HeavyMetalSunshineSister Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 The interesting thing about Endermen is how easy it is to keep one distracted. Snow Golems are the perfect tool for irritating an Enderman - they keep the poor sods on their toes, and they never actually hit their mark, so the Endermen don't actually turn around and kill the Golems.

Blessed Blade Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Well, I must've been lucky, then, because it never noticed me, and we both just kept on our ways. xDThat said, everything was going perfectly, until I attempted to cut off a source of lava. Note to everyone, if you're trying to do that, make sure you're sneaking, otherwise you might instead attempt to swim in lava. ; Quote The Pokemon TopicPokemon: Rise of the Rockets - Rise of the Rockets Discussion Topic - Rise of the Rockets Side Stories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyMetalSunshineSister Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Yeah, if you don't look directly at an Enderman, it won't attack. Still, Ender Pearls are useful - moreso in Technic, of course - and Endermen make bad neighbors.

Flipz Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I'd suggest just building a giant pumpkin farm, to be honest. One sufficiently large enough can net you a constant supply of pumpkins. I can make well over a stack when my farm is full, and they've usually started growing again by the time I'm finished harvesting them all.Alternatively, you can shove them all into your transmutation tablet and turn them into items worth less EMC (a stack of pumpkins is just a little over enough EMC for a diamond), so you could probably mass produce something like leather.Nono, I mean, I HAVE millions upon millions of EMC, and I need stacks of stuff to turn into Vis. I don't want to make 50 trips back and forth dumping stacks of cobblestone into the crucible for miniscule amounts of vis, I want a stack of stuff I can dump in once and have enough Vis for an in-game week of infusing/enchanting. ;)Also, am I the only person who wishes Endermen could be tamed?

HeavyMetalSunshineSister Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Nitor is a pretty good thing for tossing into Crucibles.

Flipz Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I have two Mark III 17.5 arrays: one above my starter house (which is due for an upgrade once I've worked out some more stuff) and one imbedded in the ceiling of my occultic enchanting room (which reminds me, I haven't harvested that one in like...forever. I probably have a Klein Star Omega's worth of Dark Matter blocks in it by now ).Speaking of my occultic enchanter...it's awesome. It really is.

HeavyMetalSunshineSister Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Hmm... Maybe I should make an array that's actually optimized for directing energy into the Condenser, rather than one that's primarily a charging array.

Artezza Magnus Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I took a leaf out of Alex's book and created several small arrays for the purpose of charging Klein Stars. That Alchemy Tower I built awhile back? Filled it with seven small arrays after I learned about buildcraft pipes, and each one produces and diamonds, which flow into a single charging array at the bottom. Its kinda mesmerizing watching them flow downward... Quote Even when trapped by Karma's cycle, the dreams we left behind will open the door!

Flipz Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) OK, I think I completely misunderstand how advanced vis filters work. Do they, or do they not, work when put in a line? Do they, or do they not, act as normal vis pipes for regular vis, provided there is a device causing suction at the other end of the line?EDIT: More Importantly... I have a tank full of Taunt. HOW THE HECK DO I EMPTY IT USING ADVANCED VIS FILTERS?! AND WHY IS IT DRAWING TAINT AT 10 TCB?!?!

Alex Humva Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I suggest getting several Totems of the Dawn ready and evacuating the area.

HeavyMetalSunshineSister Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) Calm down, mate. Tanks always have a sort of suction to them.I've never bothered with filters, so I can't answer your questions there. The best option, I find, for taking taint out of a system is as follows.S=Crucible/SourceC=ConduitP=Purifier[Loads of things branching from three sides that aren't relevant]=S=PCPPCP=P=Five purifiers occupying their own branch, so they don't gum up the works for everything else, and three branches left free for actual work. For your situation, connect the purifiers to the conduit leading to and from the tank, so you can contain the problem.EDIT: Totems of Dawn won't save this thing, Alex. They don't alter atmospheric taint at all. What needs to be done is a simple drawing-off of the contents of the tank, and a stern remonstration that tanks shouldn't be filled and left to sit, especially when taint is 100% of what's in them.

Flipz Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Actually, my Totems of Dawn seem to be hugely increasing my Vis levels and decreasing my atmospheric Taint levels, but the Silverwood trees I built don't seem to be doing a thing. :wacko:The issue with the tank seems to be that the tank itself seems to have 10 TCB, while the purifiers have only 5 TCB. I'm not sure if that is intended, or if the moderator designer just didn't think things through, but I took my arcane pump and hooked it up to a purifier, and things seem to be slowly getting better now. But GOSH that issue was frustrating--no matter how many purifiers I hooked up to the thing, it just wouldn't drain!

Alex Humva Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Don't purifiers need vis to operate?

HeavyMetalSunshineSister Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 No, purifiers just draw in Taint and destroy it. They don't even have any suction on Vis.

Artezza Magnus Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Ymper is right, purifiers are the perfect way of destroying taint. Filters are somewhat worthless if you're concerned about the atmospheric taint level.For some reason Rubys, Saphires and Emeralds have suddenly decided to no longer have item sprites for me and have become pink squares. After flicking through NEI, many other redpower related items seem to have the same issue, though not all of them.

HeavyMetalSunshineSister Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I don't know if Thaumcraft is included in Tekkit. I don't think it is at present, but once Technic/Tekkit updates to 1.3 Minecraft, one of two things will happen. Either all non-multiplayer mods will just cease to be things that exist, or they'll be updated, and with only one game code between SP and MP, that would mean they'd be in both Technic and Tekkit.

Unit#phntk#1 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) Thaumcraft is most definitely not included in Tekkit.Also, Ddude's server has been up for a week or two, but he hasn't started inviting BZP members to it yet as far as I know.

Alex Humva Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 So I've been thinking about inter-server travel via Nether portals, or some sort of portal made some other way, and realized that one could conceivably, assuming some sort of 'Better Portals' mo-d was in place, create a full scale Stargate system or somesuch.Am I the only one who gets a tad bit excited at the idea of having a system of RedPower/ComputerCraft powered pistons, machines, etc, to be used to make a replica Stargate that actually works?It'd be icing on the cake if you could use ComputerCraft to dial in the address.
