Quicksand is a good option. Beside that you could use a tower. The soul cage 46 units up in the air. Put some iron golems(with visors) on the bottom, they'll one shot the enderman when they fall down. A little brain jar in the room to collect the experience. But still, quicksand is the best...

Doesn't the gravity gun work in similar way to the portal gun but lacks the portals? Forgot about the "push" effect from the gravity gun^ Didn't really consider griefing... at all(lol), playing on a private server. Creeper bombs... nasty stuff right there. I mostly just used the gravity gun for...

Excessive use of cables and wires transferring energy/power. At least IC2 remade the way cables worked a while ago so that helped servers. A *lot* of RP timers running faster than 0.5 seconds. Chunkloaders in general and everything that uses chunkloading(like quarries). Not sure how CPU...

Didn't mean to bring this thread back from the "dead" but was wondering why they picked the portal gun over gravity gun? Portal gun is kinda silly and maybe even "op" in many eyes, even with the current recipe. Always thought the gravity gun was a useful but not really that op tool to move...

Sorry to bother with such a silly question but how come the gravity gun isn't in FTB(mindcrack) - but *portalgun* is? Just thought it was a little odd and had to ask! Sorry once again :)

Ran across a chest with some bees. I don't use bees so I threw them away.

Some common sense will get you far in knowing what's op and not.

IC2 and Gregtech are both way too op. A server without those mods is a good server imo. Any sort of "free" power generation that comes from a mod is just straight op, doesn't matter how you try to twist and turn the subject. As for nuclear reactors... I mean come on, one guy building a "safe"...

Barrels get really handy once you start using routers. You can create some insanely compact builds to hoard all your never-ending loot in.

No offense, but what you wrote can be said about a lot of mods, many of which aren't even in FTB. There are so many mods out there that add complexity in great ways, but are fairly unknown because they're in early stages or because they add new mechanics people can't wrap their heads around...

I was playing around with those and they seem to work fairly nicely during night and day. However I was wondering if it's possible to somehow make them work when something is "blocking" sunlight? I tried with a tree but nothing happened when it blocked the sunlight on various levels. Maybe I...

I let the boiler run for 30 or so min, it was almost at full heat, yet it still went through coal at a very high speed. Might be a bug with some other mod perhaps.

Let's say you run a simple LP 2x2 boiler that is 2-3 high, is it ever viable to run that thing on charcoal/coal/coke? My jaw dropped to the ground at the speed it burned through coke coal. Charcoal was just crazy. You'd need a steady forest supply to even give it enough charcoal to keep it...

Stack size limit of 16 should be on by default imo, game is too easy when you can carry around insane amount of materials, it just doesn't make any sense. Something has to balance the fact that players does not have a weight limit on how much they can carry. Also would like to see someone...

If you want gregtech you can add it yourself :) Bye have fun!

I had nothing against EE2 but then again I didn't exploit it or used those solar collectors, they felt so cheap. However I loved the condenser. Sure, these days you can do just fine without it, but it was a nifty tool to convert "useless" junk into something you could actually use. I use the...

Big trees or areas with a large amount of trees will cause a FPS drop. Especially if you're using extraebiomes and run across a redwood/fir forest. If you're computer isn't that good, you'll notice a hefty fps drop. On my rig I prefer to build my base in a more "open" area, it helps a lot.

Hm, steves carts... think I'm going to need to take a look at that. The logger carts or whatever you guys called it seems quite interesting. Thanks. <edit> I don't use CC turtles myself because I find them way too op, just a personal thing.

I've never used the crucible and I wonder how do you supply it with a constant flow of netherrack?

I was having the same problem going from 1.4.5 to 1.4.6. All of the sudden server performance got weird. I often see flickering blocks and when I mine a block sometimes it just stays there until a block update nearby takes place or I hit it again. Looking at the tps on the server it's around...
