Also, anvil for the future server I think having the triarii lords towers in the overworld would be good for both ease of access and combating the taint

What towers? :p

I'd be willing to bet that a combination of Generators, Furnaces and Tree Farms would be able to get you a charcoal-powered infini-source.

thats actually how I started my mega farm, the issue is that its not consistent so if you need a few generators running for machines, you're good
If you need generators running 24/7, more of an issue

It would seem I cant land while wearing hover boots - i seem to just end up gliding along the floor even after holding z down for a minute :/ as soon as I release it im back to hovering :(

if you're talking power armor, take off the helmet

cheers Ill have to give it a go
On a different note using a rail gun in the same chunk as a nether fortress crashes your client.

Does anyone know the statistical chances of a Zombie dropping Iron Ingots when killed by a player?

Also, is it possible to get Copper and Redstone from bees, and if so, can anyone tell me how? I know sticky resin is possible too, and again could do with learning how- I just bought my apiculture equipment from Corpses, and never learnt how to create it.

Iustis, I need help setting up the refinery in a way that looks cool. All the parts are there except the extra liquiducts.and it technically works as long as you put an RS torch next to the energy cell. it just looks like crap.

Next time you're on, take a look at the setup under the oil tank. Modify it however you need ,just keep in mind that the current setup DOES work so you'll need something like that in terms of where the oil goes and where the refined fuel comes out.

An underground tank for the fuel or a liquid tesseract to pump it in to a different overland tank would be ideal, as the conversion is one to one.

If it can be set to work without the torch, it being there stopping it, it shouldn't be too hard. If not maybe I need to come up with a creative use for levers.

Getting sick of trying to dodge all those open pit quarries in the mining age. Please replace quarry roofs when you are done. I don't care how much work went into it, or how long it'll take.

If we do a mining age in the next server, I will have to insist this'll happen, because the GT recipes will be disabled so more will be easier to make.

Wouldn't be hard to use a lever to invert a torch.

Hmm, so it couldn't take levers directly?

They could just put fences around them at least.

No clue. It's on whenever it gets a high redstone signal and off when it doesn't...

Even fencing it off with wooden fences would be preferable to having these things open to players.

Ours is tastefully walled off.

Now its just a fething pain trying to get unmined areas. because people mine next to the nexus.

You mean like the bridge I had to build for Corpses because they mined a HUGE ASS TRENCH RIGHT OUTSIDE THE NEXUS and the like?

So corpses did it? lmao.

No. Corpses didn't do it. He was just cut off from his home because Captain Price and Mata did it.

&*&^.....Why the heck would you even do that next to the nexus. THINK OF THE CHILDREN.

Mata and Cpt Price, please ROOF the quarries you so tastefully dug.

It isn't even a quarry in their case. It's a bizarre little thing that they have set up that mines everything in front of it, then moves a block forward.

It got worse?

Well, you could automate that to roof the thing afterwards as well.

You know, I am not trying to be an ass, but really, if you block people from areas doing that sort of thing. Oh and there's someone's quarry in the middle of the strip mining area.

I agree with the dislike for people not bothering to walk more than 10 blocks from the mining age nexus before plonking down a quarry.

However, I disagree that people should have to cover their quarries up.

The mining age is there for people to make huge holes in the landscape. If you want to avoid having to walk around other's quarries, make a linking book right at your spot.

Also, because there's no caves and constant day in the mining age, putting a roof over anything makes it an instant mob spawner, so it actually makes it more dangerous if you fall into it.

Ah apologies then. But makes it hard for people who don't know how to use link books (me) However, it also does make it hard because the open holes also generate lag, so I'm crouching around all these quarries because they haven't been positioned well.

Also, how deep is the mining age again?

The holes don't generate lag. If anything they reduce client-side lag, because your computer doesn't have to render all the Xycraft crystals that used to be in the ground there before they got all quarried away.

I think the mining age is about 70 blocks deep or so, just have a look at the minimap coords or F3 when in game.

Quick guide to linking books:
Unlike portals, linking books only go one-way, so if you want a way to get back, you need two linking books. To do this you just need two books (i.e. leather and three paper).

Step 1, make your "get me home" linking book:
Stand somewhere in your home that you want to appear when you travel home.
Place one of the books in your crafting spot in your inventory.
Get the linking book.
Keep it in your inventory, but don't do anything with it yet.

Step 2, make your "get to the quarry" linking book:
Go to the mining age, navigate your way to your spot and stand where you want to appear when you travel to your mining spot.
Place one of the books in your crafting spot in your inventory.
Get the linking book.

Step 3, put the books on stands.
Make a bookstand (two sticks and a plank of wood) and place it down near your spot in the mining age.
Now put your "get me home" linking book on that bookstand.
Right click it and click in the coloured area to go home
Put another bookstand in your home and place the "get to the mining age" book on that.
Now you can right click that and click in the coloured area to go back to the mining age.

Step 3 can be replaced with crystal portals if you prefer attaching the books to portals

There's more than one stand that you can use, by the way.

If you look across the Mining Age, in fact, you can see Crystal blocks-- which you can use to make portals you simply step through, as seen in the Nexus.

You need eight crystal blocks in a square with an empty middle to make a Book Receptacle, and then you need to make a circle to hold the portal itself like you would for a nether portal (although it can vary in size, unlike the nether portal!). Put the receptacle somewhere on the crystal formation (aside from in the middle) and put a book in there... and bam, portal.

Still need to make the linking books of course, but I find that this is a bit less hassle than right clicking a stand when the server's laggy.

Well dark, the second thing would then be to FENCE your holes. Either with frames (takes a few minutes) or fences.

Or cobblestone fences.

Or just dumping some sand.
