all the way. feather fletching...

    Never Underestimate Small Boilers!

    Also, in case of a cold shutdown of the energy network. getting your renewable fuel source back up and running is a lot easier with a small boiler for kickstarting everything rather than having to fire up a large 36HP monster. I rarely use the 1LP one tho. i tend to prefer a 8 LP solid fueled...

    Tinkers Construct smeltery questions.

    you fix that by putting a vanilla hopper between the extruder and controller.

    So what are the best TC tools these days?

    that alone is reason enough to at least make and use one during a playthrough. I've been trying out the battleaxe some, and it seems to me that the AOE of the scythe is better than the battleaxe. they are at least different. the scythe seems to fare a lot better when swarmed by small enemies...

    Do not use ender tanks/chests!

    yes.. it's called a batch file. open up a plain text editor (like Edit) make a file, call it mcbackup.bat (the .bat bit is important. it's icon should change to a black one with a C:/ in it. showing that it is a command script. here is what you put in it: copy "insert full path to the...

    Tinkers Construct smeltery questions.

    you need to make aluminum brass for casts. use the black book you got from making the bricks. the recipe is there. each ingot worth of aluminum brass is enough for a single cast. i recomend making a pickaxe head and ingot cast first. the casts are made by putting one (stone or wood for cheapness...

    Doing some research in the newest IC2_Exp build[138]

    The new system is not done yet, so the only option of getting to know anything outside of knowing the devs personally is through installing and fooling around with the experimental builds on github. even then, i suspect that we aren't even close to seeing how it is all going to turn out in the...

    Doing some research in the newest IC2_Exp build[138]

    Then we are in 100% agreement. I personally don't mind explody machines so much as long as it's not impossible to make them stable. (re combustion engines cooled down with bc pumps ugh) So having config options to tweak for that kind of stuff would be really nice.

    can i shorten this wallO'text inc. post down to a simple: Can haz config plz? (got to make a suitable cat picture for that one of these days)

    Tinker Construct - Best Weapon (not tool)

    it's from thaumcraft actually. so you need to research it there. until you get to that point however, I suggest just using ordinary string. that extra slot is not that important tbh. most effects has to be put on the arrows to work anyhow, so apart from moss and redstone there aren't many uses...

    Tinker Construct - Best Weapon (not tool)

    bow: slime,slime and enchanted sting. pile on the redstone. arrow: feather fletching always and slime rods for range and paper when needing an extra buffslot. arrowheads depending on what properties you want. thaum for extra buffslot (paired with a paper rod this gives a whooping 5 slots)...

    Anybody know a TRUE, cheap replacement for pneumatic tubes?

    using anything except logi pipes as interfaces or junctions always causes logi pipe systems to fail. Logistic pipes do not recognize other pipe types except as a pathway towards the next logistics junction. the correct way to use the default route system in logistics pipes is to put a buffer...

    Logistic option, what mod to use?

    yes you can, however. if you have a very high throughput and the machines can't keep up, then the system will overflow sooner or later. (this happens regardless of system tho, even the AE one. running out of buffer space is bad). So what you need to do is separate your processing streams from...

    Squid power problem

    The mod that made it possible is gone yeah. but not because it was nerfed intentionally. eloraam is just being awfully slow at updating. the flowers/grass auto harvesting mechanic is a vanilla thing tho, and it works fine for vanilla simply because you have to be inside the darkroom to get the...

    Fireproofing flammable blocks

    glass microblock covers works too. they fill the blockspace, and will thus prevent any fire entity from spawning, while still not entirely filling up the entire block. for wool next to fire, one can make a wool antiblock, then add the glass cover to give a cool impression of having a glass...

    Tinkers Construct question

    the not running out of charge thing is a known bug. I do not know if it has been fixed in newer versions or not yet. for the mining speed thing, it was a pretty recent change. the wiki lagging a bit behind is quite normal. someone will get around to fixing the wiki soon enough. (depending on...

    Anybody know a TRUE, cheap replacement for pneumatic tubes?

    MFR also has an option for sorting, altho it will allow items to overflow. the cost is not all that bad either. MFR has a block that will pull items from conveyor belts moving on top of it and into any inventory it is connected to. works with barrels as well iirc. altho it costs 4 iron and a...

    Tinkers Construct question

    The head decides mining level,speed and base tool durability, however, when there is plates on the tool as well, they add their own durability to that of the head, as well as having an effect on mining speed and weapon damage. I don't know the exact formula, but adding slime plates to a steel...
