    Automate RE Cell power with BC Gates

    The Programmable Rednet Controller can do it with an RS Latch. I don't remember the exact setup on the PRC, but you would put 2 gates on the REC (one set to Empty > redstone on, the other set Full >redstone on) connected to rednet cables set to different colors. The "Empty" redstone signal turns...

    Mystcraft 0.10.4 - How to get rid of randomness?

    Thaumcraft was certainly in Ultimate. But if it was a library, it was either a strange bug or you were living in an age that looked like the overworld

    Mystcraft 0.10.4 - How to get rid of randomness?

    It could be you're thinking of the TC barrow hills, I've found Mystcraft pages in the chests in those.

    Iron tank input question

    Pics would be helpful, but the way you worded it sounds like you have a wooden pipe on the tank's input? If so, that's why, wooden pipes are for output.

    Carminite reactor - what is the point of this?

    Yeah, it's a pointless complicated exploding thing, but that's why it's awesome. Not everything needs to have a point, there's room for fun little things like this too. I think it fits in pretty well with the rest of what's in the towers. Reminds me that I need to go through one of them since...

    Very quick question involving Mooshrooms

    Definitely this. You don't even need to spam ages, they're pretty common to find. I'm pretty sure Mystcraft breaks the mooshroom spawning behavior, I always find them in places they shouldn't be

    Question about Lappacks.

    If you already have the Adv. Electric, you really shouldn't need to charge it, it holds a good amount of charge. Just make sure you start with a full charge. The only thing you could carry to charge it would be an MFSU and lapotron crystal. By the time someone is looking to make a Gravi or...

    best way to get rid of flux

    The trick is to not box it up too tight. If there's enough space the wisps still spawn, but they stay contained in the box until they despawn. Thay way the flux still goes down but it's safer to be in the area

    best way to get rid of flux

    Both are nasty though. And the effects are similar enough if left unchecked, the only real difference is dark nodes spewing more wisps. Terrible to live near either way. On my latest world I found a great spot to live, only to discover a bit later that my new house was ~30 blocks from a barrow...

    best way to get rid of flux

    It may have started naturally high, but working with TC can cause flux in nodes a decent distance away. As you work and the nearest node drains, it draws from nearby nodes to charge, then they draw from other nodes to charge, etc etc, causing flux the whole way. The safest way to do TC is in...

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

    This is true. The "sounds" config option actually makes it harvest like other farms do, by deleting blocks from the world instead of breaking them. If it's only changed client-side, it doesn't do anything

    best way to get rid of flux

    If it's just the wisps you're worried about, you can encase the node that's spawning them with glass to keep them contained. The wisps spawning is what's going to clear up the flux, but it takes a while. Pure nodes from silverwoods help too, but they're also slow.

    Infinite power set-up theorycraft

    My last boiler setup was 2 36LP's, same running fuel use as 1 36HP, and my spawner only ran a bit less than half of the time (automated on/off with level emitters). I agree that it can be done more efficiently without boilers, but given infinite fuel I'm more concerned with space and ease of...

    Infinite power set-up theorycraft

    If you're careful and watch for skellies, all you need are a few fire resistance potions and a soul stealer sword. I usually do this pretty early for ender chests/tanks, before I have any armor at all. Blaze rods are half as good, but the sheer number you get from a T5 make up for that. It...

    Infinite power set-up theorycraft

    Shouldn't need the turtle, I've used water traps for blaze rods. Or an MFR grinder, to produce some mob essence too. Alternatively, if you build up a stockpile of blaze rods (a very large stockpile), you can use them to fuel a boiler instead of magmatics.

    Infinite power set-up theorycraft

    Blaze rods are better, and a steady supply is easy with a T5

    How will MCPC+ affect my server

    Just launch with the new .jar, nothing else required. Your mileage may vary, but I had a respectable performance increase when I switched to MCPC+ on my 1.4.7 server (but the quirky behavior with mystcraft and chunkloaders still drives me crazy)

    Xycraft is skipping 1.5.2, it'll be back for 1.6.

    Unstable Ingots

    I can't remember specifics, but there are some creative ways to automate them. I don't think any of the standard autocrafting works though, I'm pretty sure they're coded to prevent that

    Unstable Ingots

    The best thing to do would be to check out the Extra Utilities thread on the Minecraft forums, it has descriptions for them. They all have special abilities, some more useful than others (the wand is great) Edit: When you craft them, BE CAREFUL. The explosions from the ingots timing out will...
