If your computer has a touch screen (i.e. is a tablet), use Windows 8. Otherwise, Windows 7.

Why not, water is water and rivers are usually not a separate biomes. Also, beehieves do work submerged in water (only problem is where to put flowers). And will not even change humidity to Damp :)

Most badass way to make room for underground base is a Nuke, but Filler works too. And things that need skylight (mostly bees) work under-ocean too. Helps if you want to be stealthy.

Another reason of boxines is that it's nearly always optimal shape. Biggest area that can be contained by given amount of wall blocks is a box, for example. And mods also usually encourage using boxes and squares. Multifarms from Forestry is a very rare exception. And maybe nukes in IC2, if you...

Machines with piping along the walls, floor made of metal chests and RP2 crafting tables. Enchantment table and library for it on the ceiling. This is your living (i.e. crafting) room. Everything else - on other floors. You can even cramp a small forest of rubber trees inside that trunk.

I wanted for a long time to make a 200 meters-high tree-shaped (and looking) base. But it's just too much work to place all that leaves by hand. And it's just one flint and steel away from disaster.

Walking is so pedestrian. Flying is new walking.

Does base really need walls (with windows), ceiling and, even, floor?

Painted IC2 concrete looks great. Too bad it can't be automated with buildcraft.

Also, people build boxes, because minecraft is boxes, and easiest thing to make out of boxes is boxes.

IC2 jetpack can be built quite early and it helps moving around a lot. Especially with mining laser. You are underground and want out? Fire straight up and jet away.

There is mod for that (Buildcraft). And, if you build underground, you don't have to care how it looks outside!

I don't understand the point of building on any surface, flat or no. Underground or up in the sky are safer from stray mobs and players. And underground is also closer to ores.

I can program Java, and would be able to program it myself. But I wanted to know first if this idea was good to begin with. Looks like it was not.

Yes, but players have freedom of how to play that mods and mod combination. Some like nearly-creative-like freedom, some like putting extra limitations to make game more interesting. I though mod that limits spamming of same setups can be interesting for some other people, but if not, so be it...

I don't think "hole" part is necessary. Believe me or not, point is not to "punish" player. Point is to give him interesting engineering tasks. With many powerful automation mods together, a) most of stuff is obsoleted by other mods, such as Raincraft transportation is obsoleted by BuildCraft...

Yes, it "voids" other world anchors, if you mean it. Bot nothing else.

Which thing?

Like recycler+matfab, it's a massive sink for resources. But technically, it's function is world anchor. This mod is both similar and exact opposite to GregTech - it adds challenge and long-term objectives, but instead of making you do more of the same, it encourages you do things more different.

So, Feed The Beast (1.2.5 map), which removes everything fun and puts keys in pyramid-shaped hay stack is taking away fun?
