I was going to say “Ettie”, for eternal, but that’s much better!
Sadly, Ettie/Liv managed to glitch through the wall and ended up topside. Can't have zombie workers slacking off like that.

Personally I'd name them after my local politicians- as they seem share the same personality.
I'd do that - but the zombie was actually contributing to society. ::rimshot::
@ShneekeyTheLost Fortunately for you, OpenBlocks is now 1.12 and includes it's dev/null.
Personally I just carry a LOT of forestry backpacks.

My 1.10 Iron Backpacks setup made an inventory full of Forestry backpacks seem clunky and inadequate. Not sure if the upgrade system is fully functional in 1.12 yet, but it wasn't when I was thinking about making the switch. I'm sure it will be ready by the the time I am at this rate.
Forestry Backpacks were the litmus standard ever since they came out back in the day. They had a lot of functionality that no other backpack mod ever really got. They just worked.
About the only thing that Satchels cannot do that Forestry Backpacks can do is auto-fill a stack from the bag for building megastructures with. In exchange, Satchels, once upgraded, can carry FAR more items, especially if you hit it up with a Holding enchantment.
No auto-pickup for Iron Backpacks yet. It's a WIP still.
Nothing makes building a big structure easier than the Builder's backpack, which also comes along mining because it holds torches. Being able to get a Satchel to suck up all the ores (configurably in game) means I can carry those and an ender pouch and when the bags get full ender pouch my inventory clean again, then go back to mining.
Honestly the only downside to the Forestry Bags is the difficulty in upgrading them, which while easily solvable by just carrying a LOT of them, is kind of silly. I've managed to upgrade a bag once in all the time I've been playing. And that in a 1.6.4 Monster pack world, before Gendustry had been balanced. A maxxed out industrial apiary is quite a thing.

Another "really cool RFTools thing I found".
I replaced my vanilla signs with RFTools screens. So configurable, great little thing to make my base look proper industrial <3

I needed to upgrade my powercells today, the transfer rate on the entry-level ones isn't enough to sustain my interdimensional shenanigans.
Problem, i'm nowhere near an ocean and i'm too lazy to go hunting for prismarine.
Luckily, a solution is at hand
Had a bit of a play with some other stuff from this mod. It's got some cool mechanics. I could do with some powerful and end-gamey to aim at though, it'll keep me interested for a while...

.??? It could be upgraded/configured to pick stuff up as long as I've known about it. Want a bag to pick up and compress all your cobblestone up to octadic? Done! Grab all that silktouch stone, turn it into stone bricks, and keep a stack on your hotbar? Done! Grab all the clutter a particular mod generates? Void the saddles from every loot chest you break? Do it all from inside another backpack that you can wear and open with a hot key? Iron Backpacks are much better than I remember Forestry backpacks ever being.
The 1.12 version of the mod doesn't have that upgrade yet. Unless it's now a baked in functionality.
OK. I haven't done much in 1.12 as I'm still waiting for EnderIO to update. And with Azanor dropping Thaumcraft 6 beta, I'm back to playing 1.10.2.
That you can set up powered spawners for your livestock as well. I needed a ton of wool, like 30,000ish, and even a relatively large farm of sheep standing over mechanical users with sheers, it would have taken weeks. But, collect just one of their souls and set up a powered spawner, i had thousands by the end of the session. Plus, I'll never have to eat another potato again.
Ahhh, didn't realize that. I guess since the shirt had slightly more durability (having been replaced due to disappearing in a weird glitch), the hunger 'damaged' the suit long enough to get rid of the other items - which all had identical durability - and then set in on taking me down to half a heart.
Come to think of it, I've heard the phrases 'I'll eat my hat', 'Eat my shorts', and 'A steak as tough as shoe-leather', but never anything about eating shirts/coats. Guess that hunger was truly unnatural.

I went ahead and jumped to 1.12 just because I was bored of 1.10 and my 1.7.10 world is currently filling a massive train full of train tracks and lags too much to actually play in.
In Direwolf20 1.12, you can place a cup of coffee in an energetic infuser with a repair specialization and never have to make another cup again.
