    Ways to make my world less laggy?

    Too many variables to effectively answer. What's in the pack? What's in the base? Do you have a dedicated GPU? How much memory? What version of Minecraft? Is Java up-to-date? Etcetera etcetera. Generally speaking, if you want to remove lag, remove blocks or items that are animated...

    Recommended book making mod/framework?

    Which no one should do, really. But it might be worth running a few questions by her to see if she'd be willing to offer pointers, code chunks, or whatever. Never know! :3 Personally, I am of the mind that she could seriously release the code to that book as a modding API or something and...

    Recommended book making mod/framework?

    If there's a mod guide book I'd look to for inspiration out of all I've played and seen, it'd be Botania's. Sucker's a work of art, functional, humorous, and effective at teaching you what you need to know.

    Botania - An innovative natural magic themed tech mod (Not in beta any more!)

    This is the sort of thing I personally like to see, as vain as I am. It's an efficient, useful design that is visually pleasing. ^.^ What I'm trying to figure out right now on a personal level is how I can improve my passive, unattended mana generation. Sure, lots of people seem to like the...

    Seeking Botania feedback

    I'm still pretty early in this mod, so my viewpoint is definitely skewed toward the early-game, but I'll share what thoughts I have. Early game mana generation actually feels pretty solid. While dayblooms are easy enough to make and will be the bare minimum to get started, you learn very...

    Strange Nether generation, thoughts?

    Honestly I think you're reading too much into it. While I don't personally care about achievements or trophies either, I look at it this way: if these things encourage people to stick around, help others, and contribute to conversations, it's ultimately helping the community. While I may not...

    how long do you usually play on a world before you get bored?

    Once I've found a worldgen I like and intend to play in, I find I tend to burn out on it in approximately a month or so. Never been able to pinpoint why precisely, but I suspect it's because that's roughly how long it takes for me to get whatever project has engaged my interest done. Once that...

    Strange Nether generation, thoughts?

    Oh gods what has my innocent request for assistance become?! The humanity...! /flee

    Strange Nether generation, thoughts?

    Damn, you're good. This is why I stick with the FTB community, y'all are awesome. That fixed it right proper and everything runs as it should! Thanks! :D

    Strange Nether generation, thoughts?

    So I put together a small little mostly magic single player map that I play on LAN with my significant other and everything's been fine and dandy up until now. I built myself a nether portal, walked through, and was met with the strangest thing: approximately half of the landmass is made up of...

    Botania - An innovative natural magic themed tech mod (Not in beta any more!)

    While I'm not playing the mod yet (nor minecraft at all really at the moment), I'm keeping an eye on it for a stable release and as something to try out when I can move to a proper 1.7 pack. ^.^ Just wanted to encourage you that at least one lurker is watching and hoping for the best!

    automatic ore processing (noob)

    Ah, perhaps that's why I can never seem to keep things straight. In personal experience I think I've always needed the signal for it, but I'm also a remarkably low tech player and have no experience with things like quarries and other high end automated technological systems. Always had...

    automatic ore processing (noob)

    I can never remember if Itemducts need it or not, but some of the TE pipes require a redstone signal to activate. I usually go with a redstone block or lever, myself. Not saying that's your issue, but it's a quick enough thing to test just in case if no one else sees the issue before then! ^.^

    32x [32x] JohnSmith Technician's Remix

    For what it's worth, I know my personal variant of the pack is somewhat cobbled together, having followed the pack proper since before modding was especially prevalent. I updated to the newest variant a few days ago when I noticed this thread was moving again, but there are some things in it I...

    Request Suggest mods for creation here

    Aye, that works well enough as a kludge for the particles alone, but they're merely annoying to me and secondary to removing that blasted haste zoom. Still, thanks for the suggestion!

    Best Modpack for 1.6.4 with Galacticraft?

    Yup! Lapito's GalactiCraft Modpack is listed on the launcher if you're looking for something pre-built. I've never looked into it myself, but the option's there!

    Request Suggest mods for creation here

    Since I haven't had any luck digging this up on my own and it seems simple enough in concept, I would like to see a mod that disables potion aesthetic effects only. Remove the particles and haste zoom, but leave the actual effect of the potion intact. Several mods seem to make use of the...

    32x [32x] JohnSmith Technician's Remix

    Just to chime in, JSTR has been the only texture pack I've stuck with since I found out texture packs were a thing. Still use it to this day, though less and less of the pack proper gets used. Still, it covers such things as vanilla blocks quite well and that still makes up a majority of what...

    Resonant Induction - Has anyone been able to add this in?

    I know a friend of mine added it to his personal edited FTBLite2 along with Mekanism at the same time. I don't know what issues he may have run into however. Might be able to convince him to drop by the thread later or just have me dictate whatever he has to say on it, but he's a pretty busy...

    Future of GeoStrata and DyeTrees

    Well, it really just comes down to how hard it hits my computer really. I suspect it's the large number of entities that spawn in DyeForests that is the culprit for my framerate hits when I look in that direction. I'll use the mod if I can, but if my computer can't run it then it's out of my...
