Not too bothered by the selection. However, after mining up a ton of silver and thinking "time for some mirrors" I was rather surprised by the absence of Factorization. The hell kind of FTB kitchen sink is missing Factorization?

Some casual observations playing this week (some mentioned above): Ferrous gen seems a bit high Chopper plants are haywire There are thousands of IC2 rubber trees. They are everywhere (way too many). XP drain is enabled on Elevators (why is this even a thing :p) Power armor table likes to...

Why wouldn't you add it is the better question. Aside from the barrel functionality being a bit better (input / output, item normalization, upgrades) you get two of the best utility items available: Dolly + Diamond Dolly. Nothing against Factorization, which is one of my favorite mods (and I...

And, alas, is no more.

Sure does. Expensive as hell, eats power, fuel. Known to be buggy. World Anchor is a much cheaper option, in build and fuel cost.

You could use the World Anchor (RC). Or drop ChickenChunks in your mod folder - it's updated for 1.7.10.

Yes, and this is a repeatable crash. Not sure if it's Binnies, Mariculture or config issue. Similar crash with other unnamed objects (the Cod Fish, for example). http://pastebin.com/xQdhvMP6

My last map was powered by cocoa beans. Easy to manually farm, fast to grow, and decompose plentifully into TNT mats - running a TNT generator array.

I imagine the distance is intended. One thing helps here: a jetpack. Rather than deal with the ghasts while I was slabbing out, I just jetted away and came back later. You'll want one anyway to dispatch blazes.

While still in beta, TPPI is making a concerted effort to present a balanced ecosystem with the mods it includes (for those here looking for such a pack).

In Monster, as above - 100% lily seeds. Travel around and find some TC chests (Greatwoods, shrines). Enable MeteorCraft and you will have plenty of endstone to plant them on, long before you need to go to the End.

Thanks for that link - I've always felt boat mods were in short supply. I honestly wouldn't mind a complex ocean-focused mod with a long tech-tree. Dry docks, submarines, canal builders, perhaps modular construction like Steve's Carts, multiblocks, all the things.

Agreed. At the very least it will cut down on these discussions where the spectrum of people who enjoy game design and theory can quit explaining themselves to people who don't give a shit.

What's Mariculture? If you mean the cause of the random lag (very specific symptom), it only happens with ATG gen (in my maps) as I've outlined above. I've got almost a week on a Monster BoP map with no performance issues at all, jetting across the ocean in my fancy Mari speedboat. It may very...

And isn't that the truth. I half expect to be able to create a flat world made entirely out of TC chests just to save the effort of flying around.
