First, let me get the obligatory "idea/suggestion" out of the way: any plans on adding sounds dependent on the player's speed? Not only is it a bit weird that your footsteps make sounds like sprint flying in creative is silent as a whisper, adding a "speed sound" would also kick in naturally...

This, however, I like. The issue with blowing up machines I have is that it's kind of a newbie trap. Once you get over it, it's not a danger any longer, but "oh, I read the instructions" doesn't feel like an accomplishment (unlike figuring out your perfect layout). There isn't much gain from it...

My biggest problem with machine losses, especially of expensive machines, is that it merely punishes a lack of attention. People will quickly figure out to put a lower rated cable as "circuit breaker" in front of every machine, making it just added tedium. You don't get anything from a mechanic...

I think a big problem with many tech mods is the lack of actual new abilities in the game. One huge offender is, for example, ore processing: it doesn't change the game, it just gives you more stuff you essentially already have. It's just a time saver nothing more. Now, time savers are cool...

Another request for this one. Had a play with this for a bit and it's very neat. It's not too intrusive, works as utility mod (i.e. a very neat variation of the Mystcraft void ages people tend cheat it for bases) and fun for the exploration aspect as well.

Not to mention, having a giant tank of molten iron would be amazing. And probably quite convenient for transport, too.

I'm currently using the version with the integrated WiFi. It works very well for me, especially since it comes with a rather neat external antenna. However, I'd always recommend not going for WiFi and using a normal network connection via cable, always superior (I'm just stuck in rather annoying...

Ditto. Though, unless a lot cheaper, go for the P8Z77 versions, not for the Sabertooth. The latter looks better but the former a much better heatsink design instead of putting it underneath that plastic cover. Performance-wise, they're nigh-identical, though. There are also several version of...

This is important, the i7 is a good bit more expensive, but rarely ever utilised. Only and only get it if you're using very, very CPU-intensive applications that are multi-threaded (not games). This includes image and video editing (proper photoshop with large images) or transcoding video, like...

As I said, I never disputed that the mod makers are well within their rights to do what they do! I just see a marked difference in mod communities - for other games, you are not allowed to make money off your mods whatsoever, including paid link shorteners. In the Minecraft community...

Very much this. The Minecraft mod community repeatedly confuses me. I did lots of modding for other games, mostly doing 3D models (for Civ4, mostly) - and the mod community was entirely different. It was basically (short of one or two people) along the lines of "Feel free to use my stuff...

Since the warded glass just bugged me, I went ahead and quickly replaced it with an upscaled version of the standard thaumcraft version. As I was already editing the textures, I decided to recolour the totems as well to fit the colour of obsidian (I've attached a screenshot showing the...

The Thaumcraft warded glass texture is bugged, it shows up as non-transparent stone with transparent runes. The problematic texture in question is in ss_world.png, just right of the amber block and bricks. Nevertheless, big thanks, this pack is amazing.

Also, frames are really slow for an elevator. One of the points of an elevator is being at least as fast as using a ladder - frames aren't (not a slight against frames, they're brilliant, just not the most suitable thing for this job). For small elevators (let's say 1x1 to 3x3), there's really a...

Also, since it takes into account other mods (Universal Electricity, IC2, GregTech), it should fit right into any pack without many issues in terms of balancing (which seems to be the main difference between Direwolf20 and Mindcrack pack). And the option to colour the suit or make it transparent...

Not everybody we're playing with is fully computer-literate or has the time to deal with the multitude of steps involved in Minecraft modding (it's not even about being hard, just the effort etc.). FtB looks very nice, because it means almost no messing with files etc. and fetches the correct...

Yeah - which was exactly the big hope we had for custom packs, that we could have a simple server setup all of our friends can join easily. Needing full permissions makes it easier to just pre-package it ourselves and host it on our server, without the comfort of the FtB launcher. What we'd...

I just wish we'd get clarification on whether this is intentional or merely an oversight, since it's a bit annoying to modify the modpack (as opposed to the "works out of the box" experience). o_O

When you have NEI open, click on the "Options" button and switch from "Cheat Mode" to "Recipe Mode".

True, gases, too - probably quite appropriate in the case of Helium-3, Deuterium, Hydrogen and so on. Essentially, everything that's more of a homogenous, amorphous mass instead of a distinct block/item.
