    A few questions about mod packs

    I've only played one or two mod packs, so I can't give you an answer, but I will ask you what type of mods do you like playing? Do you have a preference over the magic types compared to the industry types? That may allow others to give you a better answer.

    MFR Question : Can I do something that will .....

    Could you do it with TE Ducts? could you set one up to extract, send it a redstone signal to pull the item out, and then you dump whatever you want to use in another chest that is then inserted?

    Do you want this so you can then place them and hammer them to get more? or just so you can smelt them? All levels of Ores can be smelted in an TC Smeltery, and then made into blocks or ingots. I made a large smeltery, and had a single pipe out going to 9 casting basins which then had their...

    Best rewards gotten in early game Agrarian Skies.

    I got some horse armour last night. Diamond Horse Armour, with Sharpness V, wow, that is going to be so handy...

    This is no longer as bad, but it was a problem for a while. Take a drink every time you hear his phone receive a message

    I Derp, You Derp, We all Derp, What's your's?

    The road block allows you to walk/run really fast, so if you land on it, it tends to shoot you off in the direction you were travelling, which more often than not is into the void.

    Terraria and Starbound spring to mind, they have Minecraft Roots.

    I suspect that decent power generation is going to be a challenge in this map in general. I know that in my normal minecraft game (I tend to play DW20's modpack), that buildcraft fuel and a railcraft boiler tends to be my end goal. That really isn't an option here, I did see that there is the...

    Agrarian 'Derp' Skies

    Given that your ability to gather base resources goes up once you get your first autonomous activator, even 7 emeralds/diamonds aren't that hard to get. I suppose the only advantage of that as a cost, is that by the time you have the resources to spend on it, they may not be super beneficial.

    Agrarian 'Derp' Skies

    I think that the mods that are there for automation are good right now, simple things like obsidian pipes would make early automation easier, but they're pretty cheap. While a vacuum hopper can do the same, but they cost an ender pearl which is a bit harder to get early game. While some mods...

    Agrarian 'Derp' Skies

    This wasn't quite a derp, but it was close. I finally got enough cobblestone to get my bucket of lava, so I had to create the cobble gen. I was in the platform world, and I'd expanded the platform quite a bit with wood. I'd made a section off to the side with stone brick (I'd got that through a...

    Here's one that's probably been mentioned. A heavy object holding down a mouse button is indistinguishable from you holding down the mouse button. I know that automating sieving and gravel/sand/dust production is one of the first things that is done, but it's still necessary at first.

    Here's another one I thought of. Every time he goes "Hmmm, I thought I had one of <x>", while looking in in an inventory that contains the exact item he's looking for.

    Direwolf20 Drinking Game

    OK, so really irresponsible I know. I did think about this a while ago, but never really got around to posting it. So what are the rules. Simple you take a drink anytime any of the following happen. - He says "cool" - He says "nice" - He builds a 9x9 - He does a "direderp", 2 drinks if he...

    In my new map right now, I'm waiting for it to rain. In my first map, I'll admit that I got impatient and just used NEI to turn the rain on. Early game, this is probably the most annoying thing. What do others do to solve this? I'm thinking of building a simple mob farm that will allow mobs to...

    Agrarian 'Derp' Skies

    I was expanding my smeltery which I was pouring all of my dusts etc through to double. While I'm not just dumping everything in there, I did have a single output that was going to 9 casting basins that were controlled by whitelists on the TE Ducts. All was going well until I went to do the last...

    Hmm... I'll have to try again. I've started a new map (going for the skyblock this time). I'll have another shot. I've got some nets in the water and trying to hang around there enough that I'll hopefully get some fish. As a side note, which is annoying, I'm playing on Linux, and the first two...

    How do you craft the fish feeder for the breeding of fish in Mariculture? I tried to craft one as per the recipe in NEI, but it didn't work. I'm basically looking for an easy way to get leather, so I wanted to get cod fish and process them.

    MystCraft anyone?

    Yeah, I just created a single biome desert oil field world. That said, I have a minor niggle with it. I tried to create it to be eternal day, so I put in Zero Length, Zenith, Normal Sun. I've created 3 now, and all three have the sun at either Dawn or Dusk (I didn't check the direction). I...

    Is it me, or do some people not "get" that FTB and its mods are free ?

    I remember when there was a big delay for RP2 coming out, and I saw a certain amount of hate levelled at Eloraam about it. People were annoyed that she wasn't prepared to share her code, was slow in updating it etc. It was annoying that we were waiting on a single mod, but I recognised that she...
