    Good Starter Power Sources (Ultimate)

    <.< >.> I use peat and peat engines. They use mostly copper, peat is dirt cheap to make. I use a turtle to make the bog earth and a turtle with a shovel (1 diamond) to collect and re-place it. Only catch was I needed to use silk touch on a block of bog earth that had become ready to collect...

    Alternative to wireless redstone or Redpower?

    I was using turtles with wireless network stuff. Yay modems. :)

    Sandstone Block..? [Optifine installed]

    Might try the "WAILA" mod ... short for What am I looking at. You can play with the key config to turn it on or off but when it's on and you're looking at a block - it tells you what that block is.

    Resonant Rise

    Wow ... I was doing a forum search before posting an idea about pumping lava from the nether by putting the pump even with the top layer of lava and just pumping out all the lava below the top layer. I figured it might work without lag but would try it tonight to see how it fared. Now I see that...

    What Do You Guys Think About Cheating?

    For me, I like to play legitimately without any spawned in stuff. I do occasionally go to a dimension door space, cheat in machines, power sources, etc to test a build I'm planning, then when done I make sure my inventory doesn't contain anything cheated and go back to the real world and do my...

    I have commitment issues

    You know what I did last night because I couldn't find what I was looking for? (A desert, not dunes, not a beach, I wanted desert but didn't find one) I built my place in a dimension door space and made a three block high one (starting at floor) and one block wide glass window. I then...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Sigh, I didn't want to do it but I guess I'll be playing modded minecraft from vmware now. It will be slower but safer. It's funny, I didn't even think about this until tonight when I was greeted with a wall of text from a mod author angry with another mod author. It was a simple abuse of the...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    What prevents a mod author from making a back door, a piece of code that scans a hard drive and sends them tax return information, etc?

    Ultimate 1.5.2 ... Greg vs mDiyo

    I don't know how to do spoiler tags so I probably screwed this up. Sorry in advance, I'm not HTML savvy. -ps Cool, I had to go over to post one of the no-topic-thread to figure out how to do a spoiler tag. :) Proud!!!

    Ultimate 1.5.2 ... Greg vs mDiyo

    There's a message that just popped up with the most recent update. That update may only be the addition of this. Exploit Warning: Tinkers Construct adds Functionality, which causes many Blocks to duplicate drops, when being hit by a tool ........ And so on I believe it's in response to a...

    1.6 pre-release FYI

    What I was amazed with was the loading time. Click Play. wait wait wait (five or less seconds later) BAM, can click on single player or multiplayer or quit... That's amazingly fast for what I have to wait with modded FTB and such. I wonder if it will be like that when I've got 100+ mods to load...

    Sawmill in 1.5.2 (this was a bug, Mod author knows)

    Sorry King Lemming!!! I didn't realize it was a bug. I thought it was a balance thing. To me a bug is usually something that crashes the game or makes something not work. This didn't do either of those, just changed output values. I figured since it worked fine, that this was the new norm. My error.

    Sawmill in 1.5.2 (this was a bug, Mod author knows)

    GregTech sawmill still makes 6 planks 1 sawdust and your container (bucket or cell ... Or I suppose you could just supply it with a pipe of water) Cost 6400 eu though ... So I think that's probably even more negative on energy production ... unless you have a free source of EU like solar or...

    Sawmill in 1.5.2 (this was a bug, Mod author knows)

    I've been aggressively updating my 1.5.2 ultimate client with all the mods I like and I was wondering why my boiler system wasn't working very well any more. I was running negative on my planks production and finally took a sawmill off to the side and put in an oak log. Got 4 planks and 1...

    Filler Issue. Any help?

    If there is water or void (empty space / air) you should put dirt or stone or some other material for the filler to 'flatten' out the area. That's probably why the red is coming up. Also, it may just have issue with water/liquid. You may need to fill in the water first before it will cooperate.

    Above ground or below?

    Dimensional Door Void Space. :)

    What is your favorite mod?

    Right now it's dimension doors... 1. Essentially a void age without all the hassle of Mystcraft page collecting. 2. Keep inventory on death 3. Normally nothing spawns in a Dimension Door Age (have seen slime and those annoying monoliths-but more on that in a second) 4. Resources like stone...

    Removing Modpacks

    The packs are in the same folder the FTB Launcher is in. So whatever Icon you're clicking to play FTB, right click it, go to the properties tab at the bottom of the list and click that. It should tell you where the directory is where the launcher is. Unless you're using a Mac, then you've just...
