    Sorting & Ore Processing

    for pure storage/sorting AE is probably the most powerful although it lacks that visseral feel of items ziping all over the place through pipes. Depending on your modpack it can even be extreamly cheep. If you have the betterStorage mod you can get a positively massive amount of searchable...

    Why don't people like IC2 anymore?

    I enjoyed IC2 back in the day but frankly its ageing and I dont really like many of the changes that have been made to the recent versions. In particular the new version of the power system is particularly tedious. It does not help that greg has been added to the dev team and his grubby...

    Thaumcraft 4 research - unsolvable research notes

    RNG(random number generator) is just being unkind to you OP. It is possible to get a research puzzle that is flat out impossible although more often its just rather difficult. I tend to start off researches with aspects I have alot of and if I dont like the look of the layout I toss the...

    Horizons.. Anyone found Zinc or Adamantine?

    I've found adamantine at various Y levels and bioms, its just increadably rare. I usualy only find at most 1 node of adamantine(normaly 2 ores at a time) every other time I have to repair the cobalt hammer I use for general perpous mining. Zinc on the other hand I suspect is buged and not...

    Why isn't Monster getting attention?

    While I've been rather likeing rotary craft while playing on horizons I'm not sure how well it would play out in a lets play setting. One issue is you have to micromanage every stage of seting up your power train. Every time your power line splits or converges you need to make sure the ratios...

    Is there any mod that disables block breaking in creative?

    While I havent played it on a 1.6 version of MC, modular power suits if setup properly never really needed to be recharged. Between the solar and kenetic generator you could maintain flight for days as long as you didnt use the power hungry tool mods at the same time. Additionaly you might...

    Advanced genetics crash bug. Pack Horizons 1.0.7 Mod Advanced genetics Crash log: Sorry dont have the log, it crashed the server and I dont have access to the log. What is the bug: Every so often the gene splitter will produce an "Unnamed" gene instead of what it was selected in the UI. If...

    FTB Horizons - General Feedback Thread

    Looks like a good pack overall. The only mods in there I would rather not have are the metalurgy (and the 2-3 other mods from the same team) The concept of the mods are fine and intresting but they just add way way to many new resorces. I tried out a pack that had them in it on that other...

    So... How are U guys gonna set up power generation after the new packs come out?

    I to am not a big fan of the new IC2 power system. With the old system you could have a rather large power grid as long as you kept the packet size down. Now you've got to jump through a bunch of hoops and effectively make smaller subgrids to keep the same number of machines running. That and...

    How do you decide the progression of your base?

    I generaly start out with a hole in the ground as an initial stageing area. This usualy does not even get a proper door, just a dirt block to keep zombies out. Sometimes I'll start a small wheat farm outside if there is water avalible close otherwise I go strait for mining. After the first...

    Is there a list somewhere of the different packs that support 1.6?

    I personaly prefer Solitary craft over Resonant rise. SC alows you to pick and choose what mods you want along in the pack by makeing almost everything optional while RR locks you into alot of them unless you manualy go in and yank them out of the install folder. My particular gripe with RR...

    Automate Backups for a single player world?

    You might want to consider checking out this mod WorldStateCheckpoints. It gives several options for saveing/loading your world including seting it up to auto save every so many minutes

    How do you generate large scale MJ?

    I tend to use MFR's bio generators for MJ production. You can prety much run a bunch of the things off just the output of a simple tree or crop farm (I'm partial to useing a melon farm auto crafting seeds and stuffing those in there) You can get better fule per item efficency if you deversify...

    Factorization Help? FTB Ultimate

    I dont remember if factorization routers can extract from barrles. If they do I'd recomend puting in the upgrade that moves a stack at a time and the upgrade that ejects in the router into an inventory and possibly the machine filter. Have it extract from the tops of barrles(or whatever side)...

    Tinkers Construct Best Weapon Help

    Sacrilege. Everybody knows there is no kill like overkill. When it comes to damage if its worth doing its worth overdoing. On topic though tristams suggestions closely mirror mine although I hadnt thought of useing green slime for the bow rods, will have to try that. One thing I will...

    Problems with Mystcraft portals & railcraft locomotive direction

    I was haveing this same problem on my last server actualy. Train was going through the portal to the mining age just fine, came out the right direction as did any players useing that portal. However for some reason when returning through the portal to the overworld the engien always came out...

    Tinkers Construct Clarification (Hammer)

    I generaly do this for my first hammer but I'll normally try to upgrade to steel fairly early on. Why? because once you slap the dimond/emerald upgrade on that stone hammer it goes from needing a couple cobble to repair to nearly a full stack. Sure you'll have cobble to burn but as fast as it...

    Thaumcraft 4 what to do if you run out of aspects

    Personaly my bigest gripe with TC4 falls purely to RNG. It took me 3 hours to build my first thaumometer. I had 5 of the needed shards withen about 15 minutes but it took 3 hours to find order shards on my world. I literaly had a stack or more of all the other types of shards by the time I...

    Need Advice on Power

    If you dont mind useing power converters its fairly easy to use the MFR bio generators paired with a couple of farms to cover your power needs and then just convert the excess into EU and dump into the mater fab. I was feeding saplings, pumpkin/melon seeds, carrots, potatos and cactus...
