    [DW20] Forestry Backpacks automation?

    Since they're so cheap, the solution I used was to make more then one. You could probably get away with having an autocarfter making a new one every time you put a pull one in a pouch or the like. Then you'd have to empty them all manualy. Realisticaly, I've never had a situation where I've...

    Question about Thaumcraft 3 and other dimensions

    In the nether, use crystal clusters to restore depleted nodes. For the end, hoe of growth /might/ work. If not try taking some full crystal capacitors and try then.

    <3 that Rick Roll. That took some real effort.

    What Items Do You Think Players Under-Use?

    I've been tempted to messwith the arcane ear (and levitator) lately. Not using wireless redstone is a boon, and shortens some setups. It allows you to use 'public' style frequency but with a range limit. For servers without wireless redstone it is amazing for replacing some of that functionality.

    What Items Do You Think Players Under-Use?

    I'd have to say golems in general. Most of the benifits of a router/turtle/gate system in one quickly deployable pipe free package. To the inverse the nano-saber seems oddly over-used. when you have the mutlple hitting zepher sword, wand of lightning and hunters handgun it seems strange to use...

    Where is the line between contraption and exploit?

    Unless you wilfully avoiding it, using the stone will accelerate you. Honestly the /obsidian/, /pearls/ /iorn/ and /gold/ recipies make the most difference, not the diamonds. 4 gold becomes a lot of gold, iorn and obsidion. These become early enchantment tables, early chunk loaders, early TE...

    Where is the line between contraption and exploit?

    Enderpearls into Iorn And vise versa are definitely not /exploits/. But they are /definitely/ a major balance issue. The choice to allow it, (multiplayer) or to use it (single player) can dramatically change the feel of he game. (Trees = diamonds, iorn, gold and pearls (most of the resources...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    You could use clay golems instead of pipes. Clay golems will only fetch the saplings/mulch when there is room for them to put in more. I use this method myself for my biofuel. Just put the golem on the correct side of the block (same as where you would connect a tube), put a marker next to the...

    Gregtechs role in the modpacks.

    Just because you like to play in an isolated enviroment with people of your exact mindset, doesn't make you right. It matters because making a community without some kind of ruleing is dman near imposable. If people wnated to encourage a railcraft styled server and didn't disable or 'nurff'...

    Where is the line between contraption and exploit?

    Generaly, unless the line is pritty obvious, it's subjective/ Usulay it's only easy to draw in cases where it's worth considering. Any infinate, exponential, easy to access energy/matter loop. Say a crafting recipie that terned one wood plank into 20 wooden (burnable) items, IE, any exploit...

    Non-renewable Items?

    This leaves us at quite the problem, as All sources I've seen say that the random exploding chance doesn't exist. (I've never seen the 0.01 that wasn't then proven to be one of the other two known bugs). If that new grafter doubles the chance, then it might makie silverwoods renewable.. ish...

    Gregtechs role in the modpacks.

    A solution is needed because a multiplayer environment exists. No one cares what you do with your own game, but trying to create a certain style of server is really difficult /without/ details like being able to multiply your wood energy yeild 12 fold. Your utter lack of understanding on the...

    Non-renewable Items?

    Since asking other people have confirmed random explosions is false. The reason for explosions is a gregtech config that by default causes the siphon toe explode is more then one egg exists in the same dimension. IE, by crafting or duping more. There is definatly no 'random chance' for it to...

    Gregtechs role in the modpacks.

    I'm glad someone else here pointed out the flaws in that vieo. it makes some good points but the examples are completely wonky. Something /like/ greg is needed if you want to have a certain style to playing with meny independent mods. In Tekkit this ment disabilig EE3 if you wanted a survival...

    To add further to that point, the Huge hollow hills have ridiculous amounts of lapis in them. Also, I thought it was 'hills' not 'extreme' which gives emerals in x-biomes, but I could be wrong.

    Non-renewable Items?

    I'm pritty sure you could do that with golems or robots?

    Non-renewable Items?

    With the definition in the OP, Silverwood Saplings 100% needs to be on the list. It averages out as less then one sapling per tree, so over time the resource will be depleted. Does the player count for the system? Or should saddles be on the list?

    On the strongest sword, I'd presume Bane can get looting too. Adding a bit more. Personally I tend to go for the Zepher Sword. Hitting multiple mobs at once at diamondish damage (might be slighty higher) plus a full set of enchants makes it more useful for every situation that is not pvp. (The...

    gregtech block breaker nerf

    To be honest, 50% of this mess of a thread is two people who really don't understand what reflection is endlessly claiming Greg is evil for using it. Based on random feeling. If you remove /that/ you get half random hashtags and assorted spams. Remove THAT and you find the usual greg bashing...

    Pipes with liquiducts

    I think, if there was a scenario where there was no space around the only output to a tank for a red stone signal, this would be the only way of pulling from it?
