    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Just put a Mekanism installation under the floor and you'll get more ugly sound than you bargained for :D

    December News

    Fun fact: "Kitchen Sink Pack" comes from the old expression along the lines of "It includes everything but the Kitchen sink" meaning deluxe.

    November News

    In addition, I'd like to add that nobody is being paid for any of their involvement here. Not the mod developers. Not the pack makers. I could understand the lack of patience IF we were paying for DLC, but we're not. In fact one of the games I've played on-line since 2006 went through an...

    Official FTB Pack Suggestions Thread

    On this last point, Direwolf20 sees his packs as tutorials to familiarize people with mods as they were intended to be played. Non-Direwolf20 packs are usually modified to some extent. By that time players should become familiar with the idea that recipes can be changed or that something may...

    Problem How do I update Forge from 12.18.3.2422 to 12.18.3.2488 or above in FTB Beyond 1.10.2

    Stupid question, but you didn't try loading the newest version of RFTools into that older pack, did you? Only in a very few cases did that work, such as adding 1.10 mods to a 1.8 pack or 1.11 into a 1.10 pack. Updating to a Forge version for a newer pack version breaks things good as well...

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    Call me a noob but I was testing a Tinker's hammer while mining yesterday and found that "Monster Eggs" (silverfish) won't break when you break the cobble surrounding them *PHEW!* :D [Edit] Of course, this assumes the block you're targeting ISN'T a Monster Egg :rolleyes:

    Sorry, I misunderstood your intention. I don't actually know the answer to your question.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Two reasons come to mind why this doesn't exist: 1). In a multiplayer world you would need OP access which could lead to problems... No two people can agree on what time it should be. One may want daytime while someone else needs it to be midnight for a crafting recipe, for example. 2). In a...

    Thermal Foundation - use of Tar?

    Yeah... tar.gz is a default name for a "Gnu Zip" compressed file of a tar archive. When I was using the tar command I was actually writing uncompressed system backups onto real reel-to-reel tapes :D

    Thermal Foundation - use of Tar?

    Having been a Unix admin in the past, every time I see this thread I'm reminded of Tape Backups (tar command) :D

    Isn`t it time to update the Beyond pack now?

    If FtB is working on new packs, such as the 1.12.2 versions of Direwolf20, Horizons III and Continuum they have generally relegated older packs to Maintenance mode... Unless something world shattering breaks in an older pack they're finished with it.

    April News

    Nobody reads these older threads anymore. This one was for news last April... You'll have better luck on the "General Chat" group under the "Ask A Simple Question" subject, which almost everyone looks at daily. Be sure to mention the pack name and version in your post to avoid being asked to...

    Throwing together a quick pack to introduce a newbie

    I think Direwolf said in one of his recent 1.12.2 LPs (circa Thanksgiving weekend) that Iron Backpacks' enhancements are being worked on and will be added to the pack when complete.

    1.14 Hype

    Like I said in my post above, fish, kelp and coral don't do anything for me... I want to see where the weird stuff you get when fishing actually comes from. I mean, is Aquaman down there fishing for chickens and losing enchanted rods? Maybe the saddles fall off of dolphins? Are there...

    1.14 Hype

    None, unless you're interested in the new ocean biomes (warm and cold), dolphins, kelp, coral, shipwrecks and the fact that you'll be able to see the fish you've been catching and put them into an aquarium... I'm waiting for an Aquatic mod that shows you all the other things you've been...

    Getting to the end

    I don't know what mod it's in or if the mod is in H3, but I've seen "Ender Cake" (I think that was what it was called) in Skyblock packs where you get to the end by eating a slice...

    FTB Beyond Release

    Try asking in the "Ask a simple question" thread in "General Chat"... This area is supposed to be for FtB news, and anyone who could answer your question almost certainly reads the other thread. (I don't play on a server, so I have no idea).

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    Isn't "didn't know about Not" a double negative? :D

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    In the real world the effect would be caused by Atmospheric pressure (Warm air with no moisture is lighter). :D Forgive me for being a pedant, but 99% of guitar pickups are electromagnetic. The rest are Piezoelectric, such as the stick-on types for accoustic guitars with nylon strings, but...

    Horizons 3

    It's up to the mod developers to provide documentation for their mods if they wish. Many do it exceptionally well, some don't bother. But they all do so for free. The best thing to do is to find someone who has done a "Mod Spotlight" on the mod in question... Direwolf20 has a long-running...
