    FTB Horizons - General Feedback Thread

    Yes. I even stated so in my first response in the message. The time it took me to miss Bibliocraft? The time it took me to mine my first batch of iron. Bookshelf + TiCo books. So "Extended time" isn't the factor here. ;) Yes, I get that. I was not saying it should be included nor really...

    FTB Horizons - General Feedback Thread

    T'heck with that. The mod I am missing most in this mod pack? A way to automate farming mining outside of TC (which I do not care for nor use)? Nope. Bibliocraft. Tool racks and bookshelves. Out of all the blocks that have gone AWOL those are the two I miss the most. No joke. I loved...

    1.8 Vanilla Enchanting

    Make what more scarce, gold or enchanting? Ever since I got into modded Minecraft I can count on one hand the number of times I've bothered with vanilla enchants, and have 5 fingers left over. And no, I did not kill Inigo Montoya's father. I lament the lack of XP's use as a resource in mods...

    FTB Horizons - General Feedback Thread

    My impression so far: Too many mods which are too busy and add far too little. Agriculture, Pam's Harvest, Gany's (all), Metallurgy, just to name a few. All of them add a metric buttload of new stuff, but absolutely no reason to use any of it. I get that it is interesting to have different...

    Question about Biomes O'Plenty & 1.5.2 unleashed

    Well, this sucks. I just recently started an SSP world and figured adding BoP would be enough to get BoP generation. No wonder it's been bland so far. Seriously, 2 steps? Is it really that toxic that enabling it isn't enough. Cripes.

    The point of bees?

    Are you in the habit of telling people to do what they have stated they already do? I mean you quoted it!

    The point of bees?

    The point of bees is to make the rest of the game basically pointless. As someone else pointed out, "what don't you use bees for?" Why mine? Bees! Why combat for XP? Bees! Why explore? Bees! Why use the mechanics of other mods to do things those mods can do? BEES!!!!!! Prime reason why...

    Cubic Chunks! Cubic Chunks!

    I don't see those two as related. As I noted we have lighting bugs now. And they occur in just those situations! It boils down to a simple cost/benefit analysis. Here are the benefits, a smaller memory footprint per player, at least 25% minimum, which results in either increased performance...

    Cubic Chunks! Cubic Chunks!

    I started my message with a specific statement, " it is clear that the people have not read the linked page in the first post." Want to know why? It was a subtle hint that maybe people should go read that first. Case in point, your mesage. They addressed this in that topic. In cases like...

    Cubic Chunks! Cubic Chunks!

    Ok, all 4 pages done. From what I've seen of the common criticisms it is clear that the people have not read the linked page in the first post. Every one of those criticisms were addressed in the original page. - "FPS will drop." No, it will increase because your machine has to load less and...

    Never Underestimate Small Boilers!

    Even that wasn't good enough. Back in the dark times, before tanks and TE, the infinite water pool + pump was used. Sometimes, just sometimes, the pump would suck up water before the previous water had respawned. End result, the infinite water pool became less than infinite. It happened even...

    Getting the most out of your ME Network

    You are the best kind of person who asks a question. :) As you answered your own question. An ME chest is cheaper than a drive. To access a chest you just need the chest. For the drive you need a chest, a controller, a terminal. The rest is needed for both. Just a quick calc, might...

    Getting the most out of your ME Network

    This is slightly misleading. For your build you need to make the disk drive, the terminal, find a place to stash said disk drive and everything else. Those are common to both builds so are not a negative to Miguk's build without also being a negative to yours. As for the ME chest, the same...

    Alternative to RP2 pneumatic tubes

    Logistics Pipes. Not sure if it is in unleashed (still on my self imposed hiatus) but LP did inventory-directed sorting before barrels even existed to allow RP2 to do the same.

    Greg Tech opinion discussions go here

    My only regret is that in removing IC2 and GT months ago as redundant and uninteresting in light of where the rest of the modding community was going I cannot now proclaim, "I said uninstalled, SIR!" and uninstall it again. I guess I could install it then go on about the business of righteous...
