Mining from the Nether is a bit of a crapshoot, honestly. It's better just to make the seeds.

However, you can skip the tool hardness progression entirely by making a Botania Rod of the Shifting Crust. (It's Botania's version of the Wand of Equal trade.)

You need diamonds to make the Sloth Rune, though. Pair it with a Rod of the Lands and set the transmuted material to dirt to keep from having to carry a bunch of chaff blocks around.

Oh my no, this isn't true at all! Magic seeds supply all needs! If i had to create steel, it was only a few - just enough to build a basic machine and get past some of the requirements.

I'm playing Regrowth right now and I've got both diamond and redstone without making a single piece of steel. What recipes are you seeing?

e. How do I get Storage Drawers to interact with JABBA barrels?

Stick them beside the drawers, assign an item into them and then lock the barrel, then when you put items in the controller, they go into the barrels.

Yeah, I put making the third transmutation stone on hold to work on some of the other questlines, including the one to make a blast furnace. And to sort out storage before I became even more overwhelemed by a whole new tier of materials to manage.

Because "Muh vision!" and artificial difficulty I guess. Same reason why everything in IC2 explodes or all you are left with is a machine case if you try to mine it with a pickaxe, or even a silktouched pickaxe (they 'fixed' people using silktouch to pick up stuff).

I tried getting started with FeedTheBeast after watching a couple twitch streams. My previous minecraft experience was pretty limited and never got to the endgame since there wasn't much going on. FTB is kind of overwhelming with what's going on, and the tutorial/quest aspect of Blightfall looks like it'll be pretty helpful.

Is there anything I should know before I get too far into Blightfall?

I just wanted to dig this back up and say that it does look very nice. I hope to eventually do a trial run using it and see if everything works in it. I'm switching to ATG for now so my oregen--and lava pool--settings make sense. The lava pools are kind of goofy in vanilla.

Speaking of regrowth questlines, what unlocks the Make A Blast Furnace and presumably other Railcraft/Forestry Machine related quests? I've already done the Make A Coke Oven thing, and if you've not even made the third stone yet then i must be missing something, since i already have diamonds from there.

Yeah, as far as I've seen with Regrowth, you basically never have to mine except for picking up your initial dirt and for the quest that specifically requests some Nether Ores. Otherwise, if you're running into quests that require something you don't have, you probably just need to work on a different questline.

There's a half-dozen different storage mods (too many, IMO, some of them are just unnecessary). If you've got it, I recommend just going ahead and doing a storage drawer room. A room like this (a room I built in another pack, but you can set up something similar very easily) would work pretty well, and you can lock the drawers. Remember that the drawers themselves just need wood, except for compacting drawers. My preference is for 1x2 drawers.

I like 2x2 drawers; anything that requires more than 4 stacks of something I put in it's own barrel. That room plus a bunch of super crafting frames on slaves to pull from them are the best thing. I looked into making a storage drawer-aware crafting table, and it's totally possible and doable with the public api.

Something else people might not be aware of - you can store essentia jars in the drawers! It works!

Cool. My next question then is about exactly how the files need to be laid out. Installing Cauldron on the server put a Libraries folder in the main directory, along with 3 jar files. Do I just copy all the folders for the modpack into that same directory as the libraries folder?

2. BACK UP YOUR poo poo. INCLUDING YOUR DADWORLD SAVE. Everybody that plays this makes a dadworld. Or at least that's what is in all the crashlogs I get.
3. Completely obliterate the following folders: bin, mods, jarmods, config.
4. Replace them with the same from the linked archive.
5. Launch that sucker and hold your breath.

Bhodi and I want to turn the pack upside-down, so I'm trying to get this release out to handle 2 months of accumulated complaints and bug reports. I just realized how long it had been, so I did this part now.

Anybody else that wants to turn it upside-down is free to party with us. I think we're putting the config folder in GitHub for starters. I'm hoping some day I can find a sucker that can host a server version for a week and allow some folks on to edit together a tutorial spawn world.

There's a botania tool that spams dirt everywhere ( I think it comes in two levels, single blocks or flood the world). Rod of the earth or something? Its supposed to be for levelling terrain, but if you pillar up a couple of blocks you can use it to cover your base. One thing to be aware of is that it will also fill in underground caverns, so don't do what I did and fill in your entire power station.

Get a Rod of the Lands and a Rod of the Shifting Crust. The latter is Botania equivalent to Thaumcraft's Equal Trade focus, but better in that it can pull supplies from rods in your inventory. Set it to dirt, have the Rod of the Lands in your inventory, and go nuts.

Is there anything that will generate a ton of chunks in a SSP modded world? I don't have the best computer and when Im running around, my world generates looking kind of torn up and blocky at the same time - as in, it will generate rolling hills as best Minecraft can, and then will have a huge 5x6 pillar of just vertical blocks jutting out of the ground and I don't really like the way it looks, I think they are errors from my computer lagging as I generate chunks. Also I want to be able to look at my Journeymap thing and find something like a desert biome without hunting forever for one. But there are a few programs that do this that you can google for, but apparently they don't work on modded worlds? Are there any programs that will do that, or is there a way to get those other programs to work on modded worlds, like a Technic pack thing?

So, I'm tyring to get the server started, but it keeps crashing on load. The crash log tells me it's got something to do with the core file for Project Red, but I have no idea why it wouldn't be able to read the file. All of the project red related jar files are at the latest release version, so I'm at a loss on what to do to fix the issue. Anyone have any ideas?

What? Just have one pipe on each basin/table. The point is to have them set up in series, not parallel. You should never have to "flush" the pipes. At most you'll have to break the last basin/table if you accidentally put in the wrong amount of ore(in the case of basins), or make alloys in a bad ratio.

This was from a bit ago, but I'm not really visualizing this. I've already got them in serial with channels over the top, but all I can imagine is a line of pipes on the side of this with servos, which is a lot of extra servos and pipes. Maybe I'm just not thinking this through right though.

Edit: and set it up how I'm imagining and it just basically only uses the last casting table.

If you have an integrated intel graphics card, there is an issue with that+windows 10+Technic/FTB. There is a workaround if you don't mind using the vanilla minecraft launcher and manually installing forge+mods you like.
