    [Suggestions] The Ultimate Defense (Offline included)

    Live in the Nether. Go about 10k blocks from nether 0,0 (so 80,000 overworld) and build with Warded blocks. Hell, you probably don't even have to do this, nobody goes that far in the nether anyway. You can safely make a bedrock level portal back to the overworld when you need resources, and if...

    Rolling Machine

    Nowadays this is a bad idea since using milk burns through the lava now. Use a magmatic engine instead if you've got lava.

    Nyan Cat or whatever you call it in launcher

    Yeah those were the first mods that I removed. For me, they bring nothing to the game and are just there to add bloat and lag in my opinion.

    Which Mod Causes Thee Most Lag

    FPS lag? I'm gonna have to say any mod that you go crazy insane with in a single area, (IC2 cables, Buildcraft pipes, Railcraft's cart train sounds for some(if your sound is on), pretty much any large amount of custom rendering in an area, or thaumcraft's graphic effects). Redpower has a...

    Red Wood Log Facades

    Are you using the 2x2 redwood logs, or the 1x1 (the 1x1 is like a normal log)? Or can only one of those be facade converted?

    Tunnel boring machine not running when I'm away from it

    Does putting an anchor cart on a track connected to a frame/panel work?

    [16x] The Painterly Addon Pack!

    I've got Gregtech blocks about 90% skinned and the items are 99% done. If you would like to pack those in until A) you get the time to replace them with your own art or B) you like them and decide to keep them, I'll upload em here. Default gregtech isn't the most.. visually pleasing mod out...

    What if you could use only one mod?!

    Terrafirmacraft or BTW, and I'll tell you why: These two mods are a game of their own. While you can play minecraft with just RP, or IC2, or something else, the entire experience is given by TFC and BTW.

    Do not understand fuel

    You don't need to can your fuel to burn it in the Diesel Generator; you can pipe it in directly via waterproof buildcraft pipes, redpower fluid tubes, or thermal expansion liquiducts.

    Oil transfering

    I remember an episode of DW's server series where he used a Liquid Transposer/Pump, and had a CC Turtle go and grab stacks of the oil at a time, and come back to base via GPS and deposit his goods.

    [16x] The Painterly Addon Pack!

    I'll think about uploading my pack (It's got everything the Mindcrack hardcore pack has except GUIs complete) if we don't see any updates within the week. Texturing isn't a quick job (his work is pretty damn good), Paragon probably has some life stuff going on.

    Convince me to use Mod X - My balanced mod pack attempt.

    You can reuse those standard casings for other multi-block machines, namely the bottom and top of the Industrial Grinder. (although you can hook up 4 grinders to one structure). And you don't have to replace all of them, the blast furnace lets you mix and match casings.

    Nuclear vs Solar... dafuq?

    To FullMetalFox, if you've got a fusion reactor, solars are smalltime (they output 32k+ eu/t). Now, ACQUIRING said reactor is a whole different beast... Solars aren't inherently broken (well, their output could do well to be at least halved), Advanced/Compact solars are. The downside of solars...

    Max MJ's Per Tick for a Quarry?

    If you use Energy Conduits you won't lose those 2 per tick (you still lose 5% though for using conduits)

    Nuclear vs Solar... dafuq?

    I'll always have a soft spot for nuclear... If I have fun building and designing my own reactors, labs, breeder batteries, it's worth more to me than a boring old solar panel. For efficiency, it's definitely solar panels unfortunately. Free running, mindless, boring solar panels.

    0 Chamber breeder reactor help

    Here's an EXTREMELY simple setup for an auto-refilling breeder reactor (get the most out of your fuel rods!) http://i.imgur.com/e6cP4.png The sorting machine is pretty much only there for auto-extracting (you can use a filter/timer for this), there's re-inriched uranium cells in the slot, so it...

    Liquid Glass

    You actually get a bonus when you use this method; one gear requires about 3.75 ingots instead of 4. In long production chains they're quite good.

    Liquid Glass

    Put glass, glass panes, or sand in the top left slot of the Thermionic Fabricator. Give it power (1-2 MJ/t) and it heats up and melts the glass for use in crafting circuit tubes. It's not actually a real liquid, you can't pipe it around and such.
