    Ftb Server (Whitelisted) Coming Soon (If Help)

    Then you do not get a server. End of story. Good servers cost between $11-$80 a month depending on the performance and configurability and control you get. They are not free, and you've given no one any motivation to sponsor you.

    Will you bother with Ultimate?

    I've thought about taking this into my own hands, since almost everything I want is fair game for private modpacks and my server is and always will be private. I'm even maintaining a slightly ahead-of-branch FTB 5.1.1 (we demand thaumic bees, mps upgrades, and a TE that doesn't drop items) in...

    Best armor list?

    That thing where you're obligated to be a fanboy and raise the looming spectre of mmMPS for Mindcrack. Happening right here.

    Will you bother with Ultimate?

    I am pretty sure I am already playing ultimate in my letsplay test/warmup world. I have a pretty good guess what's going to be there (and I am pretty sure I am adding AE). I dunno if I have the fortitude to actually release a letsplay tho. :(

    Forestry 2.0-why?

    They still seem incredibly powerful to me. And making them multi-block structures actually made them easier to automate. SC2 requires less initial resource investment, but I think the forestry blocks actually make better use of space with the larger farms.

    Is anyone using Steve's Carts 2 for automatic mining?

    The next version will have not only this, but the ability to automat the process. A cart can dive itself back in, switch to a derailer, then redeploy, and on the return trip it can wait in a holding bay. VSWE has demo'd it on his channel recently.

    I'll go breaking bookcases. I know about the lecterns; never seen one.

    Yogscast on FTB

    And his code to do that is amusingly easy to foil. You can do it without even altering the code to the technic launcher if you know what you're doing.

    What makes it difficult to abuse is how insanely rare Mystcraft pages are now. I've scanned a 10 km square block, found 20 villages. Not a single page or trading villager.

    Forestry 2.0-why?

    The way you keep up with production is by using wheat and squeezing apples. The by product of squeezing apples is juice and mulch. Just make sure that your system doesn't back up on juice. You could use apple juice in your fermenter for truly epic output, but I've never seen a tree farm big...

    Is anyone using Steve's Carts 2 for automatic mining?

    So you basically drop a single rail and let slip the carts of war in a specific direction, then harvest? And that's much faster than doing it by hand?

    Chunk Display

    The next version of NEI will actually render lines for the world chunks. You can see Direwolf20 using it in his SMP series to make his new workshop. It's pretty cool how they made the entire thing fit in 2 loaded chunks and made the entire structure aligned on chunk boundaries.

    MindCrack Exchange Equivalent Compatability?

    tr 'ABC' 'XYZ' and I bet they can still finish it and even say it pertains to triangles. The Pythagorean theorem is beyond famous; it's ubiquitous and ingrained.

    MindCrack Exchange Equivalent Compatability?

    I bet you if you walk up to a stranger and say, "A^2 + B^2" they will complete your sentence upon prompting. Say, "mc^2 = " and I bet your hit rate will be slower. It's not the 1980s anymore, Einstein's celebrity is sadly waning.

    MindCrack Exchange Equivalent Compatability?

    On the gravity suit: it is not OP by any stretch of the imagination. Even sans-gregtech it's a massive pain to make and obnoxious to maintain its power. Most people need never even make one; it's actually very specialized in use. Right. EE2 was never a fair design for a mixed mod game. That's...

    Applied Energistics

    Is that file usable as a configuration file? I mean: is it in the java properties format with correct names for the mod? I know forge generally handles that part so... I am hoping.

    Most efficient way of turning lava into useful energy?

    Protip for this system since you're not resource gated: The most efficient way to tap MJ out of this system is to have magmatics feeding an array of redstone energy cells (or an array of MFEs for IC2 power) and use whatever logic is available to cease power generation when the system is full...

    Applied Energistics

    You almost are. My advice is to check the ranges of other mods. FTB doesn't share their map, but they reserve open ranges for future adds. Future-proof your config by putting yourself WAY out ahead of that range. And then please share it with me because I'm thinking of starting a supertech...

    MindCrack Exchange Equivalent Compatability?

    Anyone with a primary education in the western world has heard of the pythagorean theorem, and people in underdeveloped countries learn it because it's so crazy-useful. I learned it in third/fourth grade. You cannot even understand that "e = mc^2" is an equation until you understand what...

    Applied Energistics

    You probably want to check the configs for applied energistics and figure out the block ids. The way FTB preserves forwards compatibility is by assigning every entity in each mod a unique ID from a mod-specific range. Most Forge-compatible mods allow for this, but it's not an automated or fun...
