  1. I probably shouldn't be bumping a month old thread, but considering the rest of the board seems to be endless shitty spam bots, I don't really think I'm harming anyone.

    I'm not dead either.  I kind of was done with minecraft for a long time, feel ready to come back to it. Probably going to look into modding a bit more since I have more programming experience now.

  2. Liking it so far, I have a few minor questions and concerns:

     

    Each pack now has a little tag that says "Solder enabled" if it uses solder, does this mean that solder is going to recieve an update soon or is it just a new interface change?

     

    Everything feels really unresponsive.  On the V2 launcher, clicking things would instantly or close to instantly.  On this launcher, there can be a 1-5 second delay clicking anything.  It makes the whole thing feel very clunky.

  3.      Hello everyone, I'm here to both share an idea and ask a few questions. To start this off, I'll begin with a little trick I learned from a friend. This particular friend taught me that, when you take water form a brewing kettle(growthcraft), you earn XP. In fact, you actually earn more XP with one water bottle than you do by killing mobs. Anyhow, I tried it out, and, although you do earn XP fast, it's really wastefull and slow to repeat, as once your inventory fills up, you have a bunch of useless water bottles everywhere, and the only way to use them again is to drink them. Therefore, I have tried to make an efficient system that both a: makes it's own bottles, and b: deletes them and repeats, all on it's own. Now, I've already created an automatic bottle system, and the bottles run into autonomous activators(Thermal Expansion), pointed towards the brewing kettles. This however, is not very efficient in my eyes, as it only gives me approximately 30 levels in 75 seconds, when another friend can get 42 in 12 o.O. That being said, Is there a way to somehow make the autonomous activaters use the bottles faster, or a setup that doesn't take up much space, but has more autonomous activaters? Thanks, and have a good one.

    There is far better of ways to get XP quickly.  Check out Minefactory.

  4. A good trick is to take some mythos names, for example, greek deities, and see if you can make them names for ores.  For example:

     

    Hephatite (photetic) - named for greek god of fire, metalworking, and crafts

     

    Kreiorite (cray-o-rite) - modified version of Kreios, greek name for Crius, one of the 12 titans.

  5. Certainly going to be posting my epic construction once I am done with it.

     

    For those that want an idea of what it is going to be like: '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

     

    Making sort of a replica but not really, going to have the same room layout and such, but going to be having totally different machine designs and stuff like that.  I love the way it looks, and I am not creative, but I like making machine setups myself.

    Also doing it all "legit."  The reason why that is in quotes is because I spawned the marble for the white tower thing.  It is a pretty much pointless building and fuck getting that much marble.

    Going to be making a few modifications too, probably going to be adding a runway.  This gets kind of weird in terms of the thread, but I am not running stock tekkit, running a really heavily modified tekkit that includes a lot of mods some friends and I like.  We have been playing for a while now, and I am the only one who is going for an aesthetic build because it takes so much damn resources and is kind of pointless

    I would post the pack, but I manage it using a solder install hosted off of my home network.  It slows down my network massively when someone downloads it, so I don't want just anyone to download it.

  6. First of all, thanks for doing some basic troubleshooting beforehand.  You would be surprised at how many people experience minor issues and then immediately run to the tracker with a level 5 problem of "halp i get lag plz fix"

     

    Whenever I try to generate a new, or load an old singleplayer world, it gets stuck at "Building Terrain", I have left it run for a half hour, and it never manages to load the world.
     

    Have you tried watching the console (openable by click the gear in the top left of the launcher, and clicking "show console") output during this?  The progress bar is no longer visible, which was pretty much due to lazyness, but the console still outputs world generation percentages.

     

     

     

    -allocating more RAM (5GB)
     

     

    5 GB is waaaaaaaaay too much.  This may be the source of the problem.  2 GB is pretty much the max you should ever need, java is bad with large allocation and will actually run worse if you assign anymore than 2.

     

    Try using something like http://www.pastebin.com rather than mediafire.  It tends to be better for log files.

  7. Wow! Religious debates without pointless bickering! Let me insert my two cents!

    I don't think our minds can really grasp the magnitude of universe to refute or affirm your statement. But why does a Creator necessarily have to be the creation of something greater? The universe (let alone complex life) as we see it exhibits an order and consistency that's difficult to explain without adding intelligence to the mix. It's on the same line as, but at a much higher level than, postulating that the Infinite Monkey Theorem holds true. The probability of non-life developing into life is literally so low that it would never happen before the proton decay of the universe completed.

    It's a matter of what you believe.

    The basis of everything requires belief in something so absurdly difficult to prove that it is essentially impossible to be prove.

    You can never prove there is a god, at least as long as one doesn't present itself.

    You can never prove the full theory of evolution, you weren't there.

    You can never prove we goddamn exist.

    This is why religious debates are pointless. Everything requires faith. Even things that are considered science.

  8. I've heard building in Mini ITX cases, particularly the bitfenix prodigy can be tricky for a beginner? Is this true? http://pcpartpicker.com/b/LzH

    Not necessarily harder, just a bit more irritating. In a cramped space it can be a bit difficult to work with cable management and other things like that. I would reccomend going for a fully modular power supply, as shown here: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2Ibbi

    RAM was also tweaked, as corsair vengeance stuff is a little bit overpriced.

  9. 1) Why no K?

    Because it isn't an overclock ready motherboard.

    2) Why such a large SSD?

    SSD is taking the place of a 1TB 7200 RPM hard drive.

    3) Why W7?

    Because I don't like windows 8. It was more just included to show the difference in price.

    4) Why such an overkill PSU? (you have around double the recommended wattage for that setup)

    That's an artifact of the previous 780 ti build. Link now updated: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2HId0

    also fixed in previous post.

  10. Ew, conventional hard drive. I don't need much storage, so I think just 2 256 GB Samsung Evo 840 SSD's, and also I want 16 GB of RAM, and mini ITX, I don't need SLI. And I'm not a good builder, never built a PC and don't want to risk $2500 on something I might break trying to build.

    http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2HId0

    There.

    Cheaper than before too, without the bigger case and second 780 Ti.

    Building is extremely easy. You would have to be trying to break things as long as you are careful.
