Yeah, I'm feeding a 2x3x1 bank of 6 crucibles with a single igneous extruder. The extruder is on top of one of the crucibles, exporting to all sides and downwards, and the other 5 crucibles have an itemduct on top of them. From what I've seen, it seems like fire actually smelts crucibles faster than lava. One magmatic engine takes 1.5 constantly-fed fire-netherrack crucibles to power itself. So with 6 crucibles I'm feeding 4 magmatics and keeping an almost perfect equilibrium of stored lava.

So I've walled off a small portion of the nether in Agrarian Skies so that I can get some netherrack and glowstone easily, plus eventually maybe some nether ores. I'm curious - other than having poo poo like hellfish coming out of the walls and super-speed cracked-out zombie pigmen who hate you forever, does AS have any other dickery going on in the Nether? I mean, just the super-speed cracked-out zombie pigmen are bad enough...

Robhol posted:Are you sure about the itemducts? Maybe I'm on a different version to you, but I can get itemducts to feed in cobble from the top fine. That might be the problem. I tried feeding them from the sides. Makes my free power that much cheaper though now that I don't need emeralds and diamonds to power them.

Seems like walling off the nether would be more trouble than it's worth, especially considering that a small area wouldn't have much glowstone in it. Me, I just get the Blood Magic air sigil and slingshot myself around the nether, flying over all the dangerous monsters in the event I need resources. But there's honestly not a whole lot in there I need. Though, I did harvest like a thousand soulsand from this one enormous deposit, mostly for sifting. Serifina posted:Nether Ores. They explode.

The area the portal dropped me in was bordered on two sides by walls and a cliff on the third, so I only needed to build one wall. Future excursions will be getting on top of that wall and bridging to where I have to go so I don't have to walk on foot and get torn apart by pigmen.

Any advice on good food combos? I started out by picking the carrot seed reward and drank carrot juice for ages. Then I got a potato farm going and I've been making fries. I feel as though I could probably start eating better food than that too. Candied pork, perhaps, but I don't have a pig farm set up yet. Also, holy crap those cooking quests.

Also, Direwolf20 built a flowing water trough* over his automated system that carried the items to a regular hopper. Seemed pretty nifty, though I'm not sure how it compares resource wise to President Ark's suggestion, though it can be expanded by more sifters per source block. *Video is Pahimar's view, as I haven't actually watched DW20's videos in a long time.

Mining it with silktouch will prevent explosions, but will still aggro everything. Also barrels and crucibles. They accept items from the top, liquids can be inserted, withdraw, from any direction, and items have to be pulled out from the bottom. This also means it's easy to make an automated source of clay or soul sand. Also, if you are having problems with mobs not dying when falling in your tower mob grinder, you can line the floor with Punji sticks, or iron spikes, and if you don't care about the fire immune, pour liquid metal into it. Liquid metal will burn mobs, players, and critters, but won't burn items. It's lava that burns without the fire.

In Hexxit, is there some weird shortcut key that makes it so that you can't drag and drop items in your inventory that I might have pressed by accident? Suddenly I can only quick swap items on my hotbar, instead of dragging things in and out of my inventory.  Edit: I found the option in an inventory submenu, no idea what button it was, but I just turned the shortcuts off entirely. Geez.

How are you all making your mob droppers? the one I used way back when used water to push stuff, and I imagine that just ends up having endermen port around if they have the room to spawn in there. Do they get hurt by other liquids? Can I push them to their doom with milk?

I set up a basic water one really early on and yeah, endermen were EVERYWHERE. I didn't have a way to shut it off so I just dug the bottom out so mobs just fell into the void. That obviously doesn't work for endermen. I had at least two porting around at any given time. The fuckers would teleport directly into the middle of my screen and then get all pissy. It got so annoying I eventually had to use a charge out of a flight potion I got from a quest to fly up and light the inside up. I did make out with a couple of stacks of ender pearls, though.

Yeah I just let them spawn and wander around so I could get ender pearls. Eventually I will dismantle mine and make a grinder farm. Or put conveyor belts in there instead of water. Right now though, I'm about to set up a tree farm. As it so happens, I managed to somehow acquire an unusual sapling... Should I? I definitely do not have the power to run my harvester full time right now but...

I think you also have to make the interior surface of the actual drop portion of the tower out of glass so that spiders can't catch it and break their fall. You'll have to then coat that in cobblestone again to keep the light out.

So I decided to take a break from the crushing tedium that is Galacticraft and instead head off and kill the Ender Dragon for the first time ever. The fight was kind of easy; Infernal Mobs has screwed me so many times I kind of assumed the final battle would be similarly amped up, but it didn't appear to be at all, and it turns out that Dragon vs. Iron Man On Steroids is a very short and uneven matchup. Then I stepped through the ending portal. What the gently caress did I just read    is this the result of one of the mods or does this happen in stock Minecraft as well?

Eh, if the guy likes throwing money at charities it was for a good cause and everyone had fun, and a lot of people (like me) got to see that Minecraft had an "end". I'm looking forward to the summer marathon and seeing how much money they raise then.

There are people who have played even heavily-modded minecraft for years who are unaware The End exists or that there's a dragon. It's just so tacked on and has nothing to do with anything else going on in the game. Why not some King of the Nether, who is perhaps the origin of the undead and suicide bombers on the overworld?

Either would have been more interesting than the half-assed End. I mean, I knew kinda about the end, but didn't know about the ender dragon until I saw it mentioned one time and looked him up. I was still not at all interested in going to a dimension full of the most annoying enemy and fighting him.

Notch had tweeted images of the terrain generation for the End before implementing Endstone and the like. Some magazine noticed it (PCGamer?) and decided to run an article that Notch was adding in sky islands based on at tiem popular player request without actually contacting Notch to comment. Notch immediately corrected them over twitter that it was for no such feature and was kind of ticked off that they decided to run the article without confirming what the image was (gaming journalism  ), but not a lot of people saw Notch's response because OMGSKYLANDS.
