The dw20 pack is probably closest to what you remember from 2 years ago. There have been lots of changes since. Magic world 2 is a good starting platform as many of those mods have in game documentation that helps a lot. There is also a good blood magic getting started guide stickied in the...

There is a tool that will let you check the suction level for each pipe. I don't remember what it was called though. Vis moves to the device with the highest suction, so if the two are equal, vis will move nowhere.

Optifine in AgS helped smooth out the little lag spikes I had and made walking around my base much smoother although it did introduce a few graphical glitches. It's worth a shot to see if it helps or hinders. If your lag is mainly due to render, Optifine will probably help. If it is TPS, it's...

Whoops, missed that. :oops:

No, I was actually talking about balance. But not true balance where each method has exactly the same "cost" to do a process, but that there is a balanced feel to the mod pack. (I know that this is subjective.) Going down a magical path to achieve your goals, or going down several of the...

You are right, it was. Sometimes I forget that there is a difference between FML and forge itself.

Yes. This is the reason.. My computer could never play the monster pack. It's just too many darn mods. With the slightly more focused packs, I have no issues running them. I personally have moved off of 1.6.4, and am running a custom 1.7.10 pack. I built this primarily due to the new...

I just saw a screenshot in the last couple days that forge is running on 1.8. I'm pretty sure it is a dev version, but it is there. :) But like you said, it will be months before the mods are out and working for it. 1.7.10 is just now becoming well supported by the modding community, and it...

I believe you have to scan a nether star to unlock warding? Maybe? It's Thaumcraft, so scan all the things. I don't have it unlocked in my world yet either, but I haven't defeated the wither. A few special unlocks are: bone - Bone bow Zombie Brain - brain in a jar wool - golem clothes

You could also make it a mushroom island single biome (in a void age). I believe the mushroom island biome disables most mob spawning.

I don't mind using a farm or bee powered power plant, but I've disliked using infinite loops. It has always seemed kinda cheesy. The few self sustaining loops I have messed with over the years always paled to the power output of my normal farms. It just wasn't worth it

The nodes must be within 8 blocks of the wand recharge pedestal. If you are on thaumcraft 4.2, nodes within 6 blocks of each other will bully the smaller nodes and rob aspects. To keep this from happening you will need to keep each node 7 blocks away from the others. 7 blocks is still in...

I just found out that a charged nitro creeper explodes almost instantly, and can kill you from quite a distance away even with full armor. Note to self: do not use lighting against nitro creepers. The bad thing with all of this it that it will require flight (or a whole lot of noob pillars...

Double check that you actually placed all the petals in the pedestal apothecary. I have had cases where I right-clicked the petal, and instead of throwing it in accidentally "planted" the petal in the ground behind the apothecary. If you place a block down in front of the apothecary, you...

Try looking in various directions with F3 up. There should be an entity count on the screen. It will show how many entities are in the direction you are looking. There is a limit to how many entities are allowed in game. If there are too many, New mobs won't spawn. Try going more than...

Normally, by the time you were able to make a fusion reactor, you didn't need it as you had other power generation methods up and running.

I just checked out a spotlight on flaxbeard's steam mod.. It is pretty cool. It definitely has the steampunk aesthetics and mechanics.

Back in my 1.5.2 world, I used wood in coke oven. The saplings got converted to biofuel, and that plus the charcoal and creosote oil powered 4 railcraft boilers. I ran my whole base off of the steam. In AgS, I used steam created by the high oven to power everything. So, I would have to...

This is one of those threads that really don't have a time limit. The ideas are still sound even if a few of the mods have changed. I would love to see a complete mod pack and corresponding texture pack that tweaks everything to fit the steam punk era. It would look awesome I am sure, but...

I built my AgS world out of seared stone using some standard grey bricks as an accent color. I really need to finish that world off instead of getting sucked into a new 1.7.10 one. It was nice and dark. I loved it.
