How do you disable a single item in a mod? I read somewhere that you set the ID to zero, but now I can't find anything. It this how to do it?

You could do that, or you could check the config and see if "disable item X" exists somewhere, or you could install minetweaker and do it that way. Using minetweaker also allows for you to alter recipes, and if you are making that modpack mentioned in your other thread, you'll probably want it installed anyway.

Thanks. I found minetweaker but if i install it like a mod, wont all the players have access to it too?

Also in case you know this... I downloaded MCedit to change the spaawn point of my world. I download the world folder from my server so I can change it... and MCedit doesn't see the folder/world. It automatically found all other worlds I had, but not the one i downloaded. Is there a trick to moving a world from a server?

Figured it out, im an idiot.

Setting Id's to 0 does not work for all mods, so be careful and try it one mod at a time and look for ID conflicts

I'm trying to design a system that looks into an inventory, and if the inventory is empty, send one item from a different inventory into the empty inventory. I only want 1 item in the destination inventory at a time, and there will be a 45s (ish) delay from item entering, and item leaving destination inventory.

What's the best way to accomplish this? I was originally thinking BC pipes (shudder), but there's a travel time associated with the pipe movement, and I was getting multiple items in the destination inventory. So I was considering adding pipe wire and additional gates, (haven't tested in game to see if this will solve the problem), but I figured I'd come pick the brains of the FTB elite for cleaner/better/cooler ways to accomplish this task.

Thanks in advance!

Well, if you have Logistic Pipes installed then you can probably use the Supplier Logistics pipe to keep the inventory stocked with 1 item. It also uses the same piping as Buildcraft so you don't have to take down too many Buildcraft pipes (you just need to make sure any intersections have basic logictics pipes).

Going to give that a shot. Thanks!

I see them everywhere in the Ender Forest I live by. Right clicking their backpack crashes or boots you from the server. I believe it's from BetterStorage.

After reading up on the math on how ME Storage drives from Applied Energistics determines byte size per item I was wondering is there any point in using larger disks since with larger disks items take up exponentially more bytes. (i.e. 1k storage drive 8 bytes= 1 item; 64k storage drive 512 bytes = 1 item)
Here is a link to the AE Storage Math where I found the information: http://ae-mod.info/ME-Storage-Math/

That's bytes per item TYPE, not just per item. Each individual item takes up the same space as long as it's not the first item of its type

so while yes having the full 63 items on a 64k drive will use up more space, in short, they'll still be able to store more. Much more.
If you look further down the same page you linked
1K drive can hold 65 stacks of items, whilst the 64k drive can hold 4,160 stacks of items.

I guess the better way to state my question would be is it worth it to use larger drives when comparing the amounts they can store to the increased resource costs especially the increased quartz as it seems to be the one thing I'm always needing more of.

I suppose that depends on how many resources you have, both for crafting and storing purposes.

Most of the time? You'll be better off with 16ks. But it really depends on your needs, not what we think.

I find 16k drives the best for cost vs storage capacity, but by the time you'll actually need 64k drives, you'll have plenty enough resources to build them

if you had to kind of judge the new TE flux infused tools compared to Tinkers construct tools, would you say they are more or less powerful, or the same? Trying to figure out if I can leave them in a pack im making, i dont want anything stronger than TiC tools.

That's a loaded question, as Ti C tools are so customizable. They might be more powerful, but they might not.

I still find myself preferring to use TiCo's tools.
Sword? TiCo has a higher maximum potential for damage and customization but RSA's is easy enough to make and is enchantable.
Pick? I do not find it useful enough, a 3x1 column infront of you or 2x1 column above or below you. I rather make a TiCo Hammer for tunnel making and Pickaxe with Silk Touch for cherry picking specific ores for advanced processing for higher yield.
Flux-Infused Omni-Wrench? I do not see the difference between it and the regular Crescent Hammer. Maybe someone can enlighten me one it's uses.
Shovel? This one is great that it combines the use of a shovel with a hoe, and on Empowered mode you can dig 5x1 blocks infront of you. I use this with the TiCo's Excavator.
Axe? TiCo's Lumberaxe and/or DartCraft's Lumberjack enchantment is by far miles ahead of RSA's empowered version.
Battlewrench? Wut? Other than saving an inventory spot for not needing to carry both a Crescent Hammer and melee weapon, I don't see any other point in it.

P.S. Please do correct me if I'm misinformed. :)

Only thing I would add is the Omni-Wrench also acts as shears, so it's another two-tools-in-one tool.

Oh, and that Flux damage ignores armor, so the sword lets you have AP and block in the same package.
