I left off my kid gloves because I didn't think I needed them. My mistake, I thought we were above the need for disclaimers like "this is only my opinion as to what is necessary for a healthy FTB modpack", or "I understand mod authors owe me nothing", or "I really quite like pahimar, and think...

Yes, there are plenty of EE3 conversions that are going to be controversial---the entire mod is premised on a single person establishing a game-wide economy for the lossless conversion of dirt into everything---but the topic of this thread is on the most illustrative example of EE3-gone-wrong...

I've never laughed so hard as when Simon, mad with power, pushes Duncan off the edge of a Quarry hole to his death... and is immediately pushed in after him by a random Zombie that had crept up from behind. I can't remember the episode number, but it was early on. The circumstances made me...

Yogscast and Direwolf20 (though if I hear him say "how cool is THAT?" one more time I am going to lose it) I know it's Tekkit, but anyone who hasn't watched the YogsCast build a Jaffa Cake Factory has squandered countless opportunities to laugh-spit a beverage all over your keyboard while...

Thanks! Alas, it is sounding like I'll have to settle on a Hopper... but even that merely pushes the problem back a bit, since they can fill up too. I'm actually a little surprised the Sorting Machine doesn't simply return the Copper Ore to the input Chest when it bounces back (or that there...

Bees: Of all the things on this Earth, I have never felt so clueless about a topic while everyone around me seems to understand it so well. I have a ton of questions, but I suppose the most burning ones are the four that follow; any answers/insight you are able to provide will be much...

Thanks, I'll test it out and report back. My only concern is whether connecting a Restriction Tube back to my input Chest will cause an infinite loop: Since the input Chest would always be a "valid destination", does this mean my Sorting Machine will constantly extract items from the input...

This is one of those questions where I'm sure the answer will make me feel dumb, but after searching wikis and Googles and forums (oh my!), I'm at a loss. (I'll post screenshots if it turns out the answer isn't so simple.) I have a Sorting Machine attached to an input Chest, which manages my...

I hadn't read that changelog, and I'm very intrigued---definitely a lot of changes I need to look into before I rest on those earlier statements. I think the new features are quite exciting (I've been a sucker for everything Earth/Air/Fire/Water since Captain Planet... not to mention Avatar)...

I have to agree: XyCraft shouldn't be part of the FTB modpacks, according to the established guidelines for including mods. Several things make XyCraft especially vexing: It adds an unnecessarily massive amount of material to worldgen, all of which is almost entirely useless. Read that...

Applied Energistics: +2 (That's right, two! I have, in fact, extorted many votes from your World Leaders; The only thing between my illudium Q-36 explosive space modulator and an Earth-shattering kaboom is this button. Observe: GalactiCraft: +8! This mod would be a perfect addition. If...

I very respectfully disagree, and I second the nomination for Greg's Lighting. Consider: FTB encourages building BIG, but FTB is significantly limited in lighting options that can realistically illuminate large buildings. It gets a little silly when you, say, build an entire ceiling out of...

Raining death from a Jetpack while wielding a Potency III/Charging I Wand of Lightning is the only combat strategy I've ever needed: Great range, pinpoint accuracy, knockback, infinite ammo and solid damage.

A few of my observations from my own thaumic tinkering: For Alienis, I use Obsidian Totems rather than Ender Pearls: I find they're easier to acquire, since those totem circles with the chest/spawner in the middle show up rather clearly on the minimap. They were EVERYWHERE on a MystCraft...

I apologize for not having specific mods in mind; rather, these are more general suggestions for particular types of mods that I think would greatly benefit FTB. Hopefully more knowledgeable members of the community might have some suggestions, or (pipe-dreaming, here!) perhaps these ideas...
