I think the issue may be that you don't have the cargo manager configured correctly. In addition to setting the individual inventory area to the 'engine' slot, you need to make sure the direction is "to cart" and not "from cart" Click the arrow to change direction. You can see the railer slot...

This is an interesting question. I haven't played vanilla since the beta, but now I'm actually introducing a friend to Minecraft, and I decided to take him through vanilla first (I told him about mods of course, so I didn't just decide for him). It's interesting watching / helping him try to...

I'd just like to add a +1 to making the world deeper (I.E. there's more space between sea level / standard world height and bedrock). This would make mining more interesting since there's farther to go, and have more space for all the new ores added by other mods (if you play Ultimate /...

I understand where you're coming from, but why not have more choice? Someone who's more familiar with IC2 or likes it better can have the option to use it, and someone who doesn't can just ignore it. I would argue that, at the current time, it's still a core part of the modded minecraft...

To me, IC2 and Thermal Expansion are workhorse mods at this point. By that I mean I don't expect them to wow me with new mechanics (although that sometimes happens with the new additions, especially for thermal expansion), but they are just the default things I get started with when I'm making a...

I'm running the beta version of the Monster pack. I crafted a turtle, and whenever I access its interface or run a program on it, it drops my FPS down to around 2 per second. I am relatively early game and just have 1 turtle, with no other computers or machines. I had used turtles in Ultimate...

@Padfoote & Tristam Izumi: Thank you!

Updating from Ultimate to Monster, I noticed that theres a UI mod in Monster that displays the name of whatever block you're looking at in the top center of the screen. Which mod does this, and how do I turn it off?

Thanks for your reply Gattsuru. But, couldn't one say it's faster to use mass mining rather than a manual pick? While it's true a fortune III pick will give you more drops per block, an automatic mining solution (I'm partial to RP2 TBMs myself) mines many more blocks per minute, which could...

There's also a bunch of F2P MMO games out there, if you're into that type of thing

Secret rooms mod (as redboss posted above). It's included in the Ultimate pack.

What do you mean? Do you mean that you won't get as much quartz if you automatically mine it?

you could also use an export bus sending cobble into a fabricator (xycraft), which will auto-craft furnaces once the recipe is set. Just have to pull out the completed furnaces with an import bus, and I'd recommend using a level emitter to control it all.

Hard to pick one favorite. I couldn't play minecraft anymore with just one or two mods, let alone vanilla. Another question that gets me stuck when picking a favorite is do I give credit to the "original" mod that had an idea first, or the later one that changed and improved on it? (for...

In addition to some of the ones on your list, I've got the following working on MCPC+ with FTB Ultimate BiomeEdit DeathBukkit (although worn armor, vanilla or mod, isn't saved when you die) PermissionsBukkit Simple Backup

Another vote for Buildcraft here. I specifically remember the video introducing it where it showed the quarry, filler, and pipe systems. I got in on the first version that had engines.

I think the complaints about the added content are not so much about the content itself (hoppers and horses are great), but rather the disruption caused by Mojang updates. For vanilla people the updates are just an addition, but for mod-players it means we now have to wait for every single mod...

I'm glad to see Mojang supporting and improving their game, but I don't get why they won't make a mod api. Also I really wish they'd make Minecraft less CPU intensive so I can get better FPS and take advantage of my GPU. Getting back to OT: I'd like to see mods focusing more on working...

I'm also running a small private server. I just run it on my desktop when we want to play together; it's not worth paying for a professional server host (yet). Backup: I'm using Simple Backup, it's easy to use and basic, and it does what I need. Permissions: Shouldn't be necessary, but...

Sorry KrinDave, I guess I missed it. I thought you were talking about using a different mod from BoP, not a compatibility crossover. Wish I knew about that in my previous modpack before I switched to Ultimate & EBXL. Overall, I personally would still take either as there are advantages and...
