    Advice on setting up a mod pack

    BasicComponents is gone. Long gone.

    In which ED has Less Metal Than Before When ED had More Metal than ED has Now

    That's a piece of content from MFR I don't know! Which block is that? I need to make it for my Lethamyr series.

    My Resonant Rise Let's Play (Resonant Rise Modpack)

    That said, there are tons of cool ideas being worked on in the ATLauncher world, which is much more about users making modpacks for users. I'm going to publish my Lethamyr modpack soon. I'm trying to get in touch with Vechs to see if I can republish a version that I've tweaked to support...

    GregTech Has Gone Too far

    This is getting better with recent versions. There is a new option we're still trying to figure out how to turn down the steam ratious. But you should probably turn the turbine scaling factor to 10.

    In which ED has Less Metal Than Before When ED had More Metal than ED has Now

    I just liked watching ED struggle with all his ore generation while I always had 4x the sum of CQ he had because I hand mined once a week. I confess, that was fun.

    So I was watching some of direwolf20's older videos..

    I am excited to have to work out an ender pearl strategy in my modded Lethamyr series. I'm going to have to build a special structure that lets me aggro them but still have an escape route from the more fearsome mobs that can spawn.

    yeah but it can do a LOT more things, even in vanilla IC2. The only thing that really bugs me about the laser is that it can automine certus quartz. I don't like making that resource easily accessible. I wish PowerCrystals let me disable that, but I can't.

    In which ED has Less Metal Than Before When ED had More Metal than ED has Now

    This depends. If you have base IC2 installed, then UU-matter is almost better than ars fabricators, it can be so good. If you have GT installed, then the mining laser wins. However, the mining laser doesn't really intersect directly, since the things it can produce are pretty limited compared to...

    My Resonant Rise Let's Play (Resonant Rise Modpack)

    Sadly, no. The FTB Launcher just doesn't give us the stuff we need to proceed. What's more, a lot of people have warned me that if you do more than bi-weekly updates the FTB Update process doesn't work well. Since we've pretty consistently done weekly updates (and sometimes more than that for...

    My Resonant Rise Let's Play (Resonant Rise Modpack)

    Modded Lethamyr 1 is up. I only have 2 longish Lethamyr episodes this week because on the RR front, the modpack goes public this week and that's taking up my extra time.

    In which ED has Less Metal Than Before When ED had More Metal than ED has Now

    I am like, honestly not sure if the Laser is too good. It eats a ton of power, and RR is better than most modpacks at providing power. But it's not THAT much power, and a good dedicated Railcraft boiler rig could easily meet demand.

    Sweet(ish) Random Mystcraft Age (DW20 1.4.7)

    That is awesome.

    Greg's done it again.

    How nice for you. Not sure I should think this is hyperbole... Coal, the engines, the tin, the copper, a thermionic fabricator, the soldering iron, the circuit board, and apatite, the redstone, the pipes, the liquid pipes, the water source, and the saplings while not dying and feeding...

    2planks <- wood. It's is a HUGE nerf on a lot of levels, both in modded and vanilla play.

    Is there a way to make a light or indicator that indicates...

    I'm curious why you'd need to monitor fertilizer levels? Put a few cows over an upgraded sewer and you're good.

    Is there a machine in FTB 1.5.2 with GT that farms trees?

    Forestry's farms are great for lots of things, but their Apatite constraint sucks. If Sengir removed this you'd see more people use them. Modulo this, I think the the forestry farms are actually less power per unit area (especially when upgraded). The actual setup cost is sorta immaterial (for...

    Massive ressource income?

    Except you're not asking how to get a lot of something, you're asking to how maximally game your rate. What's a bummer about this is that the answer is really just, "Run a bunch of autominers and it really doesn't matter what." But what you really asked for was, "Can you tell me how to do...

    Is there a machine in FTB 1.5.2 with GT that farms trees?

    The lilypads and sawmills that are what is so awesome there. It is not like the actual harvest speed is meaningful, really.

    Is there a machine in FTB 1.5.2 with GT that farms trees?

    No. He doesn't use turtles that often. Also, MFR tree farms are not "outrageously" good. Forestry farms are just weak by comparison. They are generally considered weak, though, so this should be no surprise.
