Well,

I've been following Direwolf20 for some months now, since December when i first installed his mod pack just after his first youtube video of current series. I've tried nearly all of his builds except never quite got the hang of the mobile mining machine.

I've also taken it upon myself to experiment with other mods and am trying to think of some new things to do, there are a lot of mods I've barely touched!

Here's some screenshots of my base :)

Shot from above, the 9x9's have been turned into brick with some sandstone, you can see storage tanks off in the distance holding things from XP and Mob Essence to Milk, pink slime and liquid meat.

Here are some shots of farms at the back of my base.

The first picture is my recently added mob farm which is feeding an MFR slaughterhouse, this created meat ingots and pink slime, I plan on using meat ingots to create a factory that makes tastey meat nuggets!

My base is powered by pink trees! :) The pink trees (Cherry wood) grow much faster than oak trees and are easily capable enough of making enough charcoal to keep the steam boilers going. I also grow some crops, the MFR mod is being used.

Outside my front door I have placed my only 'brain in a jar', a result of messing about with ThaumCraft, I have no idea exactly what you are meant to DO with a brain in a jar, so it sits beside my front door and glares at people.

Here's my power room, it's fairly basic but has room for several more steam boilers. I'm using wood that's turned into charcoal, the steam boilers feed steam pipes which generate RF power and EU power via rail craft turbines. That's an MFSU in the distance and a resonant energy cell to the bottom right.

Next level down is my machine room which holds the 'MAC', Deep storage units hidden behind AE Storage Monitors, I am using ME P2P modules to transmit EU power to IC2 machines, I love P2P modules and hope that they are present in the next version of AE.
I managed to (with some excellent help right here on the FTB forum!) got the

Here is the mob spawner room where i spawn in mobs, so far I have about 38k emeralds :)

I've got some thaumcraft outside but cannot upload any more pictures.

But what should I do now?

I've not done much with Steve Carts, that looks quite fun, I would like to try to find a way of integrating carts into a build in a big field that i've levelled out.

I have never really gotten into bee breeding before, but this also looks interesting, same with trees, i've been following the youtube series 'Sjin's farm' from yogscast and note that pretty much everything he used appears to be in the DW20 pack.

Haven't touched ars magika either.

I'm toying with building a big bee breeding/tree breeding thing and getting bees to do lots of interesting stuff.

I'd also like to experiment with nuclear power, computer craft and so forth...
Then there's these ore berries...MFR laser drills..

But which one next? I can't make up my mind.

A sky based nuclear power station? A giant bee factory?

All ideas greatly appreciated!

-Wuffle!

@WuffleFluffy The brain in a jar is used to collect Exp for later use. There are other ways to collect exp so many people no longer use them. I also believe there is going to be an item that uses a full jar to craft in a future Thaumcraft update

Thanks, just another query.. i've got a railcraft tank with over 2 million XP in it from essence berries, I have another tank with about 1 million XP inside my main building that collects XP from an XP drain.

Is there a way to get XP back from these tanks? I've tried an XP bottler but that seems a bit wasteful with throwing all those bottles around.

Pump it into an OpenBlocks tank? right clicking that gets you the xp

OP, I see there's another one who likes to build with quarried stone. I still haven't got enough of the stuff to remove all the cobble. As for big projects, I envision a teleporting floating base using AE spatial storage. Automating that to make my base vanish and reappear on a button press will be a challenge.
