    Mods that go well with BC

    MPS is decent as well, if you want power armor that doesn't have to rely on EUs to stay charged. Natura/Tinker's aren't strictly suited for BC, but the MFR Harvester can harvest the berries those mods add. I also think you can pump the metals of the Tinker's Smelter around through liquid pipes...

    Should I keep Factorization?

    Is it certain it will be open source? Because last I read from him he said he already picked (or is going to pick) people to carry on the development, that might mean it won't go open source just yet. Either way, TE is far from dead. On the topic of Factorization, at first I didn't like it...

    Ores n Stuff

    For Aluminum you can also get Ore berries, right? They're some of the most commonly found ore berries in caves and ravines. If you're not a fan of fighting mobs just take a bed and explore the surface, you're bound to find ravines with some ore berries in them or come across them near the...

    I am at a loss.

    I did that as well xD I was always so frustrated to put those tools into the research table and see them disappear with 1 click while yielding no progress at all xD

    What farms are the best?

    I agree. The idea of "upgrading" a tree farm through tree breeding isn't really relevant. I mean I can have an MFR tree farm running at max speed with 1-2 mining trips, to get a Forestry tree farm up to that speed through tree breeding will take waaaay more time than that. The BoP trees are...

    I am at a loss.

    I'm pretty sure plain paper also has knowledge, saves you having to get leather. Also Natura berries and cotton are nice single aspect items. My favorite is rubber though, it'll get you to golems really quickly once you get through the first tier stuff.

    Best Modular Powersuit Setup?

    On the server where I play they're disabled due to OPness, we can only make the Power Glove, everything else is disabled. I understand it, but I hate that it means I'm forced into a Nano/Quantum suit and forced to go into IC2 when I don't like IC2 (I don't mind the cost, I just prefer MPS...

    Figured I'd drop in...

    Sad to see you leave the modding scene, TE has brought me countless hours of entertainment, but good luck King Lemming with whatever it is you're doing/going to do.

    Why Do People Avoid Building on Non-Flat Land?

    Generally I'm the kind of guy the just has all his crap sitting out in the open, but I've been trying to change that. Flat terrain doesn't work for me though, I don't get further than boxes on that. Recently I've built on a hill side though and I liked the challenge and it turned out decently...

    Stone pressure plate not working with mobs?

    There could be an option in Towny that only allows you to interact with pressure plates (and buttons and whatnot). I don't know though, but it's the only thing that seems logical to me.

    Best starter power source?

    Personally I prefer to go with Combustion Engines and Oil from a nearby spout. Oil generates a lot of power (even unrefined) for early game and 1 bucket doesn't generate enough power to cause an explosion. So if you let the engine cooldown (which can be done instantly by breaking and replacing...

    Favorite Biomes and Starting Locations

    If BoP biomes are included then Jade Cliffs are my favorite biome to settle in. The terrain is cool and underground you'll find Emeralds that I like to use with TiC to get an early Silk Touch Pick/Hammer. There are many biomes I like visiting before settling down though, to get the...

    Best way to produce massive amounts of MJ mid-game ?

    I usually go with Combustion engines from the very start and feed them Oil from a nearby reserve. It gives you 3MJ/t (I think) for a lot of ticks and with 1 bucket at a time you won't need cooling, just don't turn the engine off or it will lose the MJs it built up. I use that early power to...

    Tinker's Contruct Info

    Oh yeah, I can see how it's useful with health regen off. Interesting about Thaumium, though it still remains true if you want as many modifier slots as possible that you want 1 Thaumium part and the rest paper. I'll edit my previous post to avoid misinforming other people though ;)

    Tinker's Contruct Info

    Wait, they're going to change the food and health regen system again? I didn't know that. Well that could change things of course once 1.7 comes along, until then I'm sticking with "Necro bones are useless" though.

    Tinker's Contruct Info

    Fun fact I discovered about Necrotic bones, they don't "steal" HP. It's only a 0-1 heart heal when you hit something and it doesn't scale with your damage either. It does stack and with more bones the odds of getting healed are higher of course, but still for something that's so hard to obtain I...

    Question about bows

    The main issue I have with TiC bows and arrows is that vanilla bows and arrows are so easy to get once you have a skeleton spawner up and running. I can't be bothered to craft something if I have tons of the stuff ready to go without having to do much. Vanilla bows and arrows are just too easy...

    Automated Mining, RP2 vs BC vs Steve's Carts

    If that were to happen it would be all over the forums, not in a topic about mining... Though I agree it probably would've been better if he just made a new topic. I do like the design/idea though and I'll probably use it, thanks Tnarg ;)

    Advanced diamond drill: fortune III or silk touch?

    Not to mention Redstone is always better to Pulverize/Macerate, before you have a GT grinder of course. By Pulverizing Redstone Ore you will always get 8 dusts per ore, with Fortune 3 you can only get 8 dusts max if you're lucky. For Glowstone Silk Touch + Pulverizer is also superior to Fortune...

    OP Items

    Extra Credits <3 I agree with a lot of things you say, though imho the AE grinder has very little use. After 1 half decent mining trip you can easily set up a TE Pulverizer, so the only time you'd use the AE grinder is before that and you simply won't have much to grind before doing any...
