    The invasion mod works in a few ways. You can use the nexus with the Unstable Catalyst. Using this makes waves of monsters come at you day and night and they dont stop until they've destroyed the nexus. The Stable Catalyst will cause nightly invasions that stop during the day, they increase in...

    I've been playing around with a lot different mods, but rather than make a post about every new mod I'm just gonna start editing the first post with the mods I'm currently using. Refer to that if you're curios

    If you're using Extrabiomes XL you need to go to .minecraft/config/extrabiome/extrabiomes.cfg open that file with notepad then use the replace function to replace most of the true booleans with false. Pay attention to which ones you replace however, take it slow and pay attention, you need at...

    Ferg's Fortified city

    I've always liked the Minecraft N00B adventure's series representation of villagers. Just a little bit derp (Like everything else in minecraft. Players included ;D)

    This mod actually looks very good, the spikes are cool, and I really love the sound of the trading post. Just to keep anyone whos interested up to date, I've added: Iron Chests - cpw Chest Mover - CubeX2 (Lets you move chests from one place to another over a short distance without having to...

    Ruined City biome?

    I've been looking for exactly something like this. Lately i've been playing FTB with only wasteland-y type biomes able to spawn in, very apocalyptic. I imagined a modern-ish style town the size of your average minecraft biome, small houses, suburb style would surround the edges, getting more...

    How do you start when you play FTB?

    First I begin, then I get a wooden pickaxe, and maybe a shovel if theres no nearby exposed stone, make stone tools asap and furnace. Kill animals for food and sheep for wool. Make a bed. Then I wander around for hours looking for the prime spot to build a cool base and then spend even longer...

    I didn't mean to imply you were bashing my pack, lol. I do sometimes use the technical mods as well but they're much less useful in the situation being as you need a lot of materials to get started in something like buildcraft or IC2, not to mention all the rubber you need when you happen to...

    Infernal Mobs is another one of those mobs that I've played with before and didn't like. Some of the effects placed on monsters were more annoying than challenging and the rewards are too much for my taste depending on what kind of monster you fought to get it. Other are welcome to use it...

    I did attempt that, lol. Its probably incompatibility with something else, which is always a risk with this many mods, lol.

    As of yet no. I want to add Redpower for the Microblocks part and Xycraft. Both are a little bit "techy" but neither of them has updated to 1.5.2 yet. I do use Flans mod so can build some basic planes so I can get from one place to another quickly when I have a good amount of resources. Which...

    Thanks for the mod sugestion, and it's not really a mod 'pack' per say. Just a collection of them I had to install manually to vanilla minecraft. I'll put a list of the mods Im using up in a bit, I'm still looking for a few to bring it all together and I wanna test out some of these mods in a...

    Okay, now that I have my obsessive need to reply to everyone out of the way. ^.^; I have a new question. But first some context: I've been building my own personal mod collection for 1.5.2 for this specific purpose and I found a great mod I want to add to that collection called Mine Fantasy...

    I did decide to get Biomes O Plenty, it didn't play too nicely with Extra Biomes XL, and I prefer the latter mod to be honest, so I turned it off. Underground biomes was also a no-go sadly. I usually play on Hard, but sometimes bump it down to normal. Unless you mean Hardcore mode, I'd go...

    I don't really like the idea of Millenaire, the villages are too common. I like the lonely feeling of the wasteland, and occasionally spotting the very rare npc village makes the discovery all the more fun. The backpacks mod is a good idea and I'll definately try that out for when I need to...

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    Edit: Fixed the images! =D, the spoiler thing is still being a bit wonky though. I call this place Defiance Fortress for...reasons that sound rather silly out of context. It was started in survival but eventually I just switched over to creative so I could use fillers and other things to speed...

    It's absolutely mental, if your base isn't extremely secure it will get chewed through in seconds. (Literally, the zombies eat your walls away.) The way I have it set up is nightly monsters attack my base in waves until the sun rises, increasing intensity every night. (Theres also an item to...

    So, lately I've been playing on FTB Ultimate after doing a little editing to my Extrabiomes XL config files. Basically only a few types of biomes will spawn in my worlds now. (The Wasteland Biome, The Redrock Mountains, Deserts, Desert Mountains, Glaciers, and Ice Wastelands) I've also banned...
