    Do players actually like emulated computers in minecraft?

    If you're writing any such mod in the hopes that it is wildly popular and/or widely used, I think you may be disappointed, as many people have pointed out. "Niche" languages will only appeal to hobbyists and CompSci geeks (I count myself in that group). Having said that, I'd love to see a Lisp...

    Mo Creatures and your "server" experience...

    I stopped using Mo' Creatures mainly on account of the ogres. I do appreciate the extra challenge of the werewolves and even the ogres to some extent, but yeah... it gets really annoying when they pop out of nowhere and just break everything to bits. The spawn rates were also out of control...

    What's that texturepack? I've seen it, just can't quite recall which on it is...

    Buffer space on thermal generator? or pipes... or...

    I have a RP2 pump leading to a 5x5 iron tank, which links to another 3x3 tank. Both have been pumped chock-full of lava. The 3x3 tank connects to a thermal generator, which is parked next to an MFSU. Everything is working great. In fact, too great. I don't see the lava quantities in either...

    What is worth silk touching?

    Yeah please do, I refer to your guide all the time. Great job. :)

    making an auto EXP farm help

    What's the spawn range of a soul cage? Is it the same as a vanilla spawner (ie: 8x3x8)?

    Question about pumping out a flat lava lake

    I have a fair-sized, flat pool of lava source blocks that I'd like to "relocate", and I don't want to do it manually via the bucket-brigade or tin-cell-brigade. So I figure the best bet is to use a Redpower pump and grate. I've never tried this before though, and I'm wondering... if I position...

    The rainbow oak... to chop or not to chop?

    Those aren't philosopher stones, they're soul shards (Sphax BDcraft texture pack). I recently started checking out the Soul Shards mod for the first time, so while I'm out and about, I keep a soul shard for each of the "common" hostile mobs on the old action bar. You know, just to stock up. I...

    The rainbow oak... to chop or not to chop?

    So I ended up with a rainbow oak from the Twilight Forest, without even knowing it. It's very pretty and all, but it's gone and gotten planted right in the middle of an area that I was planning to cultivate for farming/crops, etc. I can't find a heck of a lot of info about it, except that it's...

    RP Wind turbine, optimal height?

    Yeah, it's hooked up to a transformer at the top, and another one at the bottom. It all works well enough, just that as I said, I was hoping for more. It's probably just because I'm sinking all the power into a magma crucible. :)

    RP Wind turbine, optimal height?

    Hi, Does the RP2 wind turbine improve its output based on height? I currently have one set up at Y:100 and it seems... ok, power-wise, but I was hoping for better. I know that it varies based on weather as well. Would it make sense for me to jack it up another 50 levels or so? I have it...

    My Logistics Pipes/Tube sorting and storage system!

    I second that question. A link to whatever LogPipes version you're using would be much appreciated.

    Favorite and most hated machines?

    That's what corners are for. :)

    Good grief... block of iron = circular recipe hell?

    Yeah... so after another dance of "hmm... I need titanium dust to make titanium ingots... ok that makes sense, where do I get titanium dust? Why, from macerating titanium ingots of course...", I've gone and disabled everything I could in the Gregtech config. I'm officially anti-Gregtech now...

    Good grief... block of iron = circular recipe hell?

    @SilvasRuin: Yeah but I haven't started with any IC2 machinery. I know I could, but I was going a different route. @OmegaPython: Thanks... I think I'm understanding why some people are annoyed by GregTech... In any case, that still doesn't explain why the recipe hints are all circular. Try...

    Good grief... block of iron = circular recipe hell?

    Ok so assuming I'm not missing something obvious... the vanilla recipe for the "Block of Iron" is gone. I'm trying to make an anvil, and so I need 3 blocks of iron, and so I need... wtf... all these sub blocks from Redpower 2. Now, try following the trail to figure out where to start to get...

    Worldgen bug or I've wound up next to the deathstar trench

    That did indeed fix it. I'm actually a little disappointed. :)

    Worldgen bug or I've wound up next to the deathstar trench

    Hmm... note the giant, regular shaped slice taken out of the world: I'm tempted to start building next to it. Lookit all the twinkly lights down there!

    Huzzah for FTB, and a lumberjack question

    So three cheers for the team for the first 1.4.6 pack, I'm certainly happy. One question... why do none of these packs have anything like Timber! or Treecapitator? I for one can't bear cutting down trees ever since I discovered those two mods. I know I can add them myself, but I'm just...
