    Dealing with natural TC4 taint in the early game

    I believe so. That would help, but does it also remove the taint or just stop it from getting larger? Right now it covers a 3 block radius, so it's not too large, but still large enough to have spawned an evil sheep just recently.

    Dealing with natural TC4 taint in the early game

    So I've been working on my base for a little while, setting up a small factory, when low and behold, it turns out that some tainted land has started growing literally right outside my front door. I haven't even touched Thaumcraft yet, but I really don't want this here. Part of my base is...

    Direwolf20 1.6.4 Optifine Won't Work

    Is there are version of that Optifine FML fix that's just a regular zip file? I can't run 7zip... :\

    With or without gregtech

    For a while, I considered GT a great mod for multiplayer servers, because I thought it throttled players from power-crafting up to endgame content stupidly fast. Unfortunately, nothing stops some people from going nuts with the high tier machines, so all it was actually throttling was the less...

    Forgecraft 2 blue lights everywhere?

    They're destroyed when you break them though. So you can't hoard them like the crazed hoarding maniacs we all are.

    Ultimate 1.5.2 ... Greg vs mDiyo

    See, here is where the misunderstanding is. The dupe bug ISN'T isolated to TC. If you're playing TC alone or with basically anything aside from IC2 with Gregtech, the item's behavior is not a problem. It only becomes a problem when you add IC2 and GT. Thus: not mDiyo's responsibility.

    Ultimate 1.5.2 ... Greg vs mDiyo

    He's a very dedicated proponent of GT, having been the only one to defend him throughout this entire thread. I can respect that, though I think it's misguided. I see no reason to try outing him as being Greg. He probably isn't so it can only serve to inflame matters, but even if he is, that...

    Ultimate 1.5.2 ... Greg vs mDiyo

    Err...what? My thoughts on Greg are pretty much neutral. In fact, I don't even follow what drama may or may not involve him, I just follow his mod so I know what to do in Ultimate. But so what if mDiyo is unreasonable. Maybe mDiyo's position - and I'm totally making this up right here - is...

    Ultimate 1.5.2 ... Greg vs mDiyo

    Greg could have easily worked with mDiyo to figure out a method for disabling that effect when GT is installed. This is primarily his responsibility, since his mod is balanced around multiple mods. TC is not, so mDiyo isn't beholden to approach first. Instead Greg is accusatory and abuses the...

    Diamond rarity?

    Necro'd or not, it looks like the question was never answered. So out of curiosity, I generated a world using the seed "Diamonds Test" (no quotes) and went looking for a redwood forest location in the Direwolf pack, then compared that result to the same location using the seed in Mindcrack and...

    I'm Getting Bored

    While it's true that it takes some of the load off mining, it does so without adding anything to the game and on top of that makes itself a necessity simply by existing. It's a necessary evil introduced to solve a problem created by those same mods. Resource balancing by way of The Red Queen's...

    New Pack I Would Like To See

    Basically this. It loads the correct version of Forge for you with only a few clicks, and makes trying new mods dead simple. Granted, if FTB made a "testing pack" for doing this, it would be convenient, but it isn't necessary. Choc: the problem with that is you still have to fiddle with...

    I'm Getting Bored

    You know, the thing about dust - and ore doubling specifically - that always kind of bothered me is that it's purely an end. The goal is to double ores, that's what it does, and there's nothing else to it. If you compare that to, say, the vanilla piston which was originally a mod, or to RP2...

    Thoughts on MFR

    They've actually announced plans for an animated Lego Star Wars TV show based around Yoda. So you're not too far off, Choc. What I love about MFR is how customizable it allows you to be. The farm system allows you to basically use whatever shape you like, rather than enforcing a specific...

    Redstone Power Supervolcano's, found one?

    You mentioned it's in a redwood forest, yes? That's the key. From what I understand, RP2 volcanoes generate ahead of EBXL trees, which then delete the basalt when they generate in turn. This can result in some extremely funky looking volcanoes in redwood forests, including ones where the...

    Dear FTB team now that 1.4.7 packs are final

    So, sometime in 2015 then :p

    Dear FTB team now that 1.4.7 packs are final

    BlobLord, are you so sure about that statement? I was under the impression that one of the goals of the Ultimate Pack was to show off their own challenge map and promote other peoples' maps as well. Have they changed this strategy at some point? And if so, when?

    How do i get rid of HUGE amounts of flux?

    You could always plant a silverwood tree by your base to create a new node. That increases Viz, doesn't it?

    Resonant Rise

    Winners don't wear pants, Saice. Winners don't wear pants. I remember a song Toby ad libbed while playing the Tale of Kingdoms mod during the guild siege, and another he did while messing with some other mod that adds hostile archers and knights(?) that were both totally epic.

    Resonant Rise

    Seconding that Kirin is watchable! Your voice sounds very professional. I'm amazed he still does Minecraft honestly. His schtick revolves around "being bad at games", and I just can't imagine someone consistently failing to improve at Minecraft for so long and still be entertaining. Also...
