Probably not - it only pulls up mod ores if the mod is set up to work with the laser drill, not the other way around.

That's the thing; he's changing how flux, nodes, and pretty much everything in the mod works. So much is changing from 3.0.5h that he may as well call the next update 4.0 rather than 3.1.

Started playing a slightly modded 1.6.2 play and installed it along with a few other mods. Every time I get near one of the crappy floating islands, my game crashes.

I'm not one for reading crash logs so can someone tell me if I'm right in thinking the renderer is the culprit?

Blue slimes are one of the most pointless and out of place additions to Tinkers Construct. In a mod about ores, alloys, and custom tools, why introduce a new mob with edible slime? It's such a low-level resource why would we even bother going to floating islands and poo poo for it?

Well i can safely say im done with tech blocks again for awhile, beekeeping kinda took the wind out of my sails.

I can see why the various goons have advised me off it. Jesus gently caress it took way more effort then reward to get pollen and royal jelly for the bigger beehives. And i was not against mild cheating, AND i had the help of thaumic tinkerers transmuter, AND i was on easy mode because how much seed oil got kicked in the head is loving pathetic...

I'll admit the bee swarms when they are working, the butterflies flying around them and the ever expanding field of flowers around the hives is a cute touch 'tho. Ambience is always nice.

Awesome. Let me know if you run into any issues using it in a server environment.

Didn't have much time to work on it this weekend, but I was able to add some functionality to the tool besides just rotating stuff. (Which I'm not showing yet because it's still ugly-looking.) Want to add at least one type of emitter and field before the next release.

I'm kind of torn on how I should be implementing new blocks. Right now I just have a separate block ID for each combo of tier / invert, but as I add different field and emitter types it's going to grow geometrically. Tile entities seem like the natural solution, but I'm trying to be mindful of potential memory issues. I'm trying to design with a large multi user server environment in mind, with the potential of thousands of effector blocks being out in the world at the same time. This is part of the reason why I decided to eschew energy consuming blocks (so far), as as far as I know it would require the emitter blocks to all continuously do updateTicks. At the moment they only update when something actually changes.

Edit: I can see I need to make the vaporizable blocks user-configurable, god drat all these flowers

You could always provide upgrade slots & items instead of consuming power. Sticking with your vanilla item them it wouldn't be terribly arduous to make 5 redstone and 4 each of iron/gold/diamond/emerald "power sources" that increase the max range.

I've considered this, but if I do I'd need to make some kind of "assembly table" block so upgraded blocks could be produced / broken down en masse as adding upgrades to each individual emitter sounds fiddly and annoying. I've also considered having some kind of master power block that just powers all emitters in X range and sends out an update notice to them as needed. I'm more concerned with adding new functionality than making currentTier + 1 blocks at the moment though.

Does anyone know how to get a listing of Entity IDs for a given mod configuration? I'm messing around with MATmos in Hexxit for fun and want to have boss music. This is easy enough for the Ender Dragon and Wither, who have known static Entity IDs, but the Better Dungeons mobs and Twilight Forest bosses are eluding me. It seems like their Entity IDs might be dynamic, and set only when the mods are loaded, but I really don't know. As far as I can tell, NEI can only dump block and item IDs, while Entity IDs remain entirely obscure.

We also have room on our server, using a modified and updated version of BigDig. Custom pack on launcher, you don't have to do anything. Very few people actively playing (me and Nastyman pretty much), but I would love some company.

Updated most main mods, removed extra bees because I couldn't find a working updated version and didn't bother adding the old back in again, added furniture mod and probably some more. Couldn't get powersuit addons to work, but didn't really try hard either.
Had Railcraft, but the server crashed, including control panel and everything, so removed. Might be a coincidence though, so going to try and add it again.

So I am running two MFR farms that are 25x25 and two that are 15x15. Two of them are oak trees (the 25x25), one is wheat and the other is cotton (the 15x15). My problem is our wheat farm is barely producing any extra seeds. We have a ton of wheat and it keeps the plot of land planted and harvested but there are only a few stacks of seeds and they are sitting in the planter. Is there a reason for this? I do notice when I visit sometimes I'll pick up seeds and saplings on the ground.

How are you routing seeds back to the planter? Depending on what pack you're on I would recommend using insertion pipes. Insertion pipes put items in to a container of they can take it and bypass it if they can't so you don't have like diamond pipes splitting it in half but most of them fall out and disappear.

The planter works fine I believe as I have a full field of wheat at all times. I am just not getting a good set of seeds sitting in my ME system for having a 15x15. I have an item tesserect sitting directly on the planter. For the harvester I have an ender chest slapped up directly against the harvester. Then another ender chest is hooked up to an import bus into my ME system.

That's not a bug; the reactor can't operate if part of it is unloaded, as the bits that are unloaded may actually contain parts of the simulation. If any part of the reactor unloads, the whole thing pauses until the machine is whole again. You can use UE uranium, but I think yellorium is more common by default.

I think you're imagining 0.17. You might be thinking of 0.1.7, which is an older version than the current 0.1.13. The most current version can always be found on the Big Reactors website.

It might be bad luck. Wheat gives between 0 and three seeds when harvested, so your total number of wheat seeds won't rise as quickly as your total number of carrots or whatever. So long as the number is rising I'd say you're doing fine.

If you put it right alongside the inventory (in this case, the planter) diamond pipes work as well as insertion pipes - filter the seeds towards the planter, and if there's not room, the diamond pipe will send them the other available direction, along with everything that's not the filtered seeds. (Buildcraft diamond pipes are smart enough now to look into an inventory that's directly attached and not try to send items into a full inventory even if that's the direction they're filtered towards.)

I believe people are confused by the third number actually being the build number - for those people, you read those as "0.1 build 7" and "0.1 build 13". Builds are less major changes that don't justify going up a full version, or even a full .1 of a version.

Ah yeah, I assume most folks are familiar with versioning schemes. To wit: <major> . <minor> . <build>

Major versions denote compatibility-shattering, entire-mod-altering changes. Think EE2, EE3.

Minor versions denote significant changes and feature additions. So, when I add a new feature (e.g. RedNet), I bump the minor number.

Build versions are simply serial numbers; every public release in the same Major.Minor line will have a different build number. These may contain minor features, but are usually just tweaks and bugfixes.
