Yes, Biogenerator is nearly useless. But so is Turbine, because it's construction and repair cost is prohibitevley high. You can just make windmills with that iron instead, and get nearly as much EU/t for free.

Windmill farms are very effective. 3x better than solars, at least. Tree farms can be very good option too, but now that fillers don't work with saplings, I'm not sure.

Tech mod challenge is engineering challenge. Making some non-trivial structure. RP frame mechainsms is prime example. Other examples are IC2 reators and windmills. 1.2.5 FTB is a good example too - while it required a lot of resource, you were not supposed to dig them up with iron pickaxe.

What are you doing with XP, then? They tend to accumulate. Nearly all enchants grants unbreaking and/or effeciency, which make diamond pickaxe much better. And if you get a Fortune, then you can just use pickaxe for diging diamonds, redstone and lapis, and it will last virtually forever. Using...

From my experience, exploring cave systems and only digging visible minerals is both more fun and more effective. And there is also thing in IC2 called Mining Laser, that digs 10 or so blocks with one click. As for difference between iron pickaxe and diamond drill, it's mostly coal veins. it's...

I only played with TC3 a little (and with cheats), but i found that seeds and nether warts can be good sources of otherwise hard to find aspects.

Railcraft or just Buildcraft pipes.

BG1 is too boring for me. But I played BG2+ToB through several times. Solo gnome illusionist with invisibility at will (by staff) is very fun. Soloed IWD2 with drow cleric. Problem is, she stopped getting exp at around ice temple, because of being too high level.

You forgot that diamond pickaxe can (and should) be enchanted and drill can't. As fot GT as a whole, I think it should be two separate mods. One is just GT stuff, balanced with other mods as they are. And other is rebalancing "hard mode" mod, that changes recipes across the board.

What is "unbalanced" and why it is bad? Is iron pickaxe unbalansed, because it lasts much longer than wooden one and digs faster? Iron and diamond drills fits nicely in tool progression, between iron/copper pickaxe and enchanted diamond pickaxe.

Diamond drill is inferior to diamond pickaxe in many ways (but better in others). So, no, it is not unbalanced.

My issue with GT is mostly with tools. IC was one of the very few mods that changed early game, giving early access to drill, laser and jetpack. GregTech breaks making game debute indistinguished from vanilla. Sadly, Thaumcraft3 seem to follow the suite, moving wands and boots that were...

Titan Quest >>> Diablo IIIAlso,if you like survival games, try Stranded (http://www.strandedonline.de/). It's kind of like Don't Starve, but 3d and free.

If you have electric engine, you have forestry, and if you have forestry, you have cheap MJ. I think electric engine is useful only if you need to power something at remote location, and don't have thermal expansion's betteries, so have to use lapotrons.

Pickaxe turtles are probably cheaper solution than quarries. Just three diamonds apiece.

I can disable GT or edit config on my client. Same as you can download GT and install it by hand. But problem is bigger than that. Idea of modpack is to have common ground for community to build stuff and experience upon. What will happen if some will use GT, and some (third or so) will not...

Shooting IC2 laser vertically is a fast way to "cut" huge trees. Tecnd to start fires, though.

FTB (of 1.2.5) also makes a collection of mods into complete game, but without breaking mods in question. Focus of FTB (of 1.2.5) is not digging for hours, looking for diamonds and iridium, but crafting complex mechanisms. Feed the GregTech is indeed an interesting game (for some people), but...

Bio Generator is extremelly ineffective. But, if you have some kind of tree farm, you can make scaffolds from wood and burn them instead of coal.
