Unless something has changed since I last delved into bees, this isn't completely accurate. Many bees spawned via world gen have (used to have?) a temperature/humidity tolerance of +/-1. I bred a few jungle bees in a plains biome in the DW20 pack without any problems. When you put down an...

Also have had this problem. It seems to be intermittent and can affect some but not all chests adjacent to one another.

HOLOGRAMS?!! All that stuff sounds awesome, but seriously, did you just say HOLOGRAMS? Oh happy, happy day!

Xycraft crystals and aluminum seem to clog my sorting machine no matter what I do (the various colored shards are fine though). I don't know if it's a bug or if I'm doing something strange, but my sorting works fine once I routed the crystals around the machine rather than through it.

Can you clarify what you mean by "processing"? Are you referring to video edits, or simply encoding the video in a different format? What format would you consider a good candidate for manageable file sizes? On the subject of video edits, is it generally better to do a lot of post-recording...

Your blog contains several very helpful and well-written guides; thank you for that. I was hoping I could persuade you to write similar guides for MFFS and (especially) Gregtech. I find MFFS confusing and just can't make heads or tails of Gregtech. I tried to make the same suggestion by...

I recorded my very first video with Bandicam, which seemed functional enough. But I was hoping there might be better options out there. If you're an avid youtuber, what program do you prefer to record with and why? I'm especially interested in cheap/free options with gentle learning curves.

This. It's actually quite simple. To elaborate, use "than" when you are comparing two subjects. Example: "His eyes are bluer than yours." Pretty much every other usage is spelled with an "e", not just the past references. Examples: "I biked home, then took a nap." "If you are tired...

That doesn't work for moving animals from their fenced-in pens (I like to keep two of each, Noah's ark style) onto the breeding floor with Railcraft feeder. That's actually pretty much all I use the portal gun for.

Great guide! I'm much more familiar with Buildcraft than RP, so I found it very helpful as I attempt to master the intricacies of Redpower.

Done. Well, actually I deleted the items used in the old recipe from my inventory with NEI, then cheated one in. Couldn't stand to move my cows around with wheat anymore.

My favorite trick for starting up EU generation involves water mills in combination with a deployer, filter and retriever. Water mills are cheaper than most other generators and produce a solid 1EU/tick when supplied with a bucket. With RP tubes, you can send up a system on a timer that pulls...

I'm afraid I'm not using Gregtech, so I didn't even understand most of that. (Methane?) Thanks for those figures, that was very helpful! Most people seem to agree that biofuel in the boiler is the Gregtech-free way to go, so I'll definitely give that setup a whirl. My 3x3 boiler can be...

So I'm reaching that middle point in the game at which you can upgrade your power generation, and I feel kind of overwhelmed with options. I started out with some (TE) steam engines powering my thermal expansion machines, and I'm still using TE for ore processing, so my primary power method...

Wow, those are some great aesthetic builds! I am nowhere near so talented, but I do desperately miss basalt and marble. And the wiring. And the logic gates. And the filter/deployer.

I apologize if it sounded like I was aiming my comment at you personally, Jim Johnstone. I meant it more as a general remark, for indeed I've never seen you complaining. :) That said, I'm always surprised when people claim that modding Minecraft is exceptionally time consuming or difficult...

Putting your own pack together is hardly a nightmare. I can usually get it done in 30-60 minutes, depending on how many crashes I encounter. That's way less time than it takes for even a well-maintained pack like FTB to update. It doesn't make sense to complain bitterly about the pack being...

Oops, missed the joke. I mean, the phraseology was obviously humorous, but I figured he was serious about the content. Maybe add a winky next time? No tone of voice makes it harder to tell a joke from a real remark.

I'm a little confused. If releasing Redpower before the 20th will "bring down the internet", why would a release post 20-12 be any different? There will be a large amount of traffic no matter when it's released.

This is why I'm very glad I learned to put my own "mod pack" (i.e. install lots of mods) together during the long wait for FTB- it means I can test out tasty Thaumcraft goodness without waiting for an official release! Of course, it also means I have roughly a hundred files to go individually...
