    How to get started with FTB?

    Doubling? How about fully automated Thermal Expansion machines connected to AE quadrupling ores. How about a reactor and turbines putting ut over 100K rf/t. How about Draconic Evolution summoning ender dragons, fighting Chaos Dragons that you have to travel 10K blocks to find and can kill...

    Wait, I'm limited to 90 minutes of playtime?

    Thanks. Downloading now. Out of morbid curiosity.

    Offline FTB play revisited. Again.

    I tried a couple things this morning, deleting and re-downloading FTB launcher and made sure I was logged in to vanilla minecraft on it's launcher. I can play vanilla offline. I have enabled remember token and password in the FTB launcher. Despite that, I still get the popup that says my login...

    How to get started with FTB?

    There are many youtube tutorials out there, I've watched several, but I would put Direwolf20 at the top of the list simply because he does such a good job explaining things clearly. Until you get deeper into some of the mods, any of his beginning episodes of Lets Play will give you the basic...

    Sigh, well, this degenerated quick lol. I need to lay off the coffee I think. In any event still looking for answers/suggestions.

    FTB Horizons: Daybreaker Discussion

    I would second progressive automation. Its good early to mid. Wooden generator puts out 20K rf. Stone 40K. Havent gotten to iron. Chopper works pretty good as do farmer and miner. Being able to semi automate early on the cheap is pretty cool. Drawers are an awesome storing and sorting mod...

    FTB Horizons: Daybreaker Discussion

    Spent a whole day (real time) yesterday exploring looking for villages. My base is surrounded by taiga and roofed forest thousands of blocks in each direction. Neither biome seems to have any villages. The only place I seem to find them so far is desert or adjacent to desert, usually in savannah...

    Offline FTB play revisited. Again.

    Both of my homes are in remote mountain areas that are off the grid, as in generating my own electricity with solar, wind and generator filling a 1200 amp hour bank of 12 L16HD 6 volt batteries that weigh 120 lbs each, wired in series and parallel to make 24 volts, that is then inverted to...

    FTB Horizons: Daybreaker Discussion

    I have not graduated to using sorting pipes at all yet. My farm is still seperate from animals etc. Chopper is piped into basement vanilla furnace making charcoal to feed gens. Miner is feeding drawers via ender chest. All piping is XU. I'll probably keep everything as simple as possible with XU...

    FTB Horizons: Daybreaker Discussion

    I have lost several things in various situations, crashed, relogging and an enire mod disappeared when I updated (a chest mod). I haven't noticed any missing aluminum, but I also haven't used any since I started playing Horizons, maybe I should check.

    Offline FTB play revisited. Again.

    So I had a power outage today and thought no biggee, I'll just FTB Minecraft on. Wrong. I checked and I've selected save token and password. So apparently FTB is still not working offline. I didn't get a chance to check vanilla to see if it works, but thats irrelevant to this discussion/rant. I...

    FTB Horizons: Daybreaker Discussion

    Ok I did some further investigation and it appears the forced update did not install the most recent update to the mod which is 1.7.10-1.6.27. I downloaded and installed the correct jar file and now you can use the wrench and an input such as pipe or hopper to feed tools into the machines. They...

    FTB Horizons: Daybreaker Discussion

    They closed the issues, but did not resolve them. And no further details were given on the github. I did a forced update and I'm currently running the newest version 1.7.10 and the tool input issues are still there. The mod is basically broken at this point since you are now required to...

    The systems I've seen using the lava gen are creating steam using MFR I think to run big reactor turbines.

    Minor IndustrialCraft2 power issues I need help with...

    Generally the banks of generators are simply the way to power the means to the end, which is the solar. In this case that is a lot of power requirement. Fortunately you are playing Unleashed, not Infinity, where the hybrids were nerfed to require both types of Iridium.

    What does YOUR Power Room look like?

    This is Big Reactors, Not IC. :D

    Minor IndustrialCraft2 power issues I need help with...

    Big reactors and turbines have enabled being able to power systems that use well over 100K rf/t. It's amazing how easy it is to create that kind of demand for power, giant AE CPU and autocrafting monstrosities come to mind and sending thousands of EU to remote networks through quantum rings. And...

    Minor IndustrialCraft2 power issues I need help with...

    No need to feel like an idiot. I used to spend hours trying to get the best efficiency out of water mills. :/ Talk about an exercise in futility. :D Then trying to keep multiple turtles and some generators fed with coal. It hadn't even dawned on me to use charcoal, I don't even think I knew...

    magmatic dynamo

    I need to look into that then. I'm finding that not having known mods and unfamiliarity has slowed my game down considerably.
