    FTB Infinity Skyblock 1.7.10 Help, Venting and Discussion Thread

    There's a couple ways to do it, but the easiest is probably to just use an auto compressor from Ex Compressium.

    Direwolf20 season 7 - Huzzah!

    I was clearing out some space with a horn of the wild last night. Bwoooo... Breaking grass noises. Pop...pop pop pop. Pneumaticcraft plants everywhere. The whole "dropped seeds make new plants" idea is easily the worst idea in modding in the last year.

    Whitelist Server New Server | [1.7] DireWolf20 1.0.0 | TeamSpeak 3 | 21+ Only

    IGN: CodaPDX Age: 30 Experience with FTB: I know my way around most of the major mods pretty well, but I specialize in Thaumcraft and Blood Magic. I'm also a pretty decent aesthetic builder. Some shots of my base on the previous server I played on: http://imgur.com/t9kO6dC...

    How do I get Iridium?

    There are asteroids in the end with sheldonite in them. Toss that into an industrial grinder and you'll get platinum and iridium.

    [0.5.1] Technomancy Discussion-Ore processing like a boss

    I believe the base rate for input and output from an altar is 20 mB/sec, and 1 mB = 1 LP. Each Rune of Dislocation adds another 20 mB/sec to the transfer rate. And yeah, making altar recipes into fluid transposer recipes kind of defeats the point of the mod. You're trying to enhance magic...

    [0.5.1] Technomancy Discussion-Ore processing like a boss

    A well of suffering does the same thing with gain. But I guess if you come up with something that requires a supply of liquid blood and you want to install it a ways away from your altar, then a "blood condenser" or something like it would make sense.

    [0.5.1] Technomancy Discussion-Ore processing like a boss

    If you're going to cross over with Blood Magic, how about powered blood extraction and injection for altars? That lets us get around that pesky input buffer, and then you can use the blood in the fluid transposer or have it interact with the other TE fluids (freezing on contact with cryotheum...

    [0.5.1] Technomancy Discussion-Ore processing like a boss

    Neat mashup of the dynamo and blood altar there. You know you can put Lava Crystals into Steam Dynamos for LP - > RF, though, right? I guess you could make it more powerful, since it's running off the actual liquid (which is harder to manage), but that's kind of boring.

    Is "Blood Magic" Overpowered?

    Pretty much what Dave said. That said, unless you’ve got a truly epic steam engine array or are dropping meteors every 15 minutes or so, two or three wells full of witches generates more than enough LP for even the most intense crafting. Well, I never said the wither was hard. :P

    Is "Blood Magic" Overpowered?

    The dagger of sacrifice doesn't work with fake players. I've done the early game lava crystal smelting thing. One lava crystal in one steam dynamo, trickling power into a hardened energy cell. Every so often I'd grab my sacrificial knife and some potions and go fill up my LP network at my T2...

    Is "Blood Magic" Overpowered?

    Serenade of the nether is easily one of the more balanced things in the mod. It costs 500 LP per bucket of lava, which isn't all that much, but if you're relying on it to power anything more than a couple dynamos it becomes very, very easy to run out of power if you don't have any passive LP...

    Is "Blood Magic" Overpowered?

    I've gone fairly deep into blood magic, and it's quickly become one of my favorite mods. I do have some reservations, though. Zerging your way through the early game is an issue. I'd recommend having a penalty associated with death - maybe emptying any nearby altars, taking a hit to your LP...

    Botania - Runic Altar Help

    So here's my setup. I'm trying to make runes of fire, but I can't get the altar to accept mana from the mana spreaders. I've placed the ingredients on the altar and right clicked with my wand, but nothing is happening. The spreaders are just staying full. Any idea what I might be doing...

    Beginner's Guide to Blood Magic

    It's also fairly trivial to set up a small mob spawner above your altar in a similar kind of setup (or set your altar up underneath one from a vanilla dungeon). Hostile mobs also give about 5 times more LP than an animal.

    Beginner's Guide to Blood Magic

    You can place the altars right next to each other so that they share two beacons and a row of runes, to cut down on the overall cost a bit. If you want to, you can even place the altars right next to each other so they almost completely overlap on two of their sides. As long as each altar sees...

    Beginner's Guide to Blood Magic

    I have four T5 altars at the moment. Two of them have wells of suffering sucking the LP from a dozen witches beneath them, and have 26 displacement runes and the rest sacrifice runes. Another altar is optimized for filling my LP network, and has 13 displacement runes and the rest runes of the...

    Beginner's Guide to Blood Magic

    Actually a mod that expands the difficulty and challenges available would be amazing. Demonic temples spawning as worldgen, villages with demonic overlords that sacrifice villagers, mobs that seek to infiltrate your base and leech the blood from your altar, spirits that feed off your LP...

    Beginner's Guide to Blood Magic

    Yeah, once you have some decent infrastructure set up with a well of suffering, making stacks upon stacks of slates and runes is really no big deal. http://i.imgur.com/rZ2THQw.png I like the texture of blood runes, so I use them as a building material. :D Interesting factoid - I've burned...

    Hi, guys. I've just started to play with the options available in Blood Magic's new spell system, and I thought it would be cool if there was a place where we could share our favorite spell combinations. Here are ones I've found so far. Self > Fire > Environment - Sets the area around you on...
