    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    If you can plant it, MFR can grow it. And, if you can't grow it, powercrystals will fix it within an update or two. In fact, Magical Crops has magic fertilizer that the mod author can't get to work manually. It works in MFR farms.

    PvP: Fighting against Quantum Armour in FTB

    First, if you can get a maxed MPS, it makes you almost completely invincible to everything except a few types of spells from Ars Magica. Once his damage is neutralized, use your rapier with maxed quartz modifiers to remove his will to live.

    The new EE3 aludel

    He's Pessimist Peggle, but Downer Dan works too, I guess.

    Unable to light a Nether Portal?

    Quoting myself for emphasis. Do this, and fix your worlds.

    Unable to light a Nether Portal?

    go into Railcraft config, set block.hidden=0. It's the new Trackman's Aura block and it kills quite a few multiblock structures including the Nether Portal and TConstruct Smelteries.

    Any way to get large amounts of Amber?

    For any vanilla resource, not even bees can possibly compete with Magical Crops. Magical Crops are also compatible with MFR, so infinite emeralds, diamonds, vanilla ores, ender pearls, blaze rods, etc, are only an MFR farm away. You do have to mine your first bits of essence to make your first...

    Is GregTech just going to keep getting harder?

    Wow, hate much? The truth is that plenty of people like Gregtech and the direction it's going. The truth is that plenty of people don't like Gregtech and the direction it's going. Greg will likely keep nerfing things and adding upgraded versions of the things he nerfs. No one needs Gregtech...

    Quarry vs. hand digging

    Lapis and iron are my bottlenecks. Even with Magical Crops, I never seem to have enough. My first few trips to the nether are exclusively trips for colbalt, ardite and nether lapis.

    Quarry vs. hand digging

    Sweet hell, man. I must actually play some Twilight Forest now.

    Is this cave normal?

    Now you must turn it into your evil lair.

    [Help] Do not know how to continue FTB Ultimate

    He's saying Avatar is awesome for helping you over Skype instead of doing something stupid like saying, "LOL, n00b, lrn2ic2!!1!" He's right, too. This is the most helpful and pleasant forum I've ever been on. Unless someone mentions the mod-which-shall-not-be-named, in which case all bets are off.

    Quarry vs. hand digging

    Torches on the right. When you want to go home, just turn around and follow the path that keeps the torches on your left. It's nearly impossible to get lost that way.

    AE has got me thinking...

    This definition completely backs whizz's point. Good job.

    I think that's the wrong website.... *exits stage right*

    Remember that boring old nether?

    Definitely agree on the Certus Quartz. I actually restarted a world because I couldn't find enough Quartz to even get my ME network started. My wife hates when I find portal guns in dungeons. My excessive laughing can be annoying at times. With a portal gun, you will never be lost again. I...

    Remember that boring old nether?

    Another thing I forgot to mention is mining in the Nether and having your ore vein explode and open up a pocket of lava that covers you and kills you before you have a chance to get out. The element of FUN! involved is pretty high, but totally worth it.

    Remember that boring old nether?

    I used two default quarries and got enough netherrack to fuel my magmatic engines until the heat death of the universe. But I keep making them because the rate of return from the Nether Ores mod is so insane that it's almost pointless to make overworld quarries anymore. Considering one nether...

    Remember that boring old nether?

    The sulfur clouds can be harvested and turned into sulfur dust which can be used to make gunpowder. The ash clouds can be turned into coal in a similar way. Nothing about Natura is useless or pure fluff.

    I like FTB, but there's just 1 problem with it.

    Dude, my current goal is to use some unholy combination of item tesseracts, AE, enderchests, BC fillers, Railcraft track network, and Steve's Carts to build a large pyramid of Octuple Compressed Cobblestone. All powered by steam boilers fed from MFR tree farms using the wood for charcoal to keep...

    I like FTB, but there's just 1 problem with it.

    My brother plays vanilla. I was showing him a set-up using an enderchest/quarry to get items into the overworld while working on my bees. He saw that the amount of items I was moving was equivalent to two full inventories. He asked why I didn't just physically move the stuff, two trips back and...
