    New Thermal Expansion functionality/item: Tesseracts

    Time investment, as in your own time actively doing stuff. If it takes you an hour or half-hour of going back-and-forth to make a teleport pipe work efficiently, then I'd say it's balanced. Yes, Chunk Loaders do make Solar Panels OP. But that's a different sort of time. Thaumcraft is...

    Enchanted Jetpack

    You must be on a really old version then. IC2 fixed all the bugs with being able to enchant their stuff.

    auto mass fad(DW20 pack)

    I haven't tried gates on mass fabricator, but how is it bugged? Keep in mind, the scrap goes in the bottom, so the gate should be on the bottom of the machine.

    Enchanted Jetpack

    I thought enchanting the Diamond Drill was fixed. Advanced Diamond Drill can be enchanted through books, since that is a separate mod that has not yet been fixed. Silk Touch + Advanced Diamond Drill = WIN.

    Teleporting options

    For teleporting people? He's basically saying they're a non-griefer server and built far apart from each other and want to easily access each others bases.

    Teleporting options

    Oh yes, we institute rules of not traveling with more than 1 other person on the server. Keep in mind, people can barter/collaborate. You can transfer symbols to Descriptive books, and then another person can read that symbol into their Notebook. It's really the initial generation of...

    In and of themselves it's not a huge issue. In Beta A I think we had 130 ages and the backup size went from default about 350 MB to 800 MB (some of that was just modifying the world and exploring too). Mystcraft/Minecraft is pretty good about unloading worlds after you leave them. It mainly...

    New Thermal Expansion functionality/item: Tesseracts

    Nothing is OP if you trade off material investment for time investment. - Create hash function that corresponds position in minecraft world + frequency = power on interval [min, max] (say, [5 MJ/t to 100 MJ/t]). "Tunneling through other dimensions". - Make tesseracts require power to...

    Teleporting options

    DestructoPack / Void Pipe. Then go into your server folder and delete the DIM folder because each book takes a lot of storage space on your hard drive (depending how much of it you explored.... sometimes up to 30MB per age!). If you delete the data/agedata_##.dat file too, then you can...

    New Thermal Expansion functionality/item: Tesseracts

    Well, the primary issue is that it's waaaay too easy to share programs. Anyone can go on youtube and copy some schmuck's program online without understanding what each line of code does. Turtles, on their own, really aren't any more dangerous than Frames with an Ender Chest battery recharging...

    Teleporting options

    Yeah, which requires Crystals. Personally, I searched 70 worlds for Dense Ores (finally got it) and never got Crystals. Yup, I got dense ores before crystals. Communal Link Modifier is probably the best way. If you add the link book id to the Forestry Adventurer's Backpack, you can store...

    Why does pretty much every mod use MJ?

    Anyone who sits and waits for the stuff to pulverize/macerate is a cave-man. And, yes, I do have a Rotary Macerator and Induction Furnace, but I continue to use my TC stuff because the automation is superior. I can go do other things instead of waiting. To answer your question, most mods use...

    So, are you adding Infernal Furnaces to your ore processing line?

    THIS :) And yes, I meant Induction Smelter.

    So, are you adding Infernal Furnaces to your ore processing line?

    I probably will, eventually. Definitely need to cancel that Vis/Flux hit out. IF + Golems definitely seem like the way to go for smelting, since there aren't any "machine-specific" recipes, and the speed is reasonable, no backlog to deal with, and they're just about free. Probably modify my...

    Regarding FTB Beta Pack (Confusion)

    The Beta A Pack is being phased out. Switch to DW20 or Mindcrack, or wait for Ultimate.

    Best kind of armor

    Most people make an Ender Chest hooked up to an MFE. Then put some BC pipes or a Filter with a timer/delay clock that continually suck out items and spit them into the MFE, and takes items out of the MFE and puts them into the Ender Chest, forming a loop. Then carry around the corresponding...

    Best kind of armor

    I think you have Stealleaf a bit low. Yeah, it's not as durable, but it comes with a butt-load of enchantments when you craft it. Like projectile (helmet), blast (chestplate), fire (legs), and fall (shoes) resistance II enchantments. That said, it's hard to get.....

    I wouldn't call a link modifier end-game. Definitely not. The Link Modifier is chump change compared to the Gravisuit I built. Yes, it does cost a (stack + 8) diamond, and 9 gold. But if he splits the cost between all parties involved, it's not unreasonable (or cheats and admin-spawns one).

    [COMPETITION] Elevator that isn't an Elevator in DW20 v5

    People clearly aren't thinking outside the box. I still see elevators! Personally, I like a little chance of death in my elevator travel. Here's an idea for a 2x1 (claustrophobic) "elevator", though it could be expanded: 1. You put a Portal Spawner frame on the floor (no portal initially)...
