Am I right in assuming that XYCraft is a big offender here? It seems like that stupid amount of Quartz Crystals will always be loaded in memory (entering unloaded chunks show them, as well as caves, mineshafts and the like), their graphics are way too fancy and they have an un-disable-able...

For general storage, smaller cards will do the job. However, 64k are excellent for storing items you'll get vast amounts of, such as Cobblestone or Sand (if you're digging in a desert). A pre-formatted 64k card can hold several hundred thousand Cobblestone, more than enough to take in whatever...

Never used rails or carts for anything.

"You can only sleep at night" How often haven't you seen that message fill your chat as you try to go to bed six seconds too early every in-game evening? I mean, unless your bedroom has an unobstructed view of the horizon in the west, it's dang near impossible to know exactly when you can put...

A question regarding FTB Ultimate, specifically IC2: Where did the sounds go? Playing Tekkit and Tekkit Lite, I grew fond of the "whooow" of Sticky Resin leaving its tree, the "pshhhhh" of the Electric Jetpack and the steady hum of a running generator. Sadly, they all seem to be missing from...

Could part of the issue be that mods to a smaller degree are being centered around ores? Or, to some degree the same, that ores account for a smaller percentage of mod content? Or even that there are too many resources to account for? There are tons of other resources out there now, that do not...

Told my brother that the only way to acquire diamonds involves digging straight down from the surface. The odds of finding a diamond is apparently increased tenfold if you do so without using any tools.

Factorization solar panels are a godsend. That is, if you're willing to cheat in the uncraftable Solar Boiler required to make the relevant Energy Bridge. I was, and the setup works wonderfully. It requires a fair bit of room, though, and loads and loads of silver, so it's not as overpowered...

Rather, I think that mobs should be able to spot tents and be drawn to them... ...which would be a perfectly good reason to add a camo netting upgrade, which would make the tent invisible to mobs.

Perhaps illegal was a poor choice of words. I guess it would have been, if you had released a pure cut-down version of GregTech, but thinking it through, a simple cut-paste-able snippet of the config files should be perfectly legal.

Ideally, as far as my wishes go, Greg should have two versions of his mod: One "GregTech Full" and one "GregTech Non-intrusive". The full one would be, well, GregTech as we know it. The other would offer little interference with other mods, and little new content but what is offered at the...

Ultimate. Because I like being several months late. I just switched over from Tekkit Lite. Think I'm going to go for Tech World with GregTech added once I've got a proper look at Ultimate. Or perhaps the packs will have updated to 1.7 by then. Time will tell.

I think GalactiCraft is a step in the right direction. I haven't played it yet, but from what I've gathered, it seems like the point is to get into orbit, then to the moon, and later to Mars. Getting to Pluto or something could be a lofty goal to aim for, requiring lots of infrastructure and...

In FTB Ultimate, is there any use for those stupid XYCraft Quartz Crystals? They look ugly, fill up my chests, and thanks to their over-abundance in the world, fancy graphics and particle effects, suck up way more computing resources than I'd ever want to waste on them. At least Xychorium can be...

In FTB Ultimate, is the generation of vanilla ores changed anything from the default (vanilla) settings? I can't seem to find diamonds anywhere, or at least not with the frequency I remember from Vanilla and Tekkit Lite. Gold also seems to be way less common than I remember. Is Lady Luck just...

^^Use an ME Drive instead of all the ME Chests. With the Access Terminal, you won't need to use the Chests to in-/output items anyway. As for resources for autocrafting... I guess the key phrase is "dig a lot". You need a bunch of iron and a bunch of quartz, and enough Glowstone to make you...

Thanks for the replies, both of you! I should have specified, I'm still playing Ultimate (running on 1.4.7, I'm sure you know it). Will an already-existing world be badly affected if I delete ThaumCraft? It honestly sounds more like a hassle than it's worth, especially if I'm not playing the...

Just a question on computer toughness of various mods: ThaumCraft apparently adds Flux and Vis and Aura and all that stuff, which apparently is area-dependant. What implication does this have for a player who couldn't care less about ThaumCraft and never plays it anyway? It almost sounds like...

I don't play enough to go tired of non-challenging ways to play (at least I haven't yet). Though, I once played a world pretending to be some sort of underground mole-man. 1) The sun will burn me - only traverse the surface at night time. 2) The surface is "sacred". Do not gather resources from...

Build a monument to vanity. A cathedral, for instance. Decorate it with metal and gem blocks in intricate patterns, have huge halls stretching beyond render distance, spires that touch the ceiling of the world, catacombs stretching between your bases, and various means of transport connecting...
