    Performance in the next pack?

    I'd be happy with 64km world height. (0 to 64km). With that kind of height you can recreate any natural or man-made structure on earth to scale. There are no mountains higher than Everest, which is 8.8km from sea level, and no deep sea trenches deeper than the Mariana's Trench which is...

    Mod/Item/Stuff Ideas

    Ye it's awesome. Funny how small and simple ideas can combine to form a cohesive awesome whole. Still, tesseracts also work like that and they don't require massive long piping. Still a pretty cool idea though, if you want a slower transfer rate.

    Performance in the next pack?

    What makes me most excited about Cubic Chunks is how everything could be improved. From terrain generation to lag... Infinite or virtually infinite build height is awesome and all, but... Functional and awesome underground/skyland biomes, performance increases, even higher possible view...

    Mod/Item/Stuff Ideas

    I posted this on the General Discussion forum but didn't get many replies(0)... http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/mod-idea-forestry-addon-better-fuels.20529/ I gave much thought into this. Now bash at me.

    Producing biomass/more saplings

    If you're using 1.4.7, then treebreeding doesn't do much for you. You can get 3x Saplings but the bred trees from forestry are nitpicky on what can or can't harvest their saplings. Of course, they work with the newer multifarm, but i don't see much of a point tbh. Every sapling will still give...

    Good building materials that aren't used much

    Damn... We're getting there. Lots of cosmetic blocks coming up. Pretty excited about the vanilla hardened clay blocks that can now be dyed as well. They're not all super pretty and detailed, but all are awesome for pixel art, as they're much smoother than wool.

    Performance in the next pack?

    If clear unobstructed line of sight to the sky is needed for lightning to strike, then no matter how high the build height there will always be the same number of blocks in a given area where lightning is able to strike. Granted, the vertical area that will need to be scanned in order to...

    Good building materials that aren't used much

    Didn't know about that... I was still under the impression that you had to build with the multiblock version of the blocks, and the lag is unsustainable. They look very nice, i might have to do something with them after all.

    Good building materials that aren't used much

    Yeah, Construction Foam is very, very underused. It makes hiding IC2 wires a breeze, has decent blast resistance, you take a reasonably long amount of time to mine it so you don't mine it accidentally all the time like cobble or smoothstone. It also looks bretty good. Other materials include red...

    Performance in the next pack?

    A lot of things can be improved in minecraft. Take chunks, for an example: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1707097-cubic-chunks-infinite-height-reduced-lag-and-more-570-supportersnew-poll-please-resubmit-your-votes/ This forum post explains most of the things better than i could ever explain...

    Don't Want to Use Stairs

    "Mega awesome super fancy bi-winning turbo tiger-blooded #YOLO #420_Blaze_It Double-Time edition" just became my new favorite expression.

    Favorite Mod Authors?

    It's a tough one. Thermal Expansion is so awesome, but many other mods and mod authors are awesome as well. But i have to vote for King Lemming.

    [Mod Idea] Forestry Addon - Better Fuels!

    - Methane (Natural Gas) Methane is also a very nice fuel source, that can reliably be produced with waste product by exploring natural decomposition of organic matter. Being a gas, it is a bit trickier to transport and maintain than Liquid fuel sources, and also requires different, specialized...

    [Mod Idea] Forestry Addon - Better Fuels!

    I have an idea to make a mod that completely revamps the current renewable fuel system. It would add lots of different fuels, and different ways of combining and upgrading these fuels, to add to the complexity and possible builds. I do NOT know how to code, and i DO NOT know how to model...

    I'm so thrilled about 1.6... Horses are so goddamn fast.

    Factorization processing. Is it worth it? Also, a concept.

    Honestly, i'm not sure if it's worth it. Might be worth it to process some of your ore, but definitely not all of it, because the Crystallizer is a huge time sink... Also, automating it is hard. I'd say it's only worth it to process ores you're really hurting for. Even then, i'm torn. Honestly...

    Automating quest ram...

    IIRC every sheep has a different ID, so they each can be spawned, separately. Mob grinder kills them, collect their drops. They will always drop at least one of their color of wool. If you use Soul Shards instead of the MFR Spawner, you will have more wool than you'll ever need. Hell... Spawner...
