Anyone have any clues about the magic bees hives that only spawn in special locations? Far as I can tell there are at least 4 of them, I've found 2. There are these netherrack/yellow ones in the nether that look very similar to Ardite Ore, but brighter colored. They seem to appear with/in veins of nether quartz, proximity to a nether fortress may or may not be a factor. There are Oblivion Hives in the end, and they are easy to find. Just fly under the island and look for obsidian poles hanging down, they will be on top of these, just dig into the end stone to find em. Supposedly, there is one that looks similar to redstone, and spawns in redstone veins, but maybe only in biomes that count as hills? I have yet to find any of these. There is also supposed to be one that spawns in the overworld, near (on?) bedrock, surrounded by end stone. May or may not have to be a "magic" biome, whatever that actually means in the overworld. I did some sample drilling to bedrock on some mushroom islands without any luck there. These hives do not show up in NEI for me, but it's possible the pack I am playing needs to update it's plugins or something. As a side note, it's possible to collect these and the other magic (and I think extra, but not regular) bee hives using the Silk Cutter from Thaumic Tinkerer.

Am I doing something wrong, or does MFR not particularly support the natura glowshrooms? Attempting to make a farm that turns them giant and then chops them down, like you can with vanilla mushrooms. Planters will plant them, and harvesters will harvest the normal sized ones. Immediately after they get planted, even if the small shrooms setting is no. Fertilizers don't seem to make them giant either. Side note, I think the railcraft player trail things that were causing a bunch of problems before are still causing problems with plants growing. My mushroom farm refused to work yesterday since I had stepped through the grow area, but it works fine today now that the trail has timed out. Rubber tree farm had similar issues. Running it in a custom pack on minecraft 1.5.2 with MFR 2.6.4 Side note 2, is there any way to farm Mushglooms from Twilight Forest? I'm guessing no.

That reminds me, some of the thaumic tinker tools say stuff like "cannot be enchanted through normal means" but then suggest enchanting them. Is there some other way that works? Silk Cutter I know mentions this. Maybe something with the magic fabric or whatever? I'd really like to get my wand of dislocation enchanted to not break immediately for example.

Multiblock thing that drops sand or gravel across the engine for power, and then you use conveyors to move the sand/gravel back up to the top.

You just store the oil into tanks and by doing so you become more rich and thus crush more poors into power. It is a metaphor.

Extra Utilities has sound dampening blocks, one for rain, one for animals. It's a good mod. edit: Engine powered by throwing trash items in to burn, so it's an engine and an incinerator. Engine that becomes more efficient the more mods you have installed. Engine that runs on engines. Maybe something that harnesses the suction power of explosive decompression.

Force fields are sort of an alternative to quarries. Set them up with the things that make them break blocks and place them into an attached chest, power it, watch as it beams a hole of your desired size/shape.  You can also use this technique to copy floating islands from mystcraft worlds and then paste them into other dimensions!

mechanicalFactory posted:You have to use the custom mode module. If you use the module that breaks the blocks and puts them into a chest, you can tear the island down and keep all it's component blocks, then move them to your desired location for re-assembly. It takes a lot of time and power but yeah, it's something that does indeed work. You can also use this method to move mountains or whatever, or to program buildings you want multiple copies of, etc. I use it to build 9x9x8 tanks, for example.

I would love to hear other Tinker combos people like. I've made one of those 3x3 range hammers with silk touch for gathering quarry stone and the like. I also did some type of silk touch axe for looting bookshelves from the twilight forest. Can't remember my materials offhand though, this was on a previous server. Probably the nether alloy.

Not sure that anyone in here is really looking for any other mod packs at the moment but I thought I would pimp this one anyway. An internet friend of mine puts this together for us and we have fun with it. it's just been updated to 1.6.4, and doesn't seem to have any major problems at the moment. If you find some, let me know though. The only servers that have ever ran this pack have like maybe 5 people on at most ever so there could be some obscure interactions that break things, hard to say. http://www.technicpack.net/modpack/details/199x-pack.126424 We added in BoP which has made the world a hell of a lot more interesting for sure. It's probably pretty similar to other mod packs out there, originally it was a custom version of Big Dig ages ago. So yeah it has Big Dig style ore distribution, hooray.

Hydrogen Generators from Mekanism are what I use for power. Make an Ender IO reservoir for infinite water, pump that into the electro separators or whatever they are called, output the H into the generators, output to power storage. You give it some power to get started and then you can loop the output back to the separators and it'll power itself from then on. This is the setup I use in all my pocket dimension factories, for example. I usually do them in sets of 5 at a time, if I need more power, just add 5 or 10 more separators/generators. The only real downside is that the wiring can get ugly and they are LOUD so if you are using this in a pocket dimension for example, build them up at the ceiling and the factory at the floor, or whatever. Extra Utils mufflers don't seem to work on them.

When I turn it on, it just grinds up everything alive within seconds and I'm not sure how to make it so I can get it to work without having to constantly restock it with animals through leading them using wheat, or to turn it on, wait for it to begin grinding and then quickly turning it off before it slaughters the whole herd. If you have Soul Shards (reborn, preferably) in your pack, use that to spawn your mobs for free.

What tools/items/etc do you guys like for disabling rain as a non-admin? I'd prefer something science-y but the forestry machine is a bit of a pain. I know there's an anti-rain thing in Totemic, what other options are there? I know about the muffler in extra utilities too, but it's the visuals that cause FPS drops, not the sound.

I'm playing Yogscast Complete and MFR works fine for magic crops. Do beware of the seeds that get extra :numbers on them, make sure you are routing the non-colornumbers versions to your planters. And don't bother with fertilizer, just make dartcraft time torches. I'm not even running it at close to as fast as it could, and I'm still making plenty of excess seeds to turn into bio fuel. The only downside is that you won't get the nature essence you sometimes get if you farm manually.

I'm playing Yogscast Complete and am trying to figure out some sort of elevator doors. Open to suggestions. The main thing is that it needs to be semi compact as the ceiling of one floor is the floor of the next floor. I've been trying Galacticraft airlock doors today which seemed good but the ceiling/floor thing means the frames touch and gently caress it up. I tried drawbridges without much success also, but that might just be me being bad at using them. It would be cool if I could slide microblocks across the doorway when closed and then have it open when a player is near, but that's probably not happening. Any hints on this? should I try doing something with Remain in Motion or Truss or something like that? Alternatively I could use suggestions on what to do for lighting that looks high tech. May end up using Ender IO powered lights, dunno. Light Gun Man fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Jun 12, 2014 |

I've built exactly one Big Reactor thus far and it was a suboptimal build I am sure, but does it's job pretty well. I'm slowly building/moving into a larger base and want to make a bigass reactor there. Is there a scaling point where the size does not work / becomes not worth it? I was thinking cryotheum cooling (passive reactor) as I have a bunch thanks to a mystcraft world, but would enderium be better? Basically my current plan is to just make a big rear end reactor with checkerboard control rods and cryotheum, good plan or bad? I'm hoping I can make it power most of my base and two to four laser drills (at least one of which I will probably tune to yellorium to keep the reactor going).

You can also use a rednet port and a PRC to do this I would imagine. I've got one set with a simple thing that just reads the % of power buffer and feeds that number to the control rods.

Treecapitator should be quick because it mimics real world physics. You don't need to cut every "block" of a real tree to get it to fall down, you just need to cut one and the parts above come down too. Taking extra time per block makes zero logical sense, only balance sense (unless you want to argue that the time represents you cutting each single block). And axe damage is the only remotely logical balance I think it can have while still being a useful mod. Minecraft is already a huge time sink, mods / parts of mods don't really need to be time sinks too. Time spent waiting on a tree to fall is time not spent making your fortress look bad rear end, or whatever. MAYBE they could put in some effort and have it so some trees are harder wood and thus require a stronger axe material or something I guess, but that seems like a feature that would not really be within the concept of the original mod's basic-ness.

Magmarashi posted:Well, 'miming real world physics' is sorta what the mod is supposed to be doing . It's the basis of the existence of the mod, not an argument point being brought in without any context. Yeah, exactly. Someone made the mod because in normal minecraft you cut the bottom of a tree and the rest of it just hangs there in mid air for no reason. The time benefit is also a compelling feature, but I'm sure it had to start with "why the gently caress is this tree floating?".

Mostly bees are a way to automate production of materials, and an in-game "hobby". There are (were?) some things that you could only get infinite amounts of via bee breeding. If you like fiddly things than bees are great because there's all kinds of weird bullshit restrictions on where and how bees will work. You are probably better off just going into Gendustry and having bees make a lot more sense if you want to get into them. There are also effects you can get for certain types of bees, so you can make mob spawners or summon lighting and poo poo with them if you want to.

These days several mods have in-game tutorial books, so that might help. Check NEI for book and you can probably find many of them. Knowing how to use NEI is huge, of course. Click on stuff in the right to get the recipe as you sound like you know, you can also press R over something for this. Press U while over something to get things it's used in, which is a big help. Make sure to click the little arrows that show up on either the R or U screens as there are probably multiple pages of potential info. Extra Utilities actually has text info on one of these pages when you hit U on any of it's items that will tell you more about it. Otherwise...browse wikis, look at videos on youtube if you have to (you probably will), and most of all experiment. Try to think of problems you have in-game and try to come up with a solution. Like if you need a lot of a certain material try to come up with a way to generate it. If you have an excess of a material, try to come up with something to use it for. Another good idea is to gently caress around in creative mode and check out the tabs for each mod you want to know more about and just try poo poo out and see what happens.
