Defending Base Without MFFS

[xjjon]

I play on a modified pack server that does not have MFFS.

It is 1.5.2 so it does not have redpower but I can use MFR rednet with computercraft.

I've been using many many Iron Golems from TC3 and Ender Bees under the floor but I want something that I have more control over. I have a friend that plays with me and the Iron Golems get kind of annoying as I have to remove them everytime he comes to my base.

Any ideas?

A bunch of track going around your base, forming a minecart force field. Add some detectors somewhere hooked up to some dispensers with fire charges in them, and you have a self-emptying force field that'll automatically pick up mobs, kill them, and let players through.

Alternatively you could use a Steve's Carts' turret cart that only fires at hostile mobs.

You could also use IC2 tesla coils. They have a range of 4 in every direction (covering an area of 9x9x9 total) and need a solid supply of 128EU/t but man, the damage the do...

Hmm that could work. I wanted to kill mainly players who snoop around though, not mobs.

Tesla coils work quite well on players Plug one in and activate it. Test it out for yourself, you shouldn't be dissapointed
