    Making a Massive Lake

    Here are a few pics. I'm making a Silent Hill inspired adventure map. You start in this tunnel: But anyways, Here's my lake: Uuuuhg. Yeah this would onnly be a small corner. I set off a nuke (beneath the ice bridge) and then tried to make a lattice of ice blocks to melt. That just...

    Making a Massive Lake

    I'm using Direwolf. That liquid duplicator sounds cool though... too bad... :/ About the RP2 pump, where would I be pumping the water from? I dunno. I guess I could just make a giant pit of water somewhere and pump from that. The thing is, this thing will be so big it would be hard to cap...

    Making a Massive Lake

    Hey guys, So I'm making a massive lake in my mystcraft world. The world has no water in it. It also has no sun as it's overcast. It is a plains biome. I am in creative mode. I have been trying a few methods. So far I think the best one for me is using the wand of equal trade to transform...

    World Edit ! ??

    I know, I know, it's a foolish question, and it's probably been brought up before, but I must know! My friends and I have a Direwolf server, and we are into big builds. We had World Edit on our last Vanilla server, and we loved it. We are really missing it. I know it's probably difficult...

    LANDSCAPING

    Nah, I didn't see any lava or oil. I have a love hate relationship with this machine. WELL, I decided just to make a mystcraft age that would suit me better. It's mostly a Plains world, with "dark" selected as a modifier for lighting, and "overcast" for weather. Check it out! There are...

    LANDSCAPING

    I'm not sure what Im doing wrong. There isnt any lava or weird obstructions in the way. Why is the light red?

    LANDSCAPING

    So what do you guys recommend? the Terraformer and Filler? Have you guys ever used the Wand of Equal Trade like I have? It's great! Why isnt my Filler working?

    LANDSCAPING

    By the way, you guys, this Silent Hill is going to be EPIC. I built one in our Vanilla server a while ago. It was all underground. You take an exit in the subway and jump down a hole. The thing was basically a town underground. I took great care to line it with black wool and barricade the...

    LANDSCAPING

    I am right now struggling wit the dang filler. I'm trying to use it to help flatten the land by filling in the gaps between the high points in this field. The thing, as usual, is giving me grief. I have the pattern set, and the thing is fully powered and stocked with blocks. The light is red...

    LANDSCAPING

    Pics wouldn't show much, at the moment. I have my render distance set to short due to lag issues. I will most definitely take some soon though. I have tried the terraformer. I have used different TFBP's but the thing doesnt seem to be very effective. Maybe I'm using it wrong.

    LANDSCAPING

    This topic is about transforming and sculpting the land. I'm going to make Silent Hill. This calls for a lot of biome control. I have been scouring the map for the perfect spot. I need a biome that is pretty much like the Vanilla "plains." I'm going to set off a nuke and make the lake. I...

    The lag - I hate it. Tips for lag reduction?

    It's either my computer or the server. I know others complain about lag, but I don't know if they have the same kind as me. I do have optifine, and it is wonderful. I love optifine. It might be my computer though. I'm playing on a laptop. Its a very good one, and only a couple years old. But...

    The lag - I hate it. Tips for lag reduction?

    I guess there are different types of lag. The one that tortures me most is the one where you try to place a block and it sets down two or three. It almost ruins the game for me. I think our server is pretty young and healthy. Nobody is running any machines at the moment, and we banned chunk...

    Terraforming in the Nether? / Power Sources

    Thank you, so much! I've taken your advice. I'm making a nuclear reactor to power my machines in the twilight. If I end up spending more time in the nether I will do the same. Thanks for the thought-out response. I appreciate that. Of course, I also appreciate anyone who responds to my post...

    Mod/Item/Stuff Ideas

    " intense sadomasochism that is TFC"? lol. It sounds intense. So that's the only mod with those kinda leaves? Hmm. Well, Terrafirmacraft... I've never heard of it before. That's right up my alley. I love feeling rustic in MC. I love the biome mods for this reason. Do you know if either of...

    Terraforming in the Nether? / Power Sources

    So, as far as powering a terraformer, I just hook up the EU to it with a glass fiber cable? Can you even use a terraformer down there at all? Also, whats the best way to get the most EU in the Twilight Forest? I've fallen in love with electrical engines, and I'de love to use them in a...

    Terraforming in the Nether? / Power Sources

    I know its unlikely and maybe impossible. I don't know. I just discovered this machine. I think I read somewhere that it doesn't work there. At least not some of the settings. This is more a topic on power and engines than anything else. I already kinda knew it wont work. I wanted to see...

    Mod/Item/Stuff Ideas

    I know this may sound trivial, but I think it is something that has been overlooked. I propose... a mod where the leaf blocks are only semi-solid. Meaning, if you wanted to walk (or fall) through them, you could. Weather it would be slowly (like falling through cobweb) or fast (like sinking in...

    Railcraft Mob Farm?

    Ok... I can't get the embarking track to work. It's powered. It wont pick anything up. even when set to a radius of 5. It wont even pick me up. Did I miss something?

    Railcraft Mob Farm?

    I'm thinking maybe the embarking track for boarding, and then perhaps the disposal track to drop them? Maybe have a track in a loop?
