    Best Non-lava power source for FTB pack Unleashed

    Use Steve's carts to make a tree farm (or any mod that allows for tree farms) and smelt the logs into charcoal using electric furnaces. Then you can use the charcoal in generators. You might want multiple generators.

    Open Server ColabCraft|Ultimate 1.1.2|PvP,PvE Multiverse FIXED!!|Factions,Greif Prevention|Ts3|Few banned items!

    Haven't played long, but the server looks like it has alot of potential. It has some things to polish out, but I think with the way things are set up, it'll be pretty good. I play the PvP world and some of the things kinda ruin the PvP aspect when I look at them. For example, I would...

    Is oil now too rare?

    Extracting oil from oceans shouldn't be that hard, just place dirt or cobble around the spout and build a little platform for your pumping rig. Of course, you might want ender tanks.

    Gunpowder?

    Pulverize cobble for sand. Compress or auto-craft sand into sandstone. Pulverize sandstone, 10% chance for niter. Niter, coal dust and sulfur combined to make about 3 gunpowder (if I remember correctly) Have one of those gunpowder smelted into gunpowder. Mods needed: XyCraft Thermal...

    Is oil now too rare?

    I think oil is a good power source, but I think early game you might want to try something like steam engines or stirling engines. You can probably set up a tree farm easy. Might not be automated, but it's power.

    What is/were the reason's people don't like xycraft?

    I like xycraft, kinda sad it was removed. I heard it was a bunch of lag issues and xy-tanks disappearing and causing lag, not surprised though. The xy-quartz seems fairly polygon heavy compared to, well every block in Minecraft. Rendering it has to be laggy. The immense variety of ways and sizes...

    Twillight Forest Base

    Ender chests and quarries don't work well when they are in the same chunk. Pipe the items to a different chunk.

    EU production - Recommendations?

    A water tower is good 24/7 energy, although making all the water mills would be time consuming with GregTech. You could also use Steve's Carts to make a tree farm. Pump the logs into an auto-crafting table from BC for planks and pump the planks to generators. Once you have some initial power...

    What to do with 22k empty cells ?

    I think you can pulverize them for tin dust.

    Whats Better?

    Nano Sabre does 10 hearts of damage. Diamond Sword does 4.5, sharpness 5 diamond sword would do a random amount of damage between 7 and 10.5 hearts of damage, if I remember my numbers correctly. It's up to you though.

    How to keep IC2 cells when canning Fuel?

    I'm fairly confident you can stick the cells directly into a special generator if you have GregTech.

    I heard you liked Iridium

    But what if it is a hollow block? Only explanation for getting 4 planks from 1 log, so why not say that Steve makes a hollow cube out of stones?

    Chunk Loading Mining Turtle

    This might be a long-shot, but maybe it broke a silverfish block and a silverfish came out and it agroed a creeper to cause an explosion.

    Chunk Loading Mining Turtle

    Wait, does the turtle stop moving or does it actually break into item form on the ground for you to pick it up? If it just stops moving, probably something with the script. Just move the mining script to the startup file and it'll always mine until you terminate the program.

    Really? Google Chrome on my laptop says aluminum should be corrected to aluminium. Probably a localization thing like colour and color, right?

    I heard you liked Iridium

    The IUPAC adopted aluminium before recognizing aluminum as acceptable, as said in the first paragraph, which I am sure has reason for being before what Davy named it.

    What one addition or change would you make in the 1.6 FTB content?

    In all packs I would like to see if bspkr's mods could be in by default, as I am sure people will love them. Direction HUD probably wouldn't be usefull with a map mod like Voxel Map, but ArmourStatusHUD and StatusEffectHUD would be convenient for some people. I know with the IC2 electric...

    Actually, aluminium is correct. Aluminium was recognized as a correct spelling 3 years before aluminum. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium#Etymology

    Automatic Diamond Farm?

    Yea, I find it wierd too how some servers ban EE3, it's not entirely OP like EE2. But I would also like to add that you don't require an input of flint or obsidian. You can pulverize cobble and have a 10% chance of gravel from each one. Each gravel can be macerated for flint, and a cobble...
