    [FTB Monster] - Biofuel/Ethanol/Biomass Help - Saplings and Cacti Farm [HELP]

    A way back I did built some Forestry multiblock farms (er a year ago?) and liked all the tinkering. It seems like MFR has entirely replaced Forestry for biofuel production? I can see MFR is more efficient and needing appatite for forestry is quite limiting. Anyone currently generating biofuel...

    ATG

    Agreed re flat ground. For my this is generally a bonus although it would be nice to see some larger meadows/savannah. Haven't noticed an seriously incongruous biomes. Random overlapping biomes in past packs was pretty abstract.

    ATG

    i5 overclocked to 4.2 GHz, gtx560ti overclocked, 8gig ram (3gig assigned to java). Never noticed any lag :D just awesome scenery with Soartex fanver textures edit: I note how remarkably stable ftb monster is, if you have the PC for it, which is amazing for so many mods - cudos to the ftb team

    slime islands

    My 1st thought was I need a chunk loader for my base (your know for crops and machines) In previous packs I had the redpower2 athame which made getting ender pearls as easy as killing pigs. I then thought perhaps I can catch endermen with a safari net and put them in a box before killing...

    ATG

    The ATG with BoP and Highlands in the Monster Pack (generate world as "ATG-Alternative") is the most immersive world I have ever inhabited in minecraft. I was wondering around my world for an hour last night with Journey map on just spellbound. I can understand why OP may not like various...

    playing FTB Monster, ATG-alternative world gen. Looking for TiCo slime islands and finding none? do they generate in ATG? if so how commonly? I need to make sure the mini maps setting for "transparency" is enabled yes? look up - are they easy to spot? What I really want to do is use single...

    I have big reactors, reactorcraft, ic2, gregtech, and a few other mods

    What is the time/materials requirement ranking for each of the mods systems? what is the fiddliness ongoing running effort/materials costs ranking? And this is really subjective - fun to effort ratio? I have played a few modpacks over the last 1.5 years on and off but never got around to...

    Monster pack: which map type?

    Just to get this straight: In FTB Monster (2 weeks ago?) I used "ATG-alternative" as the terrain generator because my understanding was this was the only way to get ATG, BoP and Highlands to all generate including all the biomes. I assumed that default was just Highland +BoP? I have a great...

    Enabling blood magic after world creation?

    Started FTB Monster, after 8 months absence from Minecraft, with the default setting of Blood Magic disabled. Looks worth having though? If I now enable it is there any issue? I doesn't look like it adds anything to world gen? And why is it default disabled anyway?

    Rage Quit

    I used to build my own extensive mod packs, slowly and painfully researching and methodically changing IDs as I loaded mods....then I would find things such as: nearest solo chicken 3km away a billion villages spawning on a mountain top and running across the sky bloody centipedes taking over...
