    Long distance rail line questions. (Mindcrack)

    My last foray into HS track indicated that i needed boosters in sets of 3-5 every 4 chunks or so, but you'll probably want to boost your deceleration buffer to 10 rails, just to be safe.

    TC3 Enchanted Fabric

    Retort: me and a friend, spending the better part of a full hour, wondering why six of our coolant cells refused to stay in our nuclear reactor.

    TC3 Enchanted Fabric

    You probably need jars of variously-flavoured essences near your table, to provide additional magicky goodness to the recipe. Theres a section in the crafting UI that will list (in faded icons), the essences you need to provide. See:

    A bit of help with RP2 sorters please?

    Is your sorting machine backed up? If it gets too many items bouncing back, then the sorting machines lock up, and don't push anything else out. Try breaking and replacing the machine, if you suspect it might be this. Also, it looks like your "unsorted" gold chests aren't connected because of...

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    Sadly im not in a position to access my screenshots, but i'll run-down the list of my nicest bases: A sprawling mountaintop castle made of marble and basalt, each room open to the sky, in order to allow easy access through EE's flying ring. I quarried out a quarter of the mountain to make it so...

    Making a task list in game...

    Okay, so heres what you do: first, set up a 8-machine long chain of aqueous accumulators, magma crucibles and extruders. These should be powered by a boiler, and fed through a mystcraft portal that feeds netherrack in from a magmatic engine powered quarry. These machines pipe their cobblestone...

    Mod makers nowdays...

    Or computercraft, where the only boss you need to defeat is a 1400-page LUA textbook. Edit: Probably because the portal gun was never meant for survival mode play. Considering it's resource cost, the portal gun was way too powerful for survival mode. I'm taken to understanding that the dev...

    I'm told that TC nodes get spawned in when thaumcraft stuff happens often enough.

    On Villagers...

    Step one: build a house in the middle of town. Step 2: Fill the house with lava, floor to ceiling. Step III: Label it "villager population control center"

    Favorite biome

    Actually, one of my favourite biome independent locations is a spot nestled in mountains, and on a lake. Kinda like that one hideout in porco rosso, if any of you saw that.

    Efficient biofuel usage- boiler or engines?

    I need a good setup to start and fuel a boiler, actually. The only thing i've had around is my thousands of scrapboxes from a rather ambitious quarry, but it burns through six stacks of them to hit boiling temperature, and still chews through them at nearly the same rate. Do i just need to get...

    Efficient biofuel usage- boiler or engines?

    If i'm not mistaken, a boiler's the most efficient MJ production you can get, but i wouldnt go quoting that.

    Long distance rail line questions. (Mindcrack)

    Highspeed rail is a good option, but the last time i had to bridge a thousand-block gap, i outran the chunk loading. Regardless, it was fairly stable, but occasionally would explode for the sake of lag. faster still is intra-linking link books.

    Favorite biome

    CLIMB THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN PUNCH THE FACE OF GOD I'd be curious to try the redwood ones, since it might actually make a treehouse that doesn't suck. Cannot stand jungles though. So much mob-safe space, and too much ground clutter to move.

    Favorite biome

    Extreme mountains. Building glorious marble castles from which the sky-dwelling bourgeoisie may overlook the earthbound peasantry.

    Redpower MJ engine info?

    I understand that the power-MJ chart is exponentially efficient, as the engine has a fairly small amount of spin-up time. If i had to guess, i'd say that it probably gets throttled if the system's endpoints are no longer receiving power, though thats speculation based on the operation of...

    Yogscast on FTB

    One of slow's last streams included him mentioning that he won't continue the "no mention of the T word" policy, as they were changing their ways for the better, and he had no problems with them so long as they weren't claiming other people's credit. Possibly, it's not terribly clear; i...

    [MystCraft] Getting stuck in an age

    Since twilight forest and the nether are disabled in MC ages, then you can't make your way directly back, no. What you end up having to do, is either make enough books to age-hop your way to star fissures, or you cheat your way back with /tpx, or spawning nether portal blocks in. Edit -...

    Please help a noob RTG turtle

    I'd like to second that. The peripheral needs to be "wrapped" so that the turtle knows to interact with it.
