I've done that. Once I somehow got lost down there (it was dark!) and drowned. I've also mistaken alumentum for nitor. Just this weekend I was demonstrating lighting techniques to my boyfriend: "Now, this can light up a room nicel- *KABOOM* ...nevermind, that's the one that explodes."

Not unless you go windmill --> blulectric engine, which is inefficient. (You can also convert your EU from solars to MJ with an electric engine at a loss, but I assume you knew that.) MJ is indeed harder to generate than EU, which is probably which MJ is worth more in most other mods (MPS, for...

To be honest, I've gotten a little sick of IC2 over the past year or so. Part of that is that I'm bad at sticking to a single world, and it used to be that IC2 was the only viable way to start out with ore processing... so I built the same couple of machines over and over. TE was a huge breath...

Drowning in Xycraft aluminum? It's perfect for factories.

I used to be religious about doing that, until FTB made me lazy by enveloping me in the warm lap of luxury. Then I had a problem with FTB updates, and now I'm religious about it again. I make a point of backing up the entire instance with MultiMC after each gaming session once more.

Last time I jumped into a test build before it was recommended, it "broke" my world save once I updated from the test version of that build to the recommended version. There was a weird ID conflict with an item in forestry that no longer existed- it was listed as "unknown name" in the crash...

I don't suppose there's a regular time the team is aiming at? I'm torn between waiting patiently like an adult and indulging my inner child by going straight to the test build (which is probably unwise).

This is pretty much par for course with extra biomes, unfortunately. The new biomes just don't seem to play well with other mods... sometimes things work, sometimes they don't. It's erratic. I've disabled extra biomes for the moment, which makes me sad because I love the red mountains and...

"Quickly" is a relative term. If you have less than 10 hours per week to play, I'd recommend DW20.

Age: 28 Gender: Female Race you identify with: White What you enjoy most out of the game (choose one); mining, building (houses/structures), building (contraptions/automation), adventuring/exploring: I split my time between contraptions and structures. My contraptions are better, though...

Nope, this is not what happens when you clone an organism. It's true that clones tend to be short-lived compared to parent species, but not because of the destruction of DNA.

Ooh, so you could theoretically make a mob grinder with heroic bees? That might be fun to try...

Chocolate and soul frames are a godsend for the purpose of speeding things up. Extra bees really takes a lot of the tedium out of breeding.

Ooh, I didn't know you could do that. Still new to Extra Bees. Thanks!

This thread contains references to specific bee effects, so I've stuck the whole thing behind a spoiler tag to avoid inadvertantly ruining anyone's fun. Edit: Hmm the spoiler tag is behaving oddly for me... I only have ["spoiler"] at the start and ["/spoiler"] at the end, but I ended up...

My current strategy is to design the interior first by figuring out how I want my machines etc set up, then build the walls around that space. You can do this in game, but I find it easiest to make a simple sketch. Your interior will be lovely if planned thusly. Exteriors are my weak point, but...

Make a mystcraft age with the plains, flat, and dungeons symbols. This will make it easy to spot TC dungeons and... I'll call them aura node chests (they spawn on the surface on obsidian platforms. Logic matrices are frequently found in both. I also find them beneath cave spider greatwood trees...

Thanks for the turtle example, Poppy. That was very helpful. :) That response seems a little rude, given that a) I was interested starting a broader discussion of effective techniques used in mob grinders, rather than looking for answers to specific questions (except with regards to how to...

Despite around a year of modded Minecraft experience, up until this point I've never actually built a mob grinder- of any kind. It's a consequence of sticking to peaceful mode for so long. But now I'm slowly edging my way into higher difficulty settings and was trying to come up with some cool...

I had 3 Xycraft crystals in my sorting machine with different metadata. Still jams. I don't think aluminum has metadata, and weirdly it's only the smelted aluminium which gums up the works. The ore goes through just fine. Both the crystals and smelted aluminum also jam my filter (set up to...
