    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    So, I'm trying to make some very basic magical items (golden wand caps, greatwood core), and it's telling me I have insufficient vis. Does this have anything to do with the node I pickaxed earlier (thus destroying it), or is this like infusion crafting in Thaumcraft 3 and I have to toss some...

    Is there any way to change the biome from Eerie back to Savanna (what the surroundings are)?

    So, I'm playing with Thaumcraft 4 for the first time, and I just decided to mine one of those Obsidian Totems. This time, though, when I mined the top block, it made a weird noise, had a burst animation, and dropped some essence. What did I just screw up, and how badly?

    In Thaumic Tinkerer 1.08 (the last version for 1.5 and Thaumcraft 3), does the Soul Mould distinguish between adult mobs and baby mobs of the same type? Would be an easy animal farm setup if I could just whisk all the babies off somewhere upon birth. (The Soul Mould is a filter for the Advanced...

    Just checked the cells I have in NEI, and unfortunately no MFR liquids there either. And although I don't have Buildcraft tanks, I do have the Railcraft tank cart. So I'll see what I can do with liquid loaders and that. EDIT: Liquid Loaders work! Excellent!

    Good point; basically this is an MJ-free tech modpack. In addition to MFR (and mods I know have no liquid-related items, like Iron Chests) I have IC2 and several addons (but not Gregtech), Redpower (and Tubestuff), Computercraft (and MiscPeripherals), and Railcraft (with several modules...

    1.4.7 How do I remove liquids like sludge and mob essence from MFR machines without using Buildcraft pipes? I'm using a modpack I threw together without Buildcraft, and so far that's the only major problem I've having.

    That's what I tried with the cobblestone setup (and just now again with the charcoal just to be sure). I tried setting it to both Anystack Sequential and Allstack Sequential with one charcoal in the first three columns (marked blue, green, and red), and even when I fed them through one at a time...

    I can't have them all connected to the same block, since the tubes have to connect to the bottom of the generators. Although I could try having five relays connect to the same tube and have each relay lead to one generator if I can't think of anything else. Hopefully there's something more...

    Thanks! It worked flawlessly (and was very easy to set up, just a matter of clicking the GUI a few times). I'll definitely remember this for other applications and later-game systems, it's really pleasing how easy and clean that method is. I guess my question now becomes is there another way to...

    Ultimate 1.4.7 How do I get charcoal from one electric furnace spread evenly to multiple generators using pneumatic tubes? Right now I just have a transposer feeding out of the furnace into the tubes to the generators, and it's only feeding the generator closest.

    Dartcraft and the force wrench

    Portal Guns can move chests around too, although they apparently stay oriented the direction they were before when you place them, no matter what direction they're oriented when they're picked up.

    The point of bees?

    I'm just about to start my first attempts at bee breeding (got lots of Meadow bees and honey combs stored up, as well as some silky combs for the eventual apiarist's suit), and I have no idea what I'll actually be trying to accomplish. So I'm using them for fun and for another challenge to...

    Do you struggle with "convenience" cheating?

    I usually end up cheating in items like wool and raw chicken, items that take no skill to get, to trade with the villagers wanting them. I'll also sometimes delete whatever amount of resources is needed to craft an item and then cheat in that item if I'm down in a cave somewhere and don't have a...

    Buildcraft pipes DW125 1.1.6

    No, no, I meant the DSU. See which side of that the gold pipe is going into and make sure it's designated as an input side in the DSU's interface. By default, the top and bottom sides are where you would pipe the items in.

    Any good automatic sugar cane farm?

    It's ridiculously satisfying to see golems running around doing my bidding. In a vanilla world I made a branch mine with branches on one side of the main tunnel and a minecart rail on the other with loading stations every 32 blocks. I made it so I could just dump the ores I mined into a chest to...

    Buildcraft pipes DW125 1.1.6

    Did you change the side the pipe was on to an input side? I had the same problem with a quarry in Ultimate spewing cobble everywhere out of the pipe instead of into the DSU, and it was because I had forgotten to adjust that.

    Building tips for my lab/factory

    And if you use the Obscurator (was planning to make that a link to the FTBwiki page, but apparently I haven't made enough posts to be allowed that option yet) it does match it 100%! Not only that, you can make any side look like a separate block if you want. So you can have something like brick...

    Building tips for my lab/factory

    Soartex is absolutely fantastic. Iron blocks look great in that pack (I loved how iron jacketed wires would look in Ultimate, they'd look like air ducts). Tinkers' Construct black stained glass looks pretty awesome for modern windows. Connected texture, so no frames in the middle, and very...
