Sorry man I'm not really sure. I carved out a 2x2x30-long shaft and didn't bother looking at what I was getting. I ended up with mostly tin and just 1 cassiterite and I didn't see what its texture was. ( and I've already smelted it)
[1.7.10][LISTED] InfiTech 2 Modpack v3.2.21 [HQM][GregTech balanced hard-mode modpack]

If you want to play on (my) 1.7.10 version of this pack, you're welcomed to join my server. GT really, really benefits from multiple people working towards the same goal.
What a gent! Thank you very much for that offer, kind sir. But for all this,
A hose, a hose... My gaming machine for a hose! Which is presently hosed :-/ (apologies to that bard!)

^^ screenshot it the next time please. (friendly liberty mode: or else you will get a kick on that backside from us)
friendly what now?
I decided not to do pics, otherwise I'd move my spam over to the showcase thread. Tempting, but I do my spam from work, so I dont have screenshots anyway.
You lost me friendForgot to reply to that one earlier....
^^ friendly "boop" mode
^^ Seen my brother-in-law wade through bees for weeks, and throw things at his screen in frustration at it. Every time I get tempted, I play that mental image, and the "bee in the bonnet" feeling passes.
You lost me friend
^^ Heavens be praised. I remembered a meme. My kick in the back was a metaphor. In all likelihood, that would be a "boop" in reality...
This is what I think of when someone writes "kick" and "boop"
^^ Yup. I was exactly like that myself, until a few younger members on these forums told me what modern day "boop" is
Before one even begins bees, one must accept most attempts will be failures and success is measured in days or weeks.[DOUBLEPOST=1409765293][/DOUBLEPOST]
I doubt anyone would confuse me as a "younger member", lol.

Yup. It was the third week when things went flying towards the screen.
"Touche" for that last line. same goes for me too (does "young at heart" feeling count?).
Guys, how the hell do I get redstone dust?
I have impure redstone, crushed redstone, and redstone ore. None of which can be furnaced. Going nuts.[DOUBLEPOST=1409787168][/DOUBLEPOST]nevermind, I'm supposed to "throw it into cauldron to get dust".
Thanks for nothing NEI

OK, so I sort of had a need for redstone last night, and am very glad @Pyure shared his knowledge. Made a cauldron, put water in it just for the heck of it, and cleansed all of my ores (including Redstone) that needed to be cleansed. Interestingly, it didn't use (consume) any of the water in the cauldron. I wonder whether the water is really necessary.
Found a swamp biome last night, waited until night, and fursiously fought off zombies, skeletons, and creepers so I could get a shot at slimes. Killed a few slimes. Made it home and built a few Railcraft 3x3x3 (hollow) wood+slime+iron tanks. 'Infinite water' problem has been abated for now. This *should* be enough for quite a lot of steam, a Forestry multifarm, etc.,.
Now, if I can only find enough copper and tin...
At the current rate, I may find enough small copper and tin ores from just wandering around to at least enter the bronze age. Can't wait to start smelting so I'm not wasting so much copper. I've found tons of other ores, though, and most of them are Tier 2, ex. Nickel. Also, lots of iron. Found a huge iron vein at around Y=15.
Amazingly, Cobalt is pick-able with a stone or flint pickaxe and is a level 3 ore and is vanilla smeltable ! I've made some amazing tools with cobalt ingots and plates.
I'm not sure if this is a GT 5 for 1.7.2 thingy or a GT 5.x for 1.7.10 thingy.
Oh, and I found a very nice diamond vein Interesting how GT 5 diamond is an ore, and when picked, drop an ore block. You then smelt/macerate/etc.,. to extract the diamond. In this era, the yield is 1 for vanilla smelting. In later eras, it looks like the yield is over 2x per ore.

I guess hes going stand alone now, but the weird part is ... im also enjoying this, boy am i masochistic, do i need help? lol. (j/k, but it is fun)
NEI seems to be, incomplete at best and buggy as hell - isolate forestry items, click to learn a recipe, NEI throws AE2 and thaumcraft into my selection complete with dithering items every time i click on something to see what it is - either alot of recipes are banned, or it seems to lack to data for them.
And is anyone else getting memory leaks on minecraft recently? i get it on crash landing too, minecraft seems to have no respect for the upper limit imposed by the launcher.

Ive found plenty of goodies in the thaumcraft obsidian standing stones, damascus steel etc.

^^ Lately, I get this problem all the time. 20 minutes of gaming, followed by the discovery of 96% RAM usage (seriously? I told you that Xmx is 3G, minecraft!) forcing me to close minecraft client, leading to my losing flow, leading to simply abandoning gaming for the night.
ive found that to clean the issue you actually have to reboot, it might be something to do with java creating a stale environment for itself? im still using v7u67 considering that FTB wont play nice with java 8u20.
The issue does come back in time, but at least you have a little while before it rears its ugly head, people have suggested s*it tons of ideas for the issue, isolating things like TE's itemducts (which arnt in this pack) causing overflowing threads and memory stacks that dont vanish till the tube is un-clogged.
Forestry recipes arent showing because of no NEI Plugins mod. It has been quite a while since it was last updated and there is still no port for 1.7.x... Thats the reason why there is CraftGuide mod included. By default you should be able to access it by pressing [,] on numpad (next to 0).
