    Forge Lexicon Exploits

    I don't believe that basalt cobble should be included in that list, but brick/smooth/pavers ARE interchangeable, correct?

    Difference between Torch, Sulfur Torch and Aluminum Torch?

    The Sulfur goo acts as bonemeal and also as red dye, and the Sulfur/aluminum torches give off a greater light level than normal torches.

    Your dream modpack?

    mindcrack, with GT hardmode disabled, and Extrabiomes 3 and openCCsensors. Chargepads might be nice too, I haven't had a chance to use them yet so I don't know how much I'd actually need them, but they definitely look convenient.

    RC boilers help please?

    The thing with steam boilers is that they take a while to heat up. At the beginning, they will burn through fuel very quickly while producing little steam to output to engines. however, once they are fully heated they are very fuel efficient, significantly more so than combustion engines (liquid...

    Question about forestry biomass

    Well, at this point it's a net positive since you don't actually get those 6 extra at the moment from the saplings, since you can't use them. of course, you could always get a barrel and store them until they work in the fermenter.

    How to create clean double slab?

    the old smoothstone slabs that looked sort-of like marble.(as in, light-colored stone, not the marble from RP2) the double slab was two stacked on top of each other to form a full block. EDIT for the sake of clearing something up: in the current version of the both the Mindcrack DW pack stone...

    Optifine for DW20 Pack?

    I've been using the 1.4.6 version perfectly fine, that should work for you as well.

    glass blowing in minecraft mod

    Mostly aesthetic value from colored glass blocks or items but maybe (if this doesn't replace the vanilla method) increased output of glass/glass objects (for example, maybe several pieces of glass per sand, but other types of glass require more or less sand or other materials) I can imagine...

    EE3 is already broken!

    Well, in this case "real world logic" does apply. It doesn't have to necessarily, but that's not up to us to decide, it's up to the mod makers.

    EE3 is already broken!

    And yet, that's exactly what they are - Irreversible processes. you can't turn one material into energy and back without adding something else -- even in the case of blaze rods, you need to supply the energy for maceration, as well as the initial cost of creating a generator and macerator.

    Geothermal Generator + The Nether

    On my server, We've been running pretty much our entire energy net off of geothermal draining the nether - It's definitely scalable, all we needed was a few more tank carts running through the loop to carry lava through faster.

    Direwolf20 pack and BioGas Engines

    I ran into a similar problem on an FTB server with magmatic engines. I discovered that if the power line is not fully chunkloaded (that is, if one end of the line is and the other is not) the power will build up until the line is refreshed (by breaking and replacing). moving the crucible closer...

    EE3 is already broken!

    I suppose the point is that this is MUCH easier to build than a set of tier 5 skeleton spawners. 4000 skeleton kills? that's a significant amount of time, even if you get them from a found-in-the-world skeleton spawner or darkroom. A minium stone can be attained within the first hour of...

    Mindcrack vs Direwolf20s Server Opinions

    ultimate pack hasn't been released yet, it'll have all the ftb mods in it. The mindcrack pack is only the mods on the mindcrack server.

    The new pack + game performance.

    Not sure if it would fix server lag...are you connecting to the server, or hosting it? also, what are you getting for lag? I was just getting framerate drop and stuttering but if you're getting block lag that's probably a different issue.

    The new pack + game performance.

    This was my problem as well, thanks! as soon as I disabled it, the frame drops I was getting (about 1/2 a second of frames every 3-4 seconds) disappeared completely. now, if only the intel IGC I have would let me disable vsync...It lets me allow the application to choose, but I can't find how...

    RP2 release- thoughts after watching DW coverage.

    Yes, Elo does all the graphics herself. She's very good at it, too...certainly better than me, at least.

    RedPower2 pre6 crash?

    I suggest putting the Forge error log up on pastebin and linking that, as it'll likely give more detail on what went wrong than the mojang one will.

    Remove Extrabiomes

    Um...not exactly a descriptive title there. It makes it sound like you're trying to get XB removed from FTB. in any case, yes it's possible to launch a server without XB (or any of the mods you don't want for that matter). you should be able to select the pack, push the "edit mods" button and...

    Ways to improve FPS?

    yeah, IIRC forge now has built-in HD texture compatability (hooray for no MCpatcher/optifine required)
