I do use easy mode, because this would be impossible without it. I avoid all exploits and glitches though. The TE one that gives infinite iron is tempting... That is DEFINITELY something I'll use :)

I also thought that diamonds were harder to find at first, then after running my 64x64 quarry a few times, I'd have to say they are definitely there, you just aren't finding them.

Well, good thing I haven't updated then. This change will break my production chain and only delay my ship production. Tin and zinc are both garbage that are currently just filling up barrels so I don't understand the concern there. I get a lot more tin, but I do use a chunk of it outside of...

Looks great! If you think domes suck, you should try oval domes.. Sandstone for you is stone brick for me :) As for the glass, if you want to bulk swap out for it, Wand of equal trade works miracles!!

It's not the work, it's the resources. I just built 4 more lava centrifuges to speed up brass production. I'm going to build another iron golem farm in my quarry world this weekend. Starting at bedrock level, I should be able to get 3 units high instead of my current one which is only 2. I'll...

That looks interesting, thanks for the link. I haven't built a single frame yet, but I'll give it a try. Too bad they can't turn, I guess when I make one I'll have to do a saucer shape :) I'm such a long way from even thinking about the interior it's not funny! I think a minecrafty version of...

The dark blue is gregtech tungstensteel. Kind of a pain to manufacture, but now that the required machines are set up I only have to do one part by hand so it's not too bad.

My brass factory: The retriever under the battery pulls 3 copper and one tin from my storage area. Most of that comes from centrifuged lava (a good source of the tungsten I've been using also). It goes to the far chest, autocrafts into 4 bronze which gets pulverized, dropped into the next...

That's brass. Mostly because it's cheap, I get 2 brass dust for every bronze :)

I'm thinking the same. I'll probably use them as accents to the walls and in parts of the ship, but not as the walls themselves.

OK, I need some advice. I want to start on the walls, but I don't know what will look good. Like I said before the main area will be 3 floors, each 3 high with a ceiling and 2 high "attic" for energy/item tubes/etc. The floors don't need to show up in the outer wall, I just did it to see what...

I actually like the fact I don't have to worry about it. Gives me more time to build cool stuff when I'm not having to run back and forth checking on things :D

They wouldn't last long exposed to the vacuum of space :P

Did you say 'rubber electron tubes'? That's just nonsense!! :)

I'm thinking about disassembling my assembly line one more time and re-building it from the start before I start on my final engineering room. I want the "best" setup I can get that still makes what I need- and it'll be easier to rebuild for testing purposes on a large empty platform than in a...

At least pumping lava from the nether requires some effort- you have to move your pump every once in a while. My reed farm -> biomass -> biofuel -> 36 HP boiler just runs and runs and runs forever without any effort on my part at all. I haven't even traveled back to my old main base to check...

At this point, the invar change doesn't even matter to me. The only use I currently have for lava is to centrifuge it into brass for my spaceship :)

Just a quick status update: Hull & arboretum. I decided to stop using stone as a temp fill in and just wait until I get the required iron. Putting stone then replacing it just means building the ship twice, I'm burning through wand of equal trades fast enough :) The blue blocks are...

It doesn't matter if its server or client lag. Lag = hard to get anywhere. My point was lava pumps NEVER caused a spot of lag. At least not with 3 anchor spots of flowing lava. Maybe if I had a dozen or more, I'd see a problem.

It's SMP, but I'm the only one on it 90% of the time. My son is the only other player. The lag was only partially the overflowed system, a good portion of it was all the trees growing in such a small space. At least it didn't all go away until I chopped down all the trees manually.
