So you went through a nether portal... and wound up far away in the overworld?

It is one thing to go through a portal, then try to return and wind up a bit more than 1k blocks away from where you expected. That's a normal consequence of having other portals nearby and vanilla nether portal mechanics.

Sometimes that is fixed by breaking all portals except the two you want paired, sometimes not. On a server with lots of other people making portals it is best to give up on predictability and just bring a way to teleport home.

If you really went through a portal and immediately arrived at a different part of the overworld... wow.
 
My friend built me a slime spawner on an Ultimate server way back in the day that involved a central pit for the slimes to drop in and a wider ring around the pit lined with Sentry Turrets.

How were the turrets done? Because when i made a farm with turrets they would always despawn or die.
 
Question: I am unable to find Bauxite in ANY biome. Is there a way to retrogen Gregtech ores?

Bauxite only spawns in forest or plains biomes, some of the mod forest/plains biomes work, but for the most part you're better off assuming they don't

It spawns quite frequently so you shouldn't have a hard time finding it once you get the right biome.
 
Is the only way to automate the harvesting of fruit/nuts from trees using the forestry farms or is there another way?

I know where it spawns but it's not showing up and your statement doesn't answer my question. Is there a way to regen Gregtech ores?

A recent change (not sure when) is that it no longer spawns at all heights. Bottom level is 35 or something like that. Are you only looking around diamond level?
 
If I were Crazy enough to play a game without TE or BC, what mods out there have alternatives to the Pump or Aqueous Accumulator for acquiring water?
 
How much water do you need without those mods? :eek:

Was wondering what it'd be like to have a modpack with Railcraft, but no TE or BC. Can use Railcraft water tanks to gen water, but I was wondering if there's another way. Can use ExtraUtils to pipe liquids around and Railcraft tanks to store them.

Ah ha, yes you're right. I forget about those tanks.
