cockatrice is a good solution to magic online, now note it a mix of semi competitive to extremely competitive(me). as to the elves vs goblins it has a few cards that see legacy play in it so it doesn't surprise me its $200. on a related note if anyone likes magic and wishes to learn or play the lega...

here's an interesting point about order vs chaos: chaos is the presence of entropy the greater the amount of entropy, the more chaotic things are the point of greatest entropy is where anything can be present at any moment to reach that point, everything must be totally uniform total uniformity mea...

so l have been working on this off and on sense http://www.sargunster.com/btwforum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4899 a while back. i have gotten to base 14 and i have no clue how to progress. this thing is a monster and eats my time really bad so rather then obsesses on trying to find 15th and 16th like ...

i fall somewhere in the middle, creative is only there when i go to the ridiculous(aka BD-x), i actively avoid creative but when i dont really care for the final product just the process i do it in creative.

Perhaps schematics for components rather than complete automated systems? Teach a person to fish and all that... I might agree with this idea. Back when I was learning circuitry I used to use the redstone logic and piston logic pages on the VMC wiki quite often and I can say that there's a least so...

As i am not i moderator i cant ban you but i will tell you now you should delete this before you have a nice vacation.

I vaguely remember my geology teacher saying something about copper having some Indian name that translated to "red rock". Copper makes wires, which transfers electrical current quite well, which powers rails/doors/pistons/whatever. As far as not having impedance, etc etc, you can only po...

-Added the Mould as a new form of pottery. The Mould is an item that is ignored when crafting. It may be used to turn the Anvil into a crafting grid with a custom shape and size, to aid in general mass-crafting. -Change the Anvil so that you can leave Moulds in it between uses, to preserve custom c...

so i was thinking about how things like the lapis/gold detector might work, and the closest real world thing i can think of is that its vary close to the photovoltaic effect, and while redstone is not electricity this is the best i can think of, anyone else have any ideas?

why? aesthetic changes are not normally looked on favorably.

Yeah, redstone is like ripping the electricity out of digital electronics and just having some kind of pure logical binary manifestation. It's one of the reasons I favor separating what I view as signal, in redstone, from actual energy in terms of being able to do work (mech power). Granted, there ...

Redstone =/= magic... Electricity more like... i can easily say that redstone is not in anyway electricity, years of over education into as a physics grad student i could point out the lack of field effects, impedance,resistance, capacitance, inductance, voltage, current... and so on in fact the on...

Perhaps you could create a visual representation? I'm really bad at these or I would have as i think it would be much more clear. Anyone will to make a graphic is welcome to. And yes i do agree this is a strange and potently useful way of looking at Steve progression which is why i did it i hope so...

the talk on biotech makes me want to classify all technological that Steve has with btw and see were this might be leading. so far i have: -redstone(magic?) --vMC block dispenser --pistons --hibatch (fire from magic and alchemy) see fire for more --light block/redstone lamp (light from magic) -- lap...

i will do that when a get a chance, in fact i was before the sticky piston idea came into my head hence the brown wool all over the place. when i get a semi final product i will clean it up as much as i can and post it, anyone that understands this is welcome to rework anything i have done to this p...

i now know how to get to 12 maybe more... platforms and what move with them will get us a few more but will lose us the repeater it will get 3 new detections with the space it frees minimum. We get rails, slabs and non positionable block entientys so a net up of 2

my suggestion to get better will redstone is to play with it, do something absurd.
learn a few gates had how to use them, and , or and RS nor and the simplest which have much use.

Edit: oh and welcome... sorry im really bad a reading everything...

I broke 10 :) http://img860.imageshack.us/img860/13/20120721215751.png stickly pistons are magic but need the AB BA as input now (A is BD,B is Stickly pistons) http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/6352/20120721215732.png side view http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/9514/20120721215725.png top view thi...

While falling asleep last night I thought of another property we're not using yet, non-conducting blocks that let light through vs ones that don't. Could be used with a second light level detector. the problem here is I'm running out of space in which we can test characteristics related to blocks l...

8 unique ouputs with isolated signal... and yeah have no clue how to get the 9th isolated

i think im going try again in a much more elegant solution to this whole thing, but that will have to wait.

Holly shit, I know how to go even higher ! We could get up to 3 times more different output, just by using a turntable bellow the BD ! Now that's gonna be a challenge to output so many signal in such a small area :D the problem i see with its is rather then the BD and object holding the info the tu...

I'm thinking one of the simplest uses might be for a piston elevator/conveyor that triggers pistons in a specific order. with base 6 we get all cardinal directions so that is all we really need for a crazy Omni-directional elevator Going off of FlowerChilds piston idea would be to hook up detector ...

if we are talking asthtic block use then:
in this order
wood: looks nice and common
dirt: common and landscaping is fun
stonebricks: see wood
in general then:
in order
redstone
