    Thermal Expansion Suggestions?

    i'll post some screenshots when i get back on my server...but in the meantime i would say this. TE gives you MJ, IC2 (and add-ons) give you EU. you'll need both, especially if Gregtech is on your radar. But for ore processing, i would set up with TE machines. You can also store excess MJ in...

    Mob trap modifications. What will you use?

    ah..i know that you can kill 200 of that mob to move up each tier, but did not know a spawner was worth a tier upgrade too.

    A Little Out of Depth

    i'm on a whitelist server atm, over 18s only though. if you're interested, pm me and i'll forward more details.

    Mob trap modifications. What will you use?

    looking forward to sould shards. you could easily construct a closed room with quicksand ceiling around the spawer (protecting you from other mobs) in the hollowed hill location, without having to take it back to your base. you would only have to whack the suffocating endermen a couple of times...

    Is there a "give up on RP" ETA?

    you won't get an answer to that question here. only speculation....and here goes...rp2 has 1 or 2 bugs left to squash. eloraam is working on them when real life isn't taking priority. it is hoped that in that time, ee3 and xycraft are also developed to a point where they can be included in the...

    A Little Out of Depth

    coincidence....i'm doing exactly the same thing...only because it's interesting to see how vanilla players handle all the technical stuff. They're making tonnes of simple mistakes, but i suppose it's the best way to learn. they're also a lot more creative as a result, so hopefully i can borrow...

    How do I start up FTB after I close everything down

    you might want to ask this in the support section.

    Mob trap modifications. What will you use?

    yeah...i thought that's what you thought i meant. The quicksand ceiling is pretty neat. I have multiple 7x7 rooms with spawners at the centre, and a network of obsidian pipes across the floor. It'll be even better when i can use transposers instead. If i had TC3, i could stick a jar with a...

    A Little Out of Depth

    Go watch Direwolf20's mod spotlights that were uploaded in the last 3 months or so. He has the insider knowledge and has been playing with the beta pack with the modders and devs. The vids serve as a great primer and make that steep learning curve a little easier to climb.

    Is this a glitch?

    i didn't know that the iridium ore generation in the nether had been 'fixed', but i did read somewhere that there were going to be huge meteor craters in the End where iridium would be more common. Take that with a pinch of salt until someone confirms.

    Suggested sticky

    exactly. no offence to the OP, but wouldn't a guide defeat the purpose. My advice is to watch some mod tutorials to learn the basics. It would probably give you a better advantage than a 'painting by numbers' approach, and allow you to impose your style of play. I've only been playing MC for 3...

    DW20

    i think he will use GT. i'm glad...i find it a challenging mod, but it adds to the end-game. The only mods i've not seen him use in the beta series is Twilight Forest and Advanced Solar Panels (so far). I know he's a fan of ICBM and the Laser mod, but the former might have limited applications...

    Mob trap modifications. What will you use?

    it's repeatable anyway, unless you misunderstood what i said.:confused:

    Mob trap modifications. What will you use?

    i was in dire need of enderpearls (even more so, when rp2 is finally added). Twilight forest hollow hills are littered with spawners...so after finding an enderman spawner, portal gunned it back to my base using mystcraft portals. Set up a room with a quicksand false ceiling (3 blocks off the...

    Are Strongholds more common or am I just lucky...

    so, if i understand what you're saying....go to 0,0...head north for at least 500 blocks, and throw some ender eyes about? in other words, is the northern most point of the triangle at 0 or can it be off that axis as well? (re-readng what i just wrote, then that would be too easy, right?...but...

    Are Strongholds more common or am I just lucky...

    mystcraft isn't too bad really, but i agree that the wiki is a little confusing. if in doubt, watch direwolf's spotlight: you might not find much use for mystcraft in ssp, but is vital in smp...especially the portals, used for transporting infinite lava from the nether ;)...many other uses too.

    Are Strongholds more common or am I just lucky...

    as far as i know, you only get 3 per world in vanilla....so unless you have a mystcraft age with strongholds, consider yourself lucky. did you find an end portal?

    I have some questions.

    True. It was merely a pipe dream. Having 2 boilers side-by-side looks ugly though, especially with pipes running everywhere. I wonder if the new TE liquiducts can be used to transport the steam...i would assume you can.

    I have some questions.

    steve's cart would be a luxury as a forestry farm would be more than sufficient to run even a larger LP boiler (in my experience anyway). You could even power the forester with biomass using the excess of saplings...so kinda free MJ. Off point slightly...it's a shame you can't use solid and...

    Randomly being poisoned in jungle Age

    yeah, some of the negative effects should disappear once you're below/above ground level. mining fatigue sometimes remains underground, sometimes not.....which is a little weird. instability is inherent in some of the symbols used to write an age...if you've used dense ores, for example, you're...
