Maintaining a pack is not easy nor quick. Lots and lots of mod and cross-mod issues. Even for the small server I maintain, it's never easy doing updates. There's always something new/different/unexpected to troubleshoot. @Jason McRay We mostly updated to your latest version. The only mods we...

Playing a slightly modified version of InfiTech2, a GT-centered pack that includes most other tech mods save TE and Reika's. It also has Magic and most everything Bees-related. No BloodMagic, TiCo, Gendustry, TE, or Reiak's though. Those would throw off a lot of the GT balance/progression or...

OK, did some testing with my configs. Below are the raw results. I need to make a Google spreadsheet to be cool/helpful, since not everyone will use either Apple Oak w/Apples (noob) or Mahoe (High Sappiness) w/Grapefruit (geek like me). Conclusions: Always use juice or honey for the 1.5x...

Guess that boss has a huge range. Can you disable that boss via the config ?

Looks like a boss ! King Slime, Ender Dragon, and Wither Boss all do that.

Hah ! I see I've been too quick to breed out certain..."interesting" Effects from my lovely bees. The lightning and the near-forest fire from those Excited (Redstone) bees early in our world was just a teaser.

It lags slightly for me when I shift+click craft a bunch of stuff in most crafting interfaces/surfaces, but I love using it. It keeps my inventory and chests organized. To avoid the lag, I use the Forestry Crafting Table (the green crafting table that has an inventory and memory of last 8...

Huh. While editing Forestry's HARD.conf, I discovered something new : HARD nerfs the Fermenter sapling output by 2x ! When combines with the 4x energy cost, that makes the Fermenter a whopping 8x less efficient ! In comparison, a Mahoe (the best) sapling is 6x better than a vanilla sapling...

Yup, and his logic is rather strange. He's assuming you have fairly long power runs and that combining multiple smaller generators/turbines over lossy wire will be less efficient than using a higher tier. And, the Steam Turbines are incredibly disappointing. When I did a simple comparison using...

Well, one doesn't *have* to use the GT boiler to make steam. The RC boiler seems to work well, and that is very much tweakable. Railcraft Defaults (in this pack) boiler { # # adjust the heat value of BioFuel in a Boiler #...

Yeah, I was all stoked I had gone through all of Binnie's new machines, had bred all the trees with the cool traits, and made the "super sapling", only to find out...wow... @Pyure and I think the Ethanol nerf-bat came out swinging back in the day when spamming RC 36HP boilers was all the rage...

I'll also add that the Big Reactors Turbine - when config's properly for this pack - is a 'better' way of converting steam to RF. The best coils I can find are gold. With a Big Reactors energy output nerfed from 1.0 to 0.6, 256mB/t of steam produces exactly 1000 RF/t (100 MJ/t) of power @...

Yeah, I have mixed feeling about Forestry hard mode. On the one hand, it keeps the focus on GT, which is a good thing. On the other hand, it effectively limits Forestry power to wood/charcoal/plank power and excludes ethanol. I had fun being challenged with how to power the Forestry machines...

If you're using the GT Steel Boiler, it is a charcoal-eating beast for sure. If you're using the eIO machines, stick a grey, red, or green capacitor (the small item, not the battery block) into its single upgrade slot. Besides improving the speed or power output, it improves the efficiency as well.

There's a bee for that, you know ;-) However, one Apatite vein is probably all you need for the entire game.

One may ask : why did I spend a week in RL to make a super sapling when charcoal is so easy ? Why, to explore Binnie's new mod, of course ! His Genetics machines have been completely re-designed. There are more of them, the process requires far more times, far higher quantity of resources, but...

Got serious about making Ethanol this weekend. Was surprised at the results of the various ways to turn Ethanol into power. Here's a summary: GT Steel Boiler --> RC Steam Turbines : 48k EU / bucket GT Basic Diesel Generators : 100k EU / bucket Forestry Biofuel Generators...

Ah...yeah. That makes sense. Sieve ==> pollen Hatchery ==> larvae This weekend, I completed my "super sapling" project. The final stage of injecting pollen with a multi-serum with 8 traits in the Inoculator took over an hour for each pollen. Needed 5 pollen to breed pure. The whole project...

There's a legit way now ? I still don't know a legit way. I have to cheat them in. For trees, however, there is a legit way to get pollen - the Alveary Sieve. EDIT : Oh....dev5 was released 10 hours ago. I'm sooooooo behind the times !!

I'm using it in my 1.7.10 world, but I can't figure out how to get larvae other than cheating it in.
