    resetting thaumcraft research?

    http://lmgtfy.com/?q=NBTExplorer The admin for our server used it not too long ago to clean up a bunch of unused Mystcraft Ages people were chugging through to find the symbols, apparently really easy interface.

    Epic Fail stories

    The Don't-Dig-Straight-Down Rule still applies, and is much easier and deadlier to accidentally violate while holding a Portable Hole.

    Thaumcraft research boost list

    Ah, I completely forgot about Nuggets, I had never used 'em for research. That would definitely make it worth a couple blocks. Rethinking my floorplan to include Iron. Probably around the Crucible.

    Thaumcraft research boost list

    Well, now I know I was getting the most out of my Brewing Stand, Nether Portal, Enchantment Table and Bookshelves being in the same room. Next time I'll put Crafting Tables under the floor, and a Glass roof. Silverwood Log pillars at the corners would be worth it, too. Sugarcane farm just...

    Is the pattern for Obsidian from EE3 intended

    When something becomes everyone's end-all, be-all solution for resource gathering, that's overpowered. There's plenty of let's plays of the other mod pack out there where the players' biggest lament is that Industrialcraft and Redpower items can't be condensed. Turning a few thousand Dirt into a...

    Sharing ThaumCraft Research

    I've only figured out one way of "sharing" Thaumcraft research. I used the Book & Quill and filled my old, quaint little tower with "research notes," keeping a theme of a mad wizard blindly fumbling through alchemical processes. Just enough to get someone who doesn't even know how to make a Wand...

    An idea to prevent Nether lava exploitation

    Oh, that old Vanilla problem, exacerbated by chunkloaders and larger scale? I'll investigate how we've managed to avoid it and get back to you guys if it turns out my administrator is some sort of wizard.

    An idea to prevent Nether lava exploitation

    Well, then. How about we go the way of the Solar Panels? Well, sort of. Make multiblock versions of the Geothermals. A 2x2x2 that puts out medium voltage and a 3x3x3 that generates high voltage, and each eat through lava at an appropriate rate. If people are just going to put out huge geothermal...

    New Thermal Expansion functionality/item: Tesseracts

    Most of us are. One of us is segeuing to political trollbait. On a related note, I've discovered the ignore button.

    FTB Base Ideas

    There's an idea. If Gregtech's new Vis-using generators don't lag everything to hell, I think I'll use some damaging forcefields and lit-up microblocks to make an Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem reference around the new tower I have planned. Bankorok Pargon Redgormor Pargon Chattur'gha At...

    New Thermal Expansion functionality/item: Tesseracts

    That'd just make me stick to good ol' Tank Carts feeding Magmatic Engines through Portals for power and Ender Chests for items. No one's going to use the new and shiny if the tried and true is cheaper and more efficient.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    All of them at once? No. Can every aspect be boosted? There's some I haven't found a way to yet, but maybe.

    Or one Perceptive Wood Golem.

    New Thermal Expansion functionality/item: Tesseracts

    Could do a large up-front energy cost for all of them instead. Replace the center Diamond in the crafting recipe with a fully-charged Redstone Energy Cell? Powering Tesseracts with further Tesseracts would just be silly, and the default solution to a constant power requirement.

    Why does pretty much every mod use MJ?

    Oh, you're right, I'm derping. I think my brain is numb. Work stuff, browsing in-between tasks.

    Why does pretty much every mod use MJ?

    I'm not averse to a hardmode cranking up the Quarry's energy requirement. Like two or three Industrial Steam Engines to get it going at full speed. I'm sure there's a ton of other things that could be done to ramp up the difficulty, but I can't think of them at the moment.

    Why does pretty much every mod use MJ?

    I remember those days. Swearing off my own use of IC is better than constant server crashes.
