    Thaum 4... a dichotomy.

    You do 'essentially' have infinite research points in that you can continue to explore outward to find more nodes. The problem is when going without any kind of cheat sheets you're going to have to explore A LOT, A WHOLE LOT, to get enough research points to loose some to experimentation. And in...

    Installing Mo Creatures

    Try getting ID Fixer Minus that is what I used to straighten out my pack (207 so far). Out of those 207 mods I only got like 20 block id's, 5 or 6 item ID's and about 10 biomes that weren't handled. Note this will likely jack up your configs so be prepared for a new world after running this. So...

    What do you guys do when you start a world?

    Food, Shelter, Wood, Mine. After that, smeltery, Thaumometer, TE machines. After that, Blaze Rods, Massive source of lava. From there on it's pretty much whatever you want to build. I usually start by make farms for food and the different wood types. Then sorting, and processing. From here it's...

    1.6 end game power

    I think RC boilers are still the go-to for large continuous power. Tesseracts are still the go-to for long distance item transport. Most of the FTB packs don't have the mix that you have, and are much more focused so you're probably not going to see the extravagant builds that you could do with...

    Installing Mo Creatures

    Same place. Be warned you should dig through their configs. I dropped it straight into mine and ended up with a plaines biome with 100+ horses in it. Was really irritating.

    Loss of NEI recipes with GT in custom pack

    Yeah I've already posted there and reddit looking for answers. I didn't get any conflicts when I added it, just no recipes. Gotta wait till I get off work to post the logs.

    Loss of NEI recipes with GT in custom pack

    So I've got a custom pack going that is a 210+ conglomeration of DW20, Horizons, RR, and a large smattering of random big and small mods. I added everything except gregtech and resolved all the ID conflicts (with IDFixer Minus there were only about 20 block and about 5 item conflicts that...

    Is there still a hope for redpower2?

    .00001% chance of hope. Even if it did come back I know I'm not going back to it. Never really liked the tube system, having to build minor mostly useless power systems for 2 or 3 blocks only. Never liked forth, did like the concept behind the computer system though, CPU, memory, IO buses, etc...

    Factorization: Is it really worth it?

    The item transport system he's working on looks really promising. Hopefully that will add justification to the power system. The processing system is way to slow to be used for anything but novelty. If sulfuric acid didn't require gun powder it would be a nice opening game mod, but without...

    I feel so retarded - FTB Launcher vs Normal Launcher question.

    I've got 175 or so mods running mostly fine in the vanilla launcher, including pams, galacticraft, rotary craft, mists of rioV and all the old goodies (TC, RC, BC, IC2, etc). Took about a month to iron everything out (and 4 or 5 new worlds every time I added something with world gen). I would...

    I like my old IC2

    They need a significant numbers adjustment. Having to follow rules like the following: Location Level 245 and above, swamp biome, NO EXCEPTIONS. Growing the same crop below level 240 shows a SIGNIFICANT difference in "growability" (not to be confused with growth rate). "Growability" is a...

    Direwolf 20's Season 6 Lets Play

    Ehh I doubt it. His longest running one was Season 4 with 107 episodes, but just like S5, once he gets to the end of thaumcraft, and has a nuclear reactor it's pretty much over. He has a tendency to run through the mods in what would be typical builds for farms, but once he's got all the...

    I like my old IC2

    I like the new IC2. The plates feel like a nice replacement to refined iron, forcing either an iron tax or an energy tax. Before you had to smelt for refined iron and manually craft wires, now you can choose your tax (resources vs energy), and enable automated wire production before the likes of...

    20+ redpower2 replacements, which one to pick?

    Pretty much, it was a set and forget power system that only interacted with one mod. Once you had your frame quarry and tube system working you never had to think about it again.

    What's your 1.6 modlist?

    I just got this group playing nice the other night. Had to take out Custom Ore Gen due to conflict with metallurgy.

    What do you consider to be a good spawn?

    Mountains with ocean, plains and forest in view. I start out in the plains and once i've gotten enough stuff, will start building on the mountains then in the ocean. So I end up with a relatively well tended forest next to farms and animals, with a main building base over looking it all on the...

    Whats your rig for ftb?

    I7 3.4 quad core GeForce 670 16gb ram, with 8 to my main modded instance (i use vanilla launcher with about 100 mods so..), 4 to everything else even vanilla SSD primary drive with 4 other drives between 50 and 500 gigs spread between 1 sata, 1 IDE, 1 USB and 1 over an external IDE hub. Only...

    Thaumcraft 4 what to do if you run out of aspects

    I've played both 2 and 3. Never got all the research, but never really had any problems with it. Usually got to a point where I'd burned through everything with the aspects I needed and put it down for a while. Generally in the interim I'd change worlds before getting back to it, so I haven't...

    Thaumcraft 4 what to do if you run out of aspects

    I tried to start out with thaumcraft this time, as I thought it would be easier since I wouldn't have to dump massive amounts of items into the trash for it, but I'm coming to realize it's far more tedious now than it ever was. I've scanned every node in a 1-3 kilometer area around my base...

    Custom World Gen

    I don't think it does retro gen, but I've been using Custom Ore Generation lately and it's been pretty interesting.
