64 CPUs?! That's completely overkill. With 4 or 5 CPUs, you get one crafting operation per tick, or 20 per second. On a server I played on, we had an entire sealevel to buildlimit 4 chunk tower of automation, and we only used a few CPUs with no issue. 64 CPUs is nowhere near normal usage, so...

Seems like the disabling of autosmelt and fortune was a mistake, since they changed the config for it last update. See the last spoiler, config changes. http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/changelog-for-ftb-unleashed-modpack.27602/

I get this without Gregtech involved, so I don't think he's to blame this time.

Without. I liked the additional gameplay it added to IC2, and how it made high tier items harder to get. I hate that he decided to nerf vanilla, because I find that easily the most tedious part of the game. Tinker's Construct has made it a bit more interesting at least, but Greg just makes it...

Unleashed. I preferred wgt for 1.5, but the latest nerfs towards Vanilla just turned me off of Gregtech altogether. Yes, "there's a config for everything!" but if I wanted to edit text configs instead of playing Minecraft, I'd be instaling Arch Linux rather than loading up Feed the Beast.

Ahh, I get you now mushroom. It does seem weird he didn't add a flamestring bowstring though too. I did some more arrow testing too. Still seems like plain feather fletching is the best if you have feathers to spare. Weight differences are negligible, and I didn't bother checking the accuracy...

The scythe basically seems made for this. I think a blaze mod or two would be well placed. I don't have anything super interesting on hand, but I can say that Beheading stacks on Cleavers. Granted, with a tiny amount of quartz, they'll generally 1 shot most things, but this way gets heads...

Thank you for investigating this! For rods, the lightest I noticed was Green Slime, but that's hard to come by, so I think Cactus is probably the best then for extra damage. As I recall, paper rods lower accuracy the most. You're actually better off not really using metal tips I think, since...

While mahna mahna has higher durability, I actually prefer cobalt for the mining speed since I put moss on everything. I find 1 is enough for all my needs. Fortunately, I actually like the look of it too, since I know that's an issue for some people. Also, I think mDiyo needs to add another...

As others said, paper actually seems to be the best. It greatly decreases pullback time, and unfortunately arrow speed (which results in less distance). Also note that you can make an Enchanted Bowstring from Thaumcraft's Enchanted Fabric, which decreases pullback/speed and adds an extra...

Sorry for the 2 week old necro, but I had some stuff to add about bows. Copied from my thread asking questions about TC: So I played around with shortbows a bit in creative. It seems like higher durability = worse draw speed and better arrow speed. I also noticed you can make an enchanted...

What exactly affects the different draw speed and arrow speed on shortbows? Does anyone have any recommendations for what to use? So far, the cactus one I made seems like the best. I think I read somewhere that the addon ability of cactus was changed from a flat bonus to being based on...

Other people have already mentioned the overactive generation, quartz crystals destroying items (my first turtle included :(), and how much storage space it eats. However, another issue I have with it is that I just find it...ugly. It really doesn't seem to fit in with the aesthetic of any other...

Also, Extra Trees and Extra Bees have been rolled into BinnieCore now. :)

I haven't tried the new autocrafting table in Buildcraft, but most others don't work, including AE last I checked. It's because the Alkahest is the crafting product, and redstone/lapis is a side product that seems to be picky about which inventories it will actually show up in.

Actually, Tinker's Construct is the only mod I can think of that includes in game help. You should have a "Materials and You" book in your inventory when you start that explains things. When you craft any of the tables, you get another book, and yet another when you craft seared brick. It's a...

As someone who had asked from GT to be removed, I hadn't even considered the issue that it would retroactively affect servers running Ultimate or 1.5wgt. That's an excellent point to consider, and one I hadn't seen mentioned at all in this discussion. You've changed my opinion with that...

I actually hope that gets in FTB either way. It's a great implementation from what I've seen that actually does some stuff frames don't, and jakj has been pretty open about the whole thing. He even added in some user edited textures to have 16x16 support.

Thanks for clarifying, and sorry for spreading false info unintentionally. I stand corrected. Edit: And by the way, I didn't mean to disparage your input and work on the pack. I kinda see how it comes off that way now. I mostly meant it as "The reason there are so few mods in Unhinged is...

ModularPowerSuits can run off of MJ with an MJ charging block KingLemming added to TE at her request, but I can't remember the name of it unfortunately. I think I'm going to try to go IC2less as well.
