Once it has been successfully enabled, it will only affect newly generated chunks. So go explore (or teleport) outside the bounds of the chunks that you've already explored. Note that you are likely to see chunk borders - huge walls where old chunks meet up with new chunks. If you want it to...

I noticed blue slimes randomly taking 1 pt of damage when nothing is hitting them and was curious why. They don't take fall damage, and they don't seem to drown. Is it exposure to sunlight, or is it a time-based thing? Anyone know anything about this?

Thanks, that was the problem. Strange, I would have expected White to clear the color, but whatever.

I've never used the Painter before, and I heard you could use it to color EU Glass Fibre Cables, e.g. to prevent them from connecting. Is this still a thing, or was this removed in 1.1.4? Because I'm not able to figure it out. I made a painter (2 iron, 3 wool, looks like a paint roller), and...

The dupe was: Construct a TiC pick. Add auto-smelt. Add fortune III (lapis). Put down block of ingot (e.g. Block of Gold). Mine block with pick. Obtain 27 ingots. It's caused because TiC auto-smelt uses the smelting recipe, and GT changes the smelting recipe - or something like that...

You say you added gregtech to Unleashed. Isn't there a known incompatibility where you can duplicate just about any ore/ingot between Tinker's Construct and GregTech?

Carrying over inventory is possible, if Digital allows it (it's simply a matter of copying over your player.dat file). RP Micro-blocks will be gone, but it has been replaced by ChickenBones' Micro-blocks. Most of the redpower stuff has alternatives that are in Unleashed/Direwolf20_1.5

The comment was "the download [of 1.1.3] is over twice the size of 1.1.2" You suggested it was the Hats mod, but the Hats mod already existed in 1.1.2, so unless it was greatly expanded between 1.1.2 and 1.1.3, it would not double the size.

Hoff: Hats mod existed in 1.1.2. Skullywag: Just a sneak preview, I'm sure, for those of us who want the lastest bleeding-edge. Once it's polished up they'll push it into Recommended. Or they might realize it was a horrible idea and skip right into 1.1.4. Whatever the case, I haven't noticed...

What I find really goofy is that it's doubly disabled. First, you have to drag it over into the modpack yourself. Then, once it's in, you have to generate a world of BoP by selecting it (e.g. Normal, Large Biomes, Flat, BoP). Maybe that's because BoP is a multi-faceted mod in that it adds stuff...

Pretty sure they're in every biome, but they only generally appear underground. Hope you weren't looking on the surface!

Not sure, but I think Oil can also be used as a water-replacement in the nether (in addition to the sacred springs water, which tends to be a bit harder to find).

The hopper and dropper are frequently used in redstone logic concepts such as timers and flip flops. All these can be emulated and simplified using RedPower. RedPower has a Timer block, Pulse extender, Pulse shortener, Flip Flop blocks (your choice, T-flip-flop, RS-nor Latch)...

I'm skimming through the video and seeing a bunch of redstone logic gates. These can be massively simplified using RedPower in FTB Ultimate (note that RedPower is not in later versions of FTB such as the 1.5.2 beta packs and FTB Unleashed/Direwolf20, since it is not being updated, but there are...

There are tons of ways to compare items in FTB. Diamond pipes, Applied Energistics has all sorts of stuff perfect for storage of specified items, ComputerCraft has some things, Routers, and I'm no doubt missing a few things. I don't really know how you intend to compare items with a comparator...

For what purpose? For instance, one functionality of the comparator is to determine if a block has inventory. This can be done with gates. Another one is to compare different power levels - which doesn't make sense since power levels aren't introduced until 1.5 - but then you'd need to ask why...

Another useful tip, assuming the geyser isn't wider than 1x1 (as is typical) and assuming the oil 'cave' or whatever is below the sea (and not within the sea, as is again typical), you can just start dropping sand/gravel from the 4 sides of your pump.

I found the answer to the first one, so I thought I'd share. Open an inventory (such as your own, or a chest) and click on the "..." button. Then change the "Sort key:" from R to the desired new key. I haven't found out why the scroll wheel isn't working anymore, but I did find out that if you...

I downloaded the beta 1.5.2 modpack with gregtech and I had a couple questions about inventory controls. First: It seems like R is now the default key to sort your inventory, which conflicts with the NEI Recipe key (ok, doesn't really conflict, it just fights with it - R now sorts AND looks up...

Wow, thanks for the detailed answer. I did notice it with REI as well back when I played on Direwolf20 pack (before Ultimate). It's nice to see that there's a good understanding of the problem. Thanks again.
