    Questions on gates and inventories

    Ultimate pack, 1.4.7 I'm new to gates and don't fully understand their behavior. I don't understand how they trigger on the different states. Scenario #1: I have a barrel of wood and a sawmill 4 blocks away (feeding a boiler). In between is transport pipe with a gate on each end and red...

    Post your starting strategies

    Similar thread here. I like Darkguhl's suggestions, although I disagree with the Magmatic engines. (I am the contributor a few posts later that mentions magmatic's being bad, in my opinion) http://feed-the-beast.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:13957

    Charge Pads: Can they be kept on?

    Could you just trap a mob on top of it to keep it triggered all the time then?

    Best automated tree farm?

    You don't need the solar engine on SC. The coal engine runs just fine off wood and saplings. Just set the cargo manager to both unload and reload everything from all slots. It will automatically put saplings in the sapling slot and a mix of saplings and wood in the engine slot. The solar...

    Best automated tree farm?

    I personally like the SC farm. Completely self sustaining, easy to expand or disable if needed, and it provides more than enough for my 36hp boiler plus fermenter plus diesel generator setup. I think the MFR route is great too but I like how you can setup the SC solution with no power needs.

    Recommended LP series for ultimate?

    I watched a few minutes of a few of his clips at random and it seems to be exactly what I was looking for. His voice is also good quality and not annoying or boring :) Thanks!

    Recommended LP series for ultimate?

    I'm looking for a LP series that uses the default recommended Ultimate pack. (1.4.7 I think?) I remember a thread a while back of recommended youtubers but I don't know which ones are using the default Ultimate pack. For example, I saw Grumpy had a series but he has GregTech disabled. I like...

    What is your favorite mod?

    Gregtech. I like having goals that extend the game. It's a personal choice. I can definitely see why some people hate GT. But I love it.

    8 things I learned after my first FTB world

    Agreed. I meant this post as lessons for myself to follow in my next FTB world, not necessarily as generic advice to everyone. If others play like me, then perhaps my comments could be useful. But that's the wonderful thing about FTB - there's several ways to play and several ways to...

    8 things I learned after my first FTB world

    First post. Ultimate pack, recommended version. (1.4.7 I think?) I know 1.6 is coming out Soon(tm) and I'm taking a break from my first FTB world and doing a retrospective on what I learned. I'm also seeking advice/tips from the FTB community. Things I learned... 1) Start with a quartz...
