Just for fun and information, when he said "Like at all", he meant "Like...at all?", and more specifically he meant "are you saying fused quartz is completely immune to reactor explosions?"
English is funny.
Good tip btw, I've been working on IC2 reactors most of the day as it turns out.
So to clarify fused quarts glass prevents all explosions from a IC2 nuke, i have tested this with a 6 chamber reacter filled with quad cells. However if just one block is left open then the blast outside that one block can destroy 4-6blocks around the hole...
Looks very pretty though and generally scares the living hell out of anyone visiting my base.

Botania's managlass (though unfortunately not its panes) is a light source. That makes it great for a building material when you don't want torches; just the right amount of clarity, and even with Expert mode it's quite easy to obtain in large quantities reasonably early. Making the vitreous pickaxe from the same mod cuts down on wastage if you need to change where you've placed it. It's good for windows and skylights of course, but also floors with something interesting under them, underwater tunnels, random lighting, etc.
This actually applies to both alfglass and bifrost as well as managlass, and in the most recent update, panes also glow.

While maybe not cool in some senses, I found out when making my taintthistle that if Vitium Essentia passes through you, you end up with a short period of taint poison. This likely also applies to any entity, so keep your chickens out of your infusion room, as the duration of the poision would likely kill them and turn them tainted. I don't know if this applies to Venunum and the poision effect.
This mechanic, a sheep, and a safari net. I'm not a griefer, personally, but the potential here for tainting my friends base is hilarious. I'm a nice guy - I'll give him a stack of Ethereal Blooms at a nearly reasonable price.
I have discovered the secret of RotaryCraft's shaft power bus. What am I using it for? Why, using the output of a single high-pressure ReC turbine, running at full tilt, to run 16 extractors, in parallel, all at 1-tick operational speeds. My ore processing abilities are now well beyond the point of absurdity. This bank of insane bastards ate thru over 5-6k iron ore in a matter of seconds. Oh, and they all have the bedrock drill upgrade. Now, all I need are flake smelting facilities, I'm thinking maybe Mekanism, and I'll have resources beyond the dreams of avarice!
Why not keep with RoC and use a bank of Friction Heaters. You can make those smelt absurdly fast as well.
True, but those only have one input and one output slot, and temperature can only go so high before the furnae melt. Plus, since I have time watches and tile accelerators handy, getting Mek smelters to operate at insane speeds is well within my grasp, as well. I'm right at reaching the ChC dimension (can't get in due to some mod interaction bug I have yet to diagnose), so I can make accelerators all day long. Ever seen an elite Mek smelting factory with full upgrades and a 256x tile accelerator on it? It. Is. Insane.
OH! Also, a pic of the setup, because awesome. I have to use the multiple servo/retriever route since that's the fastest way to get ores and products where they need to go. This thing is positively devouring all the ore my mineral extractor has managed to acquire. Plus, nearly 16 stacks of tungsten flakes! Today is a good day.
If you don't count the incredible amount of pain I'm in from overexerting myself whilst shoveling snow, which I don't...at least until I move. Then, I'm about five seconds from strangling someone.

Do you also have ChromatiCraft?
It has a little something something for flake processing

Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes! *dances around in circles*
BlayTheNinth said:Ever played on a multiplayer server, built near other players and when returning from the Nether, surprisingly found yourself in another player's base? It's because of the 8:1 block ratio between the Nether and the Overworld. It's really weird though that you enter a portal in the overworld, and then when going back through where you came. come out of a different portal in the overworld. This mod fixes that issue.
It keeps track of what portals a player went through in order to ensure correct destinations when the player is going back through the same portals. This is honestly kind of hard to explain in text, even though it's a super simple concept. Here's a comparison image instead:
This mod only needs to be installed on the server (but it works in singleplayer as well).
Note that as of now, this mod does not save any of the data it keeps track of, meaning when players relog, their portals will return to default behaviour for the first portal they walk through. This may be fixed in the future, if there's demand for it.
How'd I forget that thing? Yes! That is what I need! And I've more than enough power (every pylon to which my base is linked is boosted) to handle multiple furnae for all my processing needs! Well, minus things like aluminium powder and tungsten, since the former is useful in making performance engines and the latter can only be smelted via friction-heated 'nilla furnace, and is useful for making tungsten carbide.Do you also have ChromatiCraft?

I discovered that a Rank SS Terra Shatterer with Ring of Thor is useless and has a nice message from Vazkii lol.
It's useless because in the pack I'm playing there is no way to clear your inventory which you have to do after every 2-3 hits even using /Dev/Nulls for everything other than ore.
