The matter cannon from AE works. It doesn't ever completely destroy blocks like a mining laser and it is Gregproof. I usually load it with gold nuggets because once I get a pigman farm going I'm drowning in gold, and gold bullets are cool.

Rednet controllers are not the easiest things to figure out. They're well-documented though, and less scary than the Redpower computers and bundled cable they were designed to replace. I figured that was what you were doing. Yeah, this is the easier way of going about it. The first block of...

MFR rednet cables pass along signal strength -1. You probably don't want to control just one light so this may be the solution for you. I futzed around with vanilla comparators for a bit and you can use those too but I remembered that MFR rednet controllers have a bunch of different modes for...

And here I was thinking I was the only one who explained most of modded Minecraft's weirdness as wizardry gone wrong.

You turn it on, everything turns to fake gold and diamond blocks that you can't mine, it starts eating nearby blocks (including the fake gold and diamond) and it explodes. When it explodes you are left with a couple of little ghasts. But... why? Is this just a pointless complicated exploding...

Which is good advice, because it will be cheaper in the end and much less laggy. Enderchests are probably the cheaper of the two.

Some theorycrafting and science would be a good thing.

A memory leak is when some piece of information isn't cleared from RAM once it is no longer important. Java is supposed to garbage collect automatically. It does not do a very good job. One classic example is that chunks of worlds and states of modded crud can persist in memory even after a...

The mod sort of assumes you'll NEI things, and set up a factory to centrifuge some redstone dust instead.

A base full of weapons is cooler than a base not full of weapons, and BiblioCraft gives you some good options to display it. Doing that also has some gameplay uses. Need a pick or a spare sword right now? Don't root around in chests, just grab it off the wall. A state of armed paranoia is...

Now that I think about it there's a copper bee, and bees give you unlimited rubber from propolis anyway. It would be a really funky late-game way of powering a base but all the inputs are things you might already farm, and it's better than a void pipe or putting it in a DSU and never using it...

This is nifty, but remember it needs a renewable source of copper.

IGN: TangentialThreat Age: 25 How long have you been playing modded minecraft?: I found FTB a few months ago, but was manually adding mods for about a year before that. Have you ever been banned?: I've been playing for a while now. I have been banned for somehow griefing spawn while not online...

I should learn how to DDoS.

Forum name: TangentialThreat In-Game Name: TangentialThreat Age: 25 Country: United States of Florida Have you ever been banned? why? I stole five bees once. Do you understand that we won't tolerate cursing in the public chat? Fudge yeah, it'll be gosh-darn hard for me though. If you could be...

I am not 100% on what is happening with your rednet, but I very carefully placed my entire grinder setup within a single chunk and made it self-contained just to avoid anything weird like this ever happening. Try changing the color of the spider spawner cable? I read that the water-in-pipes...

You know, I'm fairly sure IC2 is the only way to craft a water source block. No cooling the nether without it.

The anvil trick has been fixed. What I mean is make, say, a T5 cave spider spawner by absorbing the plentiful spawners and then kill spiders with a grinder. Get mob essence. Use essence to feed an auto-spawner that spawns witches. Kill witches with your Soul Stealer force sword while holding a...

If available, PowerConverters is much better than banks of electrical engines and industrial steam engines. Just one can handle a lot of steam (add liquiducts around it) and/or tons of EU. Dartcraft also adds some interesting options. Those force engines can reach 16 mj/t if you can figure out...

From the tools he/she gives you I think Powercrystals is expecting you to run it off either vanilla spawners or cows. However, the interaction between Soul Shards and MFR is too strong not to use. A soul shard can drive an auto-spawner and the mobs from the auto-spawner can be used to level up...
