But if the ravine is far away... Have to build a pump, and a tank cart system to move it from the tank close by the ravine to my base to make it useful, right?

Thanx for your input. I find it odd that I see a myriad of postings in this and different forums about how great geothermal power is, yet to me it seems severely limited. Unless one transports it from the Nether, like you said. I guess if I wish to do this, I'll need to start looking into...

I'm caving, finding good resources, and I'm pretty far underground and quite a distance from my home. I break some blocks, and see lava. So I have to ask myself... Is this an appropriate source of lava for a pump? Is there a general rule of thumb on when a lava source is too far away...

I completely agree with the sentiment. It's what convinced me to even try FTB in the first place. Since playing I have delved into some of the machinery stuff, I've built a quarry at least, but haven't gotten too much more advanced that that. But the minimap and inventory stuff, and recipes I...

So the above statement by portablejim is not accurate:

So does this mean I could use something like Faithful 32x32 without having to use OptiFine? Or perhaps DokuCraft? Or BDCraft (which I believe normally requires MCpatcher)?

If using a pack that requires additional mods or tools, or wanting to use HD textures, then yes. Again, that's why one uses a launcher, to not have to worry or even know the nitty gritty details.

Many of them are incomplete (understandable since it's a fairly large undertaking) and also require manual manipulation of some sort, or additional addon such as OptiFine. Hopefully the "official support" offered by the launcher will be as simple as running FTB itself. Click the tab, pick a...

According to the launch video for the FTB_Launcher, official FTB texture support is coming. I know the FTB team has their hands full with Thaumcraft 3, and also updating FTB itself to 1.4.5 so I don't expect anything overnite, but I was curious as to the texture support that will eventually get...

I was in the same boat, and come from the same background. Tinkered and puttered around with Vanilla. Never even went to the Nether, but I was still having fun. I was interested in a few minor mods such as a minimap and recipe book, which in turn brought me here. I started using FTB over...

I'm only saying if your thread is going to link to other pages/sites/wikis about the mods included in FTB, including a link to this one would have been beneficial as well. If you're not interested in having a complete list of links for the mods, then disregard.

Curse systems are the worst... and to participate in the official forum requires a Curse login. Quite frankly I have more than enough registrations & logins to forums I don't wanna mess around with Curse.

Because there's a whole slew of stuff that mod does and adds, and I had no idea about it because there was no link here. I avoid the official minecraft forum, so was working blind. It's in the FTB modpack, so if you're going to list wiki or info links for mods, then perhaps you might consider...

Is there w a wiki for NEI that's not linked here?

I couldn't get redstone engines to work (surely something I was doing incorrectly) so I used three Stirling Engines which I just used buckets of lava in to run. I'd manually fill them, and had a chest full of lava buckets when the engines ran out. I did two quarries this weekend this way...

I'm assuming if I try this Magic Pack, I will need to start a new world, right? I'm fine with that, however when the next full on FTB pack does get released will to also require a new world?

Holy crap, that's one useful tip. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I suppose I should read a wiki or two and learn some more about these mods I'm using, eh...

I'm not sure if it's NEI or not, but the recipe book aspect of the mod is great. But is anyone familiar with a way or a mod that'll list the possible uses for an item? I find things and I'm not exactly sure what to do with them, and a listing of uses for any given item would be super swell...

I dislike the regular minecraft forums which is why I asked here. Sorry if that is inappropriate. If I place torches will mobs still spawn?

So here I was playing, having a great time, doing my strip mining thing when I come across a room with moss covered rock and a couple of chests. In the middle is a little block that looks like a cage, it's flaming, and inside of it is a zombie spinning around and around. What is this...
