I suppose that would solve the immediate problem right out but it still leaves me with the necessity of going to each individual BD to remove that stone. I guess the final product I'd be hoping for was one where I could grab the stone out of a single chest or chests. Also, how would you control whi...

Don't try to figure out the programming. It's obvious you never looked at the water code, as it is very different from what you seem to think. What I suggest is a block that always makes the height of any water on top 1 unit higher. That simple trick would allow you to flow water infinitely, in aqu...

The only difficult part was balancing the final trap piece so that it didn't fall down right away. Otherwise there's slots to tell you where to put all the darn things, so I don't see how anyone would have had problems setting it up.

I honestly figured it'd just be easier ( I don't want to talk about coding) to have it be a source block, as I don't know how (if) you'd place a partial water block and have it keep flowing. *Edit* I hadn't thought about this before, but it being a source block would be bad, because you could just r...

Ohhhh, I'm kinda sad that he's going to revert water back again. Oh well, back to being careful where I take water from in oceans....

Is most of automation really worth all the work? Not really, but it's awesome.

Also, according to a few posts, mobs tend to stand still a lot more, so the output of mob grinders drastically decreased in pre-release 5. Just something I thought I'd share.

You guys have given me an idea for a new project.

"Wolf fighting arena"

Place your bets now!

Yep, check it.

I believe it's because he changed the liquid mechanics again.

If we had a way to generate sand the way we do cobble, it would help. You can, if you lift and drop sand really quickly with sticky pistons you get a bunch of sand items. Bug abuse :S to me it's kinda the same as the lava + redstone = obsidian bug. Legitimate would be far superior. Well, seeing as ...

My take on this would be a pump that doesn't extend water infinitely upwards. I'm thinking more of, not really a pump, but a "water extender" device. This device would need to be mechanically powered (from the side or bottom), and would act like a sort of "water bellows", hell, m...

This would probably be really useful if you want timed water spurts, since you don't have to have a timer connected to another memory cell to block water, or allow water to flow, for certain time periods. But I'm not sure it's justified, since really the whole reason FC added all the colored wool ha...

Maybe dropped blocks just disappear more quickly now. :o

Steve can no longer punch logs and break them with his fists. -Evil Grin-

I think that would be a fundamental change.

No, but seriously I'm excited because of how excited FC seems to be about this exciting new feature. Excitement!

I think it would be interesting to be able to place ladders on the bottom of blocks, and use them jungle-gym style to traverse gaps in caves or mountain underhangs. It is what I thought of first, but I would have added the function to the vMC ladders to begin with. Why not just place your ladders, ...

That's not at all what he was getting at. The OP wants easier ways to travel, not to navigate.

Seems like he wants easier:

-Vertical movement (we already have elevators for that)
-Quicker horizontal movement
-Tools to help you ascend and descend unexplored cliffs/caves

Now that our buddy has his pet, it's time to get that walking poo-machine to work!

Honestly I think the best idea that I've seen was speeding up the time flow of things around it. AKA, it makes plants grow faster, or perhaps animals mature faster. The reasoning behind it being (in my mind) that the souls are somehow accelerating the growth process of the things around them. This c...

Don't be so quick to judge an idea that's recovering from a thread de-rail. Why not, say, contribute? You say the proposed block should do "One to three different things tops" - that sounds fair. Any opinion on what those things should be? how broadly do you define things? etc etc etc. No...

Not to dump on your parade, but this seems like a mod all its own, and not really something that would easily fit anywhere into BTW. I think perhaps people are taking the whole souls thing a little farther than it needs to go. Honestly I think if this block did one to three different things tops, it...

Hehe, you're wecome :) but seriously, do your homework. You can always skip some sleep ^.^[/good influence] There is one thing bugging me. There are quite a few changes upcoming for EqEx, largely the removal of agregators (in a manner of speaking) and many modifications for recipies. A major one (a...

I wanted to do the same thing with a cactus farm. Just plop an alchemy chest with a black hole band and gem of eternal density, and voila! You then have a great supply of wood from cacti.

Guys, it is the natural outcome of technological progress that some resources become more valuable while others become less so. I will agree however that Nethercoal is currently at an unfortunate part of the tech-tree as it becomes available at pretty much the precise point where it is nigh-obsolet...

So how did the aqueduct fill up with water without you using any buckets. Or am I missing something obvious about the water fix? It also looks great compared to my hole in the ground. The Utopia rules say that you're SUPPOSED to use a man made source, but then channel it. Doesn't say anything about...

To be fair even this one doesn't (I really dislike vannilla cobble texture so I pretended that whole bit doesn't exist) but it looks pretty. Kinda. http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/665/spoilerpic1.png My world looks much, much worse than yours does, trust me. Yours is all nice and organized, and ...

We have to hold on to this until tomorrow, so that FlowerChild can see this and discuss... Flower doesn't need to see any ideas. If an idea is good enough, the community will generally be aware of it, and a turtle will pass it on. Simple, and FC doesn't need to be bothered with it. Honestly, there'...
