    FTB and Forge - Curse Partnership.

    I remember using Curse Client back when I played World of Warcraft for add-ons and, while the experience wasn't exactly bad, this might mean a downgrade feature-wise. Curse is always trying to push their premium services and I find it hard to believe they would try something like this without...

    Free Bc Energy Plant

    It generates energy from the energy pulse that autarchic gates can make (one 1MJ pulse per second). The box is a Redstone Energy Cell from Thermal Expansion, which allows for Buildcraft energy storage.

    How do i use logistics pipes?

    Uh, yes. It being open source doesn't change the fact there's an original author to a piece of code. In this specific case, the unofficial update is a simple port of the mod to 1.4.5 with no changes issued, while it's quite likely the official updated version will have new features added to it...

    Is FTB appropriate for MineCraft newbs?

    I wouldn't recommend adding TE, Forestry and Railcraft if you want to learn each mod at a time just because they're not actually direct additions to Buildcraft, as they add a lot of new, independent content each, and if the idea was to make learning less overwhelming that won't accomplish the...

    is FTB Normal map for 1.2.5 a good way to learn FTB and its mods?

    You'll learn about many core mods of FTB, but considering the current pack, that's not the optimal way to learn. The FTB 1.2.5 map depends a lot on EE2, which is not in the new pack nor will it ever be, seeing as it won't be updated, being replaced by EE3, which for what I know is really...

    FTB records in fragments instead of 1 whole segment

    Dxtory alone can't stream. You can set it up as a camera for XSplit, though, which can often be a really good alternative for game source as far as performance goes.

    Pipes and Item Routing Strategies in FTB

    Oh, that actually should work. Hadn't thought of that, even though I used basically the same in my old Distribution Pipes. Thanks!

    Pipes and Item Routing Strategies in FTB

    I've been facing quite a few hurdles when it comes to making compact automated systems in the current release of FTB. Without Logistics Pipes, RedPower or even AdditionalPipes I honestly have no idea how to make simple designs such as an array of Recyclers with the items that are going to be...

    playing FTB ith forestry, im initially stuck for power

    Another option is the Hobbyist's Steam Engine. It's a little bit more expensive than the Stirling Engine and takes some time to heat up but is less risky (can't explode if you keep supplying water to it) and is also more efficient the hotter it is, being a better choice if you need a stable...

    FTB records in fragments instead of 1 whole segment

    As far as I know, yes. Just make sure to use the Lagarith Lossless Codec, as it's the one I've found to be generally the best compatibility-wise. I can't confirm, though, I mostly use Premiere Pro for my video editing needs, but it should be fine.

    FTB records in fragments instead of 1 whole segment

    Try Dxtory. It's very similar to XSplit, but more versatile, allows for many different codecs and, most importantly, records in a single video file instead of many fragments.

    What are you listening to?

    If you guys have time you should check out InMomentum's OST, it is absolutely fantastic.

    RedPower2 request

    Oh god, yes. That's actually a fantastic idea. She could even go further and do like Forestry and have these little pop-ups at the right side of the machine GUI that explain stuff about the machine (in this specific case, about the current sorting mode), that would be awesome.
