    It seems like all the server host providers are outrageously priced. Help?

    Consider yourself lucky you ain't Australian. That price point is likely to double if you want a server that's Sydney based. Back in the day I paid 120 something AUD for 16gig on a VPN and it wasn't even dedicated. Currency conversion aside it's still a pretty penny. And that's just a VPN...

    Anyone know of a good antigrief/claim land mod

    Whitelists tend to stymie the growth of your server. Assuming people actually want to apply en masse, you or one of your admins will need to be on the ball to evaluate the applications. Depending on the number, chances are you or your staff will half ass an application and you end up letting in...

    What will be the next ultimate FTB sandbox?

    I found expert mode to be tiring and contrived. The tech side was done OK but the magic side took it way too far. It might have been the point but it didn't feeo intuitive. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

    Voip in Video Games

    Is being OG anything like being a genwunner? Rust controls like any other FPS, then again firing bows is a bit odd. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

    Immersive Steam Powered Rails

    I guess @shneekythelost has a slight point. Very few people where interested in carts in Vanilla mainly because there's no use in using them on top of how clumsy they are. Railcraft is just an extension to to vanilla carts. I guess that's why teleportation of stuff came to be the standard...

    Mod Feedback [By Request] RotaryCraft Suggestions

    Not really rotational speed from the engine wouldn't be that pivotal. Torque would play a bigger part from the engine. Depending on the material storeing the energy the speed of the release will be a given when the energy releases. Being able to pull the spring and store the energy will take...

    Request How to make players scream? (And cry)

    If the crops follow the usual conventions for plantable crops then it should automatically configure. Not sure if it will have any mutations available though. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

    Open 2.5.2: Beheading X won't behead

    Im kind of indifferent. Nothing really uses heads en mass EIO comes to mind but it doesn't really break anything too bad balance wise. Heads only give you a little bit more nutrient distillate. Thaumcraft might benefit from it too but candles are easier for stabilizers. Didn't really need...

    What will be the next ultimate FTB sandbox?

    I don't know, while it's not advised you can actually get away with jumbleing up a mod salad by throwing a bunch of mods together and have a decent expectation tjat they will work. Modding has come a long way. Of course there are a few curve balls, like how in 1.7.10 you still had potion and...

    That's assuming you want to communicate with your neibours at all. If I wanted to communicate with them at all I'd just speak to them. People actually do preffer to talk for communication. Your work with video calls should exemplify that. Sometimes people will call you up for a query even if...

    Thaumcraft node manipulation - what?

    To be frank their is almost no need to use node stabilizers past inducing a node and MAYBE repairing a node. If you cheese it with a blood magic teleposer (don't worry I cheese my vis worse by using Forbidden Magic livingwood wands) you won't need them for repairing nodes. There's even a TC4...

    What will be the next ultimate FTB sandbox?

    Ideas are cheap and this one belongs in the bargain bin. Loading all the mods in a large pack can be done by anyone. Making a monster is easy, especially these days where you don't have ID conflicts. I think we should be a focusing on a "less is more" philosophy. Infinity and monster where...

    Voip in Video Games

    You do know humans are social quasi-hive dwelling creatures right? I mean we might be a pack of basement cases but a good majority of us like to talk. Not just communicate but talk, with our mouths, using our voice. Even the most simplest human language blows mostly any creatures method of...

    What would you guys like in a mod pack?

    Just take some time off from the game. Don't make it a chore to keep yourself interested. Otherwise you will end up hating it but still play it out of stubbornness and you will just waste your free time which becomes more and more precious as you go on. As for OP; Don't ask us or you will end...

    Torque would be more of a factor. If you where to implement such an idea it would probably work like a industrial spring. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    To me the tech magic distinction is merely esthetic. Got machines, cables and electricity? That's tech. Got wands, runes and rituals? That be magic son!. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

    Open 2.5.2: Beheading X won't behead

    Does it at least work some of the time? The title implies it won't behead at all. They probably added a hard cap on the drop chance modifier. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

    Request How to make players scream? (And cry)

    I think you've done enough by removing flight and teleportation items. I know folks that drop packs outright if the flight is hard to get let alone removed. If a server banns or gates flight behind a paywall they leave instantly (to be frank I would to out oc principal). So you have a lot of...

    Flaxbeards ore processing can be adjusted in it's config. It's set to 1.5 as default, you can set it to what you like to you could have it quintuple or x10. Also I think AOBTD covers it too, don't quote me there though. Flaxbeard really fits well with vanilla too. Sent from my GT-I9100 using...

    [1.7.10] Regrowth - A WIP HQM pack - Now Listed!

    Those similax wands are OK but it doesn't substitute for the builders wand very well. Then again they do have some features that builders wands don't. You can't bridge an unreachable gap with builders wands. If similax could place wider areas and have a method to break/ unbuild then they would...
