    how could I change my menu button for the minimap to m again when it is turned off?

    But how would you open up the minimap menu if you've done that and removed the keybinding for the menu? I think that's what OP's problem is.

    This.

    Mindcrack/UHC

    I am subbed to: VintageBeef AnderZEL Etho Guude I only really watch the FTB videos for any of them that upload multiple things to their channel. I'm not sure if I have a favorite, though, because I watch them all for different things. Beef - his microblock building is impressive, and I...

    Lava/Magma Crucible Confusion.

    Can you explain how you get these numbers for me, please? Specifically the opposite power system. Is that in the Power Converter? I run Mindcrack, so I don't think I have that and that's where I'm getting confused.

    RedPower for FTB 1.5

    That argument doesn't hold water when we have a TON of mods that *are* updating for 1.5. Yes, RP2 is a huge mod, and it's very understandable that it is a huge undertaking to update it to 1.5. However, I think the biggest "issue" that people have is that there is a complete lack of communication...

    Tree farm idea

    I'm not at home to check, but yes, I think you can Centrifuge the wood for resin or rubber, but the rate of return is totally different. That, and it may depend on if you're running GT or not. I play Mindcrack 8.2.0, so I have full GT enabled. I don't touch config files at all.

    Tree farm idea

    I was actually thinking the same thing - and also that there is no SC tool that will extract the sticky resin that I know of. It may be able to cut and plant, but you'd still have to manually extract the resin for rubber.

    Tree farm idea

    Agreed. And personally, I can't wait until it's added. I don't really want to muck about with tree breeding, but at least once Forestry saplings are supported in SC, I could breed once to get my high sappiness saplings and be done with it and just use my SC farm from there. :)

    Tree farm idea

    For now. The Forestry saplings may be added soon. According to the SC wiki's Suggested Features page, it is a Priority 7, which means it will likely make it into the mod but it is not currently a priority. I posted over in the SC thread on MCF to see if there's been any progress with this given...

    Which modpack to use?

    I started FTB back in January or so with the Mindcrack pack which had Gregtech. I had never played anything other than Vanilla before, so my first experience with FTB was with Gregtech. I didn't find it difficult to learn at all. I found it frustrating that there was a bunch of make this, but...

    i think there should be a snapshot and 1.5.1 on the launcher

    I don't think snapshots should be added, but I would like to see a more customizable launcher that would include 1.5.1. It could be arranged something like where in the Modpacks tab you have the preconfigured ones like we have now, and then you have a Custom option. Then when you click on that...

    The Final Word on Steam Boiler Efficiency

    Don't quote me on this, but if I'm not mistaken, Steve's Carts will also be updated with the Forestry saplings, so you'll be able to go through the nonsense of tree breeding (I have zero interest in that) once to get the saplings you want, then just use them in your existing SC farm.

    tutorial how to install optifine into all your FTB modpacks

    I'm far from an Optifine expert, but I have heard of that happening before. Do a search on here - I believe the issue was that there were missing textures. It could be that the mods (or versions of mods) in Ultimate aren't supported in the D5 version of Optifine and that's why you're seeing...

    tutorial how to install optifine into all your FTB modpacks

    The wrong version of Optifine will crash the client, not the server. With that said, make sure that you're running the correct version of Optifine for MC 1.4.7, because that's the latest MC core FTB supports. I believe the version of Optifine you want is OptiFine 1.4.6_HD_U_D5. From the MCF...

    Base and Spawn in SMP

    That sounds like a fun way to do things. Like a mini RP session. It always seems like that first day ends so quickly and I'm always scurrying into a mountain or digging into the ground for safety so I never really explore much beyond the spawn area. I might try your method next time.

    Base and Spawn in SMP

    LOL. So do you never set up a base?

    Base and Spawn in SMP

    Bibble - I generally do the same thing. Like I said, I want a place aesthetically pleasing for my base, but for example, looking for a place that has rubber trees if I want to start with IC, etc is a factor as well. I guess the reason I ask is I was watching some Mindcrack videos and I was...

    Base and Spawn in SMP

    Just curious what others do. Being that the area around spawn always stays loaded, do you tend to build a base near there so that you get a "free" chunkloader? Generally when I'm starting out, I like to scout an area that has cool landscape nearby as well as trees. I don't really put much...

    Nuclear Reactors.. suck

    I do understand a bit better, thank you. I think I'll have to play in Creative so I have a visual on what you're describing as well. So related question, then - you need to manually craft the fuel sources and do the centrifuging, correct? So it's "free" energy in that the waste products are used...

    Nuclear Reactors.. suck

    I have a question regarding this - is it what you call a "hybrid" reactor? Also, when you say it breeds it's own fuel, does that mean it doesn't require any upkeep at all? I'm so nuke ignorant and I've had trouble finding information about whether or not these are set and forget or if you need...
