    A Shitstorm

    I do understand that. The people that do care should not be ignored. However, the bigger problem is that the server economy cares. Server balance is important.

    A Shitstorm

    Indeed. That was what I was saying before. There should be a greater emphasis on balancing mods against each other. I understand what you mean. But, as I and Reika said, the power difference has a negative impact on a server. A few members choosing the inferior mod because it is "cooler" will...

    A Shitstorm

    I did. You would never use Forestry over MFR if your intention was to make the most efficient farm. Thus, MFR is superior. Cool is also subjective. Maybe someone thinks it's cool to have a simple, compact and massive producer of crops. A mod being reduced to a niche gimmick because another is...

    A Shitstorm

    That is why one mod will always be superior to another. Forestry and MFR are both used for automated crop and trees. But, compared to Forestry, MFR is much cheaper, takes less space, is less complex and produces more. Thus, people tend to use MFR instead. However, both MFR and TE have extensive...

    A Shitstorm

    Player choice is important. Every mod should have very detailed config options to allow any type of player to enjoy the mod. If it floats your boat to make a bucket of UU matter with 1 EU, you should have that option. On a multiplayer server, it is different. If you are using an "overpowered"...

    A Shitstorm

    This is true. It is a game. People should do what is enjoyable to them. However, in a multiplayer environment it is a bit more complex, especially if it has competition mechanics. For example, if Bob uses a really complex and slow mod while Steve uses a really fast/simple/easy mod, then Steve...

    You could try spawning in exact mode.

    This is already done with the Wand of Equal Trade from Thaumcraft.

    Yes, it can find lag in SSP too.

    I think the area around the spawn of each world is always chunkloaded, like the Overworld. But, this may have changed.

    Assigning Java to use GPU

    Hmm. I'm not sure. You could disable the onboard GPU in the BIOS, but that will waste power during light loads.

    Assigning Java to use GPU

    The defaults are the best for performance, but by default they don't override the application settings. Are you using a laptop or a desktop?

    Assigning Java to use GPU

    Yes, it only overrides what you specify, unless you change the default settings. I would recommend doing it for both Java and the FTB launcher/Minecraft to make sure. Let me know how it works out, as I've only used it on non-Java games.

    Assigning Java to use GPU

    This will tell the video card to override the application settings with the settings you determine. I'm not sure if it will force it to use the dedicated GPU, but you can give it a try: Right click desktop, AMD Catalyst Control Center, Gaming tab, 3D Application Settings, add what you want and...

    Finite Water?

    That is what I dislike. I would prefer that water, power and ore be meaningful. Setting up tesseracts and a pump or a few solar panels is dull. Although there are mods that add complex systems — such as max tier Mekanism — they don't address the underlying issues. For example, they utilize the...

    Finite Water?

    That is true, but it was easily doable to support those systems in singleplayer. The water is only consumed if I'm using it to process materials. Thus, when I'm off mining or building the 400 bucket internal tanks fill up. So, even if I don't use external storage, I have over 800 buckets of...

    Finite Water?

    They produce a surprisingly large amount of water. Although the trickle is fairly low, it is an enormous quantity over time, especially if chunkloaded. The same principle applies to solar panels. Only one or two Railcraft tanks in a forest-type biome can handle most water needs for the...

    [FTB Monster] Magical Crops issue.

    You won't ever get an extra seed in Monster; the chance is set to zero and the second seed drop is disabled. If you want to get extra seeds, just change these: FTB\Monster\minecraft\config\magicalcrops.cfg #################### # general #################### general { I:"Change number...
