    [Fun][Help]Ways to Use plenty of MJs? Not EU! :P

    Hook up a couple dozen magma crucibles to a redpower grate, make your own lava sea in the overworld.

    Laggy laser?

    Get a real engine to power it. An electrical engine doesn't give it anywhere as much power as a quarry needs. For comparison, your engine provides 2 MJ/t (without upgrades). For a quarry you want something on the order of 40-50. Build magmatic, combustion, or steam engines to power it instead.

    Liquid DNA & Honey Disappearing

    Also happens in the latest version.

    Number crunching

    Crunch the numbers on how long you have to run the boiler to make more EU than you would in a generator, if you take in account all the fuel you need to burn through at minuscule efficiency to heat up the boiler. You might be surprised.

    Repair is OP

    After seeing what prolonged use of a repair pickaxe did to my aura, I switched back to electric tools. Remember, wisps are only temporary, there will be more permanent effects of high flux in future versions of TC.

    Filler, energy cell.

    Powering Extra Bees Machines?

    The cell can only accept up to 100 MJ/t, which is a fraction of what your engines are producing. Any excess energy is lost (assuming you are using conduits). Hook up several cells in parallel to store more energy.

    Xycraft liquid tanks

    If you have a full max-sized RC tank of something, then you for all intents and purposes don't need more of it. No non-renewable liquid is needed in such quantities for anything reasonable, and if it's renewable, having that much already means that you're producing more than you use, and nothing...

    Looking for Bee Jokes/Puns

    I keep calling the modpack Feed the Bees.

    How do you decide what to build next?

    When I hit a creative wall, I pick a mod at random and read through its wiki/forums. Not only this gives me much more knowledge about how the mod works and what exactly is possible, but often I find a block or item that I either never heard of before, or that I just think "hey, this would be fun...

    Terrafirmacraft Coming to FTB!?

    Hey, why the raised voice? He wants to try it, he knows what he's going into, let him enjoy the game the way he wants to. For all I care, spawn yourself a massfab and a couple of solar panels, and build your tech from UU matter while enjoying the TFC worldgen. Sure, it will not have any...

    Compiling private modpack through FTB Launcher, Redpower

    Would it be considered advertising if I, hypothetically, were to suggest you try out the new Technic platform?

    AE stress test

    Replace the tube with another chest (forming a double chest). No need for items going through tubes needlessly. :) What's the router for?

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Perhaps easier, you can run a wheat farm, and either make plantballs and macerate them into dirt, or use a moistener to make mycelium out of seeds and turn that into dirt.

    Your thoughts on the Technic Platform?

    Which is pretty much what the Platform does. The workflow of a client is: Start the Technic launcher. Enter the code given by the server admin. (The modpack is automatically and downloaded and installed. You don't need to do anything.) Start Minecraft. Connect to the server. Other than...

    Your thoughts on the Technic Platform?

    It is not a repository. The Technic Platform only links to mod packs the mod pack authors host themselves elsewhere. No mod is hosted or distributed by the Technic team through the Platform. As far as takedowns, it's definitely possible to file a takedown to the person or company actually...

    Your thoughts on the Technic Platform?

    You can, just rename the installation directory not to contain the word "Tekkit" or "Technic". (No personal experience, just what I've read elsewhere.) But I agree with you, this kind of behavior is really childish and to be frank being an asshole. It's one thing wanting to be properly credited...

    Your thoughts on the Technic Platform?

    Yes, if you make a modpack without having explicit or implicit permission to use a mod, and put links to it on the Platform, you, the user, are conducting the offense (we can agree to disagree on whether it is legal, moral, or any other). Just like when you put a copyrighted song or movie up on...

    Sorting Issues

    I don't really pay attention to the colors past the most obvious ones, I just remember number of clicks vs. data value of the color. I use the colors to judge "is it something vaguely similar". (but then I'm weird like that)
