    Wither Skeletons

    In my experience, some strongholds are just unlucky. But between the 2 of them I'd have expected you to see at least one wither skeleton. Are you seeing normal spawn rates for other mobs? If so, I'd just recommend finding another stronghold. Once in awhile I'll find one spot where they just...

    Okay thanks. I'll check out those Deep storage units. Never played with them at all. Do they work with routers? I've been enjoying my routers lately.

    What is up with extra dimensional barrel upgrades in DW20 1.6.4? They're now called "deprecated" ones and theres no recipe. All I can craft is the bigger barrels. Is there another barrel storage upgrade that I'm missing? I hate having to start a whole new barrel to add storage space.

    Best method for sorting into barrels?

    I'm using routers for tons of new things in my current world and I really like them. No lag issues or weird bugs at all. I have an ender chest from my quarries feeding one with things that dont need to be smelted, and all those barrels are along one wall. Then I have pulverizers and furnaces...

    Peoples Favorite Starting Routines on a new server/world

    this is a good idea. I never really got a lot out of the TF because I go most everywhere else first, but maybe I'll try soemthing like this in my next world.

    This game sometimes...

    Once I went out to get some sheep without a map or bed. I got lost for 3 real life days and COULD NOT find my house for ages. It was so bad i just started over with the stuff I had on me. I created a new base and everything. Then after a few days when I was caving I dug straight up and lo...

    That is so op {a joke thread}

    Horses. I mean. come on. All you have to do is tame them. Then find a dungeon chest. Then find a saddle in one of them. Then you can ride them up hills and like, jump high and stuff. At least they can't swim good and die fast if you run into a cactus and get stuck. SO op.

    Power Gen in DW20 1.6.4.

    Right now I've got 2 steves carts tree farms feeding a sawmill. The planks feed an HP steam boiler which is currently powering some fermenters and stills to create biomass and then ethanol from the saplings. I havne't decided how to use that yet, I'm just letting it build up right now in...

    Tinkers Construct Hatchets

    Is that fortune 3 and auto smelting? Sounds awesome. I had a cobalt hammer with that in one world and it was awesome. Smooth stone for dayz.

    Tinkers Construct Hatchets

    The lumber axe alone is a good reason to have TC. You can make them out of stone or iron, throw max redstone (haste) on it, and have a great early game way to get a LOT of wood fast in the right biomes. If you haven't tried the lumber axe, you are missing out.

    Tinkers Construct Hatchets

    Oh yeah, thats right. I forgot about that. I think it also has a damage boost against undead IIRC.

    Tinkers Construct Hatchets

    Hatchet is most comparable to the vanilla axe for chopping wood, plus it chops leaves faster. Battle axe is a weapon that also chops down small trees when one block breaks. Could concievably replace both a sword and axe. Lumber axe cuts down trees up to 30 blocks vertically (I think thats the...

    Are Industrial steam engines able to output power to anything but buildcraft pipes? I tried leadstone and redstone energy conduits and the engines wouldn't face or output power to either of them. Its kindof a pain to have to use gold pipes for power again. I haven't used them for ages. BTW...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I've tried both methods. Sometimes nothing happens at all when I try through the launcher. If I manually rename them in the folder to disabled they then show as disabled in the launcher, but then if I create a new world, I've got the disabled mods in the game anyway. I've also tried...

    Why is optifine bad?

    I recently read where someone was saying that optifine is a bad thing to use. I dont use it now but have in the past and it did help my framerate. What is it that makes it a bad thing to use?

    Any building tips?

    You could watch youtubers for inspiration and change materials, colors, layouts, or biomes to make it "your own". The mindcrack guys frequently show how they build things and have good inspiration. Etho's floating islands from his FTB series was pretty impressive, but many of them inspire me.
