To BTW or not to BTW, that is the question...

What kind of choice is that? That's like having to choose between having sex and causing the apocalypse.

That's a bad comparison. Both of those could be awesome in their own unique ways, and both could also be horrible. Between BTW and no BTW, the awesome/horrible delineations are rather clear.

...Touche.
But I still don't buy the idea of the apocalypse being awesome, unless you're into the eternal salvation stuff.

You don't think it would be fun to watch everyone else writhe in the eternal flames?

It's all fun and games until the ghasts come to eat you too.

Then it's a just a new, funner game.

I have a challenge for you guys. Create a farm of the unfarmable. Using all of the tools and torturous devices FC has so kindly given to us, create an effective ghast farm. I dare you. Who ever can present the most efficient farm is the winner.

Is Better than Buildcraft allowed?
If it isn't than can I start a separate league?

And does it have to be 100% legit?

Let's play: Get tortured and eaten alive! Rated E10!

I actually have a plan for that. I've been waiting to build it because I didn't have any motivation. May the games begin.

As to apocalypse, the fiery end of our world as the sun engulfs it would be an awesome thing to witness..........from a safe distance of course, lol. As for choosing between BTW and other mods, it's really not an issue, with tools like MCPatcher and MultiMC, you can have any number of jars, with any combination of mods you want. As an added bonus, you can just change which profile your using while you wait for various mods to update with each new version of MC.

Or you could just have 30 .jars in a folder that you rename to 'minecraft.jar' when you want to use that mod.

Better than buildcraft is permitted. What do you mean by separate league? And if by legit do you mean whether you can use creative mode or not, then creative is only allowed for proof of concept.

Aww, crud. There's no way I can build this thing in Survival. I just don't have the resources.

I was just saying that seeing as BTB allows for more powerful interactions that BTW, the two sets of ghast farms might be separated for fairness.

I was asking about legit, because unfortunately, the great curse of forgetting-to-backup destroyed a prospering steel age world. I haven't quite advanced to ghast-farm automation again yet.

If this is a test of design, then I'm all good.

Since Battosay has limited internet access right now, I feel I should post his entry (from six months ago):


Granted, the automation possibilities were a lot more limited back then, so I'm sure you guys will be able to come up with something that requires less player intervention

Well, I do say battosay is in the lead with this bit of material! But you are right, if anyone can get more automation involved, they will quickly surpass battosay. However, one major problem I see is I don't think it is possible to automatically reclaim spent arrows, so that will definitely throw a kink in some plans.

And as for creative, I do believe proof of concept should be more than enough for this challenge. However, bonus points for anyone to succeed in making it in survival.


Well, on a different note. I feel like my progress in my survival world is rather stunted by my lack of resources. It is such a pain to manually harvest resources. And that means I need to find a way to automate it. However, I need resources to make the automation. Sigh, what a predicament I have found myself in. I foresee an extensive mining adventure in the near future. Need more gold and redstone.

On the bright side of things, I did manage to get a small automated reed and hemp farm up and running. Although, I think I used waaaaay too much redstone on my reed farm. Me and my nooby self decided to use redstone repeaters to act as a delay for my detector block so that the water would stay out long enough to collect all of the reeds. I should probably invest some time in studying battosay's biological clock. However, with my hemp farm, I felt rather intelligent after watching battosay's auto hemp farm and finding out that I came up with the same idea he did for the collection of my hemp.

Yeah, it is

The Hopper can collect fired arrows that drop on it.

when you say incompatible with EVERYTHING do you really mean everything? would basic things like single player commands or REI's mini map work?

When you come to a thread that has over 1200 pages and have a very simple question, do you actually take five seconds to see if that question has been asked before? Like this one has on just about every single page for at least the last 50 or so? If you can't take the time to look it up, I don't have the time to answer you.

I know this question has probably been asked before, but I have little time to look it up. Is there a way to get the modern parts of the mod without the rest, such as light blocks, lens, cement, etc?
