    1.5.1 Beta Pack-DIY Edition (now with 1.5.2)

    This thread is about a 1.5.1 DIY modpack. A modpack that includes a version of CoFH core with a flat bedrock option as well as the separate Flat Bedrock mod. It's not about Ultimate or any other currently-existing FTB pack.

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    I don't think I've ever seen that many DSUs in one place before. Wow.

    Mods that deserve Attention.

    This looks really REALLY cool. The power system would be a lot of fun to mess with, but at the same time I'm fairly certain that I'd never use most of the machines it actually powers. One mod I just discovered is OreDupeFix. It basically unifies ore processing recipes much like GregTech...

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    After having spent the past several days installing and configuring my own 1.5.2 instance (after six months of playing FTB, I'd forgotten how annoying ID conflicts could be), I'd gladly welcome a preconfigured 1.5.2 modpack. I doubt I would have any more luck getting it added to FTB than you...

    Mac FTB Wont Launch

    JavaVM FATAL: lookup of function JAWT_GetAWT failed. Exit This happens when running any form of Minecraft with Java 7 on a Mac. It may be possible to downgrade to Java 6, but it's not easy. On the other hand, I think the issue has been fixed in the most recent of LWJGL (a library that...

    1.5.1 Beta Pack-DIY Edition (now with 1.5.2)

    Yeah, I figured this out eventually. Most of the mods that appear to be stuck on 1.5.1 actually have beta versions for 1.5.2 that I just didn't know about at first. Mystcraft is the only one I had to drop. Now I just have to fix all of those IDs. I've been playing FTB exclusively ever since...

    The simplest item distribution

    Ah, okay. I knew about that mod. I thought you were talking about some other (apparently nonexistent) mod.

    The simplest item distribution

    What is Forge Extras? I've never heard of it and can't find anything about it anywhere.

    I'm sorry to sound impatient, but...

    Well, there were a few threads with interesting discussions that I would've participated in had they not been derailed by a somewhat pointless comment about British vs. American spelling. Perhaps I'm ever-so-slightly resentful for that.

    Oh good, I'm not the only one who's noticed threads that Lambert posts in often get derailed into talking about British grammar.

    1.5.1 Beta Pack-DIY Edition (now with 1.5.2)

    LiteLoader is a JAR mod like Forge, and gets installed in the same way. If you're using MultiMC, it goes in the instMods folder.

    1.5.1 Beta Pack-DIY Edition (now with 1.5.2)

    I think I'm going to start building a 1.5.2 instance for myself. I was going to wait for the mods still stuck on 1.4.7 to update, but I keep seeing and hearing about awesome new features in both vanilla 1.5 and the mods that are on 1.5, and I got impatient. I just wish 1.5.1 mods worked on...

    Mystcraft Stable Ages

    I'm fairly certain stars CAN accept length symbols. At least, the Wiki implies they can. I never saw the point since stars are only visible at night anyway, but I suppose you can. That's not exactly what clear modifiers does. If a modifier can't modify the symbol you're trying to modify, it'll...

    If YOU had only one mod to take out of Ultimate, forever, what would it be?

    If I could only remove one mod, it would probably be GregTech. I don't hate it or anything. I just...don't really use it at all. I don't consider Minecraft a competitive game, so "balance" is utterly meaningless to me. I primarily use MJ-powered machines and have very little EU power...

    Best mining method?

    Blue, duh. But seriously, the fact that the answer is subjective does not in any way prevent people from discussing said answer. It just prevents people from agreeing on it.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Yes, Storage Buses do have a GUI. You can configure them to only accept certain items. What if you run out of logs? When you get more, they might not end up going to the right inventory unless you configure the storage bus to only accept logs.

    Epic Fail stories

    I made sure I added the Lava Lakes symbol to the age. I had regular lakes too, but it would've been easier to just place a water source block myself. Clearing out that water was a nightmare. Luckily I didn't remove the quarry until after I'd drained the water (which took a couple DAYS to do)...

    Best mining method?

    And we're back on topic! Let's keep this going. I tend to go with quarries and tunnel bores (with some manual caving/branch mining if I need something specific). I love building frame contraptions, so tunnel bores are both fun and functional. And you can make them as big as you want (well, to...

    Best mining method?

    "Stale" as in no longer funny. Also, welcome to the FTB Forums. We discuss a lot of pointless/stale/whatever things here whenever a thread gets derailed. Don't assume things about me. I am nowhere near as young as you think I am. Nor am I all that interested in arguing about popular culture...

    Mystcraft Stable Ages

    Here's a mining age I primarily created to get Apatite. It's...well...it's not exactly "useless" for other ores, but getting to the other ores is a PITA since it creates a flat world with a surface somewhere around y level 180. Nothing spawns that high except Apatite and Amber, and you'll get...
