    multiple world ore generation (copper/tin)

    I posted some ore generation results here, using Thermal Expansions config for world gen with forestry tin and copper disabled.

    Why no new launcher.

    Judging by the tone and challenges expressed in Slowpokes OP, if he's the project leader then its hardly surprising people assume this project is in big trouble. As someone said earlier - when you find yourself in strife, sometimes you have to hard conversations. Having worked for some...

    Why no new launcher.

    I got to thinking: What is Feed The Beast? It's not the launcher, though this tool is essential to delivering and launching the FTB modpacks. Is it the comprehensive modded minecraft experience? The FTB brand has quickly established itself as a quality collection of well-balanced, stable and...

    Thermal Expansion 3.0!!! No More Beta! Thanks KL!

    My results from a massive 160x160 Quarry (100 chunks) suggest silver and lead are evenly balanced (even though lead was configured for an additional cluster) and you should expect around 16 of each per chunk. I'm now kinda curious how ClusterSize and NumClusters determines actual ore generation...

    Thermal Expansion 3.0!!! No More Beta! Thanks KL!

    Nice guide. A small correction: The Igneous Extruder no longer consumes a small amount of lava to produce smooth Stone - just water, same as for cobblestone.

    JVM Arguments for Modded Minecraft (Updated 12/30/13)

    I'm running 32-bit 3GB RAM , and modified the server arguments from the from the front page. Decreased ram to 768m (-Xmx768m) and PermSize to 128m (-XX:permSize=128) and removed Reserved Code Cache argument In my case, this led to no more out of memory problems. It seemed counter-intuitive...

    Thermal Expansion 3.0!!! No More Beta! Thanks KL!

    Err, just for the record, what are the default config settings for CoFH world ore gen in 1.6? (I may have turned down diamonds and ferrous and forgot to document the original)

    RedPower Replacements?

    Not on your list, but what about replacement lights? Aside from the Glowstone Illuminator (which comes in one flavour out of the box) I seem to struggle to find decent lighting blocks in the main packs.

    Have you played around with the new Factorization barrels? There's a hopper variant, which may be a compact dual-purpose solution for storage and feeding machines (e.g. store logs from tree farm - feed furnace for charcoal production)

    Thermal Expansion 3.0!!! No More Beta! Thanks KL!

    Dang it - good point. Okay, then do you think the steam and magmatic dynamos should swap recipes ? ;)

    Thermal Expansion 3.0!!! No More Beta! Thanks KL!

    Is it just me - or do you think the steam and magmatic dynamos should swap textures? The magmatic is silver (like steam) and the steam dynamo is copper-colored (like lava).

    Ooops. :) The sound libraries were updated in the recent version of MC and I'm not noticing any sound related stuttering or lower FPS ...so far, so good.

    If your boilers are feeding Industrial Steam Engines, you could try disabling sound in Buildcraft Railcraft config. I believe sound is generally handled better in more recent MC versions, but the Steam Engines were a massive lag-beast in my old world.

    Too many Diamonds in Unleashed

    yeah, I too was surprised to see iron had doubled, to around 160 ore per chunk. That's 5 stacks of iron ingots after ore-doubling. It follows that exploring and mining by hand is more rewarding ... and I do love to go caving, so perhaps its a good thing, if that's your play-style

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Now that I think about, I seem to recall DW20 saying something about Binnie "restoring" the gate conditionals -- or some suggestion that they went away and are coming back. They werent in Unleashed for me, though this is one task I like to do manually. If no-one confirms otherwise, I will check...

    what version are you playing on? I recall DW20 mentioning that Binnie was adding gate conditionals to his machines, around the time of 1.4.7

    THREE Natura Redwoods? Nice. Did you plant them or is this how they spawned?

    Wyld leaves FTB Modpack Team to become professional streamer

    We should show him some support on Twitch - does anyone have the link? While we're waiting on FTB 1.6, might try out his UHS2 pack on the ATLauncher ... heard it was beastly. Good luck Wyld !
