Do ranchers need empty space in front of them? If not you could just use stronger range upgrades and put the power lines between the ranchers and the tank.

I saw in the magical crops thread that the newest version of magical crops doesn't work with MFR, and the mod author says that's on MFR's end to fix. Since powercrystals is nowhere to be found, you're probably better off updating MFR to its most recent version, and then keeping magical crops at a version that works with MFR. I'm going to see later tonight which is the most recent version that works with MFR. The most recent one that works with MFR should be the last of version 2 (MagicalCrops1.5.1.2.1.2a). Version 3 broke the compatibility, something I raised with them at the time, and was told to talk to PC about it. Which, honestly, I think is a little backwards. But it's why I haven't touched version 3. I have enough trouble with Natura crops not all working properly, I don't need MC being a pain, too.

Alkydere posted:Yup, been testing it msyelf in creative. While the Dye-farm is probably the most absurdly productive for a bio-reactor, it's not feasable for automation. Neither the MFR harvester nor the entire multifarm system works with the dye. I have a dye farm feeding a bioreactor on the server right now. It's not being used for all inputs but it's perfectly feasible with ME alone, maybe logistics pipes too. Ink is definitely the best  source though.

I'm short on string and slime so I want to make a auto-spawner farm for spiders and slimes. I've got a basic design down, but I can't figure out the range for the auto-spawner. What area do I need to box in to keep the mobs in?

9x9 around the auto-spawner. It's a tricky business; my tower for this leaked horribly when I tried Blazes for awhile.

And make sure the spawner's either in the air, or that the ground is very solid underneath, or the slimes will spawn underneath things (where you have wiring and pipes and such). Slimes are small enough to spawn in the most stupidly tiny spaces, too.

Don't MFR farmers have the ability to automatically plant in segmented areas? I thought there was an option to set it so that you could divide the plantable area into 9 segments and have each one designated for a crop. If that's true then you can just use a different crop for each of the 9 areas and it'll automate itself, right?

So while this mainly involves a vanilla issue, I'd thought I share a little spat one of our old favorite MC modders had with one of the dev's today over Dinnerbone allowing for flexible nether portal sizes. Source Again, FlowerChild is flipping his poo poo over this:  I just don't even know anymore or even where to begin on the crazy poo poo he is spewing. Wanting things easier, playing to win, might as well be playing autocad and photshop.  I really wish that mod developers like him would just find a new game to latch onto already. VVVVV Good point, that is a lot of missed free entertainment. Enzer fucked around with this message at 04:59 on Sep 12, 2013 |

I don't even understand the whining. Obsidian isn't hard to gather. The "challenge" factor is having the diamond pick, not actually finding the obsidian, so however much obsidian you need to make the portal is pretty much irrelevant.

Probably my favorite thing about people with a ton of emotionally charged opinions like that is seeing them ignorantly slinging mis-applied accusations of logical fallacies in lieu of presenting an actual argument. Extra points to FlowerChild in that conversation for trying to call out the developer for an argument to absurdity when he himself made a far, far more egregious instance of the exact same fallacy only minutes before with his photoshop comment. The utter lack of self awareness or any sort of real critical thinking is what I like most about this modding community. It produces a bunch of really cool mods, which is great, but what it really excels at is producing top grade drama.

I've finally got my server to the point where I want it, so I took a couple days and made/wrote up a modpack. Description from the page below: Cantorpack is a modification of Big Dig that I use for my private server. Since most modding for Minecraft 1.5.2 has died down, I took it upon myself to make a "final version" of Big Dig with the most current stable 1.5.2 versions of every mod in the pack. Then I added a few more mods, with IndustrialCraft 2 being the most significant. It stays true to Big Dig's primary focus on high tech with abundant resources. Stability and performance wise, it should not be much worse than Big Dig 1.3.13, its base. IndustrialCraft 2 can be somewhat laggy if many machines are used, but fortunately Applied Energistics and Thermal Expansion render the majority of IC2's machines unnecessary. Server files: http://ubuntuone.com/4Y0wJZei29H2KWn7OHFxDF Notable Changes: (For Mod Descriptions not listed below, see those on Big Dig's page) --Added IndustrialCraft 2's 1.5.2 beta Massfabs, mining lasers, and reactors for good (if laggy as hell) times. --Added Compact Windmills along with IC2 Reduce lag by stacking your piles of windmills together. --Added Advanced Solars along with IC2 Reduce lag by stacking your piles of solars together. Also adds uncraftable Quantum Generator, a server-op tool that allows unlimited, configurable IC2 power. --Added Nuclear Control along with IC2 Pretty much required to make IC2 reactors automatable. --Added Extra Trees (came with update for Extra Bees) More Forestry spergin, I guess. --Added neiaddons adds NEI support for Extra Bees as well as the nifty feature of adding recipes to your ME Crafter in Applied Energistics. Shift click the ? on the NEI recipe to add it to your pattern encoder. --Added tubestuff another mostly server admin tool, adds a bunch of now-defunct RedPower blocks and the Duplicator, which acts as a storage block with an unlimited amount of whatever is inside. Pull items out with buildcraft pipes or AE import buses. --Added Trade Center a small mod that I haven't seen updated in a while, adds a craftable block you place near a village to view every villager's trade at once, for convenience. --Added Mine Tweaker a relatively new mod, this allows server admins to add and remove any recipe, including ones using mod-added items. For example, I'm using it on my personal server to update IC2's universal matter recipes.

Oh sweet, now if we can get some horizontally-aligned portals we can start seeing some awesome 'nether-out-of-nowhere' griefs. Speaking of, is it theoretically possible to trap someone into a twilight forest portal using sand/gravel or would it end up destroying the portal? (I'm still playing Skyden, the thought just struck me as funny)

I appreciate the fact that it might soon be possible to make a portal large enough to fit a ghast through. I think the only missing element would be the ability to place them in the horizontal plane as well as the vertical plane, (because I always enjoyed doing that with MystCraft crystal blocks).

The problem I can see with horizontal nether portals is that the teleport is not instant, you get that wobbly animation. Twilight Forest and Mystcraft also put you on the nearest block with space when you come back out, the nether portals put you on the bottom row of obsidian where you have to move before being sucked in again. However I would love if they now worked the same as Twilight and Mystcraft becuase it's just a better way doing it IMO. (But lets be honest, does anyone ever bother with the nether portal for more than one trip, one of my first jobs is to make a dim-door to the nether because my portals always end up somewhere really loving annoying and the portal sound drives me nuts)

I actually use it quite a lot until I build a transportation room in my base, assuming, of course, the destination is a decent location in the Nether. I drop it fast if I end up with a portal that's free floating away from everything else in the drat Nether.

If you hypothetically were to place a nether portal horizontally immediately above a pool of water they couldn't escape because it's not possible to dig or place blocks while in a nether portal and the water would prevent them from falling to their deaths.

So I thought what I posted earlier was all FlowerChild was ranting about. No, that is just what Dinnerbone bothered responding to.. FC saw fit to go on for several more hours.  Holy crap his whole twitter account is just him bitching about the most stupid things like making the game easier by adding various shortcut commands and whining to Notch. But when someone makes a mod for his mod, and he becomes aware of it because he dares sees a mention of it somewhere, the gloves are loving off and you crossed the line, holy poo poo.

If you're that loving bothered about portals not being 4x5 why not just build all your portals 4x5? That is the point of a sandbox game, you make your own rules and constraints. Hell I make my own rules up all the time and self imposed things, I don't go pitching a shitfit on twitter because I feel the Modular Powersuit Flight Control feels too cheaty, I just don't install that module, it's not loving difficult.

Can some friendy goons help me out with the method for adding mods to already existing mod packs? I've been trying to insert Thaumcraft 3 into the Tekkit lite pack but I'm getting crashing errors when I load up the game. Google searches are infinitely unhelpful as it seems nobody has ever written up a decent guide for doing it with Thaumcraft despite many, many threads about it. What I did so far was insert the thaumcraft zip into the mods folder and the minecraft forge file into the coremods folder as I think that's how it's supposed to work. But all I get are forge related errors because of that, any help?
