    I love ICBM but I hate Ampz!

    You need solid walls of depth 3 to stop someone from teleporting. Especially with Xeno's Reliquary installed, but even just throwing an ender pearl works.

    Dense ores, right...

    Was this a bug w/ mystcraft generation that was fixed a long time ago? Vanilla supposedly never overwrites anything but block ID 1 with ores. And can't mods plug into Mystcraft now to make sure they're included in dense ores (and in 1.5.1 w/ newforge, the placable liquids?)

    What do you consider cheating?

    Can you even call it FTB with it? Seriously, is DW20's modpack "Feed the Beast?" FTB is a community and a launcher.

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    Your GUI is better. Just sayin'. Everyone who sees it says so. You should publish your keybind system as an API. The only bad thing you could possibly say about it is that it's awkward for more than two dozen keybinds or so.

    I love ICBM but I hate Ampz!

    Also: missiles are just not that dangerous. It's really easy to set up immunity to missiles for very large areas. So like... does it matter? Just look at the fun folks are having playing Voltz at Yogz. If everyone on the server is in on the fun, then it's fine. In general minecraft PvP does't...

    How do you handle 'that' feeling?

    Biking is fun. Ping Pong isn't half bad either. Arduino hacking: also a good way to pass the time. Been trying for a kid lately... erhem. Nevermind on that last one... For me the best part of Modded Minecraft is that you can fundamentally change the game by swirling a few mods around. The core...

    Old Adeptcraft - A collection of memories

    Are exclusive servers like AdeptCraft like... a thing? Should I be trying to do that with RR and AdvancingCraft? Is that how Legends Are Born™?

    Any Alternative to Soul Shard mod for bone farming?

    All these mods when a dark room with conveyors (MFR or water) will do.

    Help generating power

    You bootstrap the process with lava, yes. But it's not "late game" because centrifuges are "early game" for gregtech. You build them shortly after your (hater) wire mills and circuit assembler. They're earlier than electrolyzers because they're LV.

    Help generating power

    You should research this. The trick is to breed better fuel with Throium then use plutonium.

    Help generating power

    With Gregtech, they're actually pretty good. But they do require very good automation skills to get the most out of. Boilers are much easier for the power payout. It's too bad we don't use Atomic Science. Their nuclear reactors have huge payouts for even short runs and don't require an...

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    I think the issue was networking based; asymmetric networking connectivity issues are a pain in my world too! Probably the way it went down was that he hit the button and the response during a network glitch and then both got delivered very quickly without an actual error condition being...

    Help generating power

    Steam Boilers and Power Converters. Pick a fuel you can produce and go to town. I recommend Minefactory reloaded tree farms (just 1 tree per cycle will do) feeding sawmills that feed solid fuel boilers. Poppycocks has told me that 3 sawmills per boiler is usually sufficient. Make sure to clean...

    biomes o plenty vs extrabiomes xl

    Don't you need to change the world gen mode from default to BIOMESOP? And when you do that, doesn't it STOP generating EBXL? And even if it doesn't, the only thing I can think of that you're losing is an easier source of saltpeter from Gregtech. Why would you ever want both? BoP installs...

    The Twilight Zone: Debatable

    This is not a very fun joke.

    ID Conflict Help

    Oh no, this is normal. What's happening here is that MFR is taking over these blocks so that it can improve them (glass panes can link with stained glass panes, ice can be made with a melting flag). It shouldn't happen again. In general you don't need to worry about those messages when there...

    Early AE?

    Capacitors failing can be spectacular.

    Suggest Mods for FTB Here

    I'd like to re-submit Metallurgy for consideration now that it's about to go 1.5-ready. Metallurgy is not unbalanced and can be a real boon to modpack maintainers because it can take over ALL ore generation and have that handled in a consistent way, sort of like what TE is doing right now but on...

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    Btw, MachineMuses. Ars Magica support could probably enter your TODO list now that Direwolf20 has blessed it (or did you update it). He is the kingmaker, etc. The idea of supplementing my suit's power with my mana (at a good conversion ratio) and then supplementing my mana with my suit's battery...

    I love ICBM but I hate Ampz!

    In all fairness, it can be a really fun mod.
