As long as it's not that blasphemous circle language. Circles in minecraft? Would be easier to divide by the cube root of diamond.

divide three times by it and then be fast enough to craft before it blows up
 
Today I discovered that enchanting Efficiency IV on an Advanced Diamond Drill in FTB Ultimate wasn't such a good idea. It mines blazingly fast, sure, but is now useless for construction work. If I misplace a single block, I usually tear down half the wall when I try to remove it.
 
Volume in a mac crafter increases alot faster than the other dimensions of a mac.
A fluid generator can be placed right next to a harvester and power the harvestor and planter!

Provided you're making a cube
If you're making it rectangular, it can be a really bad waste of resources.. (volume is tiny compared to outside dimensions)

The most vital crafting recipe in the game, and possibly an exploit?

Ok Ok I'll bite, how is taking 2 items to craft 2 items an exploit?

As for what did I learn:

That you don't have to be holding the item you want to put into Jabba barrel and the fact that if you continue to right click with an empty hand on a wall of barrels it will take all the items from your inv and match them into barrels, guess I got too much stuck on the Factorization way.
 
That the TT Talisman of Remedium takes damage now in 1.6 :(
That the talisman can now be enchanted with stuff like unbreaking etc. in an anvil. Gonna have to try repair on it.

As a reminder, it used to be powered by Vis and Vis alone. Now it's got a durability because it's hard to tap into node energy anywhere without it being accessible ANYWHERE.

...also, Repair works on what it's allowed to work on and nothing else. Use a different technique to fix it. Otherwise, you're gonna have a bad time.[DOUBLEPOST=1399125497][/DOUBLEPOST]

You can even right click REALLY fast and it'll take everything all at once rather then a stack at a time, too!

I just discovered that a simple 3x3 core fission reactor from ReactorCraft produces more power than I know what to do with. I wish I could electrify a fence with it all somehow...

I've almost automated *everything* now. Just need to find something to do with the mountain of ProjectRed gemstone ores now.

As they are source of lucrum from thaumcraft you can use them in alchemy to convert them to gold. It is possible to fully automate it quite easily so you will end up with tones of gold as those gems are usless as soon as you get any decent tools.

Now that sounds like a plan. My alchemical furnace is one of the other dwindling number of things that I need to hook up to Colin.

Today's funsies, fluid storage cells. I've cleared out a nice patch of floor space by emptying my lava tank and mob essence tank into Colin. For the price of one more ME drive and a couple of fluid cells. Beautiful thing.
