    Solid Boilers after 1.5.1. Wood source?

    Let's say your cart delivers 10 stacks of wood every 10 minutes, if you don't give the 1st boiler what it needs to run for 10 minutes it will run out of fuel and lose heat. The only surplus you can send to the 2nd boiler is what you have left after giving the first boiler what it needs to run...

    What is this, I don't even.....

    ^ That. You can put Sludge in a Sludge Boiler to get stuff like Dirt, Sand, Clay, Quick Sand, Cracked Sand and Soul Sand. Sewage I'm not sure where you can put it in, but it's used to make MFR Fertilizer. So both can help you a little early game, I used Sludge in my 1.4.7 game to avoid going...

    Do you suffer from bad short term memory?

    I think my short term memory is fine, all these mods just take up way too much memory with all their complicated recipes and 5 bazillion unique resources. Seriously, modded MC is the only thing where I regularly forget what I was doing, in other games or RL I rarely have that (or at least I...

    Is Java a gift to modders?

    I'm no professional coder, but coming from the modding scene of other games I'd say Java is a gift for modders. The games I've modded in the past employed their own scripting languages and had the "core" locked down, unaccessible to modders. That doesn't mean there were no great/fun mods...

    Solid Boilers after 1.5.1. Wood source?

    I've heard some sort of IC2 scrap/fertilizer recipe + bonemeal = infinite fertilizer where you can reuse the IC2 part infinitely and only need to keep adding bonemeal. And otherwise a cow/pig/chicken/sheep farm with an MFR Sewer should also produce all the fertilizer you could ever want...

    1.5.1 Beta Pack-DIY Edition (now with 1.5.2)

    I've seen people say it would come between April 22-29, I think I'll be able to hold out for a few more days and I love my modular power suits. Though I like this short guide on MultiMC ^^ Sounds like making your own mod pack doesn't have to be too much trouble with that and I might actually...

    Xycraft soil

    I have tested and it works fine for trees MFR can normally handle (I think all trees except the new Forestry ones). I think it doesn't plant anything that needs tilled soil though. I think I've seen some mentions about XyCraft compatibility in the MFR for MC 1.5 patch notes though, but I'm not...

    Minecart for mining purposes

    This is what my mining carts have: Standard Hull Coal Engine Basic Drill Torch Placer Large Railer Bridge Builder Top Chest Internal storage (3 times, basically as much storage as you can stick on it) Liquid Sensors Height Controller That pretty much maxes out a Standard Hull (I think with...

    1.5.1 Beta Pack: Are U Looking Forward To It?

    On the topic of a 1.5.1 beta pack: YES, GIMME, GIMME, GIMMEEEEEEEEEE! Is it official a 1.5 beta pack is on the way though? Because I haven't seen any official announcements about that yet. As for SC tree farms, I have never been a huge fan of them but with nerfs to Biomass and these nerfs I'm...

    Why 1.5.1 hoppers rule, a pictoral

    Hoppers, one of the reasons I want that 1.5 update asap! Not to mention all the cool stuff TE, MFR, MPS and quite a few other mods have gotten between their versions in Ultimate and now.

    Xycraft soil

    Ok, but did you have the XySoil under the plants themselves or under the blocks where the Melons/Pumpkins grow? Or just everywhere?

    Xycraft soil

    Speaking of XySoil, how does it work with Pumpkins/Melons? Can you make them grow faster and if so do you need the XySoil only under the stalk or also under the blocks where a Melon/Pumpkin can grow? Or do you only need it under the places where the Pumpkin/Melon can grow and not under the...

    [Poll] Do you use Gregtech?

    I'm pretty sure I've seen plenty of GT related polls about why GT lovers/haters are more abundant than the other side/group/people in the short ~6 months I've been on these forums. And the results I've seen from those always point to a roughly 50-50 split in the community. This leads me to...

    Xycraft soil

    To me the stacking mechanic is more of a convenience and potentially less resource intensive way to get more out of a farm. I mean if you run an MFR farm increasing its area also means getting better upgrades and/or more Harvesters/Planters, so just sticking more XySoil under it might be the...

    Xycraft soil

    I've heard the stacking is additive, not multiplicative. Which means each block you stack adds less compared to the stack you had before (adding 1 block to a stack of 20 increases speed by less than adding 1 block to a stack of 3). Which seems to agree with what I've seen in game. If it would be...

    How to lure cows back over water?

    I've never had animals stray when I was close, it's so easy to get way ahead of them though -.- They get stuck on everything and even normal walking speed is way too fast if they don't get stuck on anything. That said, in my last vanilla survival game I managed to get a mob of every type +...

    The 10th plague: PIGS!!!!!!

    Hahaha, that reminds me of when this happened in my creative world: That was in vanilla though, a long time ago and most likely caused by MCEdit.

    Am I the only one who cringes......

    I used to cringe at inefficient coal use, but once I realized it's renewable, Diamonds aren't rare, Solar panels are lame and coal coke is just not worth waiting for I decided it was time to stop worrying about it. The MC world is so huge you can never hope to use all of it anyway, so for all...

    What block, tool, or feature converted you to modded Minecraft?

    Good'ol BC was what turned me, the possibility to automate so many things you couldn't in vanilla was what hooked me. I got into BC pipes, did some crazy stuff with them and now they're still my favorite for transporting items (AE is close, but for early game they're just too expensive). I...

    Unique Energy, Your Set-Ups and Plans.

    You should try the Rotary Macerator and Induction furnace, they're really fast and really energy efficient and can run of the power your Mills produce. I once built a setup with hundreds of Mills "burning" water bottles in Creative and it scaled quite nicely. Here are some screens of it...
