    What the Heck is This?

    The gaunlet doesn't impress me, the mod DW spotlighted a bit ago looks far better. The power system is meh... Just more fluff. I cannot stand the textures he uses for his blocks, I also got tired of being spammed with them... My worlds have been infested with ore. In my most recent world I...

    The most underused starting strategies?

    First 2 hours for me are strictly sea level exploration. Looking for villages, tc dungeons, areas with animal populations, potential base locations, cactus/reeds, pumpkins, all that kind of stuff. I then waypoint the important areas. Then I spend about the same amount of time caving. My...

    What the Heck is This?

    You can't even compare anything to the uselessness of Xycraft.

    Difference between DW20 Pack & Mindcrack Pack?

    The mods they contain. That is the only difference. Basically it's Greh tech, train craft, no mystcraft, no EE3, There are also some other differences in the mods, but I cannot think of them off the top of my head.

    That is a wisp from Thaumcraft 3.

    An idea to prevent Nether lava exploitation

    Can we seriously stop with the annoying fixes for things that aren't broken? This is a game not real life, not everything needs a balance, nerf, update, or what ever you want to call them. Serious question, how does someone overusing lava as a form of power affect you? If you want it changed...

    induction smelter

    Gtech probably made it so you need 649 diamonds, 48 nether stars, and some other ridiculous items...

    Good Looking Blocks

    I am partial to the marble and Basalt bricks. You also have the Xycraft blocks, but imo it makes your house look like a disco from the 70's. If you like wood, forestry adds a bunch of colored wood planks. I think many of them are part of the tree breeding. I haven't gotten much into that...

    Let me tell you 'bout Minechem

    "the amount of game breaking that came from EE2" That is only true for those who never heard the word self control. Just because something is exploitable doesn't mean it needs to be exploited. I wish I had the skill to port EE2 to 1.3.2+ I would do so and release it. EE3 is horrible...

    U.S. Gov't advising PC users to disable Java - Attack

    This part made me smile, Linux and Mac users always have their noses in the air and think they can't be attacked. The truth is they are wrong.

    Technic Team releases Tekkit Lite

    Why do we even need to discuss another mod pack? Is there really a point? This should be deleted... It does not help anyone with the modpack this site was made for...

    Single Player Lag

    If you are using BC pipes, make sure you are not overloading your system. If you do they will spill over causing major lag in that area.

    Any way to know what mods add what ores?

    There are a couple of different versions, using the launcher makes it very easy to add and remove them, unlike before where you basically had to rebuild your jar each time. I would recommend trying each one starting with the basic or Light I think it is, see how things perform. Each version...

    Any way to know what mods add what ores?

    Have you tried using the mod Optifine? It has the potential to really help with the FPS issues and overall performance. Also with optifine you have more options to turn things off and lessen the amount of resources they use, things like setting the grass from default to "fast", it adds a ton...

    Is there a way to avoid constant rolling machine drain?

    ^ Do that, once you understand how they work, you will smile.

    Etho's FTB LP

    I think the words balance and overpowered are the epitome of annoying cliches... I don't play a game for balance... I play to have fun. Truth is none of us are forced to use any mod. There has already been a very fun mod ruined because nitwits cried about it being OP, as if you really had to...

    Institutional Hypocrisy: FtB's role in infringing Mojang's copyright.

    Explained clearly in their TOS, it states that their game/code may not be altered and/or redistributed in any way. I found it funny that "the other pack" was labeled stolen. The truth is anything not created by Mojang for this game is technically illegal. Now that I have played devil's...
