    What if there was only 1 Mod?

    Railcraft, though I have recently stopped using it for everything ever in the interest of learning new things. Well, not entirely true. I do still convert pretty much all my Coal into Coke.

    The next Xycraft update looks amazing!

    Since I've gotten into screenshooting recently, helpful pictures! This puts out the same power as ye olde Lava + 4 Water. It easily tiles like this. Or you could do it in a straight line, too. Just make sure the same Thermopile never touches a second Ice block. The 1x1x3? Well the blocks...

    Inspiration. I think I lack it.

    Thaumaturging all day every day. Also quite protective with enchantment. Works well enough for combat against any NPC there is. As far as PVP combat goes, it's lacking but revenge is trivial to pull off.

    Inspiration. I think I lack it.

    I like my wand discount too much to give up the robes.

    Inspiration. I think I lack it.

    I'm with you on the Quantum suits. Well, any God Mode suit for that matter. The quarries, though...you don't get the same return on valuable materials as you would if you just went down and mined yourself. Turtles are less of a crapshoot if you know what you're doing, but they still can't just...

    Inspiration. I think I lack it.

    If you're expecting some new blood on the server, or your friends come to visit but you don't want them in your valuables, make some guest rooms and facilities. Guest rooms put you in a whole different mindset, it was a fun couple hours.

    Question regarding crystal clusters

    It should charge the nearest node, I believe, but things can get wonky sometimes. I've never really went full-on Aura Depletion Mode for testing purposes, but I have wrecked the aura for shits and giggles before.

    Question regarding crystal clusters

    Each one puts out out 1 Vis every five minutes or so. If you're draining that much aura with your ore processing you should be able to swing enough clusters keep your nodes going.

    How do you decide what to build next?

    This reminds me, the Wand of Equal Trade is your best friend. Just build your structure with the ever-abundant Cobblestone until you can get something prettier, then swap it out by the stackload. Hell, I just finished my new foundations last night and went crazy changing it into the bricks that...

    How do you decide what to build next?

    I usually start with a name that I think is funny/snazzy/badass, then build something to match it. I'll probably rebuild the Boremerald sometime this week, once I can make enough Crystal Clusters for it and get the infrastructure set up to accept its output in the Undertower. The Boremerald...

    Flood the everything with lava.

    Ignore the mooing sound coming from that gigantic Macerator. Nothing to see here. Yeah, I was considering taking a floor out to make a trickle-charge Bluelectric Engine for the Energy Cell wall, but then beta-Ultimate server reset happened.

    Not unless you let two ice blocks touch one Thermopile (Or maybe if you add water, too. But that wouldn't increase the output as I understand it so I haven't tried.), so you have to stagger your crosses for maximum density instead of having a big neat block.

    Xychorium Ice. Thermopile on each side of the Ice block it keeps frozen, Lava under each Thermopile. Each one will output the same power as if you had surrounded them with water. The way Thermopiles work will try to melt the Ice, but the Xychorium block will keep it frozen.

    So you don't like high-output farms and worthwhile Thermopiles?

    When I saw it I was damned near licking my screen. That was about hour two (maybe three, time flies) on the new server, have a few floors of the new undertower built in now. Thinking I'll turn the bedrock floor into a Mystcraft library-hub, since I'm the most ADVENTURE!-ous guy on the server...

    I take it you live in an magical candy kingdom where you can get a new broadband connection set up the same hour you call the provider, then. Good for you, but it took two weeks for the guy to show up at my place. Anyway, I'm liking this pre-Ultimate Pack a lot. Slick, lots of little things...

    I've been grumbling about the changes to Windows ever since 2000 was released as a crash-happy soup sandwich, yeah. '98 was a marked improvement over its predecessors, though.

    Did you figure out how without googling it? I sure as fuck couldn't. The default interface is inexcusably counterintuitive and labyrinthine for do anything more in-depth than what my grandparents would attempt.
