    Cursed Earth Room and Spiders.

    Actually spiders need a 3x3 clear space to spawn in, so you don't need as many slabs. (Spiders are 2x2, but spawn at the centre of the centre block of a 3x3 space.)

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    My DW20-1.7.10 base so far: I'm using the same world seed as Dire and sort of loosely following his single-player but I'm trying to be "inspired by" rather than copying. And I've set up a basic AE system already because I just can't live without AE now. Channels aren't quite as annoying as I...

    QuarryPlus with Silktouch and Fortune 3

    Click on the "new QuarryPlus" link just above that.

    Logistic pipes and Barrels

    Barrels got nerfed a while ago (afaik) -- all/most of the mods that used to be able to do sneaky things from one side can't do it any more. Instead you have to go back to treating the top and bottom as special (ie. the provider module/pipe has to be on the bottom of the barrel now). Reportedly...

    How to sort safari nets?

    The problem is that there's too much data variation between individual mobs, even of the same type. Most of the basic sorting mechanisms will treat items as different if ANY part of the NBT data is different (or will ignore the NBT entirely). Neither of that is what you want. Your only hope...

    How to sort safari nets?

    Do you mean separating filled nets from empty ones? Have you tried using TE itemducts, with a filter set to white/blacklist the empty nets and with "ignore NBT data" turned off? That ought to do it. If you mean sorting filled nets that contain the same mob type (eg. separating creepers from...

    Different ways to transport Items, Power, and Fluids?

    Sounds like you've got an id conflict. Are you using one of the base modpacks, or have you added other mods to one, or made your own from scratch?

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    You might get lucky and find them in village gardens. I know that's a good way to find carrots and potatos if you don't get them from smacking zombies around.

    Is there a problem or bug with TE3 tesseracts and fluids?

    I've mentioned in another thread that I've had the opposite problem with tesseracts -- whenever I try to use one to transport fluid it just disappears into nowhere (goes out of the source but never arrives at the target). No problems with items or energy, even through the same tesseract.

    Different ways to transport Items, Power, and Fluids?

    Ender chests and tanks, of course. TE Portable Tanks can be filled with fluid and transported as items (though that's slower). OB Tanks can do the same.

    Best tool to fix this problem?

    I think you can just delete the chunk entirely in MCEdit, then the next time you go near that chunk in-game it should regenerate it including the mod generation.

    Using a turtle to place an Enderquarry fence

    If you don't label your turtles they'll lose their fuel and programs if you break them. They might also lose them if the chunk unloads (but I don't think that's the case). If it's not moving it's a pretty good sign that it's out of fuel. You can check how much it has by using the "refuel"...

    CAN'T FIND REDSTONE OR DIAMONDS!

    Are you sure about that? I'm pretty sure I've gotten 20 diamonds from a 4-ore pocket before. That's much better than double.

    What mod/config in monster adds the quick despawn for leaves?

    Could be TreeCapitator. Not sure if it's in Monster (it's not in DW20, which is what I use, though its config is). I think that does something similar to the AotS using vanilla axes. Some people consider it cheating though.

    What mod/config in monster adds the quick despawn for leaves?

    The only one I know of is that using an Axe of the Stream from Thaumcraft will decay leaves faster. It'll take you quite a bit to get one of those legit in skyblock, though, unless you get lucky with the reward bags.

    Best and Most Efficient Way to Convert RF to EU?

    That's what I meant by "the usual".

    Does Ender Quarry work with Buildcraft pipes?

    Best ender quarry setup is just the quarry touching an item/energy tesseract. Filter out the cobble on the receiving side, or just throw it into a DSU. You're going to need a lot of cobble anyway if you want to make a Deep Dark portal, or for a bunch of other things. (I made a turtle to set...

    How do you light up your base?

    That's a great idea. If that works on inverted lamps too, it'd be perfect.

    Best and Most Efficient Way to Convert RF to EU?

    I haven't tried this, but you could try making an Oil Fabricator, and then do the usual to make EU from the oil. But I usually just make Steam Turbines when I want EU.

    Setting up my first oil refinery -- help :O

    I made a max size Xycraft tank for steam back in 1.4 days, just for kicks. It was almost always empty, but when power usage backed off far enough it would start to fill. It was a nice indicator that it was time to turn some power sinks on. (Often a sign that my quarry had finished.)
