    Equivalent Exchange/Other Ways to Get Ender Pearls

    This is true, but boy oh BOY do I love that denk "0-1 enderpearls" drop chance combined with a low spawnrate for endermen in the firstplace. If I wanted to run around doing everything myself and getting all grindy, I'd be playing vanilla!

    Fast movement/travel options in Infinity

    Get yourself a SimplyJetpack, a really long ceiling, and sprint right before jumping into the ceiling. Hold down spacebar + forward. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ...Please note I am not responsible for you inevitably impacting chunk boundaries from abusing physics exploits to travel...

    Don't lie, we all know you have a startup routine.

    1. Add Mekanism because it's permanently fused to my spine and I'll implode if it's removed 2. Get pulverizer running with earlygame powersource du jour 3. Bumrush Digital Miner 4. Enjoy having gotten out of another extremely tedious earlygame experience

    Elegant Automation v. "Beautiful Complexity" Automation

    On paper, I love beautiful complexity--the whirr and whiz of items and entities flying around everywhere down corridors and on ceilings. I started working on a maglev train system the other day (thank you, arcane levitators, for being awesome) purely for the fun factor of watching hovering chest...

    Pushing through the tedium.

    I absolutely loathe mining. I find it boring, tedious, and an uninteresting timesink. If anything has the word "worldgen" in its description I automatically cringe. To stave off the sheer boredom, I usually bum-rush automatic mining as soon as humanly possible (the Mekanism digital miner being...

    Explodey things! :D

    Explosive/elemental arrows are alive and well, and the mod is QUITE dandy thanks to AtomicStryker handling all of it. http://atomicstryker.net/ropesplus.html

    Too much iron

    Start building an underwater base with the iron block/black wool/glass motif; it looks really nice. If you don't have quite THAT much iron, then you could transmute it to other materials or invest in some nice furniture.

    Mixing Universal Electricity and FTB mods

    I assumed he just meant in terms of compatibility. Of course something so broad will be virtually impossible to balance...for instance, I like to use MineChem for its non-hilariously-exploity features. Don't always have to abuse the loopholes.

    What the hell is this thing in my face?

    I tried to institute a program on a server to get everyone who was sharing my base to wear trackers so I could identify them at all times. Unfortunately, it didn't go too well. Although it led to some hilarious bits because half my trackers had oblivious owners.

    I swear my villagers are creeping me out.

    In terms of creeping out, what really bugged me was TC2's Thaumic Slimes. Those things would STALK you.

    Mixing Universal Electricity and FTB mods

    You can always mix anything. Generate UE config files in multimc, reconfigure to fit in acceptable ID ranges for whatever pack you're using, shove mods into pack. Proceed to shoot off missiles at the speed of hilarious. EDIT: Well, except mods that are strictly incompatible, but the ones...

    IC2 Addon [Tools/Armor/Recipes This Update][Functionality Next]

    Prepare to be bashed by a hilarious amount of people who criticize solars for being too easy. That said, I like the idea. There's always been less solars than voltage tiers, especially with GregTech's hilariously high voltages--although a solar panel at THAT voltage might be a bit much.

    Can't craft Wand of the Adept

    You could about-face lickety-split and throw all your Science into getting the Node Purify aspects of Thaumic Bees. I'm not very experienced with bees, though (I usually don't bother) so I can't offer specifics.

    If you didn't have solars...

    I'd build an obsidian generator (thanks, TE) paired with a minium stone that converts it to logs at the speed of hilarious. Could then shovel it into a steam boiler, generator, or some other form of bio-generation... EDIT: If you didn't want to be boring about the obsidian generation bit, you...

    My list of mods that should be included for a complete experience:

    MAtmos has never really felt atmospheric for me. It's just unnecessarily laggy and feels like a kid brother constantly poking you in the shoulder every ten seconds. "Hey! Hey! Look at me! Hey!" Although that would also make for an appropriate Navi analogy, wouldn't it?
