    About the Custom Packs! :)

    Good news everyone, someone made a spreadsheet showing what mod authors want you to do to get their mods on your modpacks. Most mods thankfully just want aknowledgement and links to their thread/wiki, and a few want to be asked. spreadsheet

    About the Custom Packs! :)

    a piece of the pie? Even the most popular modmakers like Eloraam only make enough to run their webisites and have a bit of lunch money left over. Mod makers make their mods for fun, and if they don't approve of a modpack, then they are fully in their rights to not let their mod be in it...

    Nuclear vs Solar... dafuq?

    I've given considerable thought to this, and I've come to the conclusion that the mod solars are okay cost wise, but their problem is that they're only one block. So instead of hundreds of lag inducing regular solars needed to match one nuclear reactor, now people build hundreds of HV solars...

    About the Custom Packs! :)

    Not quite. You only suggest a public, private, and default permission levels. My post added the ideas of an official FTB system to give FTB modpack authors a way to ask for permission that won't be deleted as spam, and proposes the idea of an authentication system, which would solve many...

    About the Custom Packs! :)

    *Edit* As I've discovered, the 'where's the any button' effect is still alive and well with computer users. There are just some people who, despite writing a step by step series of instructions, and even pointing to a youtube video that shows every step, can't figure out how to do this. Then...

    About the Custom Packs! :)

    Best way to get a private modpack approved will be to make a youtube series about one of the standard modpacks. Once your a somebody, then the mod authors will give you the time of day to approve your custom modpack.

    About the Custom Packs! :)

    Basically, the private modpack option is completely useless. Because really, how the hell is anyone supposed to get permission from some of these authors like Eloraam who only communicate directly with the community every couple of months or so? What if I want to use the Direwolf pack, but...
