Use Igenous Extruders, they're one-block low lag Cobble Generators from Thermal Expansion. One Cobble Block every 2.5 seconds with no power, water, or lava consumption.

You know there's a single block, that generates infinite cobble, requires no power to run, requires no resources to run, doesn't generate any lag and can output cobble into the pipe or inventory system of your choice, right?

These are so good that I actually recommend people void all cobble from quarries at the actual quarry location (rather than teleporting it across dimensions and then voiding or storing it).

How do I put on a hat? H doesn't seem to work for me...

last time I took your advice I had to void like 3 million sand because I did it wrong
TAKE THAT DARK

**Dr. What**

I had never noticed Igneous Extruders until now.

Upon exploring the wiki, I'm also now in love with Tessaracts.

**darkinnit**

Hmm, Reliquary is enabled on the client by default but disabled on the server by default....

Decisions decisions.

Eh, I'll just enable it, easier than having you all disable it, and like I said, Dart Craft adds a bunch of much sillier overpowered things.

**Deathklaat**

Let the OP flowwww!

its v for me

**zman111**

Ill probably wind up building a public smeltery barn near the spawn if dark forgets to put one into the spawn area

**Asherian Command**

WEll Personally I would rather start from scratch than have people help me.

(Not saying some starting supplies wouldn't hurt. But yet again this is minecraft)

Also could we have unoffical rule not to use power suits with flight (or game breaking jump height) in the twilight forest? It really defeats the purpose of mazes and everything. Also could we make it so people do not use quarries in the twilight forest? At all? We have the mining age for that. So keep it there please.

The twilight forest in my opinion is suppose to be hard. Not taken with the most op power armor with flight where you could fly away and kill bosses from a quarter of a mile away. (or cheating on the dark tower and just flying to the top.)

**Wyrmalla**

Heh, people actually bothered climbing the towers instead of just flying up, knocking a hole in the wall and gravity gunning the boss to death? Its that the loot's a bit meh in the Twilight Forest in general, so I kind of don't see the point in working to get a hold of it. If others want to spend ages trudging through a maze to get a hold of a bucket then that's their decision. =P

Thats the same with the Ender Dragon yet everyone always goes hardcore for that. The Bosses in the twilight forest are no different.

**darkinnit**

If I recall correctly the Tekkit Enderdragon was mining lasered to death and I can't assume Matapata took it easy on the FTB Ultimate enderdragon.

If you don't want people to use flight suits to steal the goodies from Twilight, you'd be better playing it single player where it will definitely remain untainted. I really don't have the capability or the time to patrol the Twilight Forest stopping people

In power armor its an (easy) fight, it is the gravity guns that people just instantly murder all the bosses with

Rather than a blanket ''No Quarries!'' rule, i'd be more supportive of a rule, unofficial or otherwise, which limits Twilight Quarrying to far away. I mean, I like some of the blocks in rhe forest but there's no way I'd quarry them all manually.

oh, and I'm going to need a lot of Clay. Between Coke Ovens, the huge smeltery I plan on creating and Bone Blocks, I will need a metric fuckton of clay. I might just buy some off you lot, in exchange for bees and mosr of the Thaumcraft rubbish I might find. I still have unused Knowledge Fragments on the FTB ULtimate server.

quarries malfunction and dissapear in twilight and the distance from dirt to bedrock is pretty small, it isn't very smart to either way

**Anvildude**

I'd be willing to take thaumcraft stuff in exchange for clay.

And Bone Blocks? Grundz, sounds like you'll have to put a skeleton inside your meat tower.

I'm thinking straight up Oblivion.

Also, maybe limit the Twilight Forest to Magic stuff? Like Direwolf20 did at first. So if you want to quarry out a Hollow Hill, bring an Arcane Bore. Use wands of Lightning and Ice on the Hydra, use the whirligig thing to fly around...

It depends how much help I get, I'm mostly going to set it up as a solid tower and then slowly make it lumpy and add random arms, mouths, bleeding pustules, ect. I'm thinking my machinery and such could be located on boats floating on the blood ocean or inside, not sure yet, a lot of this depends on how much cooperation I get and how quickly I can produce meat blocks.

**Anvildude**

You'll almost certainly have my own help.

I think first point of business is getting Iron and Dark Iron production set up (as well as the meat blocks and blood ocean, of course)- so that the machinery can be put in rusty eevil looking metallic structures. Maybe bronze/brass blocks, for that Dark Mechanicus feel?

**Grundz**

That sounds good, I want to try and get retraining walls up to hold the ocean out, chunk loaders and pumps going asap since I think voiding an ocean will take a while

Yeah So unofficial rule then don't kill bosses unless it is in a legit way?

No real way of patrolling it apart from just it is heavily frowned upon. Just like how we all hated it when someone killed the ender dragon without letting anyone know about it.

Progress report.

Found a bug with the Trade Station (crashes the server), so unlinked linking books will be free because the forestry trade station is silly and over complicated and I'm not adding the vending mod.

I've generated a nice chunk of world from -2000,-2000 to 2000,2000 so you don't all lag the server going exploring (and then complain because it's laggy). I'm going to do the same for Twilight tomorrow (but maybe not as large an area), as that seems to be popular for exploration and also intensive to generate.

I also have to unlock and check the promised land works before "locking" it again for you lot to find and unlock. (It was working fine on a previous release, but best to double check).

Then there's server-y stuff to do, (set up backups etc), get the map installed and configured and working etc, but most of that can be copied from Ultimate.

As long as things go smoothly (and I don't have to attend to any real world tasks

), it could be ready by early Friday evening GMT. Maybe. No promises. I'm still maintaining the nether rule

**Avatar 720**

You can spawn me in your nether.

**Doctadeth**

Woot so a nice weekend of FTB unleashed for me.

Oh my.

Anyway, looks like there'll be another Unleashed update at some point today to fix ID conflicts with the two different versions of MFFS. You'd think they'd have thought "hey, we're adding two versions of a mod, maybe we should check for ID conflicts?" or at least, "hey we've just added three new mods to the pack, shall we keep it in Beta for a little longer?" but oh well, it's all free goodies anyway.

**SagesStone**

Well time to get to work on making a mock up of that house for corpse, meli and I.

**4oursword**

There's a point, I have to design a house. Bone blocks all the way!

**Deathklaat**

playing around in my single player unleashed i have discovered the blood stained bricks from railcraft and they are sweet.

**SagesStone**

Or would be if it decided not to crash...

Edit: Screw it, building it in ultimate instead.
