    FTB - It´s to easy, how to make it hard?

    Isnt the more succinct question: what influence has LP'ers had on how people play modded minecraft? We can say with some certainty, that the FTB map, and it's set of mods is quite heavily influenced by the playstyles of both slow and direwolf20. actually, i think that without those two people...

    MFFS_Cal_v3.1.0.175 but forcicium still around?

    that is how minecraft modding just is. mod's are being developed for 1.6 now, and in some cases even being made for 1.7. updates to what we get back here in 1.5 is by necessity going to be backports at best. or just stuck at the version they currently are at, at worst. that is how it works when...

    What is the best Tinker's Construct Material should I use for the Tconstruct Bows

    It's not like the stuff is rare or anything. don't worry about spilt alumite. there are loads of the aluminum stuff in every world.. especially if you do automining. I usually have way more of it than I know what to do with even before i get into the quarry stuff.

    FTB & 1.6.4

    yeah. that is indeed what i had in mind to do. it's what i have been doing to all the FTB packs i have played as well. first to go from unleashed were dartcraft and EE3. Dartcraft annoyed me with the tendency towards easymode. yeah, it can be fun for a short while, but it kinda took away a lot...

    FTB & 1.6.4

    Yeah. i saw on the G+ group. looking forward seeing what is going to be pruned away from the pack. my system is not a lower end system however. it's only about 3 years old, and it was built custom for gaming too, altho i am a bit light for RAM. I had one of my RAM cards burn out on me, so i just...

    FTB & 1.6.4

    lol. yeah. that is one of the harder parts of balancing things yourself. also. configs. usually you end up changing them during the course of a world because you stumble onto somehting that aren't quite to your liking. now add to that worldgen issues that may crop up as well. world reset mecha. ugh

    FTB & 1.6.4

    I used to do it myself. man is it a lot of work, not only that. whenever there are updates you got to do it all over again. it's kinda... frustrating.. after a while, but once you got everything set up like you want. damn is it a lot of fun. and by all means. a lot more balanced than most large...

    Skele mob twin?

    I have no idea what mod adds it, but whatever mod that is, it is on my must have list. those mob's with your kit on is just hilarious at times. and not always exactly killable either, a skelly in full nano is a pita to get rid of. better to imprison it in a glass prison and gawk at for a while...

    FTB & 1.6.4

    I have tried to play RR. some of the mods i like, some i don't, that is just a matter of taste, but the thing that get's me every time i have tired it is the horrible lag i get from time to time. i suspect TC4... but there are just too many mods to figure out in a short timeframe. I'm on the...

    Simple Skelly farm question

    you need the item collector, so it's barrel at the bottom, then item collector, and a conveyor belt on top. forgot about those, you get 8 item collectors for the price of 4 plastic, a machine frame (if TE recipes are enabled), and a chest. buildcraft insertion pipes cost 9 lapis, 2 tin and a...

    Colecting items in a large radius

    I don't know if there is such an attachment, but if there were it would be nice to have indeed. what i have found with MFR treefarms however, is that some trees work better than others for avoiding spills. . avoid treetypes that tend to spawn monster trees. birch is a good tree type to use...

    Simple Skelly farm question

    you can run conveyor belts on top of the barrels, and get the same effect as the pneumatic tubes had. if a barrel accepts the item going over it, it will be inserted into the barrel. if not, then it will just move along to the next one in line. you can also do the final sorting with item...

    FTB - It´s to easy, how to make it hard?

    my captain of the royal guard tried to i think. don't think he managed to complete the sentence before he died tbh. it was a one hit kill, and it was the first sign that something was going horribly wrong. 10 minutes later everyone was either dead, dying, or out of their mind with...

    Soulshard mod Question

    If i recall correctly, passive mobs do spawn in midair as well with soul shards. haven't ever tried with vanilla spawners, since, you know, they aren't legitimately obtainable anyway. from what i have been able to gather about the despawn mechanics when using the soul shard mod, the mob's aren't...

    FTB - It´s to easy, how to make it hard?

    I agree with everything you wrote, except the depth part. Dwarf fortress has a tonne of gameplay depth to it. what it actually lack is good visuals. I once had my dwarven minions carve out a large hall for my mountain king, it was 5 levels tall at the tallest, with balconies, and support...

    Simple Skelly farm question

    conveyor belts are awesome. they act very much like obsidian pipes, and they can even feed directly into pipes if so desired. I use more and more conveyor belts in all my builds nowadays. they are just so darn flexible, with the only limitation being that they aren't very convenient for upwards...

    MFFS_Cal_v3.1.0.175 but forcicium still around?

    deprecated items are often not removed til after a few versions have passed, just in case other mods that are based off of the same parent mod uses the same resource. got to give them time to adapt to the new system. the stuff is still being generated in unleashed 1.1.4, but I expect that it...

    Soulshard mod Question

    This is looking like some kind of chunk loading issue. what type of chunk loaders are you using? have you tried using cheat mode to swap them out with another type and checked if it behaves any different? remember, all it takes to cause the entire thing to grind to a halt, is a single piece of...

    Simple Skelly farm question

    drop the skellies onto conveyor belts, make them all feed into one spot, then have it pass out of the drop area, put an item router under the last conveyor belt, and have it set to only take bones. put a block of lava, or a piece of netherrack on fire, or even a cactus on the end, so that...
