    Changelogs are usually available same day as an update, though occasionally it takes another day or two. When there are potentially world breaking changes in an update, they will usually put up a front page news post warning about the update (i.e. the Monster 1.0.3 update last month). For the...

    To elaborate on Tristam's point: to actually change a config look in .../[Modpack]/minecraft/config and look for the file named something similar to the mod you want to change. Open that file in notepad (or equivalent program) and start scrolling through. There will be a lot of stuff that...

    Spawn rate of anything in particular? Most ores can be tweaked in world.cfg in the cofh folder in your configs. If you're talking mobs, the easiest way to tweak spawn rates is to change the difficulty setting. If there's a specific mob from a certain mod giving you trouble, most of those can...

    A pernicious problem with GT for a long time has been the stalling out due to lack of energy indefinitely without manual intervention. About 10 months ago someone in the GT thread suggested making machines blow up if given insufficient power and Greg explicitly rejected the idea (source). It's...

    They shouldn't blow up on insufficient voltage, just stall. You probably have a crossed wire somewhere that's feeding too much power. If your machines are outside it's also quite possible they got rained on and exploded because of that.

    Does it slow down in a fresh world, or just your established one?

    I assume both types of diamond are registered as something like itemDiamond in the forge ore dictionary. Just add that to Lexicon_Whitelist.txt (in the cofh folder within the config folder) and it should become available. However, I don't recall needing industrial diamonds specifically for...

    Squeezers don't use liquid. They take solid items and squeeze them into liquid. For example apples make fruit juice and honey drops make honey.

    Turns a ton of blocks into ComputerCraft peripherals and adds a few really neat features like a programable HUD. If you don't use ComputerCraft much you're probably safe to remove it.

    You want the red one. The three modes are blue (put into chest), red (pull from chest), and forced disconnection.

    In 1.6.x IC2 changed dramatically including UU being converted to a liquid. You now have to scan an item with the scanner. That item is then saved in pattern storage. The replicator then uses that pattern and a variable amount of liquid UU to replicate that item. DW20 covered this a little in...

    IC2 sounds are controlled by IC2.cfg and IIRC are disabled in the default config for Ultimate. Just search for "sound" and change the appropriate line from "false" to "true."

    I don't recall any problems updating to versions of Unleashed past 1.1.3, but make a backup before updating just in case.

    FTB Unleashed Enderman Farm

    With a combustion engine powering the pipe, it has a range of 4 blocks. Placed in the center of the floor, it covers a 9x9 area. Also it sucks up stacks at a time, but I'm not sure how useful that is.

    btw, you only need 1 chest. Just have your hoppers feed into each other until they reach an output point.

    As I believe someone has already suggested, a grinder as your killing mechanism would work. Indeed, if you use some method of killing your endermen other than fall damage, your possibilities for cleaning up their drops are quite numerous. If you already have the drop trap set up, however, you...

    Yeah, I was just thinking of the biggest tree I could. Turned out to be a Sacred Oak from Biomes O' Plenty. They're actually pretty skinny trunks, but their branches are ridiculously far spreading.

    Assuming you've tried applying a redstone signal and then removing it and placing a block next to the piston to force a block update, my next step would be to whack the offending pistons with a wrench a few times to rotate them. At least, I assume it would work on an extended piston, I've never...

    This is indeed a vanilla problem usually do to funkiness with a server, though I'm unclear on the exact details. I believe adding a repeater in helps avoid this problem, though doesn't eliminate it. I've never seen it get that bad, though. Usually you'd only expect a handful of pistons to get...
