How do I add metallurgy to the monster pack? I know its simple seeing as its already in Horizons, but I can never remember how to do it.

Could be good, but you'd have to be careful about which mods you use. I'd disable any sort of weapon that ignores armour; if there's no point in making armour, it reduces the amount of time you have to spend caving, which I don't think is good for a gamemode centred around survival. Not to...

Does anyone know how common metallurgy ores are (that is, the one's that aren't replaced by other mods)? I've looked at the configs, but they're aren't entirely helpful. I understand what 'max/min height', 'vein size' and 'veins per chunk' are, but what are 'vein chance' and 'vein density'?

Well, if you get enchantments you don't want, you could just put them on books until you get one you want. Not a massive improvement though (clearly the Mojang guys don't want enchanting to be too powerful). I wonder if the gold cost is for all enchantments, or if it depends on the actual...

He brought it in originally to make up for the fact that people were using TE's oregen rather than IC2's (which needs a ton more copper & tin). With IC2 oregen it isn't as necessary (its still nice for the silver & gold though).

Didn't make any difference unfortunately. At least I'm going home tomorrow so I can use my PC rather than my crappy laptop :) I don't know how to do this.

Is it just me, or is there ridiculous FPS lag with Horizons? With Unleashed I was getting around 15fps (I know, its a piece of crap) - just about playable once you've gotten used to it. In Horizons, I was getting about 0.5fps. It should go without saying, impossible to do anything with. Is there...

In the FTB horizons pack, what good weapons/armour are there? For weapons there's obviously tinker's stuff, but what about armour? EDIT: Completely forgot about metallurgy. Speaking of which, is metallurgy stuff enchantable?

Time you've enjoyed wasting isn't wasted time.

When did we say we didn't like the IC2 changes? We said we didn't like the way wires work. We're fine with the other stuff. Besides, not using something you "don't like" doesn't actually solve the problem, it just forces you to ignore it.

I assume by the bit in bold you're referring to the radio-isotope generators or whatever they're called. The energy produced by these shouldn't be the primary objective of using a nuclear reactor, it should be the energy produced by the reactor itself, which is being handicapped by the 2048 eu/t...

While i'm excited for the new IC2 stuff, I agree with Shneekey about wires. They should have stayed as they were. At the very least, the limit should be raised to 8192eu/t (for glass fibre). Regarding reactors though: can't you just hook up multiple wires to a reactor, and have the eu get...

I'm quite excited to start playing FTB Horizons, since it has a bunch of new mods that don't appear in the older packs. However, the amount of new stuff is quite overwhelming. Where's the best place to start? Obviously i'm used to Tinker's and thaumcraft from the other packs, but what about the...

This might be a noob question, but are there any 1.6 FTB packs out yet? If so, where can I get them?

This isn't your thread, don't tell people what they can & can't post in it. If someone has a completely safe condensator setup, they can post it here. I had a completely safe condensator setup in my last world that ran without any problems at all (unfortunately I had to abandon it for other...

I actually like the new IC2, though I haven't had chance to play with it. Then again, I also like playing with GregTech. I'm looking forward to seing what else Thunderdark is going to add :)

Condensators are only viable if you have bees to make lapis. There's no other way you can get them fast enough (aside from running a bunch of quarries). CRCS is better (no running costs), though the startup costs are pretty big. Not to mention I still haven't been able to automate them.

You don't need to turn the cart around. When the mining carts inventory fills up, it turns around on the spot and starts pushing the anchor cart instead. When it turns around again, it'll start pulling it again just fine.

Yes unfortunately. SC chunk loaders have been buggy all the way through 1.5. Same story for anchor carts, though they seem to have been fixed recently. You'll have to use one of those. A shame they make the cart move slower, but until its fixed we'll have to make do.

In issue 2940 of New Scientist, there's an article talking about QCraft (created by Google's Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab) and how it teaches players all about the strange world of quantum physics. "QCraft isn't a perfect scientific simulation, but it's a fun way for players to experience...
