    Wither Skeletons & heads

    Step 1 : make flat mystcraft world (adding dungeons page would help too, but not essential). Step 2 : make 2 soul shards and kill 1 zombie and 1 skele with the soul shards on your hotbar so you have 1 kill of each in each shard. Step 3 : go to mystcraft world and go exploring. You are looking...

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    I like the way you've done the roof on the wood house. I'd have never thought of doing like that even though it's so simple! In your other pic, are those combustion engines actually doing anything? Visually it appears that you have the valves on the conduit set the wrong way round. :eek:

    Redstone energy cell continuous power drain.

    Not at all. Structure pipe on the machine with gate set to 'has work - redstone signal', stick an REC next to it that's connected on your conduit power, set REC to high redstone signal and it'll be off by default (along with the machine) and only switch on when the machine has something to do...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    You want the 'capacitor can store energy' setting. That's what I use on my IC generators. As soon as the red bar in the gennies drops a bit it emits a red pipe wire signal down to my REC which is attached to a wood pipe underneath my wood plank barrel. The REC is set to only operate at 3 MJ/t...

    Steve's Carts Tree Farm - despawning cart

    As bizarre as this may sound I think there is quite possibly some merit in this. Like you other guys, our cart has been merrily trundling around the track through the tree farm outside for over 2 months without any hiccups whatsoever, and that's after numerous config file re-installs, server...

    Can Mining Turtles Resume When Logging Back In?

    I agree - I prefer quarries too, especially being able to run them at max speed off our boilers, but they're pretty hard to beat when you're just starting out and don't have the 11 diamonds needed for a quarry or any of the other ancillary equipment to power them. The other advantages of the...

    Best way to use Biofuel?

    Indeed, just like the same over-exaggerations from certain parties about how "inefficient" it is and shouldn't be used because of its heat-up cycle. ;)

    Best way to use Biofuel?

    You should get some new batteries for your sarcasm detector. It appears not to be working. ;)

    Can Mining Turtles Resume When Logging Back In?

    Early game use in particular. Piece of piss to make with basic mats and with AustinKKs program linked above they're as fast as a quarry for ore mining. What's not to like? (apart from all those damned spiders in the 1 high spaces it leaves :rolleyes: - top tip : don't set it going under or...

    Steam Boilers vs IC2 EU generators.

    That sums up my thoughts too. It seems with this mod pack once you get something running smoothly and just how you want it after spending many real life days/weeks building everything and perfecting it, along comes the mod author and pulls the rug out from under you. Sengir will soon overtake...

    Can Mining Turtles Resume When Logging Back In?

    What size are you doing? I never have any issues at all but I keep the square no larger than 25. I've heard people have the yielding error when trying to do them at huge sizes like 64 square. You want to keep them on the small side because the turtle has to path from wherever it is and come back...

    Best way to use Biofuel?

    I don't know why some people get so worked up into a lather over the heat up phase of boilers and start screaming about inefficiencies. Seriously guys, give it a rest please. I think that even the dumbest player will know that they need a crap ton of fuel/solids to get their newly built boiler...

    Bee breeding question

    @ Maldroth I didn't really understand it tbh, but I'm thanking you for making the effort nonetheless. :) So back to these cultivateds - I put them through again (pure princess, shortest & shorter, with pure drone, shortest and shorter) and I now have a pure princess 2x shorter, and 2 drones...

    Bee breeding question

    OK, well I'll try recycling them a few more times as they are with chocolate frames and see if I can get them balanced out. I'll report back in a bit. ;)

    Bee breeding question

    But what happens if the cultivated princess is shortest and shorter and the drone is also shortest and shorter? From Mil's comment above "The resulting bee will pick the left allele from one parent and the right allele from the other parent, but not both times the left one or both times the...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Thanks. I have plenty of honey as I've got about 300 rockies from all the quarrying. How does one "breed in max fertility"? Is there something specific I need to do?

    Bee breeding question

    Yeah, that's how I know that they're not pure from looking at the other pages. So you advise recycling them over and over to get them pure rather than rolling back to commons? :confused:

    Bee breeding question

    So there's no way to get this cultivated pair have the same speed on both sides then? Am I understanding that right? I thought that you kept "recycling" them through the apiary and eventually you'll get the best you can, but that's not the case then? And I now need to roll back to another common...

    Bee breeding question

    What's the best way to get pure bees when breeding? I had a cultivated princess which was pure as far as cultivated goes, but the life-span was shortest and shorter. The queen that produced it also produced 3 pure drones, but 2 of them were shortest and shorter and the 3rd one was shorter...
