I like to make pits of quicksand to suffocate mobs. I have powered obsidian pipes along the crawlspace under the quicksand to pipe goodies into chests. On my latest map I spawned near a Millénaire village in the middle of a swamp and the area is freaking infested by giant slimes. And I can't use passive mob killing tricks since they'd kill villagers as well. (at least with vanilla villages you can force breed villagers until you have a few golems patrolling the area) I've read about transplanting captured vanilla villagers and placing them in player made npc housing, then breeding them until you have enough population for a golem. Then your area will be patrolled by golems and you get a lot of villagers to trade with. Or just setup you base under an existing village...

Why just fill a pond. You could pump out the lava from a volcano, then fill it with water.

I put Power Converters in my tekkit. I just make sure my brother and nephews have it also.

TC3 and Xycraft aren't allowed in other modpacks yet, but for myself I had no problem adding TC3, Xycraft, and ~dozen other mods. Just make sure the player's tekkit matches the server's tekkit. (but for most techtards it's probably easier to just stick with what the base pack gives you...)

That's why many people pulverize their ores. I have three coppers and three tin ores, but the pulverizer accepts them all and outputs a single type of copper/tin/whatever dust. Then once it's smelted I only have a single copper/tin/whatever ingot for each metal.

The Voxelmodpack's alive and well on the FTB launcher. If they want to jump launchers it's fine, let the FTB forums deal with supporting user problems.

I just add in sphax textures for the different mods as they come out. Many of the mods have had new things added to them for 1.4.x and the texture work for them is currently incomplete. So I just keep an eye on the sphax forums and update texture modules as they are revised.

with ~200 people watching the black screen.

Just watch any of Slow's drunkstreams to see why that will never happen...

The other day I was checking for updates on the sphax forums and noticed a new sub-forum just for mod-pack sphax compilations. It would seem to be the place to go for pre packaged compilations.

Plus the Yogscast has their own large forum. It's better to keep all things Yogs related together within the existing forums.

Do you have the MiscPeripherals mod installed? With it you can install chunkloaders into your turtles so they continue working while you're not around.

Don't forget the $30k for micro$oft's xbox certification process... :doh:

I've used millenaire fine in 1.2.5 and 1.4.5 without any problems. The people that have problems with it probably have lower end systems that can't take the extra work the towns put on your system. I like villagers trading(in 1.3+) in the earlier part of a playthrough, I can get some good supplies once I have sugarcane/wheat production going (I've found traders selling diamond tools and armor in some places). And mods like thaumcraft3 and forestry add their own village traders to village spawn, so you can get into those mods techtrees earlier as well.

Turtles and transposers are how they do it here... The linked thread includes the code for the turtles...

I have tanks of milk, so it is possible. But it may be due to forestry for use with biogas engines. (although railcraft tank carts don't have any problem transporting milk around)

On tonight's stream Mattabase was playing with the new frames that have redstone tubing built into them. He was making very compact frame quarries. Having the tube, redstone signal, and frame all in a single block looked very nice.

Does anyone know if there will be RP pumps to go with the waterproof tubes? Or will they just accept liquids from IC/buildcraft pumps? I've been playing 1.4.2 for a while now and am really looking forward to the return of marble and basalt...

Just now on Mattabase's stream he was playing with the new Inverted redstone lamps. They're on by default and turn off with a redstone signal.

Nope, wrong again... The new RP will have high/mid/low voltage bluetricity, blocks to convert between the three, wires for all three voltages, as well as new generators and the new bluetricity->buildcraft engine. And the new sorting and RP computer/frame blocks.

It's called 'manual build selection'. For someone that likes to toss shit at others on the forum, you don't seem to keep up with the latest developments...

I've been playing with the latest technic for 1.4.2 and within the nearest village to my spawn point I found a villager trading one emerald for three glowstone blocks... And near him was a villager trading 15 wheat for one emerald.

I've been in many betas where the game is watermarked with a "Beta Copy" or similiar tag somewhere on screen. This could be a variant of a beta tag...

Yep, there are MANY ways to convert EMC to EU. I like condensing lava cells to power an array of geogens. It's also very cheap to condense wheat for biogas production, to cover cheap buildcraft power as well.

Even when plasticraft was in technic I never bothered with any of the plastic stuff.
