We're currently running FTB Ultimate and will eventually be moving to Unleashed, either 1.5 or 1.6. I know that for the most part, they are entirely incompatible and there's no way to do a straight upgrade, but we were wondering if there's a way to salvage part of the world and import it into a...

I don't like how his jokes require hours and hours of setup before you get to the punchline. Or the way he changes other comedians' routines just to make his own standup seem funnier by comparison.

You can press K to bind a key to the flight control so you can turn it on and off. Just turn it off when you land and you should mine at normal speed. If you want to mine something high up you can float up to it, stick a cobblestone on the wall next to it and then land. If you leave flight...

What mod adds the new Equipment tab in the inventory (with slots for bracelet, necklace, gloves, etc)? I looked through NEI for things that sounded like they would fit in those slots but couldn't really find anything.

^This. The Tutamen (armor) aspect is really hard to get in high quantities. It's what I use all my extra armor for.

Even putting aside the other mods that let you automate harvesting, I think it's important to remember that doing some of these things "manually" isn't exactly hard, so I don't think it makes sense to make an automatic machine require too much setup or manual maintenance. In the amount of time...

And put a brain in a jar in there so you can get all the XP too!

If it turned cobble to netherrack at roughly the same cost as Cobble->Lava minus Netherrack->Lava then it would probably be fine as far as energy creation goes. And as long as the machine required something from the Nether in order to build... like blaze rods or something.

I think that's a key point that really needs to be said more often. A lot of people want to nerf the magma crucible because they think it's too "easy" compared to putting a pump in the Nether, but it's really not that different, and nether pumps can lag a server really badly if you have more...

If you enclose your node, you don't need to worry about wisps so excess flux isn't a big deal. I built my base on top of a barrow mound with a dark node, and was worried that this was "bad", but despite always having a ton of flux nothing particularly bad has happened except a few...

I'm following the recommended advice of keeping my steam boiler running at all times. My question is... once it's heated up, does it always consume the same amount of fuel whether or not I'm actually using the steam? For example, if I turn off my industrial steam engines, will it conserve...

DireWolf20 was also just updated with no change log.

Redpower and its deployer will be added to the next version of FTB which will hopefully be out in the next few days. In the meantime, I don't think there's a block that works just like the deployer, but there are alternatives depending on what you're trying to do. The Liquid Transposer from...

I didn't realize the routers actually created the network out of all touching chests; that's pretty cool. I'll have to give them a try.

But blarghzons are the bestzons! I have a machine that outputs 10 million megablarghzons per bleck! More seriously though, you should probably read through the wikis for some of the major mods like IndustrialCraft, Buildcraft, Forestry, and RedPower and see if anything there jumps out as...
