I guess people just like simpler mods if they are saying TE is a better mod thatn IC2. One cable to run all machines vs multiple cables, working with power loss over distance, converters, upgrades to each machine vs just a few machines that are not adjustable at all. No 'end game' device like...

Is there a reason I can ping the IP of our server from a Command Prompt and get a ping of 50ms or so, but in game it says I have a 500 ms ping? I think the other problem is that its hard to know exactly what causes lag. I have 40 magmatic engines setup (but not running) because it looks cool...

Ive said this a lot, minium stones really break the game. People keep telling me 4 iron for an ender pearl is balanced, but imo it should be more like 4 diamonds. If people mined by hand, then sure iron to ender pearls is ok, but with turtles and quarries, iron is not much harder to get than...

How rare is it to have a world survive for more than a month? Do most of you play for months and kill a world when you get bored, or do most people end up having worlds crash due to bugs and such? Right now ive played minecraft for about 5 months with a few friends on a private server. We have...

I run into the problem that my son wants to play creative mode or 'skydoesminecraft' type mods/maps that to me are ridiculously boring, but he doesn't enjoy the machines/tech mods like I do. Do you guys just play separately or do you suck it up and play what is boring to you? I try but I can...

Pretty sure scaffolding is IC2. Gregtech changes the amount of scaffolds you get so that you cant turn a few logs into huge amounts of EU.

Planks appear to give off the same heat and EU as a log. Huh, thats kind of broken isnt it? Im on ultimate so i use redpower furnaces and solar panels to make charcoal, so at that point its better to make charcoal. Charcoal is more useful all around as a fuel than planks are too, imo. But...

Well it was really strange, while waiting for our server to get set up I was playing ssp but on peaceful just to see how fast I could get a basic ore system going. I got bored on peaceful and set it to hard and then no more than two minutes later checked to see if the turtle dropped off. I...

Is it possible to mine 14 chunks with a turtle and not get a single diamond? Im thinking this is fairly impossible, and somethign is wrong with the turtle. Anyone think its possible to mine out that much and not get a single diamond?

This is VERY helpful thanks for taking time to reply. This really gives me a good idea of what sort of stuff you could run on a moderate level of hosting. We are not yet at that sort of end game and our host says we are bogging down our server. Only one of us had an AE network going and it was...

What level do you use and for how many players. We have 4 people and are looking for a good host at bout $50 a month if possible. KGB doesnt say anything about virtual vs dedicated servers though. We have been killing a server that we pay $30 a month for, and they suggested we upgrade to a...

I timed one using a redstone energy cell when testing the turtle script i use. It took about 15 minutes.

about 15 mins without landmarks. If i couldnt use landmarks id still be pumping 30 mj to it i think.

http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/the-best-and-simple-mining-turtle-tutorial-faster-than-quarry.27352/ This is what i use. 4 turtles and 8 ender chests in a square formation, each turtle set to 30 or 40 so i get a 60 or 80 block square mined out. Faster than a quarry. The key is that...

You wont get much obsidian with the script i use though, because with Austin's script the turtle goes to bedrock and then mines upwards. So even if you dump water down the initial hole it makes, for some reason it wont turn the lava to obsidian and then mine it. Even mining underwater, I would...

Been playing 5 months and have had 4 different worlds, have not been able to get to a point where I got bored before the world crashed and we had to reset. Did get one world to a point that i had 90 hv solars and a mass fab, so it was kind of boring not having to worry about resources at all...

I like designing bases with complementing colors/blocks (to my untrained eye anyway) and a railcraft tank is pretty boring compared to xycraft tanks. :) if it keeps happening ill have to do it though. anyone have a server company they suggest that is good for ftb servers?

ow, this makes sense. how big of a server do you need for these tech mods then? The server we use is $30 a month and if 3 people overload it how expensive are servers that are actually handling dozens of players at a time? :confused:

playing 1.4.7, Ultimate pack.... made a factorization solar array and was going to setup Power Conerters so it would run my MFR harvester... the recipe for a Factorization Consumer is the defunct Solar Turbine... and it isn't craftable anymore. I doubt there is a workaround but if anyone knows...

Im on 1.4.7. What is it about xycraft that loads down a server? Is it something we could disable?
