Actually the speedrun map already has a lot of stuff set up and ready to go. I saw a complete BigReactor (or whatever the mod is called now) with diamond blocks for a coolant, except it was missing the Controller block. So obviously the idea is that one of the quests provides you with the...

I tried the SkyFactory3 speedrun map but I don't know what I'm supposed to do first. Just tell me the very first thing I should do and maybe that will get me started? The best time so far is 34 minutes to complete the map. I'd probably guess that I won't be able to compete it in 34 HOURS, but...

Its not just ExU2 mod that's gone downhill, it's ALL the mods and ALL the modpacks. Oh sure, the game probably runs better in v1.10.2 than it did in v1.7.10, but so much changed in terms of the mod selection and the mods themselves, all of which seemingly had to be re-written from scratch...

I made the Immersive Engineering coke ovens in Beyond, yes. I thought I needed to turn coal into coke, and then use the coke in a blast furnace to make steel ingots... but then I discovered another much easier way to make steel. But yes, they are certainly buildable in Beyond, at least the...

Yeah in my view Minecraft v1.10.2 is a step down from v1.7.10 - in fact, I think v1.7.10 will be viewed down the road as the high point of modded minecraft... it's not just the Extra Utils mod that took a nosedive, sadly. You and I definitely see things similar, I also miss the Buildcraft...

Indeed. I concur, there's a lot of inconsistent stuff going on with it... for instance, why do we get cobble, dirt and gravel, but not sand or sandstone? I suppose I need to make a Desert Biome marker and try that out (also for my Saltpeter/Niter question). I've only used this Quantum Quarry...

I totally agree. I don't like blocks that work in mysterious ways that we cannot see. Apparently the Quantum Quarry does indeed create a "phantom world" and quarries from it somehow. I'm using a Silk Touch book since I prefer to double my diamond ores, so the quarry does bring up stone...

Playing FTB Beyond, using the Quantum Quarry from Extra Utilities 2 mod... what are the best Biome Markers to use for it? So far I made Extreme Hills marker, for obtaining Emerald Ores... and I also discovered a Mesa biome which contains more gold ore than other biomes as of vanilla Minecraft...

Nope, your theory is wrong because i didn't get a nether star in the Vacuum Hopper (I still use the old names for things, it's called something else in Beyond, but its still the Vacuum Hopper)... so the Wither definitely despawned or else something happened. The Draconic Grinder definitely...

Since when does a Wither de-spawn? I thought they didn't. But I made a Wither grinder and despite checking it over and swearing I did it correctly, somehow the Draconic Grinder was backwards. Thus, within a short while, the Wither began breaking thru the Dark Steel cage and panic ensued. LOL...

Beyond v1.2 is out. Why no changelog? I guess we have an update where nothing changed. https://www.feed-the-beast.com/projects/ftb-beyond/files/2393888

This pretty much sums up v1.10.2, its still not ready for prime time. I still say v1.7.10 will, in the future, be viewed as the "peak" of modded Minecraft, with the best selection of mods and modpacks. FTB Beyond is a boring modpack, plain and simple... in my opinion anyways. However, I...

Yeah I used one of those java strings and I dunno if its the reason why, but the brief pause of the game that was happening every 5-10 seconds went away (it was only happening in v1.10.2 modpacks). So I highly recommend that post as well, I saved a link to it as well when I came across it, and I...

If I make a portal to the Deep Dark, can I then move the portal on the Deep Dark side to a place where it's much more useful such as elevation 11? Will it break my game (I'm playing on someone else's server)? I can keep the X and Z coordinates the same if I have to, and only change the Y...

That's a good point, maybe I've just missed seeing them. I will use a potion of nightvision to peer into the depths on my next boating trip.

Instead of "Normal" and "Expert" modes, why doesn't the FTB Team take a different approach this time? Create a "Non-Lag" modpack, and a "Lag" modpack version instead. The "Lag" version will have all the good stuff like fast-decaying leaves and extra biomes and mods that add stuff to make you...

Excuse my question and my lack of proper terminology, but I'm new to v1.10.2 - this modpack should have those new vanilla under-the-ocean buildings with the new fish (the thing that shoots beams at the squids), is that correct? I need to ask because I've been examining every ocean I found, but...

I barely even remember FTB Ultimate days. LOL That was probably 3 years ago now? More? But yeah, Infitech2 modpack is by far my favorite modpack, I'm still playing my world. GregTech is my favorite mod of all time, since I'm a techhie. :) So I hear ya. I know all about GT's ore...

After playing the pack for a few days now, it's apparent that the "Tech Reborn" mod is an attempt to copy GregTech. But it's got a lot of WIP (work in progress) items, and thus it seems incomplete. Here's my thoughts: why do we need a GregTech copy mod, when the real GregTech mod is still in...

Yeah it was upsetting to see Alumite is gone from the Tinkers mod, that was my go-to material for all my early-game needs. To get around this problem, I scoured NEI (or JEI or whatever acronym we're using for it this year) and discovered there's a block called Iron Alloy Furnace, which can make...
