Yeah, it's a known issue with FTB that the scarecrows cause a game crash. Thankfully a quick fix though.
Also, you wanted me to post here to identify myself and so I have as requested.

Of Fire and Lightning
After watching Bissit put out 50+ fires in the vicinity of Rake's place and another 30-40 by our residence, I mentioned to some people on Vent that we needed to have a plan to get rid of the fires. The Bissit Fire Prevention Team has only so much free time. So, we talked over a few options, and came up with a halfway decent plan: Turn on rain, and then fire spread, and let it pour let it pour let it pour. I know that there was some concern about the mis-gen'd volcanoes in trees, but after this discussion, I'm gonna rip those out. After that, why not leave fire spread on for good? We play on hard mode, so it stands to reason that fire should be a problem. The lightning fires could be controlled fairly easily with a kingdom wide lightning rod project, and they should be standard on any home that doesn't want to become a charred cinder. Just my two cents worth.

Looking at all the fires does get tiresome. Turn on fire spread and you end up with a forest of half burned trees, and that's just as ugly.
If we turned off rain we would not have lightning and we would not have all these fires. But that's been vetoed before.
On Fire
Here are my thoughts on fire.
Here are my thoughts on fire.
- Fires do not NEED to be put out...
- But then I also understand that you might not want to look at them.
- Turning on fire-spread will burn down forests (but....)
- Turning on rain will put them out (but...)
- Neither of these things will happen where people are NOT.
- Like the tree falling in the woods, it can only happen WHERE people are, and the chunks (sorta) near them.
- I MAY turn on fire-spread again. If I do, I will give people 24 hours notice, HERE, before hand so they can modify their builds if needed.
Moon was crashing a lot today. If you have this problem too, disable a few mods before launching into minecraft.
"Edit Mod Pack" > "Mods Tab" > Select "Traincraft, Xycraft, and Steve's Carts" > Disable.
You will have fewer problems this way.

Okay it seems to me a community who likes things challenging (i.e. Gregtech) should enjoy the challenge of dealing with fire spread. I agree with giving everyone the chance to modify their builds in case they built with the assumption that fire spread would always be off. But coming together to put out fires after a lightning strike or replant a forest that burned down or heaven forbid helping a neighbor who's fireplace went nuts and destroyed their lab seems right up our alley. And coming up with preventative measures in game sounds like fun.
