I think I find too much joy from Thaumcraft hungry chests. I am setting up a bank of infernal furnaces and just like to watch the chests munch on all the stuff that falls out of them.

Unless you're really attached to it, you can drastically reduce the RAM requirement for Simple Life by removing Decocraft. Good advice in general, really!

If you want gnarly custom furniture, you can still mess with Chisel & Bits, too.

How does this affect the quest book, since a lot of those rewards are Decocraft junk?

So there's a Buildcraft alpha up for 1.11.2 and 1.12.2.

The comments are full of people pissed that they're not doing a 1.10 version.

Are any mods still dependent on Buildcraft these days? Or did they all switch over to Thermal Expansion?

If I'm feeding apples to a gourmaryllis at a slow pace, do I still need to jumble up its diet? I was reading that the mana it extracts from one food is inversely correlated to how many times in a row it has received that food. So I am assuming I need to run these apples through a cyclic assembler alternately making apple juice and apple sauce. Does it have enough of a memory to figure out what I'm doing there and thwart me?

It's there to use up all the apples from my tree farm, so I'm not really looking into making it a featured part of my energy generation, but I also don't want it to basically be a garbage can for apples either.

never heard of that, is it new?

I normally just set up a potato farm for a gourm. set a therm (or the one that replaced fuel in a furnace) so it drops baked potaoes on it and its good.

Another super one is a pit of chickens. hopperhock to pick up drops. Dispenser to throw eggs into another pit. The flower to kill adult chickens, then another hopperhock to get the raw chicken into a furnace.

How are you getting enough apples to feed one?

I think it's how much hunger the food is worth. The more fufilling the food is, the more mana you can get with it. a cooked ham will give more mana than however many apples it's worth of hunger, if I am remembering it correctly.

Someone know of a mod/plugin for 1.7.10 that includes a chunk claiming feature that works by command line, e.g. something that could be installed on a server without requiring a client side install? It's become a problem on a server I'm helping run with a friend of mine for GTNH, and while we could just add FTButils, we're trying to avoid making people install something extra client side due to inevitable confusion for frequent new players.

A gourmaryllis only remembers the last food it ate, and how many times in a row, so alternating apple juice -> apple sauce will give you the full mana for both.

Apparently I should've taken the bait on Spice of Life sooner. I've spent more time playing Stardew Valley inside Minecraft since I started GTNH than anything else so far. And no, not out of any remotely real need for the food variety. If you don't care about spamming, you can keep yourself fed on nothing but raw ingredients indefinitely. I got a perverse satisfaction out of making my first supreme pizza from all homegrown ingredients.

Getting Forge on multimc is easy. Getting packs with all the mods and configs? You'll need to install the twitch (or other) launcher and port it to multimc first. That's what us launcher-haters do.

Yeah i have a few mod packs that ive done like that. I have MSB2, Simple life 2 and FTB horizons 3. but i need the forge versons before they will work. Assuming that the instance files from doing it before work on win10.

And i just tried to play the MSB2 on technic, but i just launches vanilla mc?

I find it amusing that a mod which adds nothing but decorative models bloats the RAM requirements way out of proportion while Chisels & Bits lets you build at 1/16 scale within each normal block space and has no perceptible impact on performance.

I don't. It's extremely unstable and has a million unresolved bugs. It really didn't belong in MS2 in its current state. Dev is working on it, but hasn't been able to give it the time it needs. It's an awesome mod, but it's pretty thoroughly busted right now.

Does it? I only ran into the one bug with the nitrogen collector. Then again, I am not using the fusion reactor at all.

I've terraformed and flattened a new area for my base in Direwolf20 1.12, and I'm trying to brainstorm a little bit of the general layout before I start plunking down my storage and processing system.

So far I've got:

1. Refined Storage
2. General manual machine bank area
3. Automated machine bank processing / crafting area
4. Botania
4a. Astral Sorcery
5. Plant/tree area (probably mostly TE phytogenic insulators/cloches so I can put up nice decorative trees)
6. Big Reactor (Compact machines?)
7. Draconic Core and Charging/Enhancement area
8. Void Ore/Resource Miners
9. Bees
10. Integrated dynamics? Maybe? I haven't figured out what this mod really does
11. Mob farms
12. RFTools Dimension stuff
13. Gates (Nether, mining world, twilight, etc)

Any other fun themed areas I should think about?

Integrated Dynamics is mostly about automating other stuff in mods, so it doesn't really need its own "area." If you use it, it'll be interwoven into other complex setups.

I guess you could make a Menril Tree grove and, like, a squeezer/drying basin area. That's about all it needs.

I've started playing age of engineering with some friends who are completely new to modded minecraft. I've been in charge of tool making and just got our first coke oven online so ore doubling is next.

Any tips on what I should steer people towards? I noticed the guide recommends a mining dimension but that seems kind of cheaty. I'm thinking about making everyone some basic gear and throwing them at the nether.

If you ever require more than a billion of anything in minecraft it basically doesn't matter what kind of crazy automated resource gathering system you have, that's too much and will take months to complete if not years.

Yet in Draconic evolution i have a storage system with 53B RF stored in only 2 days. and the largest storage is 2.14T RF and i had 2 of those before the server restart.

and I use enderio Farming stations with octa upgrades providing 40 different magic crops with only 2 pulsers under each crop but it has already over filled my ME system (luckily i am getting both quartz and fluix from the farms.

I've never felt like pulsers were worth it. I dunno, they're expensive and I tried stacking like 64 under one plot and didn't notice a significant change. For that kind of investment the thing had better grow almost instant. What do you want from me?

I haven't figured out an actual use case for Bees yet. But I will one of these days. Mostly I like the aesthetic, and I have to do something with that Seed Oil I'm getting from squeezing the excess seeds from my cloches.

I see a bunch of stuff to do with Genes and Enzymes and Bacteria and Ethanol liquids that seems like it might bootstrap some interesting bee species
