its recommended, usually if its a smaller quarry you need only to put 1 water block, its will spread as the quarry goes deeper and it won't form more water blocks so its easy to clear.
also when is the server updating to latest version, I'm sure now at least you guys feel confident of updating.

just change the version of the mindcrack mod pack to 8.0.1 in the top right of the Feed The Beast Launcher. I accidently updated, was able to downgrade just fine and connect within minutes.
question for aix/revo:
can either of you confirm whether luminators work on the server? Every time i place them, they float well above the ground, refuse to attach to anything, and then disappear when another block is placed next to them of any kind(luminators)
|
So I had to reinstall stuff and now there's no option for Mindcrack 8.0.1 on my launcher. What should I do? I am incompetent when it comes to setting up mods and whatnot, so dumb it down for me as much as possible 
Edit: Figured it out, disregard this message

Working with frames, trying to make a cool quarry.
Got a 4 directional, 8x11 mining heads quarry atm.
fully extended its 12x12x11, while mining/moving its 8x12x11. (sides move in 2, so they fit behind the block breakers)
It's about 880 blocks atm, so theres room for another layer (making it 960 out of 1000 cap).
It has an enderchest power supply system built in.
Stuck at water/lava from above destroying my redstone atm, not sure how to fix that.
I think it's only the redstone thats in danger of getting destroyed, though maybe lava+water will make cobble, stopping my machine too.

Ended up adding 1 more layer, with a 2x4 roof per side, so that whenever it is moving/mining, the roof is completely sealed off.
Only risk for lava ánd water coming in and creating cobble, is when you change mining direction. Will probably never encounter this.
Now the hard part: building it on the server... 
edit: and coding the computercraft program =/

aww, i thought this was on the server. I will marvel when it is completed.

is there any way someone can look into fixing serejai's exp farm? I lag until my game freezes when I linkbook into there. There must be a newly placed chunk loader keeping things from despawning or something, becuase i used to book out/book in to reset the place, but now, i enter and there are 5000000000000 mobs stuck in that cage, and 999999999999999999 exp orbs floating around, blocking my view, my game goes to 0.25 frames per second and it takes me 3-4 minutes just to find the way out again(becuase I can only get feedback once every 4 seconds)
edit: Fixed. added a switch instead of pressure plate so you can control the spawns a little better(ie, need to collect exp orbs without spawning more mobs)

a few questions: is it r.evo who's paying for the server? how long do we plan to keep this world going? how much does it cost per month and do you accept donations(i know I'm on all the time lately and would gladly contribute a little towards the cost of keeping this going)? will the world map be available to download afterwards to continue it in single player?
i'm having a blast playing and learning all these mods(this is my first experience with non-vanilla), just wanted to say thank you for making this happen.

excellent, hope this happens soon.

I think Traincraft has the cheapest engines (Hobbyist's Steam Engine) which are quite useful, because afaik they're the best way to start out in FTB together with TE.
EE3 was nerfed or not? Not sure if I'd like it on, things are crazy enough right now.

steam engines are railcraft.
EE3 is not nerfed unless you compare it to EE2.

We have Aixler with his magicial tower of everything already and it is pretty crazy enough... but yeah, I don't need to use it of course, but I am just expressing doubt if this is balanced enough for us to have fun.

I don't know how you guys feel about those additional mods, but if it requires a world restart, I'd rather just keep with what we have now. there's still more content than there are hours in the day to explore.

Yeah, a restart would probably hurt me and Dexos the least, but I hope a restart won't be necessary.

Might leave out flat bedrock, as its a bit silly anyway. Nether Ores only in new chunks, unless they have some cool terrain generation feature. None of the other mods affect world gen.
We might have some problems with item id's, but the idea behind ftb is that it is all streamlined between the different packs.
So we'll have to check how mo creatures and our mystcraft id's hold up.

I only ever played vanilla minecraft (with the occassional worldedit thrown in) because I love building complex redstone machinery with the given limitations.
I knew there were quite complex mods out there, but I never really bothered to look for them, until I stumbled upon this thread.
I chose to give it a try for singleplayer and our server, but clearly, coming from vanilla and enabling all those addons is completely overwhelming because it adds simply too much new stuff at once to wrap your mind around it.
So I'd like to ask you guys if you could provide some pointers which addons are of primary importance (I'd call them the building blocks for the others) and which are less important because they, for example, only have very advanced features (I think computercraft falls into that category, but I'm still looking through all the mods descriptions and wikis to get started).
Any mods that have a need to edit the config they came with?
For now, I've mined/collected/farmed a ton of new items which I just have to store away because I'm missing a direction to follow due to too many possibilities through the addons. The inventory/recipe searcher mod helps a lot with finding out what the new stuff I find is actually used for, but that still does not give a direction I could head in.

i recommend starting with the buildcraft mod stuff, since it gives you a lot of automation of normal minecraft functions

Start out with thermal expansion, industrialcraft and buildcraft, check their respective wiki's to see which machines they have, and then either build them and figure it out yourself or watch some videos on youtube.
