    Ampz + Ultimate = AWESOMENESS

    I'm not talking about fun. I'm talking about stability, and how difficult it can become to diagnose where a problem exists when you've got multiple mods playing off one another. When you've got a mod pack with 90+ mods and someone says, "More!" you can turn around and point out that they're...

    Ampz + Ultimate = AWESOMENESS

    In short, no. The Ultimate pack already has nearly 100 mods in it. Nobody uses everything in the Ultimate pack to begin with, and the pack as a whole is already starting to show some of the negative consequences of bloat. It's not a good idea to keep adding and adding and adding to packs. If...

    Is there a reason to put water in a multitank/xycraft tank?

    I agree with this. If a person thinks only on a small scale, aqueous accumulators can cover a lot of jobs. There may be times, however, when you'll want access to water in a larger volume or a faster rate than accumulators can provide. Since tanks (and specifically xycraft tanks) are so cheap...

    Ore processing

    The factorization method looked good in theory when it first came out but turned out to be poorly implemented. It's hard to quantify where the line exists between "incentive to use this system" and "nothing is worth this amount of garbage" but my personal opinion is that Factorization is too...

    When RP2 frames and CC computers collide... Any ideas?

    I've been having some troubles with RP2 and CC not playing well together. If a CC computer on a frame is listening for an event, there is a pretty good chance that the client will crash if the frame is moved. I've even had frame vehicles sheered in half with an extra/duped CC computer in the...

    Setting Up Xp Turtles

    Dag nabbit. There's a command to enable perpetual auto-collection of xp. More importantly, when you're wanting to learn what commands are available to you with different peripherals on a turtle, if you google the kind of turtle you're wanting to know the details on, you'll often end up at the...

    Trying to install icbm into ftb ultimate, however:

    It probably works as a standalone mod, or with other versions of UE. Just because it doesn't work when you put it in an FTB pack doesn't mean it doesn't work at all.

    Trying to install icbm into ftb ultimate, however:

    You could try it with 1.0.5. The thing with installing mods into already bloated mod packs is that you kind of need to know the basics. Things like, "Where do I go to learn how to install this specific mod?" and "what kinds of things should I be looking for if it doesn't work so that I end up...

    I'm Getting Bored

    That "bunch of tiny pieces" you referred to has a shorter, more succinct name. "Dust". Only they aren't compressed, they're heated to melting (a process called smelting) and the liquid metal is then poured into castings to produce ingots. There are only so many ways you can make the process...

    Any news?

    At the risk of sounding like a jerkface, you clearly haven't been keeping up with what we've already been told so why ask for more? There will be no more 1.5.x packs. We've known this for weeks. We got the 1.5.2 private packs for the people who just couldn't wait. That's it. People who...

    Why Does Everyone Care So Much About Expense

    One of the worst ways to approach a discussion on a contentious issue is to ignore 99% of what someone says and instead complain about the 1% you arbitrarily decided to focus on. I wrote 3 paragraphs in my first response. The second paragraph was even a rebuttal to your response...before you...

    Why Does Everyone Care So Much About Expense

    That's what we've been discussing, but you've been too busy missing the point.

    Why Does Everyone Care So Much About Expense

    That's more of a choice than a limitation. If you don't want to dig to diamond levels right away, that's totally fine. It's not necessarily an arduous task, however.

    Why Does Everyone Care So Much About Expense

    That about sums up the whole Gregtech controversy from start to finish. Reading through your biased reproduction of your conversation, you claim at some point you recited to the dismayed player the material components for the machines in question from memory. And that's fine. It's not normal...

    Low FPS

    I appreciate the sentiment, but I've googled the hell out of it. I'm savvy enough to know it's not a hardware issue. And having already invested hours into trying to find a solution I've more or less had enough. I'm going to finish up my existing projects and then spend some time on a...

    Low FPS

    I've had nothing but trouble with the Ultimate pack. It doesn't matter what I do. With or without OptiFine, with or without all the mods that supposedly are to blame. I fix something, something else goes apeshit. Right now I've got a 50/50 chance when I log into the game that it will be...
