Awesome, thanks! I thought no-one would really be interested lol Things might be a little quiet right now because I've got MATLAB programming assignments out the wazoo, but I've barely scratched the surface of the projects I've got planned. In the whole scheme of things I reckon this whole map...

Yep for sure, maybe some concrete or bricks would be nice for some accents. At least for framework anyway, just because if there's a fire then nobody wants their whole factory burning down.

Yeah just for aesthetics, Ferrari actually do it for their factory to provide the right humidity levels for building their engines. The real thing actually looks pretty awesome:

Thanks! Yeah it's all legit, you need steel to make those tools but I had found some steel armor in a dungeon and smelted them down into the ingots I needed. Gonna get a proper blast furnace set up once the factory is built. I've got a basic machine setup (macerator, furnace, plate bender...

Pretty much exactly that lol Progress might be pretty slow over the next few weeks because I've got big engineering assignments and exams due, but the factory building has started and I'm just working on a good design:

It is kinda ancient, I don't know what I love so much about it but it's still really fun, you miss out on Tinker's Construct and OpenBlocks etc. but then get the old fun things like one-hit bonemeal, enchantable power tools and gravity guns that allow you to easily carry around spawners :D But...

True. I had a Factorization solar array in my old world and I'm planning on building a new one, they're really good. Although just looking at the wiki now, I never knew you could use them to power Railcraft steam engines.....and you can stack the arrays? All of a sudden I have a new project to...

Both, literally it's the ultimate Ultimate :p I forgot to mention what version the game is, so I'll add it.

You know what'd be really cool, I just remembered about this and this'd be totally out of place in the FSP mod, but imagine having a supercritical solar power plant in Feed The Beast: See this is the thing that I reckon FTB modpacks are really lacking in is these kind of awesome-looking power...

Steam powered vertical transport would be pretty cool, a piston-driven lift would make an interesting multi-block addition that requires more steam input when the lift goes further vertically.

A mechanical engineer's Feed The Beast Ultimate 1.4.7 adventures... The plan: Mastery of biofuel factory design and production, the main factory surrounded by a base with plenty of steampunk design and inspiration whilst keeping things user-friendly and efficient. The (general) rules: No...

Thanks, I made a mining laser so I'm gonna be making a lot more progress now. Might post up some more stuff later. EDIT: About 2 hours later... Finished blowing stuff up with the mining laser, I just gotta clean up the rest of the aftermath to get a nice level valley area to build stuff on.

The base on the new map is turning out much better than I expected, managed to get a good house design going. It's still in the cobblestone mock-up stage but I'm happy with the layout, the lower level contains the machine shop and the upper level is the living quarters. I've already got solid...

Well I'm not necessarily aiming for 100% efficiency because the perfect setup takes up too much space. That setup you're showing would work great, the difference is that I'm just cramming more mills into a tighter space to get things more compact, but at the same time keep efficiency as high as...

What do you guys run in terms of water mills? I don't know if it's just me, but personally I get a kick out of designing the best bang-for-your-buck water mill tower setup. This is the Tower Of Power setup I just finished for my current FTB Ultimate world, I could probably eek a bit more...

You'd think so hey but I checked all the IC2/Forestry/GregTech configs and apparently there's no option. I actually did use the MFR leaf shearing thing in my old world so it does work great, I'll probably just ramp up my power supply and have one of those running whenever I need dirt.

I did enjoy vanilla back in the day (started 1.2.5 and played it a lot until about 1.7.2), but I'm one of the players whose interest in vanilla got killed by Feed The Beast. It's weird because I used to think that I played games because I'm a gamer, but turns out that it's not really the case, I...

Playing it with GregTech, I just changed the config files to bring back the easier IC2 recipes and revert some of the silly nerfs that GregTech became famous for. In fact even then there's nerfed recipes that I can't revert, without GT you could macerate a plantball into eight dirt, but he...

Yeah I like Tinker's Construct, that and mods like OpenBlocks and Random Things. I guess why Ultimate is still fun is because it's older and has the nostalgia factor, but it's still new enough to be good.

I decided to start a brand new FTB Ultimate world, I thought I was done with the old 1.4.7 Ultimate modpack but turns out it's even nowadays the only one that I really enjoy playing. This is about 3 days worth of progress, but I only do about 2-3 hours of gaming a day: Spawn with Tower Of Power...
