    Best way to mine?

    The IC2 Config file lets you add block ids + metadata to the list of what the Miners will pick up. So if the Miners are not picking up, say, thaumcraft infused stone (if you have thaumcraft installed), just look up the id:meta value for the blocks and add them to the list.

    Thermal Expansion Ore Gen

    I use metallurgy ore gen. Of course that is because I have installed metallurgy on top of my feed the beast. It's awesome, though. I have every other mods copper, tin, and silver turned off. I have given metallurgy control of the world gen for thaumcraft cinnabar and infused stones, uranium...

    Getting started with Feed the beast

    You might want to note for the newbies that you need all four pieces of the hazmat suit to get lava immunity. Also, there are rumors that gregtech might be going away, and anyway not everyone uses gregtech, so a word about how your next steps in ic2 will be different if you don't have gregtech...

    What is your favorite mod and whats mods do you want to see added to ftb

    Metallurgy has a Mystcraft addon that does add world gen symbols for Metallurgy ores. If you don't want Metallurgy ores in the overworld, that is possible too, you would just have to configure the configs appropriately.

    Faithful32x With FTB Addons

    Are you still working on Metallurgy textures for Faithful? Also, would you consider adding Balkon's Weapon Mod support? I know neither of those mods are in FTB, but I just think it is super cool that you make Balkon's weapons using Metallurgy's ores, and would love to see that come to life in 32x

    extra biomes xl keeps improving the "forge ore dictionary" compatibility of it's stuff, so expect to be able to use fir wood just about anywhere after an update or two.

    Bees are great fun. You need to craft a scoop. It is very easy, 1wool and 6 sticks. Break the beehives with the scoop (left click) to get some bees and possibly a comb of some kind. Bees don't stack, so you'll be grateful when you find your fifth comb because then you'll have enough to craft...

    Getting started with Feed the beast

    Well put. Personally, I want to hold off on using computercraft until I have the opportunity learn how it really works. I think recommending the same to new players is not a bad idea. If computercraft turtles were non-configurable machines that do what the downloadable tunneling program...

    Mining Turtles

    Interesting. So do you have the turtle carry both of these ender chests, plop down the fuel chest when running low on fuel, pull a bunch of fuel out of the chest, then pick up the chest again? Similarly, plopping down the items chests when running low on inventory space, waiting for a minute...

    Getting started with Feed the beast

    Again, it depends on the preferences of the user learning the mods. If you are comfortable with using computercraft as a "black box" you can build a mining turtle and type "excavate 9" or download a better program and run that. If instead you are the kind of player who wants to understand how...

    Getting started with Feed the beast

    Whether to use the first three diamonds for a mining turtle or to save up for a quarry, for a newer player, depends on how the player is planning to play computercraft. I am a programmer, so I'm planning on writing my own computercraft programs, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. If you...

    What is your favorite mod and whats mods do you want to see added to ftb

    Altriacraft is the same thing as swords+ I believe. Check it out. It is for the most recent version of minecraft, but is a WIP. Unfortunately, it looks like StarshadesJack is on hiatus, so his mod may not get finished in any kind of reasonable time frame. Oh well.

    Getting started with Feed the beast

    When going the ic2 route, I like to add in a few thermal expansion machines. First, I like to upgrade my generator to a geothermal generator + liquid transposer as soon as I can. I also spend an extra few minutes on rubber acquisition so I can make an early hazmat suit. Then I go back down into...

    Wow, I agree. The cool thing for me is that this sword system would complement Balkon's Weapons.

    Red Power 2 News

    This is great news! The 21st of December is not far away! I actually expected it would be a lot longer before Eloraam got around to releasing Red Power. Red Power is weeks, not months away!!! That makes me happy!

    It's not that Metallurgy is itself unbalanced - it isn't. It's more that the balance of all the other mods hinge on the availability/rarity of various ores. Metallurgy 2 by default overwrites the default spawn behaviour of vanilla ores. For one thing, it removes the height restrictions so you...
