    Forge: My list of grievances

    Honestly most parts of the forum should be like this except for some offtopic-areas. A forum is a roman invention and was used for cultural and political exchange or for creating great personalities if you play Civ. In forum you normally trade ideas, view-points etc. it is the purpose of it...

    Equivalent Exchange has to go.

    Still the argument is totally stupid. The FTB-Modpack is a Modpack designed to work with the FTB-Maps. The FTB-Maps simply require EE in some form to work. Done. And honestly it isn't any worse than UUM. There are some abuses left with Pulverizers, which you could actually change in the...

    Feed The Beast - Redpower and 1.5.x

    Just for your interest: Slow never said they release the pack on April the 29th, he said they plan to release it, when all the mods are in a state to do so... and they aren't. A lot of mods still have issues, exspecially when combined together.

    Hosting a Ultimate FTB server and need a hand with the Gregtech config

    The only thing you might look into is non-GregTech configs. I'm pretty sure GregTech is in hardmode by standard. But the fun thing is that it makes no sense to have GregTech in Hardmode while TE is not. So I would suggest making TE hardmode too, since Lemming added similar crazy recipies for his...

    burned out, help?

    Well I try to get all the Mystcraft-Pages at this point :P After about... well I started as the new Mystcraft was released and I'm not even close to done. And well... I normally don't automate much of my production and I do a lot of exploration, exspecially with Twilight Forest. And beating...

    Forestry 2.0-why?

    Well the problem was having not enough apples for the still that consumes the wheat. If you use wheat for biofuel going with an orchard is propably the better idea. Compared to Steves Carts the farms are clearly weaker in terms of maintanance but they require far less space. And they aren't that...

    Why i hate Xycraft

    The Crystal problem is based in Minecraft. The Crystals are just like fences, they don't cover a whole block and have a lot of surfaces to render, which is not optimal for MC right now, hopefully 1.5 and later optimization fixes that. Also the different MetaData is a bug, I think XyCraft not...

    Which is the REAL FTB modpack?!?

    They never said it will be released in 1-2 weeks. They said that they hope that all the mods they want to include are stable in about 1-2 weeks. And March 1st is very early, I expected them to release Ultimate at Pax East, since it would be the best solution PR wise, but I guess they want the...

    Best way to locate a certain biome?

    Well I know that problem. I searched for a plains biome to do certain bee-breeding. And I stumpled upon an green plain area... and it was a shrubland -.-. I know there are several tools for biome, stronghold, village etc. detection for vanilla MC but I have yet to find one that works with...

    Pulverizer is better than Macerator In GregTec

    Can't hobbyists explode if they run out of water? So you either have to refill them permanently or build another machine (pump or accumulator). At even with all these arguments there is one argument that makes me never drop IC2. Rubber is propably the best material to make golems due to having...

    Which Mod Causes Thee Most Lag

    Actually Redpower in general is not particularly friendly lagwise. It causes tons of chunkupdates, not only with Relays and Timers. Also Quarries cause a lot of problems (but not for a single person, but they stress servers). The thing is there are 3 things that work a bit differently: 1...

    A mod idea...

    Well the first thing you might want to do is to check what a village should be able to do. While Miner would be a nice job, the question still exists if villagers should be allowed to mine. Also it would make sense to create mechanics that actually create some economy. So there are some...

    Can someone explain this?

    It is enough. The save file also includes the data for TC3-Research, EnderStorages, Bee-Data etc. The only thing that is not stored there, but also not affected by the Crash are Reis Minimap-Waypoints. They are stored within the mods-folder.

    New Forestry 2.0 Farm Blocks aare a PITA

    Mystcraft^^. Well based on how fertilizer works there could be other sources for it, but Apatite is pretty common, even more if you mine it with Fortune. Based on that criticism XyCraft basically is the most experimental Mod on ForgeCraft. The Green Plant-Growth-Blocks are well... not sure...

    Is the pattern for Obsidian from EE3 intended

    The proper FTB-Server-Pack will have EE3 in it. Well at least some off them. Not sure what you would call Magic, Technic and Lite, which are dedicated server-packs. Also you change Iron into Diamonds... but since the usage-ratio for iron to diamond is higher than 32:1 you actually do something...

    Redpower 2 Covers (Lighting Issues)

    Mobs can't spawn on covers. Mobs can only spawn on solid blocks, also they do not obstruct the view of the sky, which makes it possible to build solars over each other, if you stack Covers with Solars on top. Most of this is a requirement for them all being in the same blockID and exspecially...

    Bee Traits

    Ender are pretty easy if you have a link-book back home :P With a following link-book sneaking in to grab some bees is pretty easy. Adjust their Flower-requirement and you are ready to get their serum by producing some drones (well... depending on which Version you are using, since in newer...

    An idea to prevent Nether lava exploitation

    Well thinking about ForgeCraft it can't create too much lag. There biggest tps-drops come from quarries and redpower. And on ForgeCraft basically every single person pumps the nether dry. And I don't had any problems with it myself, every over method of gathering or producing the same amount of...

    Bee Traits

    Some Bees I found usefull so far: LIfespan: Ancient -> Longest Ender, Austere -> Longer Productivity: Cultivated -> Fast Territory: Ender -> 11x8x11 Pollinating: Rural (not sure how fast, but they are the fastest, I think Imperial are also good) Tolerance: Rocky -> Tolerate Rain...
