    Favorite and most hated machines?

    Favorite: Sorting Machine from Redpower 2 - So very useful without being too expensive to make enough of them for all my uses. Least Favorite: Buildcraft Refinery - I think it would just be better if it were replaced with some new machine that takes it's place. It just feels so out of place to me.

    It doesn't have a date yet. The news has an estimate for most of the pack: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/ftb-mod-pack-and-launcher-news.5506/

    Am I the only one who likes the gregtech recipes?

    I like the recipe changes myself. I don't think of it as 'grinding' because he just widened the gap between tiers of machines. Having to actually go out and mine manually for a while was great. I liked that I couldn't just use my first set of diamonds to make a quarry (I don't like the idea of...

    Am I the only one who likes the gregtech recipes?

    You are thinking about the Xycraft Aluminum. Gregtech doesn't allow you to use that kind. You can only get his through the industrial electrolyzer and from the industrial grinder through other ores.

    Am I the only one who likes the gregtech recipes?

    Well you can create gunpowder using saltpeter, sulfur, and coal/charcoal dust. With bees you can create it too. Thaumcraft let's you create gunpowder from cobblestone alone. Thermal Expansion niter, sulfur, and charcoal/coal also creates gunpowder. There isn't exactly a need to create a mob...

    Bit of help with the Relay/Pneumatic tubes? :)

    Does it do this with any item or just ones you don't have a barrel set up for already? Not sure if I understand correctly, but are you saying that the items come through a relay into your barrel setup and then back to the relay? Since there isn't a picture of how you have the relay setup I don't...

    [Update not so sad anymore]Underwater Beekeeper Shoop is a sad Shoop

    Could breeding them to be cave dwelling help, maybe?

    How do you create a stable Mystcraft world?

    Ehh a few days ago on the Gregtech forum he posted the code for how the lightning rod decides the strike chance. It is just determined by rain and storm. Apparently if the rod is large enough even rain has a chance of causing a strike, though I think it was 100 times lower than when storming...

    Trapped in Myst-void age

    Yep, it is saved in that world's save folder. They are folders like DIM_MYST2. You just need to know which age number that age was when you created the descriptive book and delete that folder.

    Uses for massive amounts of cobblestone

    Soul forge uses corrupted essence. Which is Vile Dust + Glowstone Dust. Vile DUst is smelted Soul Sand. 8 netherrak from 1 corrupted essence. Not worth it in the long run I think, but maybe really early on. You can also smelt stone bricks into nether brick in it. I would just save it for Soul...

    Trapped in Myst-void age

    Use creative mode to cheat in the notebook with all the symbols. create an age with a Star Fissure. Will be a ravine like hole to bedrock near the spawn in the age. Jump in and it will take you back to the overworld. Also you can cheat in a nether portal block and get to the nether and then back...

    Uses for massive amounts of cobblestone

    EE3 Minium stone, turns it into grass blocks. Silktouch free. Turning a mass amount would require you had excess shards though. Which isn't a problem if you have a manual xp farm. You can also turn 6 cobble into 1 basalt cobble too. Again minium stone. You can also turn it into netherrak in a...

    [Forestry] Bees breeding, where to look?

    Igneous Extruder to a Pulverizer could get you your sand, but requires power. Also using mulch and making the humus in a carpenter is an option and gives you more gain. Mulch is easy to obtain with a moistener. It decays wheat to either create mycelium from seeds or make mossy cobble/stonebricks...

    Long Railcraft Track

    Yep, since Forge 493 requires 1.4.7. From XCompWiz post on his blog: http://binarymage.com/2013/01/02/mystcraft-0-9-5-00-issues/ We will still crash if we log out in an age until his next public release though :/ which makes setting up a base inside one difficult for SSP.

    Waiting for Ultimate...

    The ability to add packs is there on the launcher, sure. But we can't actually create a private pack yet can we?

    Long Railcraft Track

    They work if you use any version of Forge 493 or higher. Otherwise it is still a problem.

    Unable to fill steam engines?

    Have you turned the engine on with a redstone signal? The engines won't fill up initially until you try to turn them on the first time.

    blaze rods

    Well I guess with the electrolyze recipe you could also create diamonds? :D 256 or 4 stacks of Rods + 480k EU (and a little bit extra) for a diamond.

    blaze rods

    2 high pressure boilers. Ender chests for life. Fuel for EU in a generator. Other things I am sure, but I can't think of them.

    Purifying Aura for ThaumCraft

    The FTB wiki has the research requirements for all the thaumcraft items: http://feed-the-beast.wikia.com/wiki/Research_by_Aspect Silverwoods only grow when they are in an area that contains enough Vis. Not sure of the exact details and even if it has other requirements. It only has a chance to...
