Personally, I always start with flint, then upgrade to bronze, then upgrade to endgame materials. (If steel is not in the pack, I do make a temporary allumite pick to mine the cobalt, but I don't count that as an actual upgrade I really use beyond mining the cobalt) For bows, I start with wood...

To clarify; I know it is the only available choice for its function. There is just something about the mod I think doesn't fit with the others. But like I said, its not nearly as bad as the other three I mentioned.

You are not the only one with that opinion. Aside from AE and mechanism there is also AcademyCraft, I don't think these mods fit this modpack in the slightest. Not complaining about the mods themself. They are all great mods, and I'm sure they'll work great in some other modpack. I also don't...

I wasn't trying to avoid ownership. When I first drafted my post it started with what is now the second sentence. I felt that line came across much harsher than I intended to be, so I added the first bit as an attempt to soften it. It was a terrible attempt and on top of that, my entire post is...

You can grow emeralds using AgriCraft Emeryllis crops

Not saying it is so, but... It might be worth considering the possibility that *you* are the one being whiny here. Just as a thought experiment. :) Why do you insist that things default to being OP, instead of defaulting to being more well balanced? And why insist that the mod makes...

This is true, but I disagree that the dividing line is between "magic mods" and "tech mods." Both "magic" and "tech" can have items or blocks that either slightly enhance vanilla play, or have one block that instantly automates everything after clicking the mouse button once. For example, the...

You can try putting the ward inside a vanilla dispenser (not a dropper) and letting it plant it with a push of a button. I know this works for wheat seeds, but I'm not sure about netherward.

I assume you mean unstable 1.8 I don't know for sure but that might be the Dynamic surroundings mod. This mod also adds birds chirping sounds in the forest biome. And a Redstone ready world is all desert biome, to prevent rain.

I can't answer you question directly, but as an alternative, you could use items such as the Interdiction torch, or magnum torch. Those don't make mobs friendly, but they prevent mob spawning or even crossing over into a limited area. These items can keep you safe from mobs in certain areas, but...

If it is an issue of the can not being able to accept items fast enough, then you can also try putting multiple trash cans in parallel, see if that works.

That is not a basement, that is an entire base! A basement is a room under your base. Usually it is a place people don't go very often, a place where you place things out of the way so you don't have to look at them. That is my understanding of the concept of basement anyway. I can understand...

I didn't watch the video, but I do know that, as per vanilla Minecraft rules, blazes and wither skeletons spawn inside of nether fortress structures. Keep in mind the meaning of the word "structure" in this context. In this context a "structure" is a 3 dimensional area that is defined somewhere...

Controller and tank need to be on the same level, but they can be on any level, as long as it is the same level, and as long as that level is otherwise completed.

OK, I have a suggestion that can be applied to most FTB packs as far as I'm aware: use Minetweaker scripts to preemptively unify ingots. What I mean is, pick an ingot per metal that you choose to be the standard in the pack, and make it so that every machine and crafting recipe makes only...

Q: Is there any reason to use Minecraft v1.6.2 instead of say, v1.6.4 ? I remember v1.6.4 to be the stable default until v1.7.10 became a thing.

If you look at your inventory screen you will see a bunch of icons on the left side, click on the little book icon that says "guide" when you mouse over it. It Tells you how the get started.

Yes, those old threads are out of date. Mostly because Java 8 changes compared to older versions of java. For example; I happen to know that MaxPermSize is no longer used in java 8. (the java engine just ignores the parameters) If you are still running old versions of java, then you can use the...

From my experience: It seems you can't bonemeal (not even with Forestry fertilizer) the ore crops. (but you can use Forestry fertilizer on redstone crops) The watering can does seem to work on some of them. I've just resorted to letting some of the crops grow naturally myself. A bit annoying...

While this is true for a single new seed type, it should be noted that upgrading every new seed type from 5/5/5 to 10/10/10 before breeding the next one is actually way slower than just progressing with 1/1/1 seeds as fast as possible and then upgrading them all from 1/1/1 to 10/10/10 in...
