Manyullyn makes the most useful weapons because it has the highest damage modifier (2.0). However, as it turns out I'd been doing it wrong and cobalt has a higher base mining speed (11 vs 9) so using that for all your digging tools makes sense. What's the point of pure ardite though?

The Dartcraft auto-transmuting spoils bag recycling center is up and running, complete with a bucket of force emptier so I can scrounge that iron too. This is a good source of industrial quantities of tool metals. Bronze is a nice color. As a way to make steel it is also far faster than...

Accidental bronze I understand, but why wouldn't I want glorious purple manyullyn? Aluminum brass, you mean drawbridge materials?

The internal capacity of that block is huge by MJ standards, but it is easier and faster to charge up at a MFSU. None of the high-end IC2 machines are hard to make without Greg. Go for it.

MFR auto-spawners are amazing machines. They produce true clones of the entity you load them with, not some mobSoulShard.mobname lookalike. Throwing MFR-spawned pigmen off a cliff does produce spoils bags. I am giving away Oblivion Frames as fast as people will take them and slowly drowning in...

You know what I don't miss? Needing to run stuff through a compressor to get a block. GregTech wasn't a bad mod. It was hard but you also got handed tools to overcome that insane hardness with automation and cleverness. You are supposed to build huge sprawling factory complexes and automate...

This could have broad recycling applications. Pigmen also drop those spoils bags and I have just tons and tons of weapons and armor. I'd set up a half-automated Railcraft blast furnace to melt everything I could into steel (the spoils bags supply their own coke) but this could be faster and more...

Adding grass to the chicken pit fixed the problem.

My cold chickens aren't regrowing feathers after being hit with force shears. I saw cold cows regrowing skin - what am I doing wrong here?

Pigmen are easier to work with than endermen. Starting with gold you transmute down to get iron and up to diamond instead of transmuting up once for iron and transmuting up two more times to diamond. They are also easier to contain and mostly harmless during a grinder leak. Those satanic...

So after annoying DoctorOr by safely wrenching Thermal Expansion things (and yes, you can safely do it in multiplayer too) I set out on a mission to break Dartcraft somehow. I succeeded. Wrenched spawners of different species can occasionally stack, converting all the stacked spawners into one...

Nah, this sort of thing has happened before. Mazestone used to be murder on Vajras.

It is very interesting to see that this gets skulls, but it seems like it would be more efficient to just channel the mobs onto a few spikes and then pick up the drops with obsidian pipes.

Fall damage. This can move mobs away from the spawner as fast as possible so more can spawn. No power needed, no maximum throughput. You won't get wither skulls or random cruddy equipment but you will still get spoils bags, thank you Dartcraft, and you also get those miniature heart containers.

When I get bored I start designing superweapons and overly elaborate traps. Nothing is more rewarding than a Mystcraft cannon that can dig a hole halfway to bedrock in seconds. NOTHING. Except maybe if it used nuke spam instead of TNT. So, breed yourself some uranium bees and get to it.

Turtles are a beautiful thing. Even if you're too cheap to use a diamond pickaxe (what other picks can you use in the post-redpower era?) obsidian is really, really easy to get by transmuting wood.

Nope, completely unable to reproduce. Energy conduits, liquiducts and cells are completely immune to wrenches. Also, transporting small steam boilers seems to work. So there.

I could not reproduce this bug in singleplayer in Unleashed. Tesseracts are immune to wrenches and do nothing. Wrenching TE machines works flawlessly, even if they are connected to other machines and processing items/liquids.

The changelog says it has been fixed. OP, are you still on Ultimate?

Try a turtle grinder instead. MFR won't give you rare drops but turtles will. I like turtles.
