    Above ground or below?

    Originally it was just caves, after that I found Etho and his honeycomb setup so I was like screw my caves, void age honeycomb labs for me. Set that up on seperate games. It was great cause the center of it was an amazing barrel sorting room. After I got bored of the void age honeycombs I took...

    Mining well nerfs.....

    Probably true, but the main reason is that mining wells are leagues easier to automate the moving off.

    What is this block

    Looks like a bee hive.

    Mining well nerfs.....

    Frankly if all they changed was the power draw, this does nothing. If you want automated ores, and have the ability to move it, it's still broken. Now the requirement to make it do so is just steeper. Hardly dead.

    Tinkers Construct good starting tools

    Indeed you do, that's why I recommend rushing the ball of moss for it. Use it for valuables your other picks cant repair and you'll be golden. Though I do believe obsidian can mine obsidian so there is that. Also if I remember correctly the slime binding increases durability which would be...

    What does YOUR Power Room look like?

    Getting started with biomass/biofuel is incredibly easy to do. Not as simple as lava mind you, but still really easy. Get a tree farm of your choice going, I prefer MFR but Steves carts still does the trick just fine as will forestry. Put the logs into the sawmills from TE to maximize the out...

    Tinkers Construct good starting tools

    It vastly depends what you have available. Frankly just making stone tools with it would stop you from replacing them constantly early on. However if you get *really* lucky like I did in my SP world and find an obsidian pick axe head, That thing will mine anything in the overworld almost, and...

    Thoughts on MFR

    Has anyone done math on how the bioreactor compares to other biofuel sources? Such as compressed plants? I'm trying to decide how to fuel my base on my next map but I don't want to be inefficient.

    [1.5 and up]StellarCraft- Most of the FTB Mods (AND TE3!) on 1.6.4/1.5.2!

    Okay so I went in, changed the key, went in, didn't work. So eventually I figured, screw it, the waypoint key works, bind the waypoint key to the one that doesnt work, and bind menu. THAT didn't work and the waypoint key is still bound to what it was, What? EDIT: Well apparently it is now, I'm...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Okay having taken a few months break from ftb, Started up with the beta 1.5 packs, What I'm curious about is with frames missing in action, what is the best way to amass ores?

    Frame Quarry Basics

    Do believe in the latest forgecraft video cpw (I think thats who does bc) said they wouldnt be nerfing mining wells. Might actually make it so they work on frames. (And dear god is that glorious in an overpowered but I so want to abuse it kinda way. Be back in 15 after I change my pants.)

    Most Powerful energy source there is?

    How do you go about automating this?

    Most Powerful energy source there is?

    Thank you so much, I really appreciate the detailed explanation. The hardest part looks to be crafting the components. Which my AE setup can do for me. Hmm... One question, you reference energy tesseracts, I wasn't aware you could use those for eu?

    Most Powerful energy source there is?

    Got any examples? Cause I'd love to try this out.

    Mods decided to make it impossible to make solar power!!!!

    Any chance you've got a link to a tutorial or something? I've never messed with nuclear and if gregtech changes it at all that'd be good to know. (Im fairly sure it adds new types of fuel for them or something?)

    The Final Word on Steam Boiler Efficiency

    Why? The argument only makes sense in the case that it isn't entirely feasible to just stock up then infinite sustain your way through a 36hp boiler. (even states as such) The fact we can have infinite amounts of charcoal or biofuel makes it so overpowered its ridiculous, especially with power...

    Ultimate Pack

    Is any one having issues with keys sticking if you pull open the big map? Like if you press a movement key and open the map at the same time, you keep moving until you hit the key again. Unsure how to fix.

    Applied Energistics

    Adding on to this, while late game it may feel over powered, you really arn't going to be able to touch the bulk of the powerful features until you have a tunnelbore going getting you quartz, cause the autocrafting and high end storage cells will blow through your quartz supply FAST. I think a...

    XyCraft update in Direwolf20 modpack?

    Probably whenever they decide to update next will get it. FTB is usually pretty quick on the updates as long as they arn't beta updates. Also I believe mondays are update days, So I wouldn't be surprised if it updated then.
