My 2c: It's not a wonderful idea to lay out one progression for your modpack, especially if you expect it to have server play potential. A lot of people like playing MC different ways, and you'd like to accomodate that. Try to have at least 3 or four possible ways to proceed at all points. The...

I am actually pretty turned off on GT because of this problem and the addition of a lot of machines who's sole current purpose seems to be to slow building down by virtue of machine timers. Circuit Assembler, I'm looking at you. Greg was on such a roll for awhile, but now it seems like he may...

No one disputes that the TE engine is less efficient in a long run. It's that if you keep turning them on and off the way a typical early-game workshop does then the TE engine has fixed efficiency and a fixed power output whereas the RC engine has lag. The RC engines also leak out power even...

Redpower 2 has a toggle cell that uses the vanilla lever on top of a some redstone logic. Might be what you need. Or, you know, put a redstone lamp next to the lever. :)

Yeah I agree with you that it sucks that mid-tier is just "a lot more low tier." Sadly, this seems very much by-design in IC2 and GT. It's bizarre to me that Thermal generators are like, the best generators despite everyone in the world having ways to slurp lava from the nether. It's almost like...

Yes, actually, although it's much less power-positive than I think you'd like. The only way anyone can get mad at you about this is if they have also banned quarries. Here's what you can do: Find a big, flat, solid plane of nettherack in the nether. Position a max-size quarry here slightly...

No one renders their ores into the blocks, so you go digging through these interesting blocks and then suddenly neutral grey pops up. This is what I meant by ugly mining. The otherwise really cool theme gets broken. There exists no mechanism to do this, either. It's a problem with pretty much no...

Sssh. We're not supposed to talk about mods here anymore or the thread my vanish without warning! You're supposed to go to the mod discussion forum that 90% of the forum population ignores, or send a PM.

Indeed. A common trick is to use wireless redstone in conjunction with logic gates to send a signal to your engines to turn off when the redstone energy cells are not full. There are several power settings that gates can detect, so you can tune them to how your engines perform if you're not...

It'd be really nice if when a tank fails to form the tank could give some indication of which check it made failed. Like maybe it could trace itself trying to form the tank with that same sci-fi pattern on the walls which would blink red when it fails to form.

Yeah I know people love it for building, but the actual net result is that it makes mining so ugly. :( Seems counter-productive to its original purpose. It also breaks Forestry (apatite spawn gets even weirder than usual), causes Ars Magica to get confused sometimes, and confuses Biomes o Plenty.

Actually, you can! See, the author evidently realized this could happen and what he did was make it so that new worlds set the default level-type in your server.properties to a special type to get Biomes O Plenty. You can install both mods and they do, in fact, work. Meaning that people using...

Fancy! I can't wait! I've made the jump to 1.5.1 almost entirely because I cannot wait to play with the new stuff you've been making. Muse. Modular Powersuits and Tinker's Construct are that exciting to me. I am going without steam here like I just don't care. And hopefully soon a build that...

Optifine works fine. I actually think ExtraBiomesXL is just broken right now for this modpack, so maybe my decision was made for me.

So if I get permissions I will. And I have a server pack (obviously). And I'll make the modlist and configs available so you can just plug-and-play with all the tedious work done. Quick opinion poll, I guess. Natura seems like a really great mod and I'd love to use more mDiyo's work. But it...

Game, set, and match.I'm not sure why you'd want to automate this, though. It's really only useful in two ways: Doubling the ores of your first hour of mining so you can make a pulverizer and an engine to power it. Proving a point about where ore doubling sits in the balance of things. I feel...

Ugh. Thats a big task... Probably not worth it. You'd need to fnd the block and item ids for everything in your world, match them to corresponding ids in the FTB world, then edit the map without loading it (because not all IDs would be valid, and loaded invalid items are destroyed). THEN you...

I'm told this is the place to post about this. This is a thread where I post my Resonant Rise Let's Play content. Way back in the day I started the prototype for the RR modpack here, when it was just a modpack for FTBers that was more updated. Eventually it's grown into a modpack growing by...

Untrue. These days Tekkit has better technology and their packs are more up-to-date. They also are a heck of a lot more responsive to mod authors, to hear some folks tell the story. The only thing we got over them is that our demagogues are more sane and better at Minecraft than their demagogues.
