    Best pack for designing structures?

    There's also the blocks from Binnies mods, I think, with the Carpenter. You can make cool wood designs and such, using most of the wood types out there.

    **SPOILER ALERT** - Agrarian Skies - Hints, Tips, Secrets

    One note, you can shear infested leaves, and then slap them on a tree, and they'll spread. Shearing the leaves still drops string and silkworms, too.

    Ars Magica Essence Nexus question

    Twilight Forest tends to have larger pools, I've found.

    Thoughts on Biomes O plenty?

    TPPI (Test Pack Please Ignore) is the Reddit pack. Pretty similar to Ultimate in execution. Pretty much "Yeah, we got a mod for that." Use the code "MegaSharkPunch" (without quotes) to access it. subreddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/TestPackPleaseIgnore/

    Agrarian 'Derp' Skies

    I've derped by making a furnace, then the next quest needs a slab furnace. Didn't realize I could make tools as soon as I made the TiC stuff, so I was sitting around without a pick for an incredibly long time. Fell off a number of times, but oddly enough, I've never gotten killed by that road...

    Uhhhh..... what?

    One of my world ideas is to add all the "natural disaster" mods, and play a guy who's forced to build underground. I'm going to have various warning screens and daylight sensors set all over the area around his base, so that he can see exactly what's outside at any time.

    What weird cross-mod combos have you found?

    I've found that the Steel Leaf tools from Twilight Forest can be placed in an Auto-Disenchanter from MFR to take the inherent enchants they get and put it on a book. You can then copy that book with the Printing Press from Extra Utilities Bibliocraft. Edit: Thanks for the correction, Dravarden!

    Nether broken - screwing server!

    It used to be that certain areas around the spawn point in each dimension would remain loaded, but I'm not sure if that's the case anymore. If it is, that, combined with a buildcraft pump, could be causing problems by trying to render all the lava lighting updates. You could try either moving...

    IC2 Experimental - How does the enrgy work now?

    Those aren't actually in the 1.0.7 Direwolf pack, and are from Advanced Machines, not IC2 proper.

    odd message on bottom right.

    I've found it doesn't always tell me everything that I pick up. For example, if I'm branch mining with a TiCo Hammer, I might see 1 or 2x cobblestone, but no ores.

    The Ultimate Tinkers Construct Tools

    Just tried it, looks like it must have been a force axe. However, the lumber axes do work on those giant oaks that are in the Direwolf20 1.6 packs.

    The Ultimate Tinkers Construct Tools

    I used one on a Redwood. My computer reached out and slapped me.

    Direwolf20 1.6.4 (1.0.4) Where's the frame motor's and frames at?

    Also, MFFS 3 has frame-like bits to it, though it's a bit more expensive, I think.

    Replacement for Buildcraft Builder?

    MFFS 3 (Calclavia's version) can do something like it. Check out Direwolf20's mod spotlight of it, he covers what you need to do.
