    Thaumcraft. The best and worst mod in existence.

    Yea, I didn't really know what versions were released when so that's why I referenced the mod-packs. Thanks! And yea, it spreads slowly but I still 'have' to deal with it eventually if I want to setup in a nice beautiful biome not far away. I've set the view distance on my server to 16 (I like...

    Help with Villager Behavior

    I don't think this is the most efficient way but it's the path I was on that lead me to 'generating' villagers. I created an MFR system for breeding, chronotyping and grinding? cows that also generated mob essence. I then had a bunch of this essence and tried to figure out what to do with it...

    Thaumcraft. The best and worst mod in existence.

    Good to know but it'd be 'nice' if it was officially endorsed and supported somehow. Otherwise, it feels like I'm going against the wishes of the mod developer and that just feels wrong. I know it really doesn't matter cause you can play how you want to play but I think the dev spent a...

    Thaumcraft. The best and worst mod in existence.

    I can definitely see how you don't like taint. In Monster, TC3?, it felt like taint was a worldgen mechanic that was introduced solely to force you into Thaumcraft and that kind of irked me. I built my base in the tropics because the view was gorgeous and then this purple shit took over the area...

    How to make vanilla tools useless?

    Well, that's either something the author didn't think of or something they weren't all that concerned about. I would guess that most players build things for themselves or give away less valuable picks to other players who are starting out. I wouldn't hand over my prized pick for someone else to...

    Connection Lost Timed Out - FTB Infinity

    I ran into this issue on 2 pc's connecting to my Infinity server. I'm running the latest version but I had to install Infinity and then 'force update' the Infinity install on both PC's. Basically, I installed it twice ... and then I stopped getting the timed out messages. Not sure what changed...

    How to make vanilla tools useless?

    Iguana Tweaks is just a different way of playing. It makes sense to me that as you use a tool, you get better at using it. After having played w/ and w/o Iguana Tweaks, I like both ways of playing but it would be nice, and maybe it's possible, to force Iguana Tweaks to 'not' assign random...

    Thaumcraft. The best and worst mod in existence.

    I tend to avoid TC also just because I'm tired of running around scanning everything again and again and again. I mean, the TC mod is huge and very well done but its a serious time investment. Having to go through the basics over and over if you're the kind of person that likes to start new...

    applied energestics

    My entire system is built around AE2 but I don't think AE2 is OP. It's certainly very nice to have and it's grown roots into almost every aspect of my base setup but I think the difficulty scales pretty well with the pacing of your game. In the early stages of your world, AE2 can be pretty...

    [1.7.10] TolkienCraft II - Adventure Awaits! - v2.9.5[QUESTS][ADVENTURE][NORMAL MODE]

    What's up w/ my hobbits? They're HUGE! April Fools joke? Also real question: where should we be building our bases. I built one in Bag End but from reading other posts, it sounds like you're going to continuously update middle earth. Will my stuff be lost? And if so, where 'should' I build my...

    FTB slow with proper hardware

    I would have to say that I've experienced the opposite.

    FTB slow with proper hardware

    Ha, yea, FTB/MC was flaking out when I tried running the Sphax x128 patch so I up'd the memory and I didn't feel like going bit by bit so I just dragged it far to the right and said "F*** it".

    Those ores I just never seem to find...

    There's a line in the config\powercrystals\netherores\common.cfg config: # If true, will spawn nether ores regardless of if a furnace or macerator recipe was found. If false, at least one of those two must be found to spawn the ore. B:ForceOreSpawn=true I believe that's set to 'false' by...

    FTB slow with proper hardware

    In Infinity w/ a Sphax x64 patch, my FPS can range anywhere from 70-150. If I run the GSLS Shaders mod w/ SEUS preview 2, I get 25-45fps. That's w/ a i7-4770k, gtx 970 and 10GB assigned to FTB/MC.

    Minecraft and Windows 10 Tech. Preview

    The main driver for me was OneNote. I used to keep a lot of notebooks around and I dabbled with recordable pens/paper/scanning/etc. OneNote on a Surface Pro is amazing. I could have gone with a stylus/laptop combo but the Surface was just the better all around device ... that matched 'my' needs.

    Minecraft and Windows 10 Tech. Preview

    Hmmm, they must have changed the functionality of the legacy explorer to exclude network drives. I'm sure someone will bring that up and ask for it to be fixed. Yea, the real value w/ 8.1 on my main pc was that I also had 8/8.1 on my Surfaces so ... it was kind of seemless moving from one device...

    Relax dude. I'm in the biz and know the risks. Went through the Win8 DP/CP ride on my production machine. Same s**t, different day.

    1.7 modpack performance

    Don't know if this matters but my performance was pretty crappy depending on what texture packs I was running and that's w/ a 4770k/r9 290. Are you running the vanilla textures, Soartex? I'm running Sphanx x64 w/ an infinity patch. I remember 'thinking' it was a texture pack problem because...

    That's good to know. I've been debating about installing 10 on my main pc.

    FTB Infinity 1.7.10 Help, Venting and Discussion Thread

    I used Kineses pipes with my big reactors and off of a steam dynamo. Just make sure to put a ... input pipe into the top of the dynamo and then u can use standard pipes from there out. As far as mods I've added: BetterStorage (for the backpacks), enhancedportals (out of need), armorstatushud...
