    How long do you stay in the "Vanilla" stage?

    I'm in 1.6.4, and as in past I always stay 'vanilla' till I have the basic farms established and a decent looking base built. This usually takes a week or so. Since using TiC I then proceed to go mental tearing up my mine and stocking up on resources, before TiC I'd jump to a quarry and a basic...

    Incresing Minecraft's Block Id's

    I believe in 1.7 they are removing block ID's all together.

    What mod do you use for early game ore processing?

    I don't think it's the expense that is the problem, it's the time you spend there right clicking the crank that is. When you could automate that with a turtle, it wasn't that bad, but the time you spend there holding the right click button, is time I am now spend gathering gravel, sand and clay...

    What mod do you use for early game ore processing?

    Did the grind stone this time, then the TiC smeltery once I had the mats. I think next time I'm just going to skip the grindstone all together and go straight for the smelter. What little bit of doubling i'll lose in the first less than 45-50 blocks of iron isn't going to bother me once I've got...

    Base Design

    I've only ever played SMP like twice, both times on a local server with a family member. I simply don't trust random people enough to build anything on a public server, so I never play SMP.

    Base Design

    I start with a hole in the ground like most people (I generally try to do dig into a cliff face rather than a literal hole in the ground). Once I have decent auto processing setup, I find a place and build a steam punk house. That ends up being where my main processing takes place. At the same...

    FTB - It´s to easy, how to make it hard?

    Invasion Mod Mo'Creatures Dinosaurs UHC Throw these into the mix from the beginning. At the very least it should significantly slow down your progress.

    More news about FTB's Future. (Important announcement)

    I'd be very curious as to Mojang's thoughts on this would be.

    Share Your Tinker's Construct Tools!

    Just put my first pick and shovel together last night. Iron head, blue slime rod and binder, and electric. Not sure if it's a bug or what, but neither of these are charged (I don't have a power setup yet), they move break blocks about as fast as iron, maybe a bit faster, and they don't appear to...

    Why Do People Avoid Building on Non-Flat Land?

    I almost always build on or into a cliff

    Something The Modding Community "Ruined"

    I had a crafting app installed on my phone a few weeks before i bought the game. Mostly to help understand what I was watching in youtube lets play's. To me crafting was never about discovery, so much as a mini game of how many recipe's can I remember before having to resort to my phone or the wiki.

    So rumors are GregT is now an IC2 dev

    I stand corrected and that sounds like a bug. I assume that's 1.5 or 1.6, as it worked in 1.4?

    That's a xycraft tank.

    Lots of Liquiducts Connected - Barely Any Steam?

    I was under the impression that you could only extract from RC tanks from the bottom 2 blocks. Looks like the majority of your connections are above that.

    New World Mod Pack

    Get an obsidian pipe and make a crap ton of cobble transport. Run a line from a chest following you as you cave, when you need to drop thing throw on the obsidian and there ya go. Don't forget to tear out the pipes as you back track or you'll end up with forks and things will start going the...

    Thaumic mound as an XP Farm?

    I made one in 1.4.7, just a water elevator up 20-30 blocks then a drop into the main area of the mound. I know this is a crappy picture but in game it looked sweet. Had a steampunk house on a cliff over looking it, was a grand sight. Great for minium shards and arrows. The inside was pretty much...

    Alternatives to Mystcraft for basic mining worlds?

    He probably didn't spend hours but he's obviously spent quite a bit of time with it. On his SMP series he's pretty much been the mystcraft guy for the last couple of seasons (at least 3 I think). The video I linked was a specific walk through for creating stable ages, not really a spotlight...

    Alternatives to Mystcraft for basic mining worlds?

    According to dire's video, if you don't choose things like weather and sun and sky, the RNG will choose them. And things such as villages and ravines, if not chosen will be added as well. He specifically adds in 3 symbols from these area's in order to stop the RNG from trying to add more (Go to...
