In answer to your first question, yes. Don't carry it around in a forest or wooden house- at least, not in your normal inventory. It should be safe if you put in in a bag of some sort.

Also, I've heard reports that having more of the ore in your inventory makes more fire. Probably a good idea to drink a fire resistance potion, craft the Salamander's Eye from Xeno's Reliquary, don an IC2 Hazmat Suit, or find some other form of fire protection before you go hunting for the stuff.

I didn't go looking for it. It came to me a meteor craft meteor shower. I have it safely stored in a chest far away from my house, and will definitely put it in my backpack next time I move it. It already burned the wooden floor and ceiling off my house . My walls were thankfully stone. I'm still looking for a new building material.

Good to hear that it is a renewable furnace fuel. That will let me save my coal supplies for steel (weapons and armor, not railcraft stuff). It may also help me in power generation, though I know better lava systems than that.

Well, it's only renewable if you have renewable lava.

Can I safely use a lumber axe to clear out the inside of a redwood tree or will it fell the whole thing?

Should be safe, unless you get too close to the top.

Java garbage collection begins to lag and cause issues over 4 GB for the client. Don't know how it impacts a server.

^This.

Java can only operate so fast, and when you exceed the limit the "garbage collection" routines, that do things like make memory no longer in use available to be re-allocated, cannot keep all the memory available. Beyond a certain point, which appears to be 3.5-4GB, memory remains allocated even though it's not in use. If it's allocated, other routines have to perform operations on it since it's marked as active, slowing everything down.

Eventually, all the free ram will be marked as active and Java will be too busy maintaining the active memory to do second class activities, like running applications such as Minecraft.

Is there any kind of glass that allows me to go through it but woun't let any other player, rain and mob?

MFFS can block players, but you need an access card to get through it. I don't know of a block that selectively stops players automatically without the ID card mechanism.

 

[PODonnell]

Xu's ethereal glass will stop rain and mobs, but not other players.

Question:
What possibilities are there of converting Mob essence(MFR) into Liquid XP(Openblocks)?

I know of the Auto-enchanter->Bottle o' Enchanting->Vacuum hopper, but are there not any other more direct means?

MFR unifier afaik

Hmm I tried that, but for some reason I cant pump the Mob essense into it.

 

[PierceSG]

If you have OpenBlocks, you can use the Drain to drain it into the OpenBlocks' tanks, then use the Shower and release those XP orbs into an MFR sewer which will yield you MFR's mob essence.

Edit: Bleh, didn't read before I post.

Heh yeah the other way is easy enough

Guess I could just set up a Liquid XP farm solution. Just thought that I might as well use my automated Mob essence if I could in some reasonable way.

Well that is odd. I've definitely done mob essence -> exp before but can't remember the exact details

 

[Eruantien]

you know quoting a post with @"person" in it summons them right?

I thought that had been tried before and it didn't happen, so... nopez. [DOUBLEPOST=1407766117][/DOUBLEPOST]

Not glass, but: Thaumcraft Arcane Doors have "selective" pass-through-ability-ness. Not sure what you mean about rain, however; a ceiling, maybe? Then just ward it.

That's... really weird. Sounds like you're on a server with players who like to prank you... If you're sure that none of them planted TNT (or IC2 dynamite or whatever) behind you when you teleported away, I recommend trying to reproduce the circumstances in SSP and, if it still explodes on you, filing a bug report.

Though, really, making something explode takes at least a couple lines of code, and it would be hard to write them in by mistake. I'm almost certain this is a creeper (maybe it snuck up and started to explode, but you teleported away and unloaded the chunk before it could finish) or a prank; but if it's not, it's almost certainly an undocumented feature. Anyhow, if it ever happens again in a creeper-proofed area on SSP or an empty server (make sure there's no invisible ops, either), I'd still call bug.

And the other thing... that sounds a lot like a Random Things bug. Best report that, too.

The explosion happened on my SSP world. I believe it's an AM2 bug... I'll check around on Github for anything beyond this; thanks, though. I guess it would be a "feature"; don't leave mystical constructions alone for too long!

I will report the white stone crash.

Can you automate exporting from a Chemical Synthesis Machine? (MineChem)

 

[PhilHibbs]

Did you also break the nodes associated with the taint?

Just got back from a week's holiday. Found the node, it was indeed deep underground (in a very scary cave!)

 

[Bigpak]

What are these things, they are popping up around bedrock and I have never seen them before. What are they?

Does anyone know how much steam (from railcraft) the rotarycraft steam turbine consumes? I'm talking about the small steam turbine that lists railcraft as a dependency. The handbook and wiki says it produces 256Nm of torque at 2krad/s, but not it's consumption rate. Atm I'm testing by running a max size HP boiler and hooking up turbines 'till it can't keep up (at 3 as of this post); but if someone has the actual mB/tick that'd be appreciated.

Looks like 4. So I guess 180mB/t.
