    Moving Aura nodes - alternatives?

    I personally like to use the RFTools builder to move nodes. It costs 5 million RF to move a node, though. You will probably want to bring a tesseract or energy cell around with you as well if you want to move more than one or two nodes in one trip. Note that with RFTools you can have the node...

    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    You'd probably need something like ProjectE to get a few hundred million iron in a reasonable timeframe.

    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    What if we plan to equal trade our entire continent into iron blocks? Although 10 million wouldn't be enough for that (even if just the surface) ;)

    I Derp, You Derp, We all Derp, What's your's?

    Yeah, I usually try to scan the node before sending it to my base to make sure it's normal (or at least something benign like Unstable). Hungry node is probably the worst that you can send home by accident, since it will systematically eat your base. Tainted nodes are almost as horrible since...

    I Derp, You Derp, We all Derp, What's your's?

    Just started teleporting nodes to my base with RFTools for the advanced alchemical furnace I am going to build. My plan was to send then over one at a time and put stabilizers. Instead I went around my mining age and sent 7 over, forgetting they would bully each other. I decided to destroy all...

    Botania Mod PLZ HELP!!

    Petal apothecary steps: Add water (generally with a bucket). Throw the ingredients into the petal apothecary. You should hear a splashing sound with the item going into the water. The order in which you add the items does not matter. Throw seeds in. Vanilla seeds should all work. Seeds from...

    Having issues undertsanding Recators Mod

    Yes, it is hard to know what is going on without more information. I'm assuming the 100% means you have 100% efficiency (i.e. your turbine has enough blades to support the steam you are giving it). Did you add coolant ports to your reactor or are you using a different steam source for your...

    Question about the ender quarry

    There are a few factors with the ender quarry power consumption. First of all, power consumption is calculated per block broken so when you add a speed upgrade, power drain doesn't only increase due to the upgrade's own power drain multiplier but it also increases due to more blocks being broken...

    Removing UU-Matter from a tank, Part II....

    Another option is if you alter your setup so that the replicator is next to the mass fabricator, you can put a fluid ejector upgrade in the mass fabricator. Alternatively, you can put a tank next to the mass fabricator and use the fluid ejector to output fluid without needing...

    what is the best way to get water into the reactor?

    Note that you can also use redstone, rednet, and even ComputerCraft to control reactors and turbines if you want more flexibility than manually setting control rod positions. I run a semi-closed loop where water from the turbines goes back to the reactor. At the same time, I have a max sized...

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    The Thaumcraft bosses hit like Chuck Norris. Especially if you hit like Chuck Norris. Case in point, I have 40 hearts and Chuck Norris Armor Draconic Armor and the Eldritch Guardian boss got me down to Last Stand before I killed it (thank goodness I threw that on my armor; I also have Soulbound...

    Node not reviving

    Note that if you drain all aspects from a node, it is even possible for the node to disappear entirely (from Thaumonomicon), or even change type (according to Thaumcraft wiki). You can also upgrade nodes beyond pale (to normal and bright) by giving them other nodes to bully. I don't know what...

    Node not reviving

    Sucking one or more of a node's aspects to zero may damage it. To avoid damaging a node, never let an aspect go below 1.

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    And the Whisperweed helps you do all of that research much faster. ;) I loaded up my world today and did a few non-forbidden researches (and while doing this got a Guardian attack and a Flux Flu, the latter wiped immediately by Draconic Armor). When I checked my Thaumonomicon the Revelation was...

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    That's another way (particularly if I don't feel like crafting stacks of stabilizers). And then I can just chuck down an Ethereal Bloom under the node (after it is tainted) to clear any taint that forms. At least it stops spreading taint once energized (if it didn't, I would have to stick it in...

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    Well, I've gotten the Epiphany so far. Once I got it the first thing I made was the sanity checker. Perm was probably less than 20%, sticky was just a sliver, and rest was all temporary. Not sure what the thresholds are (I got the bath salts and soap researches before making the whisperweed, so...

    The moment of truth has arrived...

    Overall I think that the original Minecraft being written in Java has been both a blessing and a curse: A curse because Java will not perform as quickly as an equivalent program written in C++, due to the JVM layer along with aspects such as garbage collection which were not really meant for...

    Infinite pack: light sources

    Another thing you can do is if you have a ton of resources, you can convert your entire structure into light-emitting blocks. For example, in my world I am building my houses out of MFR Large Glowstone Bricks (for basements I use EnderIO exchanger to place the large glowstone bricks, but TC...

    Request Yellorium Problem

    The beauty of kitchen sink packs :p. If you're making a mod pack and don't want positive energy loops you pretty much have to nerf "fabricator" recipes down to costing 10x or more the amount of energy you get from burning the item/fluid and running it through the most productive setup. I guess...
