    Why do I always crash?

    You have 5 different versions of java installed, never a good thing. The launcher is at least picking a 64-bit version but is using 1.7.0_0. It is recommended to use 1.7.0_45. At the very least get rid of the 1.6 version, it was around that time that java would not uninstall completely.

    Thermal Expansion RF generation in other mods?

    Its more about storing the RF produced from banks of dynamos. A single dynamo, set to charge the simplest energy cell that will hold 400k RT and release 80 RT/t, will run your early ore processing. A simple energy cell upgrade gives you 2milion RT at 400 RT/t. The whopper gives you 50 mill...

    Sustainable energy in TE3

    Wow, what texture pack is that? You know, you could reduce your surface footprint by lowering the mirrors into a bowl shaped depression and extending your boiler tower down some. I see some of your mirrors are inactive with that config ;).

    You must have spun your mousewheel in the wrong spot. The waypoints are all saved and viewable under different modes (all, none, deaths, or other various custom group names).

    What mod pack is the best?

    From personal experience, even older lappys that can still easily play most modern games, will scream to a stop with a full FTB pack. Your hosting situation will likely help, as well as a thinned down pack. You might be better off making a lighter version of the lite pack, or a custom one with...

    Where to even start with modding

    Or not. I immediately remap 'R' and middle mouse to do anything but sort. I use InvTweaks for a few things, but sort is not one of them. Nothing more irritating than to have your inventory and chests all laid out how you like them and then look up to see a jumbled mess and have to manually...

    What FPS do you get in the DW20 1.6 pack?

    Just a thought- Make sure your java process is set to run off of your graphics card and not your integrated cpu graphics.

    Alveary Mutations

    Try restarting your game. Alternatively, and I've seen this personally, try resetting the alveary by removing a block from it and then replacing it.

    Powering Thermal Expansion machines

    Just starting in FtB. I actually learned a few things, validated a few and have a few to try out now. Needed a post like this sent to the top.

    What am I doing wrong?

    So you used 250 magmatic engines at 0.4MJ/t?

    Thank you, very succinct and what I wanted to hear! So 1/4 of the genome pool is replaced with the higher species entire 'mutated' set and the distribution is mendelian from there. Perfect. I think my biggest realization from this conversation is the above, as well as finally grasping that the...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I missed the flurry of bee breeding activity, but learned a lot by reading back a bit. I have, up to now, purebred sets of both common and cultivated (all progeny identical genomes and stackable). They are however not holotypes or 'purebred' in the sense they do not have the default genes...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    From ftbwiki.org - When using an Ender Tank and a chunk loader in the same chunk (8x8), the chunk can be reset and you will lose everything that was in that chunk. Possible fix: have a chunk loader in a chunk next to it, but increase the size of chunk loading to include the nearby chunks (Use...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Short term problem solved- planted a couple silvertrees at a slight distance, merged those and was then able to reconvert that teensy unstable node. Now how to get to the large 600 unstable node at lava level, do I have to create a huge gorge for a silvertree chain to bedrock?
