    Recruiting Staff

    I completely agree.. Even close RL friends or players who have been loyally playing on your server from the start can stab you in the back. Power is a strange thing and no one really knows how they will handle it (If they can handle it at all) Ex WoWScape / ScapeGamming GM (World of Warcraft)...

    Non-FTB world as basis for an FTB world?

    Okay, I'm not sure if I fully understand what you want to do but here's what I'd do (And have done several times now) Create a new world using the FTB pack of your choice Check the Seed, check the world, make sure you are happy to call it "Home". Some worlds just aren't suitable for importing...

    You know you are playing too much FTB when....

    Honestly there are only two games that have actually effected me in this way: Portal: When I actually walked into my living room wall when trying to go upstairs That'll teach me for having white walls CoD: Subconsciously scanning the rooftops of every building looking for snipers And when I say...

    Thoughts on Teleportation

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts guys! I tend to agree with the majority of views here Infinite, cheap EU with little effort.. This is one of the things which completely imbalances IC2 and UU matter generation :( And, once invested in, it costs nothing to keep running almost indefinitely Imho...

    reading energy level from redstone energy cell

    FTB 1.4.2 It may not be pretty or exactly what you would like but it works flawlessly for turning off engines when the cell is full

    Mass Fabricator: In game or out?

    What I mean by "bodging" is simple changes (Such as doubling EU costs), increasing recipe costs or adding-in durability may fix that one problem but could also introduce a whole host of new problems and issues as-well as potentially punishing newer players who don't know all the tricks or THE...

    Thoughts on Teleportation

    This is an open discussion thread, there is no Right or Wrong here :) I have been giving teleportation a lot of thought recently. My first ever heavily modded minecraft world heavily utilized teleportation using both item and liquid teleport pipes, Thaumcraft 2 portals and enderchests. Yet...

    Mass Fabricator: In game or out?

    Okay: Step 1) Open the FTB Launcher Step 2) Click the "settings" Tab Step 3) Find the install folder and browse to it using your preferred file manager (Open the folder) Step 4) Open FTBBETAA->minecraft->config Step 5) Find the file named "GregTech.cfg" If for whatever reason this file is hidden...

    Mass Fabricator: In game or out?

    I honestly think IC2 can't be fixed by any bodging.. It needs an overhaul Even the core fundamentals like the eu "packets" allowing you to send 100,000,000's of EU through a single HV cable with some work and invincibility super-armor I actually think the problem here lies with HV solars...

    reading energy level from redstone energy cell

    Hmmmm.. Place a structure pipe beside the Redstone Energy Cell and place any Buildcraft Gate onto it. There should be a buggy conditional "Full energy" in the left box. Set it to output a redstone signal in the right box. Connect some redstone wire to you're ComputerCraft PC (Or just hard wire...

    trying to set up a oil pump

    I actually completely agree with you. Railcraft is VERY ore intensive. But honestly I'm against piping oil long distances using buildcraft pipes.. Almost as much as I'm against teleport pipes. If I were you I'd dump a ton of coal in a coke oven and go iron mining.. May take longer (Quite a bit...

    trying to set up a oil pump

    That's how they should work :D However I'm so used to buggy buildcraft I tend to input / output from the lowest tank (Any side, top or bottom). In theory it should work just as Mero says.. In practice.. Yeah ;) If it moves across several "chunks" (a chunk is a 16x16 block square) and travels a...

    trying to set up a oil pump

    As said by SilvasRuin you DON'T need a waterproof wooden pipe to draw water out of a pump However you do need one to draw liquid out of a buildcraft tank Back in Buildcraft 2 wooden pipes had a nasty habit of reversing your input/output when placed next to 2 inventories Or when placed beside a...

    trying to set up a oil pump

    I'm not sure what your question actually is.. :confused: But 4 redstone engines are more than enough to pump-out an oil well, you could even do it with one if you like. As for refining your first sip of fuel.. Well I usually manually power a single combustion engine with a single bucket of oil...
