    Auto-repair armour?

    Wow, I do believe it's working. The stuff that ends up in the output chest isn't necessarily fully repaired, but that's ok... very clever stuff, Mister solidity.

    Auto-repair armour?

    Thanks for whipping up that repair script. I'd like to try it out, but I don't understand this sentence: "Place the turtle down, have one chest below, in front on top and to the left of it. Front chest is the input, left side is the output." Is that a total of four chests or two chests? "one...

    Auto-repair armour?

    My T5 zombie spawner generates a lot of damaged armour pieces, so I've got helms, chests, legs and boots of gold, leather, iron and chainmail, piling up all over the place. Because I'm a stingy bugger and can't stand to throw anything away, I've actually been manually repairing the pieces, and...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Is there any way to store music discs? I mean other than just sticking them in chests... sort of like what Bibliocraft does for books... any equivalent?

    What does YOUR Power Room look like?

    [/spoiler] Wow... just... wow. That, building design, sir, is awesome.

    Seeking block/texture advice for flooring [aesthetics]

    Lead blocks: good idea, I hadn't thought of lead at all. It looks techy, but it's dark, so I'll probably use it only for accents/variety. AE drives: look great, but too expensive... but you gave me a great idea! Computercraft disk drives! They are perfect. 7 stone and 2 redstone dust is...

    Seeking block/texture advice for flooring [aesthetics]

    Yeah, so as for the stone slabs, I do like the "cleanliness" of them, but stone says dungeon more than it says imperial base. To me, anyway. As for Soartex, it is good, I tried it for a bit, but got some weird visual results... I might post some pics at some point. Aluminum blocks (both...

    Seeking block/texture advice for flooring [aesthetics]

    I can never quite find the right block I want to use for flooring. Well, actually I can, it would typically be one of the metals... iron or tin are good, but I just dont have enough of either to lay down entire floors with it, even if I microblock them down to covers. Kind of related to the...

    Zen and the art of Mining

    That looks pretty cool... is that a minimap view or something?

    Zen and the art of Mining

    A while ago, someone in a thread (I think it was Saice) mentioned how he liked digging looong straight tunnels, found it quite relaxing, almost a sort of meditation. And just now, I was sitting here for the nth time, *manually* draining yet another giant puddle-o-lava from underneath my home...

    Unique Energy, Your Set-Ups and Plans.

    Like most methods, this has been done before, of course, but I still find it amusing/interesting: the zombie juicer. Set up a tier 5 zombie soul shard, pipe the rotten flesh into an industrial centrifuge (or many centrifuges, if you want to use it as a real power source) which will give you...

    GT Distillation Tower

    I actually have a "wall of Gregtech"... shared casings between an industrial blast furnace, industrial grinder, and implosion compressor. I think it's as optimised as possible. :)

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    Here's my WIP, not-quite-a-base-yet, mad-scientist-lair-to-be project. It's basically a base in a volcano, but with a twist. I'm awestruck by some of the bases in this thread, and I'm nowhere near those levels. But I wanted to do something a little different, and interesting (to me anyway...

    My multifarm won't... farm

    First attempt at a multifarm. I read up on it, watched a video, did everything I'm supposed to (I think). This all-manual multifarm hydrates dirt that I put up, but it doesn't seem to do anything else. It even planted some carrots, which the forestry web page says that manual farms won't do...

    Epic Fail stories

    The TLDR version: My combustion engine blew up. It was next to 3 other engines... and a lot of other stuff. I'm still fairly new at all this, so a lot of stuff from various mods is a first-time experience for me. In this case, I had my first ever SC2 tree farm -> fermenter -> still ->...

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    I really like that idea. Was considering it myself a while ago, but haven't gotten around to re-doing my base (yet again... I should really stop reading this thread... :) ). Nicely done.

    Gunpowder

    Except that it's not in NEI. At least not in mine. I just checked. Must be one of those "secret" recipes.

    AE ate my diamonds :(

    Sure, but it's so simple, there's not really much to show. The portal from the portal gun is, about 20-30 blocks away on my left. It's actually on the wall of a giant 12x12x12 Xycraft tank.

    AE ate my diamonds :(

    Yeah, and in fact the portal was moved around at various points.

    AE ate my diamonds :(

    Yeah I hear you. I'm not sure how exactly to reproduce it, but I may end up trying. I actually have save games going back several days, I'm playing on Linux, and I use rdiff-backup to do incremental backups of my world so I can go backwards in time if need be. Maybe I'll try a few days ago...
