    What are your gripes about the start of Modded Minecraft?

    I think Tinker's Construct adds a drying rack that can be used to turn rotten flesh into leather, right? It's not quick, but it's cheap and a nice use for an otherwise pointless item (flesh).

    What are your gripes about the start of Modded Minecraft?

    Honestly, not nearly as much bothers me about the startup as it used to. I use Tinker's Construct for some early game fun, Applied Energistic's Quartz Grindstone to get immediate ore doubling, and then jump right into Thermal Expansion with a Pulverizer and some Stirling Engines to power it. I...

    Why no new launcher.

    It's just having issues right now. Should sort itself out in a few hours most likely. Horizons looks awesome! I can't wait for the new Ultimate/Unleashed, but this will definitely tide me over til then. So many news mods to play with... Also, any word on another pack like Ultra Hard Survival...

    Random Haybale Man

    It's a Wickerman!(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wickerman) Also, while everyone knows how hilarious the Nicholas Cage remake was(), the original '73 movie was actually pretty damn good. I recommend watching it sometime.

    The rebirth of IC2 ?

    To be fair to IC2, they have at least updated the textures. I'm still not as fond of their style as compared to, say, Thermal Expansion, but it's definitely progress there. As for the changes...part of the reason I stopped using IC2 as much was the tedium of crafting in it. Making circuits for...

    The 2nd Minecraft (modded) Player Survey with public results!

    Here's the reddit thread to the last one, for anyone who was curious. It's interesting especially to see how the favorite mods have changed.

    Why no new launcher.

    Communication is important, but I can definitely understand the devs being hesitant to say anything solid. People tend to hold to estimates as absolutes, and there's a lot that can come up to delay anything, much less something like trying to get several dozen mods to update and be bugfree...

    Those Things That Make You Smile In Minecraft

    Oh my god, Labyrinth deaths make me raaage. I've lost my items in there more times than I can count...and it's always my fault. I just can't help exploring them, and I don't know why. You'd find me hilarious.

    The 2nd Minecraft (modded) Player Survey with public results!

    I'm on mobile (Android, if it matters), and it doesn't seem like the form recognizes I gave an answer to the question about the 1.6 update, no matter what I choose. I tried it in Browser, Firefox, and Drive just to check.

    Those Things That Make You Smile In Minecraft

    That moment when you finally get your sorting/processing system totally automated, and toss in your first mining haul. It's so nice to not have to deal with chests again. Your first jetpack. That final Tinker's Construct Tool. When you get AE up and running on a new world.

    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    Any word on the AM2 issues (meteors, mobs, and worldgen) being fixed? I had a great time with AM1, but I had a separate world for it since I heard it had issues. It's a very fun mod, but I hope those bits get changed some. They did just finish AM2 not so long ago, so I'm guessing they'll be in...

    What are your future goals in FTB for fun projects?

    We've all had those crazy ideas that seem like they'd be awesome: giant frame machines, ComputerCraft controlled bases, golem-only sorting system. What are some of your intended future projects that seem like they'd be really fun or look awesome when set up? Here's mine: Obviously, those 3...

    How do you decide the progression of your base?

    I typically do things similar to rhn: tiny temporary base until a jetpack, then search for a build place, and design it around my existing machines/workflow. As for tech progression, I start with TiCo. It's really made the early game a lot more fun to me. I usually get a quartz grindstone up as...

    Question about bows

    Actually, fusewood bows appear to do something different: https://github.com/mDiyo/Natura/blob/master/mods/natura/items/tools/FusewoodBow.java Not sure what exactly though. Overall, I think TiC bows are best, if you're willing to spend a bit of time setting them up.

    Figured I'd drop in...

    Good luck man. From the sound of it, you had this revelation while there's still time to salvage the situation. I hope it all turns out alright for you. Our community will miss you and TE, but I'm glad you're focusing on what you find truly important. It's always better to quit before you burn...

    Need or Have Ideas? ->Check here<-

    A world of your own: Completely terraform a Dimensional Doors pocket dimension or Mystcraft void age into a custom biome of your choosing. Not just a single building (unless you're making an arcology...), but a whole landscape too. Liquid madness: Similar to the storage block challenge (which...

    So rumors are GregT is now an IC2 dev

    Honestly, for all the issues I have with Greg (I was rather vocal in the...debate before, and it's why I joined), he *is* a good coder, especially when it comes to bugfixing. IC2 has stagnated, and some general cleanup would be a good place to get it moving again. As others have said, if he's...

    Some questions about Dimensional Doors

    I believe it was a world killing corruption glitch, which is why I was so worried. However, it's been a while since I heard anything about it, so I was hoping it was fixed. Still, since I was mostly planning on using a pocket dimension as machine storage (thinking about using a mobile base on an...

    Suggestion: Add ComputerCraft to Unhinged

    Greg vetoed ComputerCraft since he finds Turtles OP, as I recall. Again, the lack of mods in Unhinged can largely be blamed on Greg.

    Some questions about Dimensional Doors

    So I'm considering adding Dimensional Doors to my Unleashed world, and I have a few questions about it. 1) Are there still issues with Thermal Expansion and DD? I remember hearing Bad Things would happen when tesseracts were placed in a DD dimension, has that been fixed? 2) How difficult is...
