Merry Christmas from the Filbin Files

I have just posted my Christmas special...a twinkling Christmas Tree built in the Direwolf20 modpack.



Also, I'd like to share the ComputerCraft code used in the build:

i = 0
while i < 900 do
rand = math.random(1,4)
if rand==1 then
redstone.setOutput("left", true)
end
if rand==2 then
redstone.setOutput("back", true)
end
if rand==3 then
redstone.setOutput("right", true)
end
if rand==4 then
redstone.setOutput("top", true)
end
print(rand)
i = i + 1
sleep(1)
redstone.setOutput("left", false)
redstone.setOutput("back", false)
redstone.setOutput("right", false)
redstone.setOutput("top", false)
end

Thaumcraft research notes in Direwolf 20

Episode #8 of the Direwolf20 series is going to be out shortly. In the end of it, I briefly discuss how I intend to work on the Thaumcraft Research Notes without recording it, mostly because I don't think anyone wants to see 50 episodes of me going "I wonder if this will work...nope...hrm.."

So, here is the start of my solutions to the research notes. These are my solutions, there are many like them (maybe even more efficient) but these are mine...

Alumentum
 Bone Bow
 Copper Wand Caps
 Gold Wand Caps
 Greatwood Wand Core
 Magical Metallurgy
 Magic Tallow
 Nitor
 Research Expertise
 Transvector Interface
 Wand Foci


More to come, stay tuned to this blog!

More Direwolf20 modpac stuff

I have been a bit remiss in updating the blog with my Minecraft activities, it's hard enough to get this updated, record videos, do my job and still have family time. So let's do this...

Episode #5 shows my work on a Tree Farm using Steve's Carts 2. Probably not the most efficient system, but it works, and I think it looks kinda cool.

Next, Episode #6 shows off some work on Storage using Steve's Factory Manager. I like the system as the process flows just make sense to me. I know I could just work towards an AE systems, but SFM seems easier to set up in the early game, and it makes me think a bit about what I want to do, and using your brain is a good thing.

Finally, in Episode #7, I compare the mining abilities of the Buildcraft mining well, Buildcraft quarry and the Computercraft mining turtle.

For some reason, Blogger can't find the video, so I'll just throw the link down here:

Let me know what you think.
