I'm playing the Direwolf20 Modpack and I'm trying to make a enderman farm where I can stand under a two block tall platform and look at enderman but when I do this the enderman come to me and then teleport me out from under the two block tall platform.
Is there a mod that is causing this to happen.

Nope. That's the New Improved Endermen(tm) behavior in Vanilla.

Am I the only one that follows Vanilla development? (hypothetical question) :D

Mojang got wise to people cheesing Endermen in the exact method you describe, so they decided to screw with you. Now if they could just fix the backlog of known bugs and issues as they crank out version after version we'll be in good shape.

It was my understanding that 1.10 RailCraft is still WIP. Things should be returning in future updates.

Just wondering if there's a way around this by doing a similar thing (two block tall platform) but with a hole where you're standing.

Like this above you ...

Only reason I say this is (in 1.10.2) I have a eio powered spawner where not one enderman has yet pulled a trick on me. I'm standing behind a two block gap and thwacking their feet as usual.

If they don't see you look at them they act the same old way, but under a cover above ground they see your eyes and you get the old "Get over Here!!!" treatment from Mortal Combat :)

I am trying to build a space station in Galacticraft, but the awful gravity mechanics is pissing me off.. Everything is a constant battle to just get in position to place a single block when building. And I fear I will not keep my sanity(what's left) for the duration of the build this way.

Is there any way of dealing with this gravity mechanic? Some exploit to circumvent it? Any way of disabling it completely? Or should I just give up on using Galacticrafts mechanics for this and create a void world instead?

Rotational thrusters will give gravity, but only within the sphere of influence of the thrusters. Other options are creative flight, either from an Angel Ring, or a Modular Powersuit.

Also, Railcraft has factory machines and a few multi-blocks missing that will turn up in a month or two. Railcraft.info and CoverJaguar's twitter give more information.

Dw20 1.10 pack... loving it... but other than the ender io trans thingie is there any other way to transmit rf across dimensions?
rfools has powercells that can transmit rf across distances and dimensions(i think the normal one needs prismarine shards the one below it does not but im not sure how much weaker it is ) . this wireless rf transmiting is not free of upkeep. the upkeep is some small percent of the rf extracted from the cell is lost . there are some things can reduce the cost dim shard infusion on power-cells used and a positive benefit for a piece of power-cell multi-block being used for the transmtion being in an rftools dimension . To clarify the power-cell multi-block is like the ender io capacitor bank multi-block and u can just have 1 cell on each side .How ever this multi-block is more so wirelessly connected by id/frequency card (touching = 0 upkeep sharing between the 2,short distance same dim= negligible)
i cant describe it properly really but the rftools manual can describe it much better then i can and more data

Yeah those will in no way help when building the actual station exterior. When I tried them they just made everything worse. Had to constantly catch up with a moving target, and got shot off into the abyss when letting go of the "station".

Other options are creative flight, either from an Angel Ring, or a Modular Powersuit.
That doesn't work. They actually seem to make things even worse, like giving you a constant acceleration in one direction, making you go down really fast when pressing space(to go up) etc. I have even removed various "step up" and haste items to make, since they really derp it up too.

Angel Blocks to stop forward progress?
The Grapple helps a bit getting around, and getting back to the structure if you are speeding off. And helped a bit getting rid of all haste. Easier to control that way.

Still annoying as heck :p

Hi guys :3
Anyone know what happened to the traveller's gear in tinker's in tinkers 2? Did they just not decide to implement the traveller's gear in tinker's 2 or are they doing something else? I've tried researching and so far I've got nothing :(

Watching the DW20 Let's Play season 8 (mod pack 1.10), and I was wondering if there is an official mod list for what's included in the pack? I've seen the list on Curse, but was thinking of a wiki or github page if possible.

And a design question; is there a way to use Carpenter's Blocks to build a triangular cross-section slope? Like the edges of a pyramid. I've tried placing wedge slopes and then hitting them with a Carpenter's Hammer, but none of the available options seem to work. Am I missing an obvious option?

I am not at all sure what shape you mean, but triangles and minecraft go poorly together. And it is quite common to end up missing certain slope shapes. For example it is impossible to build beams that are diagonal in x-y but also up and down.

Chunkbase has a biome mapper for 1.7.10, but once you start modding (especially with things like ExtraBiomes), it would become less accurate.

Really frustrated. I right click to separate a stack and it favorites the stack. What is doing this?

Dw20 1.10 for reference

Pack in question; Direwolf20 1.10.

In what range of depth will I find silver and bauxite often? I plan on making silver weapons (A scythe,primarily),and bauxite's my only source of aluminium,and I'll be needing that for casts,and likely,machinery.
