Can somebody verify the use (right click) of vibration catalyst from ae on sapphire/ruby/peridot ore block? I get xp when doing this on a singleplayer world... lots and lots of xp.... without actually breaking the block. Bug or a feature? Edit: I guess it's an exploit or my java got high-wired.

Did you know that using a vibration catalyst on yellorite ore in world will get you uranium and can poison you to death even in modular powersuit (especially with the magnet addon turned on)?

Just remembered something... Don't we have something to transmute obsidian on land to something that can be easy mined? Something like a... entropy accelerator (or maybe other tool)? What does it do with obsidian?

Did you know you can also do this by Ctrl+Shift+Clicking? Note: Not all mods support that.

Redstone Arsenal tools are my friends from the start. The only problems are with the certus quartz ore block (empowering doesn't work as it should) and nether quartz (silk touch with empowering sets them up and pigmen get angry). The nether quartz ore with the Nether Ores mod is very difficult to mine. Even mystcraft doesn't help. Spheres of nether quartz blocks get set up to explode. The only way is block by block with silk touch and that's not the tekkit way of doing things. On the quick obsidian trick: when I've started my world and wanted quick obsidian I turned to Computercraft as turtles mine obsidian just as fast as stone. Edit: We need a 'tips & tricks' topic with this and other like the sewage/block placer xp trick. Edit 2: I've had many axe on tree/wood crashes with the tools. Maybe treecapitator did this. Not concerned by this.

Next time use the search form before you post... With the launcher - no. You have to do it by hand. Here's the topic: '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

My passively cooled reactor (9x9x15) is more than enough to power two laser drills with all prechargers... It has 119 rods... Scale it up and you'll see the result. As for the jetpack.. it's mainly helpful in the quarry pit - when there are minerals in the walls besides the quick transport aspect.

I've made a negatively full drum in singleplayer too.

No. Sorry. The data in the table is for 6 same colored foci per setup so 10-20% chance with 6 slots full of same colour. Data: drilled over 3100 blocks with 6 same-colored foci per setup.

Isn't there a power consumption difference with altitude? http://imgur.com/a/K8mCQ

You can also hook up a sewer to a block placer / block breaker (or transition plane) for sapphire / ruby / peridot / qcraft / coal / silicon ore blocks from laser drill and get more mob essence:

Try searching the tracker for 'blacklist'. If you don't use dimensional doors delete its directory from your world. Backups needed. And next time use the tracker for this kind of stuff.

I've managed to copy Nonsecs alludel setup and have been happily using it until yesterday. My singleplayer started lagging very much, had block lag and noticed mobs started to walk with pauses. My modular powersuit magnet stopped to pull items. It was a nightmare. I've managed to find the info about the opis mod and added it to my tekkit install. I've scanned my world for tileentity lag and noticed that the alludel + ME interface setup generating minium stone was the best lag generator in my world. The delay it generated was worse than 800 hellfish in the nether quarry that was generated in the same time. When I broke this setup my world got a kick and started to work normally. No more 'can't keep up' messages. Mobs could chase me again . The quarries started to work normally without delay and slowish behaviour. I can suggest this mod (opis + mobius core) to anyone having lag problems to determine the specific blocks / entities causing lag in your world and then you can delete it to continue your adventures.

You've gave him work for another couple of hours...

What the heck... I was following some deep dark tutorial and found: A smooth bedrock ceiling at Y=256, solid stone with ores between Y=255 and Y=138 And it's all wrong. There are plenty of ores besides the yellowrite ore ofc, that tutorial gave me a heart attack. Ore distribution in my -100 dimension is correct between levels 0 - 70. Plenty of stuff. The main cave was my first goal I see some bedrock in the first layer. I did not expect bedrock here... Thought it was void all the way under the lower stone level. Thanks, jakalth. FTB wiki sites are evil.

This isn't a discussion what's the best modpack because there's no definition of 'best' modpack. Everyone has his own best modpack. Everyone likes different things. Your post about different types of FTB and technic is basically right but I guess there's not a lot of people who played all the modpacks you mention and can give you all the differences. Sometime the difference is just a couple of items and recipes. And there's always an option to try a custom modpack but that's problematic. FTB magic world is outdated, maybe you meant magic world 2. If your coming from the vanilla MC endgame world then technic is your best option.

Main difference: mods and their count. Tekkit mods: http://wiki.technicpack.net/Tekkit Direwolf20 mods: https://feedthebeast.atlassian.net/wiki/display/PML/Direwolf20 Edit: FTB is over my head. I wanted to make small steps and not big leaps into deep water so I chose tekkit over FTB. If you are going to use the FTB launcher you'll need to take a look at the minecraft version that FTB is based on since most popular FTB modpacks are based on older MC version.

I've managed to craft a Deep Dark portal. Went there. Started looting House of Darkness and generally got comfortable. I've been reading about mining the dimension but there's no ores there. Is ore generation disabled there? I've managed to find out about yellorite ore being disabled there (big reactors config file) but where's the rest of ores? And what about vanilla ore? Is this a default setting for tekkit 1.2.9e? Edit: I'm gonna go for the tracker with this as soon as someone will verify this phenomena with his own deep dark dimension.

His mod spotlights were the begining for me. I've got TE, MFR and AE started in one day.

Sorry but I had to do It when I saw this. Have you heard of cinnabar? It gives you 100% ferrous chance. Back on the topic now: For the start game you can pulverize all you want and experiment. You will need different dusts and pulverized stuff. Remeber that you can always put the pulverized stuff in the redstone furnace to turn it to ingot and pulverize it again if you change your mind. Thrust NEI for recipes. You need to open a browser and type in 'Thermal Expansion spotlight' on youtube. You'll be back in 10 minutes and have your mind blown.

I'm shocked. I've never had an issue with quarries. I've always used vanilla chest as a buffer and impulse itemducts to a row of DSUs and gold (didn't afford diamond) chests. P.S. Don't use chest on the itemduct corner.

Interesting. Two way trip under the bedrock..... Lets all stay on topic. Motivation. When I searched the items and machines from tekkit I always landed on some FTB site. From there found out about direwolf20 and his adventures. This was a milestone for me. Started tekkit and been playing ever since. Watched a ton of direwolf20 videos. Now my first tekkit world is so changed by all those machines, the terrain is without any ores. Those times when I logged to my little island with all those trees and animals are gone for good but a nostalgic image will remain forever. Maybe I'll plant my forest from the start. Without any harvesters..... Just gotta get some enchanted table, redstone and a safari net with a pig and gonna go plant the damn forest... or create another grinder... Well I don't know what I'm gonna do next.
