    Lava Generator x64 and Lava Fabricators... would that work?

    That depends on configs, and is one that is modified quite a lot. Reactorcrafts Fusion Reactor is easily made self sustaining. It only requires a large canola farm for lubricant, and some ocean water to get deuterium. ( If you don't mind reducing your power output, you can just use regular...

    Reactorcraft Fusion Reactor Experiments

    I have recently been experimenting with the Fusion Reactor. In fact, I got a design up to powering 17 High-Pressure Turbines, for a little over 146GW. While this was fairly interesting, it was only the start. You see, it reminded of a few posts I have seen on these forums. These posts would...

    New PC for FTB

    If you're getting it just for minecraft ( including modpacks ), you can save quite a bit more on the video card. A $150 vid card will be practically asleep playing MC. You could then put that money towards an even better CPU, which will help. If you do plan to play other games though, a good...

    Need timer help

    Computercraft would definitely be the easiest solution. I haven't touched it in quite awhile, so I can't give you any actual code. Basically though, you set up a loop with a 15 (or 13 if you include the 2 seconds in it.) second delay. A variable increments each loop, and controls the channel...

    An organized list of the mods in each pack?

    Try the modpack changelogs. The link is in the black bar above here on the forums.

    Random Lag Spikes TechWorld2

    It should run fine, particularly on the 1.6.4 packs. ( 1.7.10 has been very problematic ) Java arguments are like Optifine: Hit and miss. Sometimes they help, sometimes they make things worse. Speaking of Optifine, have you tried that? Fastcraft can indeed help as well. Also, try a shorter...

    Is there a way to keep from getting blown around by openblocks fans?

    Do you have morph? With RoC fans, you can fly above the level of the fan without getting pushed. With morph, you can turn into a bat to fly. It also reduces your height to less than 1 block, so you can get closer to the ground before hitting the fans wind.

    Random Lag Spikes TechWorld2

    I've never used TW2 before, so I'm not sure what settings to expect. Have you tried giving it either 2.5 or even 3 gigs? ( Don't go over 3 though. ) Also, make sure nothing is running in the background. Anti-virus, youtube videos, etc. You can try enabling the mod Opis, and run it ( /opis )...

    Network Server vs Local Server

    You're fine putting it on the ssd too, unless it's a first gen. SSDs now have very similar mtbf as most disk drives. Plus, what good is a ssd that lasts 20 years, but is never used?:) I've been running my ftb, and other games, for several years on a cheap ssd...haven't even had a hiccup, and it...

    Lag problems in my base, Direwolf20, 1.0.3 for minecraft 1.7.x

    In many cases though, they are both caused by the same thing. It's certainly not a be all end all solution, but it is extremely simple and can find a large number of problems very quickly. This makes it an ideal starting point, instead of jumping right into random speculation.

    Lag problems in my base, Direwolf20, 1.0.3 for minecraft 1.7.x

    Enable opis in the mod list. Log in and type /opis. Opis is a profiler that gives pretty detailed info on most everything. If for example theres a single block causing the lag ( such as the above guide ) youll even have an exact coordinate.

    Random Lag Spikes TechWorld2

    When in doubt, it's better to provide too much info instead of not enough. Java parameters, forge log ( in a spoiler or on pastebin, or something similar so it doesn't clog the thread ), system specs, and more info on the lag would be a start. Often, "random lag" is caused by poor java...

    Base Lag Help

    It definitely looks like it's an entity problem. All of your shots with 1 fps have over 800 entities. The shots with the machines has medium fps, and over 300. The shot with good fps has under 60. In all of the shots, the entities are invisible, so I'm guessing behind a wall/under the floor...

    FTB Monster Crash ( I don't know where to put this)

    It's not the mob that's the problem, it's the potion effect it applied to you. Most likely in the config it has a bad potion ID ( Either 128+ or the same as another potion ID. ) I haven't used that mod, so I'm not sure if it would even be in the config, etc. I think the potion effect would be...

    Base Lag Help

    There were a number of scenarios that would indeed cause the tanks to lag quite badly. Unfortunately I just don't remember what they were, Ultimate was quite a long time ago. Opis is also not available that far back. You might want to try duplicating your save, and going into the second world...

    What would cause the launcher to unexpectedly shut down w/o a log?

    It should be, but I wouldn't mess with Java just yet. You have the RAM set to 7 gigs, which is way too high for MC. Also, the minimum is way too low. With 1.7.10 I have found setting them to the same thing helped quite a bit with various problems. You should probably start with 3G, then if...

    Low FPS & Spikes while playing Direwolf20 1.7.10

    As tedy said, add fastcraft. 1.7.10 has some serious performance issues, and fastcraft is specifically designed to help. Some more tips: Decrease your RAM as much as possible, and set both minimum and maximum to the same number. ( I had a lot of problems when I had them set different. ) I'm...

    Is This Laptop Any Good?

    That should run it fine with proper tweaking ( because 1.7.10 is such a mess.. ), but are you really sure you need a gaming laptop? For that price you could get an extremely good gaming desktop, then just use your current laptop when you need something mobile. The difference would be immense...

    Did I do something to break my server?

    Yea, week or 2 ago, plus like 10 hotfix updates ( many without version increases). It is way better. He also got around to the changelogs, including v2. Now he's working on another decent update which will either be V3e or V4. No word yet on when it'll be out, but it does sound like it will...

    Is it better to play SSP on a server?

    I've done just that though... Also, you don't need to run 24/7 for it to still cost more. The server farms often have solar panels and are built where electricity is especially cheap. They also reduce their usage a number of ways. Heck, if the op lives in hawaii, even a few hours on the...
