    The Future of Microblocks

    (Why did I make that really over dramatic? And also, why am I getting BSODs from trying to change this font size?) Not to be aggresive here, but try to build something with tinyblocks that's decently large. Like a house. Tinyblocks are impossible to build with without having a mental...

    The Amazing Ideas Thread? (Can I do this? :p)

    Multiblock engines. Not like the boring steam-producing multiblocks, something fun. Like a nuclear engine, that generates MJ and has to be built using uranium blocks, bronze blocks, and reinforced stone, with an interface like the nuclear reactor. Also, the engines should look like BC...

    Giant Door Movement

    RP2 logic gates are all doable in vanilla. It just makes it easier to screw around with redstone without having to look at the wiki every 4 seconds to look at the next step. Etho has some machines that do exactly what some of the modded blocks do, and sometimes his massive machines do it...

    [POLL]BC Pipes VS RP Tubes VS AE

    I use BC because I can easily make a lag-reducing detector that detects if a certain condition is true and if it is it turns off the pipes for lag control. You could probably do the same with transposers and some redstone, but I can smack a 2x3x2 detector on a timer/pipe and the updates every...

    Would it be possible to put EVERY mod in a single modpack?

    I wait till the day where I get a modpack that has every village world gen mod possible so I can just walk a few blocks and find a village that takes up the entire map, and in it all there's only 1 vanilla building still standing.

    Would it be possible to put EVERY mod in a single modpack?

    I just thought of this. Considering the amount of usable item IDs that we have with Forge, and the amount of diffrent mods in all the modpacks, would it be possible to combine the Ultimate pack with Ampz/Voltz/UE/whatever, the Voxelbox pack, and some other modpacks out there to make a pack of...

    What Items Do You Think Players Under-Use?

    Slag furnaces are really good if you get a furnace heater hooked up to some mirrors early game, plus they can increase your lead income by about 2.5x. I don't ever use any IC2 electric tools. Why would I want to get some iron and cook it with some redstone and rubber and whatnot when I can...

    Non-renewable Items?

    Per tick. Also, the chance may be lower than 0.01%. Plus, I don't think Greg could put in a free MV/HV/EV/whatever it is generator without adding some kind of risk to using it. The power generation would easily overpower solars, and instead of having to use a bunch of parts to get an advanced...

    Non-renewable Items?

    I'm fairly sure. I saw it posted on the wiki and also saw multiple threads of people having their dragon egg siphons getting blown up for no apparent reason.

    Non-renewable Items?

    The dragon egg energy siphon has about a 0.01% chance every tick to explode. It's completely useless and you're better off with solar power.

    Detected Leaking Worlds in Memory Error

    FOR EVERY TIME SOMEBODY DOESN'T USE THE SEARCH BUTTON... ...I fail to find the photo of George Bush eating kittens. In other words, http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/leaking-world-help-is-here.13230/

    I need help converting Tekkit to the 1.2.5 FTB packs.

    -Snip- (Apparently I wasn't suspended, and it was just the site being down. Removed this now that somebody replied to avoid complaints) I have a Tekkit classic world that I worked a bit on, and I want to make it compatible with FTB 1.2.5. I wouldn't have asked to see if I could port the world...

    Whats with all the red crosses?

    Are you using Optifine? Sometimes Optifine can try to put snow on a modded piece of grass/sapling/whatever and it'll use the wrong ID for the snow, and it'll look akward. I remember on Tekkit that same thing happening, only with sapphire pickaxes, so everywhere around my base was just filled...

    Power Tool mode switch

    Hit the hotkey that you've used to disable the plasma cannon. If you didn't assign a hotkey to it, go back to your tinker table and add the plasma cannon back in. If it's already in the power tool, then I think you're bugged. +1 for having a monstercat avatar :3

    Issues with my train dispenser factory!

    Baah, there are so many issues and bugs with this build. I'm trying out the new icon. EDIT: The new icon didn't work. Infact, it sent 12 iron and 16 red dye to the crowbar fabricator, and the emerald pipe pulling the crowbars out of that fabricator didn't pull them out. There wasn't anything...

    Issues with my train dispenser factory!

    Picture of my current setup for my factory that makes train dispensers. (I was going to make a solar factory in my legit world, but I wanted to test it in my test world. I also didn't want to spoil myself by making a solar factory before I made one in my legit world, so I made a train dispenser...

    need some creative criticism

    The castle towers blend in too well with the wall. Make them stick out 2 to 3 blocks from the wall, and make them around 5-7 blocks taller than the wall. A spiral staircase in a square structure can easily be achieved like this: Just continue that pattern and you're set. Torches also add to...

    Help

    Go into your Direwolf20 folder. Go to saves. Take everything out and put it somewhere easily accessible and somewhere temporary. Delete the entire Direwolf20 folder. Play the Direwolf20 mod pack from the launcher, and it'll download it again (an updated version will be downloaded -- there's...

    are command blocks used differently in FTB?

    Ummm... You say you have command blocks enabled in the configs, but do you have them enabled in the gamerules? /gamerule commandBlockOutput true or something like that should work. The gamerules (I learned this from previous experience as a server owner) don't work well with the...

    are command blocks used differently in FTB?

    I had an issue once with a bad version of Optifine that caused redstone to not work properly. It may be that Optifine is just screwing up the lever/button/pressure plate/whatever and it's not activating the command block. Try updating your Optifine to D5 if you're playing 1.4.7
