He uses ThermalExpansion Powered Furnaces.

nah i only have like two, when those are full i just use iron furnaces. i usually use those for charcoal though, so meh.

i'll just use them to fuel my turtles.

EDIT: for the record, it wasn't a serious question, i was just pointing out how many goddamn saplings there were lol

you eat them and stuff out more saplings

[MegaScientifical]

Make a special elite force of turtles which endlessly plant the excess saplings in a continuously building grass plain which will then have a second pass by an elite force of bonemeal turtles to create a crappy jungle.

[fred da kiko]

I like FTB more than tekkit right now, mostly because of the world generation. It makes some cool worlds.

I find XtraBiomesXL to contribute largely to the feel you get playing.

[Kingdaro]

maybe it's just my stuffty world but extrabiomes has been more annoying to me than pretty

my forest islands are a bitch to navigate through without a boat, and this other biome nearby has hills that are steep as forget and a pain in the ass to scale and/or get animals through (i had to use a loving gravity gun to get a goddamn cow). not to mention how a village that spawned in said biome was forgeted up beyond belief; the lowest point is probably ~50 blocks from its highest point, the roads are a broken mess, and half of the houses are underground. on a trip to get cows, i just about drowned in quicksand because i didn't even know what it was.

jesus christ.

I got a lonely mountain on my last map, it's pretty cool. I felt like I was in Lord of the Rings. The map before that I spawned in had a cave like none I've ever seen in vanilla, it was really huge and I had a pretty cool dwarven city going on until my server screwed up and it wiped like half of all the machines and stuff I made.

Dinnerbone did some stuff with signal strength. If you don't get what's going on, someone on reddit explained it.

So, to sum this all up, what is the mechanism in the picture doing? Basically, if all of the input lamps are off, the redstone signal will travel a path of exactly 15 power-levels worth before reaching the row of output lamps at the far rights. Thus, an outcome of 0 lamps turning on. Every time you flick one of the 4 levers, a piston pushes a block that creates a shortcut for the current. This shortcut costs 0 power levels, as opposed to the previous route, which cost either 8, 4, 2, or 1 level according to each label. So if I pull the lever marked '4', the signal will only degrade by 11 power-levels before reaching the output row on the right. That leaves 4 powered sections before the signal runs out, and thus 4 output lamps are turned on. The clever bit, however, is what happens when you pull a second lever. Once again, a piston shunts a block and provides a shortcut, and once again the path is shortened by the relevant amount. And because the degradation is cumulative, so is the lack of degradation, and so the two numbers are added. If I pull the levers marked 4 and 2, the result isn't 4 or 2, it's 6.

Jeb also made a daytime sensor.
