I'm sure there was a recent changelog or wiki entry which depicted it as an ellipsoid, 128 x 32 ... not a 64 sphere. The intention was to provider a wider range at "ground level" while not impeding mob spawn deeper down. EDIT TO ADD: It's a speroid in the current verion The mod author stated...

Ah, yes ... them villagers. I used to have a village just out of range of my base in MIndcrack. As I built up my machines, I experienced the usual degradation in performance/FPS. Then I moved onto the outside for a few weeks, basically building with assorted bricks ... and over that time the...

Thank you (and others) for providing so many contributing factors which go a long way to explaining the increase in certain ores. Though the OP was asking are there "too many", we can at least now conclude that actual yields per chunk have risen significantly ... we weren't just imagining things.

There's also a Redwood in Natura, which is the one PierceSG is referring to. Hollow it out for an awesome first home. You can even craft the redwood bark into a secret zombie-proof door ;)

I found this thread by Eyamaz to be extremely useful: JVM Arguments for Modded Minecraft (Updated 11/11/13) Fiddling with the java params lifted my FPS from 25 to 70.

I like where you are coming from ... and voted for making it an option. Gregtech could also be a further extension (assuming TiC isnt selected) So I'm wondering which way the FTB product will go: themed pack :- balanced around a style of play (Mindcrack v DW20, Unleashed v Unhinged). Seemed...

If you're just starting out, you might enjoy watching GenerikB's Bee Academy. Takes you through all the basics in a 5 part you-tube series. Here's episode one:

Then hopefully it exceeds his requirements? Without knowing how he wants to employ it, the DB is a simple, single block which will emit a signal when a block is placed down next to it. That's what he asked for :)

have stuck with Faithful 32 packs for quite a while, but now I'm wondering: what is everyone using (or plan to) for 1.6?

Mods, feel free to (re-)move -- Just a heads up for those testing out 1.6 mods. Appears some "holiday content" may be crashing startup PluginsForForestry v1.6.4-3.2.28 Workaround: It runs fine if you set your system date back to the 20th or forward a few days ... ---- Minecraft Crash...

ExtraUtilities to the rescue ... Block Update Detector: Checks for block updates adjacent to the block. This block replicates the standard vanilla BUD in one block. If an adjacent block is updated the BUD will send out a one tick redstone pulse and then go inactive for three ticks to allow...

Would you mind explaining a little more about this design? I have always used FZ for the barrels and not much else, but this looks impressive.

my workstation is a 32-bit Windows 2008 Server ... but surprisingly it plays modded MC just fine o_O

Optimizing your java parameters seems to make quite a difference. Perhaps the JVM arguments thread is a good place to start: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/jvm-arguments-for-modded-minecraft-updated-11-11-13.28994/

Thanks - appreciate all your hard work

and if the client is Windows 32-bit, aside from Xmx1G, what would you down-size the other major params to? Thanks.

and assist the devs by reporting bugs to their issues list, here : https://code.google.com/p/thermalexpansion/issues/list

Yes, thanks for the link. Helps us understand how you want BC to differentiate from other mods. You've given me a great idea -- Rather than spamming Railcraft boilers, I will consider using the "on demand" as a design principle for my next world. Same will apply to ore-processing (pulv/smelt...

Either Gregtech or ChickenChunks had an option for finite water. For starters, I'd check their mod's configs

This really resonates with my view on FTB and modded MC. Its not about the rewards, but what we find rewarding. For example, in my circle of friends, everyone plays FTB Unleashed ... but no-one has the same pack or playstyle. We customize our mod lists to alter our environment and what we...
