    Help with oil production using bees (Mindcrack 8.3.2)

    Hello all, Just a quick question regarding automating a set up using bees to produce oil and/or biofuel. I have bred Refined bees and I'm using Alvearies along with frames to get oily and petroleum propolis. Because I like the apiarist pipe, I've been doing this with BC pipes, but it is a huge...

    Redstone Energy Cells (Mindcrack 8.3.2)

    Hello all, I've been doing some testing with RECs and I'm very confused by some of the results I'm getting. I have 8 magmatic engines hooked up to a single redstone energy conduit output. That *should* be 32MJ/t. I had a REC placed after some machines to charge and take with me places, but I...

    Upgrading to Magic Bees

    Hello all, just a quick question. Now that Thaumic Bees has turned into Magic Bees, what does that mean for the various packs that use TB? I play on a server running Mindcrack 8.3.2, which still has TB. I know that the author (MysteriousAges on MCF) posted a guide for migrating to the new mod...

    Biofuel boiler still viable? (Mindcrack 8.3.2)

    Hello all, So I've never actually gone the biomass->biofuel setup before and I was looking for some renewable energy solutions (keeping in mind, I play Mindcrack on a server) so I decided to try my hand at a SC/Biomass/Biofuel/Boiler setup. Now I know I've read here previously that this is...

    Shaders and NEI Spawn Chunks

    Hello all, I was playing around with installing shaders today and noticed something peculiar. No matter which shader I used, it seems to disable NEI's overlay that shows spawnable areas (The one shown when you hit F7.) Anyone know what might be causing this? Is there a way I can edit the...

    Base and Spawn in SMP

    Just curious what others do. Being that the area around spawn always stays loaded, do you tend to build a base near there so that you get a "free" chunkloader? Generally when I'm starting out, I like to scout an area that has cool landscape nearby as well as trees. I don't really put much...

    XP Farm question

    Is there any particular spawner/soul shard that works best as an XP farm? Also, any good tutorials out there? I'm playing Mindcrack 8.2. I do recall seeing a couple of XP farms in some of the Mindcrackers' videos, but I don't recall ever seeing a tutorial on how it was made. I'm also not sure...

    No more diamonds from coal?!?! (Mindcrack 8.2.0)

    Okay, someone point out where in the changelog this one happened or if this was a stealth update that I missed. I just tried turning a stack of coal into a diamond using the macerator to dust, combine with flint, compress, combine with obsidian, compress again, and .... industrial diamond is...

    Soul Shard question

    Hello all, Just a quick question regarding Soul Shards. I've made a couple and they seem to be tallying up the kills. I know a Soul Stealer enchant will help, but I haven't gotten that far yet. Today I wound up taking a trip to the Nether and I had a blank shard on me. So I killed a Blaze and...

    VoxelMap - Do not want!

    Okay, so am I the only one who doesn't like the fact that Rei's MiniMap was replaced with VoxelMap? I just updated to Mindcrack 8.2.0 and was greeted with this giant welcome message/config for VoxelMap. Okay, not a big deal. I wondered what happened to Rei's, but figured I'd give it a chance...

    Automated farming without fertilizer?

    Hello all, I think I'm suffering from too much information. I'm trying to find out a way to get some automated energy production going earlier on in the game. I prefer IC to BC, though I have a mix of a few machines right now. I was thinking of getting into Biofuel production because it's...

    Does FTB support custom skins?

    Hello all, This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find the answer anywhere. Does FTB support custom player skins? If so, how do we use them? I know we can install texture packs through the FTB Launcher, but I couldn't find a section for skins. I'm assuming it's possible because...
