    ars magica soon in direwolf pack?

    Personally I hope he DOESN'T add it to his pack. It defeats the whole purpose of the magic pack. If people want to play it then they can use the magic pack. It will certainly be getting removed in the config here if he does add it.

    Maximum Efficiency Steeve Cart Tree Farm TRACK Design?

    Not necessarily and I had already considered that before making my reply. From experience with mine what often happens is if 1 tree has grown and not yet been harvested then when the adjacent one grows it sprouts into a super tree. I have not done any tests but I would be willing to place a...

    Tree breeding - Need more apples!

    Forestry saps don't with with Stevie's carts though Drav, hence being forced down the multi-farm path if you want to keep your biomass production level up (unless you increase your current SC set-up by 4x size). :(

    Maximum Efficiency Steeve Cart Tree Farm TRACK Design?

    Have you actually used a SC tree farm? I guess not. If you had you'd know that the leaves do not decay, they are stripped off the trunk in layers by the wood cutter and any saps that would've dropped from them are deposited in the cart so it does not matter how close the trees are to each...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Not sure about other packs but in DW20 I find tons of copper around sea level, 60-65 ish. Coal and iron you get anywhere under sea level (and above with coal, not sure about iron), tin between Y30-50 mostly. For vanilla emeralds you want extreme hills biomes.

    Quarries and oceans

    I don't know where I read it, but I was under the impression that making quarries in oceans was considered to be a very bad idea due to the thousands of flowing water blocks it leaves behind. I also vaguely seem to recall reading somewhere not that long ago that this 'issue' has since been...

    AE and finding quartz ore

    OK thanks. Found a big cavern system but it's not as common as I was hoping for. Well, it's not everywhere like Soaryn blocks anyway. I think I'll have to pull out the big boys toys aka quarries! :D

    AE and finding quartz ore

    To those of you playing DW20, where have you been finding the bulk of your quartz ore? The AE wiki simply states "between sea level and diamond level" which is rather vague. Y35 a good bet then or should I be focusing my attention on other levels? Does it spawn in mystcraft ages if I...

    Steve's Carts Tree Farm - despawning cart

    You don't need to give them that much space. They will grow just fine in a 8 block tall space if you so wish. After moving mine underground I've now moved them back outside again as I was getting some serious FPS issues and world hole issues with them underground, which I thought was odd as I...

    (Redstone Energy Conduit) Can someone explain the 5% loss?

    Not sure I understand what you mean here. What is conduit physical limit? I have a loop of conduit all the way round my base which is being fed around 1100 MJ/t from industrial steam engines. Connected to the loop in various places are some of your machines and forestry machines, some energy...

    Tree breeding - Need more apples!

    Given the 300 pages of complaints about the introduction of the multi-farms which was closely followed by another 10 pages of complaints about the removal of the old style farms, a far better option would be to leave the farms, bees and trees as they are and let people adjust the config files...

    Steve's Carts Tree Farm Arrangement

    If you imagine the 4 sections on the manager being sections 1-4 from top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right. Have sections 1, 2 and 4s arrows pointing towards the manager in the middle and select the icon which shows a chest for one. On section 3 have the arrow the other way round so...

    (Redstone Energy Conduit) Can someone explain the 5% loss?

    Is this true? King Lemming can you confirm? If so then I am losing a ton of energy from my array of HP boilers... :(

    Tree breeding - Need more apples!

    Jeff, there was some discussion about it in this thread if you go back a couple of pages: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/steam-boilers-vs-ic2-eu-generators.16613/page-4#post-194521 Personally I'm not happy about it (as you'll see from my post) because - like poppycocks - I don't like...

    How do you fly fast using Modular Powersuit?

    Nice! I didn't know that. By the way, is the "static generator" mentioned on your site actually called the "kinetic generator" in game, or am I going to get shouted at again for using an outdated version of the mod where the name has since changed? :oops:

    How do you fly fast using Modular Powersuit?

    Looking at the speed the waypoint marker distance is coming down that seems to be comparable to the speed of my set-up above. Do you find jetboots make any difference to the speed? I've tried it both with and without them and I'm not seeing any difference in speed? :confused: What weight is...

    Tree breeding - Need more apples!

    How many apples do you need and for what? I was running a slight deficit on apples (for mulch for my fermenters) when I was running a single SC tree farm but I had quite a sizeable track and only 1 cart. What I've done now is made 4 carts on 4 separate tracks in an E shape and with 2 water-fed...

    How do you fly fast using Modular Powersuit?

    My entire suit including power tool is 20 kg. Another guy on the server was bragging about how fast he could fly. We had a mini race and I flew past him like he was stood still. :D To answer the inevitably asked question : Helmet : 0 kg. - Special : - - Energy : solar generator - Enviro ...

    Coolest Twilight Forest Feature

    The lag you're getting is probably from the trees in TF. Huge amounts of leaves do cause lag (especially if you're using fancy graphics setting) and I do get memory leaks there where all the textures go funny colours and I have to restart the client. As for the coolest TF feature, for me it...
