its not even done generating yet, one thing at a time but I want to experiment with how this works to make complex shapes, when I was done with that I was planning on possibly giving it multiple floors (but that would make it hard to self-heal) or open up the ceiling and cache the terrain so it auto regenerates as well so it can be an open battlefield that heals itself or somesuch
No that's fine I'm well aware it's still generating (you can see it happening). My main concern was that you were going to just do that cylinder as it is and then say "Done" and go home. If you have plans for adjusting the final look, then cool, that's all I was asking.

just wait for it to finish then you can visit
I'd like to know what your computer cant handle? im thinking its either the steam power plant or the pipes leading to my ME system (which are rather busy requesting cobble atm)
there's actually only like 6 blocks that are building it, everything is being shipped from off-site, so you "should" be OK to visit and check it out
The exterior decorating is what I'm for. Sorry I haven't been on for a bit, though. Cranked my shoulder. Just saw a chiropractor, and it turns out I squished a disk in my neck. can't really do vidjagames for a bit.

Scroll up. It's even on the same page.
Grundz, I've turned off the Forcefield for now, because the lag was making the game unbearable. You can generate the rest when people aren't trying to play.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Ah actually, the source of the lag was a stone transport pipe was in one of the packagers in the crazy compressed cobble generator. So there was cobble everywhere. Fixed it by removing the clogged pipe.
Well, I've finally decided to join you all again and Unleash my desire for more FTB fun
Amazing I haven't died yet, so that's a plus.
But NEI doesn't seem to be working properly, I can bring it up but I can't see the list of items/blocks on the side. Anyone know what I can do to fix it?

Actually I had to make further adjustments to the system, because there were loads of pipes that didn't lead anywhere and were just firing cobble out everywhere. You said you'd made an adjustment to his system last, soo....

Not that, either. I can see the setting and subsets button EDIT: Nope, still broken. Unsure how I managed to fix it once only to have it break again...

You can reset NEI's saved settings to try to fix it:
Close Unleashed.
Go to the folder where you have Unleashed installed
Navigate to Unleashed/minecraft/saves
If NEI doesn't work anywhere (singleplayer, multiplayer, other servers etc):
Delete the NEI.dat file and the NEI folder
If NEI only doesn't work on this server:
Navigate into NEI/remote and delete the "176.9.48.109~25585" folder
Start Unleashed again.

Woops! Nice spot! You must be the only person to have tried to craft anything from Xeno's Reliquary (or the only person to report the problem to me). Reliquary was still disabled on the server (probably from the 1.1.2 update), I've re-enabled it now. You should be able to craft things now.
Also, Xeriapt, I found some more essence bushes if you want one.
Next time we're online at the same time remind me and I'll pop over to your place and trade you one.
Hey dark, I haven't had much of a chance to get on (and when I do, I've not felt like doing minecraft), but if you get on you can feel free to take your payment for our trade It's at my mining age quarry.

Cool, no worries.
---------------------------------------
Now, in completely unrelated news, and coming from a conversation I had in-game last night, I have decided to add a new rule to the server.
It really is a shame (and slightly ridiculous) it has come to this, but here is the new rule, taking effect immediately from the time of this post:
If you moan, whinge, whine or complain about having to gather resources and/or create or build things in this game called Minecraft, perhaps this particular game is not for you and I reserve the right to ban you without any other reason.
Now I might be blind to any downside to this rule, so if anyone has any legitimate reasons against this rule let me know.
n0t_u wrote: Maybe it should have a three strike system?
Oh yeah, I mean, there is quite a difference between "I will" and "I reserve the right to". I'm not going to ban someone for mentioning that a Quantumn Gravity Suit is hard to get, for example. I'm not going to ban someone for saying "Oh man, I have to go to the nether again!". This is mainly about the whining, particularly the persistent offenders. Most of you are well aware just how patient I am, so if I've never told you personally to stop moaning, you probably have nothing to worry about.
this is why i am working towards building a UU system, so i dont have to go into the nether anymore. it would seem the pigmen are not too happy with my open pit mine anymore.
Yeah, I'm feeling too mentally drained to play minecraft lately. Whenever I start getting used to college, whoops, it's test time-- gotta try harder so that I pass the test But that's pretty much how it's always been.
ok i have been doing research on a UUM system; while i have been able to find plenty of videos they are all using FTB versions where Redpower 2 is in.
I have been trying to build my UUM system in single player so i can get the kinks worked out beforehand. The following is an idea of how i intent do build my UUM system. please let me know if i am doing it wrong or there is a better/simpler way to get the same result.
Step 1: Igneous Extruders
- i started with 4 and got them set up and doing their thing.I hooked these up with iron transport pipes and they lead to 2 chests via diamond pipes and a void pipe.
so cobble flows in one direction and splits off into one of the 2 chests and if a chest is full it gets voided right away, simple enough.
Step 2: Recyclers
i have 1 chest sitting on top of each recycler, each recycler has 2 xfmr upgrades so it can accept the same voltage as the mass fab. my stuck point is how to extract the scrap from the recyclers. normally it would be filters with a timer so perhaps as a substitute a redpower engine (or faster engine) to pull it out?
Step 3: Mass Fabricator
scrap gets piped into the MF, power would be from HV solar arrays hooked up to a HV-transformer that feeds the MF and the recyclers. i could use a different power at some point if needed.
Step 2: Recyclers
i have 1 chest sitting on top of each recycler, each recycler has 2 xfmr upgrades so it can accept the same voltage as the mass fab. my stuck point is how to extract the scrap from the recyclers. normally it would be filters with a timer so perhaps as a substitute a redpower engine (or faster engine) to pull it out?
hoppers, transport nodes, automatic wood pipes w/ gates are easiest -> hardest
Pardon my ignorance in the matter, but are the FTB instructions outdated? I've added "Biomes-o-plenty" and "Hats" and such to the ModPack, but when I try joining the server, it states that I am missing several mods still.
1.5.2 is the Minecraft version, but you should make sure you're loading the Unleashed modpack version 1.1.2. They've made "1.1.3" the Recommended version, but the server is still on 1.1.2.
Click the dropdown that says "Recommended" and change it to "1.1.2", then click the Options tab and click the "Force Update" button. Then click Launch. Once it's launched, quit, and re-enable those mods again (Hats etc) because they get re-disabled when you "force update".
Whenever they finally get around to making 1.1.4 recommended, this will all be much simpler.
4oursword wrote: Are Quarries OK in the Nether? I know they're not allowed for resource gathering in the overworld.
Quarries are a little buggy in the nether (they skip large sections without any real pattern or reason). Also don't quarries choke on lava? Since Minecraft 1.5 you now get single block pockets of lava scattered everywhere amongst the netherrack at all levels (not just the roof).
However, if you still want to try, I think as long as you go a decent distance away and don't just plonk it down right outside the portal. Also try to avoid mining out near anyone else's portal (I have seen at least one regular vanilla nether portal).
You might find just making a Tinker's Construct hammer and carving out a decent area manually might even be faster than a quarry due to how quickly netherrack breaks compared to the quarries' set speed.
I have a pair of hammers I can use so I'll give that a shot if I need to. Cheers dark!
In other news, anyone selling/giving/trading/pooping tin? I'm a bit low.
What's probably the most effective method for producing large amounts of power infinetly? The major snag being that it needs to be able to work underground so no solar panels.
(I may well end up using Solar Arrays or ultimate panels in the Mining age and using tesseracts to ship the power over but im a little way off that.).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

define power, without powerconverters you need to generate everything on its own MJ, EU, fortron, whatever
I'd suggest starting with an underground force tree farm (I can provide lots of force saplings and ingots to get you started) squeezers to turn it into liquid force, and then water or milk as the buffer for the force engines, once you have a self sustaining system you can start leeching off logs to create force-charcoal-stuff and run a standard boiler with it that you can turn into EU with a turbine
either that or a regular boiler with charcoal to make Mj with steam engines, to an oil fabricator, to make fuel, once thats all setup you can make a fuel powered steam boiler and it is more than self sustaining
or start from the other direction and use geothermal genrators and nether lava
It does, but it's unnecessarily complicated and you have to craft stamps and paper for every trade, which is not easy if you haven't done anything with bees.

storage -> force field generator with stabilization modules
How would one go about setting up a system so that once an Energy Cell is full, a red-stone signal is emitted which when inverted will allow me to turn of a bank of engines? And to make it really fancy is there any way to then send this signal across ages?
Many thanks in advance

put a pipe next to it
put a gate on the pipe
set gate to "when can store energy, emit redstone signal"
use that redstone signal to turn on the engines
note if you are drawing power from those engines and the cell is constantly at like 99.9% used the engines will never warm up and it will be super inefficient.
Optio wrote: Sweet thanks - It is going to be powering some machinery but it will be off most off the time - its for my ME grid.
ME grid constantly soaks power so you'll have problems with the engines turning on and off
a better choice would be to have your machines attached to this cell since they dont run all the time, and have another redstone signal come from a pressure plate in front of your me crafting station
that way the engines will only turn on when you are standing at your ME, or your machines need power, thats what I did until my energy production was high enough to just leave everything on
another idea might be to have the cell not output power unless it gets a redstone signal, and have the cell attached to the pressure plate
that sounds interesting but im doing everything in a wakey way.
My main storage is being done using solar panels in the mining age.
I'm just going to turn on the crafting section using a dark ME cable when I want to use it.
My power is coming from lava from the nether so im trying to find ways to just save it a bit instead of having engines running constantly.
The ME side along with the IC2 machines is being powered by Geothermal generators linked to an MFSU while the bulk of the other work will be done by magmatic engines linked to a cell.
I can then just turn it off when im not using it and let it replenish any lost energy.

I think they stop transmitting on a redstone signal period, its the mffe that needs a redstone signal to output the higher voltage
Grundz, it's indisputable that many of your machines are badly optimised. They've been known to lag the server to the point of unplayability.
Also.they've stopped people from even being able to play at least once.

Just because one user may have a decent system, that doesn't mean that every other user does. Lagging the server out because your system can handle it fine means any users that're below those specs are going to take a much greater fps hit. So youknow, don't be selfish, play nice, give to charity and what not.

No need for threats.
edit: double post
I'm sorry you play on a commodore64?
Also before you start on about how they should get better computers, maybe someone should build better machines.
Seeming as it's causing quote a problem, I'll be willing to go in and collect materials from grundz for people who are unable to enter without something bad happening. I've been to his bases many a time and can handle it. So if anyone wants something from grundz just ask and I'll do it.
Has someone been fiddling in my base or have things just been disappearing and changing there set ups by themselves?
There used to be some stairs here that led to the ones going up the side. Now there is one? I only put them in yesterday and now there is 1 left...
Also one of the direction configs on a furnace changed in my automated smelting system which ended up with a backlog and me losing god knows how much metal. I've not touched that in a long time either.

...I for one liked the Commodore 64. =(
The weird part is, my spare computer, a stock, compaq 8200 (a $350 box), which is hardly a workhorse, runs my area like a champ, my previous spare PC, which was a friggen optiplex 745 (which is less than $150 brand friggen new, it had an old video card in it and some extra ram to be fair, also had little issue with my old area which apparently took people to their knees.
I submit that these folks have issues with their PC's so IDGAF. I'm sorry the public resource dome is too close to my area but it had to be for power concerns, but you can see my area from orbit and the ocean around it is filled with blood, just don't come over here and you're okay. If you need/want to trade i'm more than willing to enderchest you stuff or put it near spawn.
Also: Who's base is built into a hillside with tons of warded stone, an effecient steam system copied from mine, lots of steam turbines/uu creation, a really neat smeltery, 2 ME systems, ect?
Opio: I've had some weirdness with stairs too so it might be that.
Or... you could just admit that your machines are poorly designed, to the point where Dark has had to fix your unfortunate design choices a couple dozen times over the history of the FtB server-- and that's just the designs that were so bad they slowed down or even crashed the server.
Shifting the blame like that seems silly.
Anyway I repeat: Anyone have any of that blue tinkers construct ore? Haven't found it the last several times I went in to the Nether.

Super far north? Sounds like me!
Steam system isnt really copied from yours. Sort of a parallel evolution there. it used to all feed into one cable, but after seeing yours I flipped em facing up.
And I actually have 3 ME systems... Or rather one primary and two subsystems for iron and uu matter respectively.
I dont mean to toot my own horn, but my base has a good amount of fun features that Im pleased worked out how they did!
Congrats, you're the first recorded visitor to the island.
Thanks. I have the tools to mine Cobalt or Ardite (the blue and gold metals. respectively, required for Manyullyn, Tinker's Construct's best material) and the tools to refine them. Just need to find the ores or trade for them. Once I have them, it's a 2:2::1 ratio, I believe, of cobalt/ardite ingots to Manyullyn ingots. So one Cobalt and one Ardite ore each in a TC forge results in one Manyullyn ore.
They're nether ores. I think Ardite spawns near the top of the nether, but I have no clue where Cobalt spawns. Near the bottom perhaps? Since it's buggy to make nether quarries, you sort of need to mine them yourself :/ they seem much rarer than quartz.

Pretty cool stuff, i clicked on a book and found myself there, I need to bother you later for some warded stuff, I was trying to scout around but you had alot of armored sections so I couldn't Keeping the steam down to 4 engines (80% liquiduct usage) keeps everything from blowing up.
Yeah I really future proofed the area... Almost overkill .
I actually have a massive conduit buried that carries primary EU, ME storage, and MJ power that is covered in a layer or two of Mazestone xD
It's a surprisingly robust system that can maintain power for several days pending a catastrophic failure above ground. (big explosions, for example )
All still a work in progress, but Ive a bunch of plans for the surrounding areas
As to the warded blocks- sure thing. just lemme know and I can start manufacturing them!
Yeah I noticed that, I found that hallway and have something similar but its just cut through rock
On my base I used clear glass as the floor which shows off the machines but I suppose can be confusing, I'd like to do some wardstone/arcane doors and build out the MJ factory a bit at some point.

The blue ore in the nether is cobalt right? Iv found it at all sorts of levels so Im not sure if it has a specific spawning range.
You could try just getting away from the nexus portal in the nether and setting up some sort of auto mining. Might take a fair bit of exploring otherwise.
Server's being unusually laggy tonight. I kept getting spiked every so often :/
Other people were having connection troubles as well--- Server having a bad night?
In other news, I have a mining bore and have begun the nether mining process.
Unfortunately, it would appear that cobalt and ardite are rather rare xD
Here is the source of the lag:
Lots of ingots being scattered everywhere in the mining age, and tons of cobble everywhere (and I can see lapiz etc too).
Whoever owns it, if I get to it before you do, it's all getting voided.
Ugh, that design is all so spread out as well, with volume of items that large wouldn't it also create some lag just by how they travelled within the pipes or did they fix that?
I think it's Optio's system. His quarry was feeding into the enderchest, which was hooked up to his ME system, but he'd turned off the ME system to save power....
I've turned off the quarry and adjusted the pipes to void cobble (just use an Igneous Extruder if you need cobble).
Is this a glitch on the map? I'd really like to believe so, since I haven't had the chance to log on lately. Cause if it is not, this is the single most hideously constructed structure I have ever seen which clearly, overshadowing any purpose it could possibly hold, exists merely to compensate for something its builder is lacking. No excuses would be enough to give this thing the right to exist.

It was already discussed a few pages back. It's not a glitch (well not a glitch in the map at least).
I'm pretty sure it would be in view from the building I had been constructing in that forest. His other stuff while large was alright since it wasn't in the way and actually looked like it had real effort put to it. This though, just annoys me and there are few things left that do so.
When I build somewhere I take into account how it looks with the area around it; to try to work with and get the most out of the surrounding area cause if you're going to build something I think you should put effort to it so you can have something you enjoy looking at. But, now there's just some giant **** flopping about in the background.
Then please get rid of that ugly piece of gak. It's right fukcing next to our property. It needs to die a horrible death.
I haven't had a chance to play recently so I haven't been paying too much attention to the map. THen I find some donkey-cave has built this giant tube of ugly within sight of our buildings....

Really? because you already commented on it multiple times? I guess short term memory loss?
I'm working on resources to start the next phase of cylinder prime
From the map I couldn't guess if it was close enoughto see from our property. Actually logging in, it is. Our property which was there WAY before you started building your giant cobblestone... shaft.

That is me but it should not be doing that...
The ME system storage is not turned off, just the crafting part - there is a series of solar panels feeding into it that is powering the storage at all time. I have found that when I spawn into my mining age base when i've left the server after a restart it dumps everything on the floor for no reason from the pipes, it tends to clear up after a couple of minutes - It just seems to be a bug with the pipes.
The system worked fine with my old quarry as long as I simply did not log out in that part of the base. I have not touched a single thing in that system either since I first set it up until yesterday when I said about the fact that one of the machines had changed its output and clogged it up but that is now sorted and was working fine all yesterday evening.

Yeah apparently it died just as/just after I logged on, like literally I logged on and didnt click on anything yet, do chunk loaders load when the player that owns them logs on? (would help narrow it down at least)
This all seems wacky because I haven't really done anything in the last week or so besides recover from the mass fabricator explosion, the dome is on (but its been on for like a month) and I haven't made any liquid-based changes since the cylinder went up.

Are arcane transmutatir tables disabled on the server? There are of an equal use and standard of the mass fab and requires equal work to get access too
The Dark Apostle wrote: Are arcane transmutatir tables disabled on the server? There are of an equal use and standard of the mass fab and requires equal work to get access too
I have not disabled them, no. Have you actually tried to make one?
Off the top of my head:
IC2 Nukes (on the two servers where we had them enabled, they were really only used for "hurrr, I made a hole" and griefing)
Mystcraft Inkwell (to prevent people creating "disarm" link books)
Mystcraft Book Binder (to prevent creation of additional ages)
VoxelMap Cave Mode (a bit cheaty for finding underground things like dungeons and strongholds)
VoxelMap Mob radar (a bit cheaty for the survival aspect of the game)
PortalGun Moon Shot block damage (it will still suck mobs and players into the portal, just not blocks)
I think that's it, I used to prevent grabbing spawners with the Portal Gun and also limited the EE3 minium stone's durability on the previous server, but I'm not bothering with either this time around as DartCraft has even more overpowered stuff than EE3 and PortalGun. So everything else is just as it comes.

They are disabled through out the mod. Darknnit can activate them. I tried them out and they cannot be researched. But they can be placed. But they do not work in general. They were considered abusable so they were turned off.

Ah interesting. Ok, if they're intentionally disabled I'm not going to enable them.

Good. Its way too op, even for my tastes. You just need glass, lapis, and silverwood (which are all renewable) and you have unlimited amounts of diamonds.
Though I can't wait for the 1.6 addition of Ars Magica 2
Which is rebalanced. And makes me really happy to see it actually become playable and not abusable like its previous incarnation.
Lapis is just as renewable as Diamonds are. And Silverwood is incredibly hard to get in massive amounts without dupe glitches- as the drop rate for the leaves averages about .5 per tree, you're halving your Silverwood trees every time you cut one down.

Unless if you have a tool that gives you a higher chance of getting silverwood Then no its renewable. You can replicate anything. ANYTHING
So power armor. Replicated. Modules Replicated.
Anything for lower the cost.
Anvildude wrote: What use is replicating power armour? What use is replicating modules? Maybe repping things like machinery, or golems or whatever... But still.
Oh, for those who are interested, don't waste your diamonds on a diamond drill, a power drill (NOT mining drill, the power drill is made in a tier 0 or higher force infuser with force nuggets and a mining drill) can mine obsidian and has space for more EU.

Or, you know, get a Minium stone, make obsidian from blocks of wood, and use that to make an obsidian headed pickaxe with Tinkers construct. It only takes wooden patterns, even!
Anvildude wrote: Silverwood is incredibly hard to get in massive amounts without dupe glitches- as the drop rate for the leaves averages about .5 per tree
This would be true were it not for "good ol' DartCraft", whose ForceMitts ensure that the silverwood has normal sapling drop rates when breaking the leaves... It's not a "dupe glitch", it's an intended change by DartCraft. It's one of the many reasons people are calling DartCraft overpowered (see the drill mentioned above, and the fortune enchants on armor etc).
Dartcraft probably has an "active" item for it (you activate it yourself while it's in your hotbar). But dunno about a passive one like the ones you listed.
It's 'cause Obsidian isn't a 'metal'. And Tinker's is meant as a standalone- there's little built-in cross-compatibility functionality by design. So if you think about it, in a 'vanilla' Tinkers map, you'd have to have gotten at least one diamond before you'd be able to use Obsidian (could apply the diamond to a pick for a single diamond obby mining pick), just like normal minecraft. It's only when you add in Minium stones (and their ridiculous 2 logs for obby price) and Steel (which has a Cobalt mining level...) that you get into superfast Obby tools.
Optio, your Enderchest backed up again, which made the quarry spew items all over the floor again. I voided them all again to stop the lag.
Notice to all, it's generally a good idea to have systems in place to automatically shut things off if storage gets full (or power/fuel runs out), even if you think it's unlikely/impossible that such a situation would occur. Buildcraft gates, MFR rednet, computercraft, openperipherals or just plain "last route goes to void pipe" can help here.
Optio wrote: Ok thanks for letting me know :/ looks like im just generally cursed in ftb at the moment
put a gate on the chest, on full emit redstone, invert the signal to a wireless transmitter, put a reciever next to the quarry, done
things get wonky late at night due to the server coming up and no one logging on or walking to other ages, so you cant always count on the enderchest working (I just recently had to setup a super-barrel to handle charcoal production for the same reason)
It is not the chest unfortunetly but something I just read up on Tesseracts. Basically they dont send a packet of Mj's until they receive a complete charge off 100Mj. So although every tick im producing enough MJ to run the system including the 25% loss it is not actually receiving it fast enough to keep up. So I need more power still to get the energy sent faster.
I probably incorporate your idea in the future though as a fail safe.
So, I was trying to dig downwards in order to make a facility in the Promised Land when the server went down for scheduled restart. When the server came back, two entire chunks had been reverted to their original state and I lost everything in there including a quarry, some diamond pipes, an ender tank, four magmatic engines, and some redstone conduits. It's kind of a big loss for me.
The scaffolding is still there from the quarry and won't disappear. Is this a common bug in Promised Land?
It's literally just those two chunks, and the quarry scaffolding isn't even disappearing because of this reloading bug.

Sounds similar if not exactly the same as the "Endertank/chest + Quarry + TwilightForest = chunk reset" bug. I'll return the items in this case, but the only way to avoid a repeat occurrence is to avoid using Endertanks/Enderchests in the same area as the quarry. Liquid/item Tesseracts are ok I think.

Just use turtles.
Edit: Abso, what texture pack is that?
Automatically Appended Next Post: Found a way, I'm going to drown the buggers rather than killing them with Fall Damage.
Quicksand would probably work good, i used to have a quicksand pit in front of my house on the test server with pipes underneath to collect goodies.
Pretty sure I fell in it more than mobs did though.
If you have the time to make them magnum torches prevent mob spawning within 64 blocks, which is pretty good protection, if anyone does go through this bother make extra potions and i'll buy them off you
grinders kill the mobs, and poop the drops out the back, no need to kill them with lava or whatever, pretty nice There are also blocks called item collectors that will poop items into any attached pipes the moment they touch the block
I'm not using the Grinder for this because they need powering. Drowning is free, not to mention it makes Soul Shard creation easier- I want to have a Wither Skeleton Soul Shard eventually, no matter how useful MFR Auto-Spawners are.

thats totally doable, grey grey white is my enderchest frequency if you drop them in there i'll drop stacks of appropriate materials in for when you log on next, or just catch me online

Substations will go up first, then the polls/power lines/loaders
Each poll will be stopped with a MFE or two, this is where you will draw power, drawing power directly from the power lines will end VERY poorly for your machinery especially if I accidentally put super high voltage through it, just draw off the mfe's and everything will be cool

Hey can someone help me set up an ME system. It seems I will be needing it to organize all my items, I plan on building a big generator, but I need to have steel and steam tanks.
I mainly need to have renewable energy, to power all of my machines and build a chunk killer machine so that I can have a constant influx of materials.
Don't look at me, Grundz. The closest I've gotten to your base, aside form that one building you built way too close to our pink doorhouse, is looking at it on the map

I'm setting up an MFFS
in my defence;
I was using your mob spawner, you saw me yesterday and didn't say I wasnt allowed
I was not modifying your setups
I didn't break them and again didn't change them just turned a redstone lever that you saw me do yesterday and you had said nothing
when I tried to turn it off I died and then lag took over (my wording of "tried to fix it" was bad, what I meant was I tried to turn it off)
but I guess thank you dark, and my pals on the server. please hand my stuff on to anvil or any members of the trarii and return the stuff in the resource chest to grundz (youll know its the right chest when you see a few stacks of diamonds)
As I predicted, all the slimes had been despawned. However, the slime soul shard is also missing. Grundz if it doesn't turn up in your system somewhere, let me know and I'll return it.
Public energy grid has started going up but im a little lost as to where to run it to, first tower is in spawn and running over to mondo's place
shouldn't have any issues as long as people dont hook up extremely high load things for a long time, remember its 512eu/t so you should run it from the output side of the nearest MFE, then to your base, then step it down with mv and LV transformers
Whoever clogged the spawn smeltery, your gold, aluminium, and obsidian are in the iron chest next to it in ingot form.
Please research alloy combinations beforehand, and make sure you've got the correct patterns and casts you need before putting resources into the smeltery. There's no excuse for not doing so seeing as how Tinkers' Construct adds a guide book to your starting inventory, and you can access the next book up simply by placing the current version in a crafting grid.
If you're in any doubt whatsoever, then at least make sure there's an ingot cast within reach so that you can easily extract materials from the smeltery without harming the ability to re-smelt them.
Someone's been using WAAAAAY too much uncontrolled magic, I just got attacked by two freaking corrupted wisps while trying to harvest from my farms. I survived, but still, this is getting ridiculous. Who the hell is using that much uncontrolled thaumcraft?
Hey guys, figured i try this out again now i have a good pc. Can't connect to the server though, says it couldnt find some mods even though i tried enabling them all. Help would be appreciated
Public electricty grid is spreading to about 300 blocks around spawn
Each pole is equiped with a light that will light up if energy supply is dried up
there's a chest full of transformers and cable at the substation near spawn for you guys, remember to attach to the output (dot) side of the nearest poll so minimize electricity loss (and also give your base its own personal MFSU)
Please dont connect anything nuts to it, basically just dont attach laser drills or massive electric motor arrays or something to it, the grid is currently supplying 512eu/t X2 plus each MFSU downstream of you, plus some misc stuff, if someone wants to draw more than the poll is putting out let me know and i can build bigger supstations
if someone wants to setup automated construction foam i can do this a lot faster

Dont think its me, I havent been on much the last couple of weeks and theres nothing at my base to increase flux while Im not there.

Two wisps is not a lot. A regular node can generate two wisps if even just a tiny bit of magic is used. A corrupt node nearby would generate a lot more wisps regardless of whether magic is used or not. I have a corrupt node near my place and it's a great source of wispy essence, but I had to box it in to stop it becoming a nuisance first.
If there is one of those Thaumcraft obsidian platforms nearby, they have wisp spawner cages beneath them that spawn wisps regardless of flux level. But they can be easily broken.
Someone with a Thaumometer and Thaumcraft Goggles can find any nodes nearby and see if they are a problem or not.
I am actually living closer then the little hut you posted the link to, though I live in the snow Biome and have no intentions of going any further then the boundaries of the biome in your direction.
Just for clarification the hut is nothing to do with me though
Oh, that hut is mine. It's little more than some protection for a single apiary I have for breeding up some drones that needed to be in an Arid biome. I'd hoped it wasn't in anyone's way, but if it is, I can move it very quickly, as there's not much there.
If you want any special trees or need wool/leather/food, feel free to harvest from my farms, just leave at least 2 animals in each pen and a sapling in each grove.

Oh, it's fine. I was just curious and didn't want to end up with any conflicting projects/tunnels.

Well I'm a buffoon. I forgot to post the link. Here it is.
Looking at the right tower in that link, I can see the Ur-Ghast has been beaten there (the spawner cage is gone and the reward chest is there). The left tower still has the Ur-Ghast spawner cage, so I guess at the very least, the Ur-Ghast has not been defeated in the left tower.

Do not use quarrys on hills. Check the hills first before using a quarry. I was really pissed last time, someone quarried the hill I had been exploring. Check them out before using the quarry please.

It's generally frowned upon, as a lot of the Twilight Forest features are designed for you to go in there personally and take on the challenge, not just lazily plop a quarry on top and sit there slurping your beverage of choice. What do you want to quarry, and why?

There's a linking book to that Carminite Golem spawner in my house, labelled "Carminite Golems". You might need to knock out some torches to get them to spawn. Just leave the spawner there ;-)

After migrating you'll have to use your email, rather than your username. The launcher might still be saving your old data. Clear it and reenter, and you should get it to work.
I found a bug. A big bug.
When i went in and placed my gravel ores in a the tinkers construct smeltery it did not give me any of the copper ore, i clicked it and it just kept pumping the copper, and it disappeared... with all 9 copper gravel ore.... Is it possible i could get reimbursed or should i just deal with it?
Same thing happened to me once when I tried to pour metals into an ingot cast.
Wait for the server to reset. It happened to me the first time I tried smelting cobalt and when I had relogged after the server reset, the smeltery was full of my missing metal again.
Carminite is hard to come by I think, the actual re-appearing blocks are more common and just need a pick/axe to harvest.
I don't have a set location that needs eu, I need small amounts of portable eu, which is why I've been crafting Energy crystals. I was just thinking of popping them in your MFE network for a quick charge when I'm nearby to save me having to set up some system I'd rather I didn't have big power lines running past my place

well if you mark the spot i can run power to there and put a charging station down, for vit I ran a power line to about 100 blocks from his home and then went underground to it to keep things clean
May I just inquire, as I still haven't been ion the new FTB server, what level of lag is the spawn at?
My laptop died last time thanks to all the endless-everything machines, so I would just like to ask what state its in now, if I would be able to finally re-join your ranks

I submit that as I said earlier, ftb runs great on a box that costs less than $150
your problem is very likely not your hardware as much as you want it to be.

Yes if it was the villager spawner I deconned it after people kept leaving holes in it so villagers would escape and continue to multiply, im not sure if the building itself has been blown up yet but I heard that was the plan.

minium stone + 2 wood = obsidian.
my current consumption of nether brick is pretty crazy because infernal stone takes 2 nether bricks and 2 soul sand to make 1 infernal block.
Whenever I use the portal to spawn from the comm. Resource hub, I get stuck on the two-layer brick and have to log out and back in to get free. perhaps that portal needs moved up a block?

I found using the minium stone for obsidian was a bit laborious, would be alright if you had a tree farm or such though.
Unleashed loads so many mods that the Java PermGen flux capacitor thingy gets full to bursting. Adding Optifine and/or a hi-res texture pack ontop of that can push it over the edge.

Dark, during this evening's lag i was shot by a skeleton while working on my base. When i picked up all of my items my excavator was nowhere to be seen. i was up against my wall and i looked everywhere for it and it seems to have vanished.
would it be possible to have it replaced? i can let you know what i used to make it and what upgrades it had.
CBA to do carts, they're kinda awkward. I've been plotting out a path for the wiring to follow with Concrete. Can the system please terminate at the my cave end with a MFSU? I'll throw down some distinctive block where I want it.
Probably, as long as it stays a straight line outside of load-range of your base it should maintain power, just be careful you dont overtax your mfsu
at the range you are at its going to output 512eu but can only recieve like 450ish from the system so just be aware that if the one that it terminates at falls to zero you're drawing too much, if this happens or some other people move in I can put in a substation where it curves up to your base
