Yep, my two current "challenges" are to find a darkland biome for a sapling, to get "better" storage chests, and to craft leads to get the early automation in place. Just hoping that I can use Pigs (if enabled in config), as that's all I have spawning anywhere near me.

Big thumbs up from me, brilliant post, especially for mentioning "Bog of Eternal Stench" I've always adjusted the wood recipes myself (2 planks from a log) purely as a counter balance to automation, but will admit I've overlooked the supply/demand aspect you mention. Food for thought there...

Where are those settings? Cannot see anything relating to noise map.

Ah, never used Tech Reborn so wasn't aware of this "difference". Thank you for educating me. Just shows how different mods handle things differently, as a result, what you expect and what you get can be totally at odds.

Going back to what I posted earlier, just watched Direwolf20 playing this on Forgecraft, and just as he was signing off, he stumbled across Bauxite Ore and Aluminium Ore. Again, lazy configs generating what is basically the same ore! Tsk tsk, shook my head at that.

I'd be happy for anything to improve performance. The new json block format with resource packs is horrendous on performance, takes so long to load a modpack nowadays.

I'm always a fan of having at least 2 options for crafting a regular component, and tried that in my own pack Shattered. The first few crafts may be grindy, but what you are building will make further crafts quicker & less annoying. For example, Metal plates in my shattered pack. The first...

Agreed, I experimented with Veins and 1 in x chance in 1.7.10 skyisland world, and it really forces exploration, and being you can see some of the ores at island edges (challenge being getting to the ores without falling into the void) it avoids the tedium of mindless endless mining in stone for...

I'd have to agree. But, I got into making my own packs as when I tried various official ones from FTB, I noticed so many things not configured right and that trend has been increasing. The number of times I've seen these official packs with 2 different types of the same ore being generated in...

I'm with you, in my 1.7.10 pack, I also made it 1 ore to one ingot in a smeltry, and also textured and changed the recipes so it's made from steel. Basically turned it into a multiblock for making tools and recycling some drops. Fitted in much better with the rest of the mods in the pack then.

Thanks, didn't realise that the twitch launcher is an out of date java. Turns out my system was slightly newer, but not completely up to date, so that's been updated. Twitch launcher is "great" for building up a pack, but it's damn clunky. I used to build the packs within the vanilla launcher...

World gen lag I can understand and appreciate, but I'll be just standing in a generated area, and currently browsing through JEI learning how things interact for the pack I'm designing Have 6gb allocated, using Twitch and Native launcher. Only 80 mods (so far) loaded in the pack (so quite tiny...

Need some help, trying to make a modpack in 1.12.2, and I'm getting extreme lag spikes every 10-15 seconds. This is in a brand new generated world with nothing built in it. It also happens when entering any GUI screen (vanilla or modded). Game log doesn't show anything, but shows it's getting...

In the SevTech pack, what mod adds the horse powered sawmill & grinder?

I think I may have been a bit overkill on AE2 meteorite generation. Well, you can't say you can't find a meteorite!

Big thanks to Direwolf20 for the mod review of Thaumcraft. To get started, you need redstone, so, that's a small issue :D Alternate recipes incoming!

Calling all talented modders, hoping for someone to make a little mod for me. I need a mod that adds a crazy amount of deep ravines to the world gen, deep enough to go from the surface and hit the bedrock. They should also be able to carve up mountains and anything in the way. The world needs...

Yeah, I'm thinking of a "Clockwork Gizmo" to act as a redstone replacement in simple crafts (like the piston), the gizmo is more expensive then redstone to reflect the feel of the pack (aka you've cobbled something together that can do the same basic function of redstone, like a combination of...

Added Botania (it was on my list in my head...) just not a favorite mod of mine :D Made a test world with all these "starting" mods to get a feel for things. Some things come to mind to tweak already (some things need redstone alternatives in the recipes otherwise you'll be totally screwed)...

Been thinking of this idea for a while now, about a pack that due to "story line" there is no redstone in Minecraftia (along with many other rarer resources), the source of all power in our minecraft worlds. Instead the player has to look for new sources of "power" progressing as far as they...
