    How to get Soul Stealing enchant on a Diamond Sword

    The Soul Shards mod adds a Soul Stealing enchant which gives you bonus kills for filling up the Soul Shards. This enchant is normally only available on Vile Swords, crafted from Corrupted Ingots. However, you can use the Uncrafting Table to turn a Vile Sword into a Diamond Sword, using 2...

    Diesel/oil sands

    If you want to nerf fuel, I believe you can change the burn value in the BuildCraft config. Though, you would also want to change the value in other mods that use fuel e.g. PetroGen, GregTech, etc.

    Diesel/oil sands

    That would be excellent, DrCeph. :) I believe you can add Squeezer recipes via the Forestry API, though I haven't looked at how to exactly do it yet.

    Traincraft easy steel (mindcrack edition)

    Yes, but it is currently ruining servers right now. Is there any way to disable it in the current v7 MindCrack pack?

    I do - http://youtube.com/user/TruculentMC I don't have much up yet but more stuff is coming soon! I'm going to start posting short how-to videos daily, hopefully you'll find them informative!

    Am I supposed to be getting dust when I grind my gem ores?

    Diamond Ore generation was increased from default in the MindCrack pack, BTW. Compare the Vanilla to TE generation numbers. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0AkyyXhhEeDI2dHprQ2ViOFIxYk5DZFlQVURXdTJqX1E So you're already getting nearly double diamonds anyways - all without having to...

    Youtubers, which recording program would you recommend?

    I use Fraps to record, and VirtualDub to edit and compress the video.

    Two platinum == Limitless iridium

    If there was a hypothetical method that made it so instead of being able to turn 64 Coal -> 1 Diamond, you could turn 2 Coal -> 1 Diamond instead. Would that be exploitative? There is 1 iridium ore per 5 chunks. In those same 5 chunks, you can expect around 1225 other ores (varies based on...

    Am I supposed to be getting dust when I grind my gem ores?

    I tested with GregTech disabled and there's no default-IC2 Macerator recipe for Diamond Ore or RP2 gem ore.

    Am I supposed to be getting dust when I grind my gem ores?

    No, not Diamonds Dust. Rock Cutter requires Titanium, which requires an Industrial Blast Furnace.

    Am I supposed to be getting dust when I grind my gem ores?

    Seems like a silly argument because if you really cared about how many gems you get from an ore, you'd have made yourself a Fortune III pick instead of a Rockcutter. An XP grinder is IMO less effort than setting up the Industrial Blast Furnace you need to make the Rockcutter, and certainly costs...

    lack of tin

    True, but the main use of Tin in Forestry (Bronze) is nerfed 50% by Gregtech (rightfully so, to match other Bronze recipe). RP doesn't use much Tin for the machines, but the alternate uses for it (Bucket etc) is once again nerfed by GregTech, so RP overall doesn't need much Tin. And it doesn't...

    When the lack of tin is fixed will I have to make a new world?

    That's in a 30x30 chunk area, or 480x480 block area, which is quite large. You need to run a max size quarry 60 times to clear that. And in that area, the default IC2 ore generation gave 70.6K Tin, while the TE generation used in MindCrack gave 25.7K, that's almost 2/3 less than what IC2...

    What do you think is the hardest/tedious recipe in FTB or DW20 pack?

    Ghast Tears are farmable without much difficulty in Hell biome Mystcraft worlds, a few hours will get you what you need. None of the other items take anywhere near the resources that a Fusion Reactor, so it gets my vote.

    Is there an easy fix for filling this hole with water

    You can try water source blocks in a turtle, or possibly a filler.

    Private Packs: How Do I Make One?

    Actually - Forestry gives this permission, which by my interpretation seems to be sufficient for inclusion in private FTB packs. Several other mods give similar permissions, GregTech for example...

    When the lack of tin is fixed will I have to make a new world?

    There IS a lack of tin in the MindCrack pack. Check the data that cww256 posted in the Reddit thread. I'll cut the numbers out, here is the amount of Tin generated by each of the different ore gen options over the same 30x30 chunk area. Note that Thermal Expansion is the only Tin generation...
