Well, I did this. In survival. For some reason.  It's the maximum size without editing the config file: 32x32x48 I had no idea what I was committing to when I started, I really thought it would be pretty quick and simple (Which is I guess how most ridiculously lengthy and complicated projects in modded Minecraft start out). I had well over 50k Iron and 150k redstone (for making the blizz powder). After barely getting through half of the control rods and about half of the cryotheum I was flat broke. All my iron gone and no redstone left at all. I should have paid attention to the recipes instead of just throwing them into the autocrafter and hitting ten thousand for everything. Thank gently caress for magical crops and QuarryPlus. I managed to regain my supply and finish it off, but it took an extra day and a half. Don't even get me started on filling something this size with gelid cryotheum - it doesn't flow. Every cube there is a single bucket of the stuff. Thanks for the advice earlier on floodgates, by the way :P Here's the control rods. All 338 of them.  It takes over 62,000 Yellorium. Just for fun I transferred it in via four ports from my ME network with stacks turned off. It took over an hour and a half to fill up. Here are the figures:   Now what to do with it? Is there anything more interesting than just running MFR lasers? I have magical crops and I'm working on a void age to do that as lag free as possible, which will always be faster and more efficient than lasers, so what to do with all of this power? I'm running FTB Monster which is MC1.6.4 and I'm not against adding in mods to make use of the power. I wish I could add RFTools to this modpack to mess around with dimensions. *Sigh* This makes me think there should be a mod that adds a machine that can fabricate any object in the game with the only price being energy. Massive amounts for the rarest stuff.

That's where IC2 somehow steps in and has something that does just that; suck up extreme amounts of power to create uu-matter that can in turn be crafted into fairly mundane materials. But if you can produce that monstrosity you've basically have a near limitless supply already.

I was seriously considering running turbines off it (Especially thinking about having to fill it with cryothium) , but I have no experience with them at all and the project had already taken way longer that than I thought it would, along with way more resources. Also, there's no ludicrite in this pack, and I hated the idea of having to settle for second best. That mentality basically made me fire up FTB: Infinity about seven seconds after I turned the reactor on. What is wrong with me. (It's about time I moved past 1.6.4 and I really want to play with RFTools dimensions.) Edit: \/\/\/ Hmmm, ok. Thanks. I'll keep it in mind for my next go at it.

From what I remember of the mechanics of turbines, there's two other materials that'll just take more blocks to cap it out. For example, enderium can be used and you'll only add one or two more to the height of the turbines. EDIT: Ah, I'm wrong. If you want to scope out making the most of your turbines if you do continue with your monstrous power setup, this will show you optimal dimensions for the materials you have available.

Input/output ports are limited to 50B/t of steam (~25? turbines) which you'll hit with a much, much smaller reactor if you are going to go the turbine route.

Why isn't my greatwood sapling growing in regrowth? Does it just take a long time? Also do I need golems to automate harvesting crops or is there an easier way?

Also do I need golems to automate harvesting crops or is there an easier way? greatwoods take a hilarious amount of time to grow, they also need a lot of space golems are basically the only option for harvesting crops, the only other thing is forestry, whose autofarms require forestry fertilizer, which requires apatite, which can only be produced by bees and those bees need an apatite ore block as a flower maybe the orechid can spawn apatite? haven't tried

For once, your best option actually is golems  Though a big field and a scythe sure helps a lot before then - if you've got a scythe in hand, then right clicking will harvest a 3x3 square

ProjectE is an awful mod that ruins the game (but is fun briefly or in something like hardcore mode on mad pack), but that's not a swastika or even anything close to a swastika.

Only a few build-once items like chargers and meteor compass. There might be 1 or 2 others - those are just the ones that I found when I asked the same question. But ^ is right, just make a charger and then you don't have to worry about not having some on hand in case you do end up needing it for something.

I've been having considerable trouble getting FTB: Infinity to run for more than 15 minutes without the Nvidia driver crashing. (Error code 8). From what I understand, this is a pretty common problem but from what I've read, there is no fix. Does anyone have any idea how to prevent this from happening? A game that takes this long to load is impossible to enjoy when you spend a good sixth of your time restarting it.

I think it's v340.52 that doesn't have the issue. I saw a bunch of people discussing it in IRC, apparently a few mod and mod pack authors had this problem after updating their video card drivers. The issue is supposedly caused by other programs using opengl, primarily firefox/chrome with accelerated graphics or flash player. One nerd said it's caused by journeymap if you don't have it set to opaque. If you don't want to downgrade you probably have to turn off accelerated graphics and make sure you don't have any flash stuff open (even paused) while playing minecraft. Someone claimed if you open minecraft and then your web browser the issue might not happen? But I don't know. I'd probably just go with the older driver version but you could also try these goofy attempts at fixes. Khorne fucked around with this message at 08:18 on Oct 27, 2015 |

Is there any way to check for instability in a mystcraft age? Or to turn it off once a world is created? I run the server myself. I made a mystcraft world with no pages and it appears to be a stable void world. I don't want to build my base there and have a big surprise come up. edit: Upon closer inspection it appears that it's actually a book to the Spectre World from random things. Oh boy. That's exciting. It appears twice in the cofh tps list, as dimension "sdf" [3] and SpectreWorld [3]. I'm really excited about this exciting mod interaction, but seeing as it's only me playing there I might still be lazy and build there.

I'm playing OMPi single player, and I have a really odd glitch going on: items keep rubber-banding when they're in my inventory. Like, I'll put one in my hotbar and take it out, and while the sprite and name will update it'll still be the previous item: torches will place, etc. The only things I've done differently as of then are: Using both Forestry and Thermal Expansion backpacks Using inventory pets Built two Telepads. Other than that? Just exploring. Not really sure what this could be - it's not tick lag, and it happens no matter where I am.

Okay I finally got sick of Solitary Asylum, since it gave me access to Thaumcraft 3 then somehow managed to disable the Wand of the Adept so I couldn't progress past the basic functions. The main purpose of it being in the pack seems to be all the warded stone and doors. The only thing you need to do via Thaumcraft is make a stack of Alumentium. Anyway, I was basically done with everything I wanted to do. I was about to easily breeze through the next two doors, and then there were two doors after that that were bee-themed that I was absolutely not going to do. After that was the final door, which seemed to mostly be about farming diamonds so you can outright buy the stuff needed to make the blocks... except for the 1 billion EU you're supposed to pump into an IDSU. That takes 7 hours. Also I looked at a video of someone "beating" the map, and it's loving broken! The final door can't be opened because the item detection setup is wrong. Oh, and it's kindof shoddily constructed, as Galacticraft is installed for seemingly no reason, alongside Harken Scythe for, again, seemingly no reason.

Wolpertinger posted:I'm kind of amazed you bothered getting that far on that torturous sounding modpack. Yeeaaaah it was pretty drat grindy. Sometimes I just... have this urge to play modpacks like that, to see where it goes, for the satisfaction of completing a difficult task, and to find what clever ways I can find to circumvent part of the progression. Notably, in this modpack, it is not explicitly stated that you aren't allowed to bypass walls via methods other than building over them. Therefore, you can longsword-jump over, jetpack over, throw an ender pearl over, etc. It's stated you can build over walls if you have access to both sides of it, which again means you can escape by building onto the wall and walking along the wall to other "inaccessible" areas. My personal favorite technically-legal progression skip, though? Using a redstone torch(torches are ok to break/pick up) from the spawn room to open a door in the back that leads outside. You can instantly win the map without breaking any rules.
