    Windows .exe GregTech Machine Issue

    I get the same crash too. It seems the machines unload while I'm away. I have to wait for them to reload before I can click on them.

    What youtube videos do YOU want to watch

    I pretty much watch the same though I haven't watched Odedex but I will have to start watching. I also like VintageBeef since him and Bdubs help inspire me to build things that look nice.

    Where is my enthusiasm?

    Yeah I get this "why am I doing this" feeling a lot once I reach a certain point. Starting a new world is one way to go or just stop playing for a long while and come back to the game later might help. Stop playing for a few days helped me to rekindle my enthusiasm a few times on my latest...

    had exactly 1 chunk of stuff disappear on me...

    This is exactly why I have it setup to automatically upload my saves to dropbox. I used this guide to setup a symbolic link for only my FTB saves. The great thing with dropbox is that you can go on their website and download previous versions of your files. I had this happen to me a few months...

    How do YOU farm trees?

    Steve carts normally for me. However, I have yet to set one up in my latest world so I'm having fun using my advanced jetpack and advanced chainsaw. :):confused::eek::Do_O:cool:

    AE ate my diamonds :(

    I love AE but I understand how buggy these mods can be. Mindcrack was working really good for me but I decided to go with Ultimate. Love all that it adds but it also seems buggy. Though like you said updating has helped me some. I was having a lot of Mystcraft issues until I manually updated...

    AE ate my diamonds :(

    Man if this happens to my save I will cheat in whatever I know I lost.

    How many Portal Guns / Spawner have you found in chests?

    Only one so far. It was when I just started my first brand new Ultimate world. I had an established Mindcrack world so I was just about to quit Ultimate when I found the portal gun. That one item made me stay my Ultimate world which I'm pretty happy with so far.

    Thoughts on Mojang & Mods?

    Yeah, with every official update I'm always disappointed with the lack of new interesting content. I guess I'm just jaded from all the cool stuff the mods add. I think they should adopt forge but I highly doubt they will.

    Voxel map

    Yeah, I noticed this issue too the other day. I also died in the Nether and the death point the voxel map was way off where I actually died and because of that I lost all my stuff because I got lost.

    Should I give up on FTB?

    I know you said you didn't want to watch videos but I highly recommend Direwolf20 since he explains how the mods work very well. Though he doesn't use GregTech he mainly starts out with Thermal Expansion which is a great way to avoid using GregTech until you have more resources to devote to it.

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    I don't mind GregTech, mostly because lately when I play I never use much of IC2 other than the jetpack. Though it just feels strange for the "Ultimate" pack to have the easier vanilla recipes for the Power Suits enabled from the start. I'm sure it wasn't meant to be enabled with this pack...

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    I'm enjoying this great mod too. However, with the ultimate pack is it normal that the Modular Power Suit recipes are vanilla and Gregtech? I know I can change the recipes through the config but I was wondering was it intended for the vanilla to be enabled since those are much easier recipes...

    Low-maintenance or maintenance-free solar alternatives?

    Really nice setup! I've been hooked on lava for a long while and I've been thinking about something similar to this just to be different.

    Good storage system setup?

    That is one of the primary reasons I switched from Mindcrack to Ultimate after watching Dire's spotlight of Applied Energistics. I normally enjoy using redpower to sort to both barrels and chests. However, I'm ready try something different and seemingly more compact.

    Low-maintenance or maintenance-free solar alternatives?

    You could do some blaze hunting in the nether with a soul shard to a earn a tier 5 blaze spawner. With unlimited blaze rods you can feed them into several generators. Not an easy way but try to get a soul Stealer enchant on vile sword to help out.

    In SSP, how much do you cheat?

    Certainly losing some tools or armor is a good lesson learned I agree. However, what if you are fooling around with some high-end GregTech stuff and blow up nearly all your machines? Fortunately I only blew up one machine and a bat-box so it was no big deal to remake things, but the explosion...

    In SSP, how much do you cheat?

    Yep I try to keep mine locked too, though it is very easy to unlock it. lol It doesn't help that every time the pack is updated it gets unlocked by default.

    Inventory lag

    Yeah I get this bug too off and on. Sometimes it is worse if I leave some text in the NEI search bar.

    In SSP, how much do you cheat?

    I have a really bad habit of cheating in my stuff after death. Well, mainly only when I die in or around lava. Man I hate lava! Ok, that is not completely true since lava is one of my favorite power sources. However, I'm really trying to break myself of that by going into the NEI config and...
