    Desktop vs Laptop for FTB ? and other tech questions

    As a general rule, you will get more gaming bang for your buck when going with a desktop PC. With laptops you sacrifice price and upgrade ability the ability to carry your PC around aka portability. You sound tech savvy enough to build your own rig. The first time its scary, but once it works...

    Starting a new playthrough, recommendations?

    interesting choice of mods. I started a world with my brothers a while back with the same setup. DW20 with all the magic stuff removed. We haven't added anything, but adding Mekanism and big reactors would be my recommendation.

    Item sent thru tesseract disappeared?

    I was going to suggest breaking JUST the itemduct - sometimes stuff gets stuck in them. but since you broke them all.. too late.

    Custom Mod Pack Recommendations?

    Start with one of the existing mod packs. then add and subtract mods from there. Ive only played DW20 so im biased towards that one.

    How can I get Certus Quartz alot easier?

    Odd... i never had issues getting enough certus quartz to start my system. The problem was usually not enough gold. Just make yourself a TiC hammer with fortune 3 and go caving. You will endup with enough quartz to get going and a lot of other goodies as well.

    Small rant about TE.

    I just use an Ender Chest on top of my quarry and use a tesseract to send power. I just wish the tesseract would send power directly to the quarry. Adding a redstone conduit between them solves the problem, but its yet 1 more block I have to deal with.

    Any good Giant Castle tutorials ???

    Yeah worldedit is very cheaty IMO, which is why I used it for testing on my creative server. So use it for TESTING, and do this on your creative or SSP server. Build whatever shape you want to test. Then it becomes a counting game to transfer the shape to your "real" server. but having...

    Any good Giant Castle tutorials ???

    Create a 'large biomes' world and you will have spots big enough. Especially swamp or plains. And while you cant make stuff perfectly round you can get "close enough" if you arrange the blocks right. Get a hold of world edit and mess around in creative to create circles of various sizes. If...

    Any good Giant Castle tutorials ???

    Ive been working on a simmilar thing (120x120 castle) for awhile now. Testing stuff in creative has been a HUGE help. then i can get an idea of how things will look before I commit to creating lots of difficult to acquire resources. (try creating 5k frostbound blocks with no TE3...) Another...

    Don't know where else to ask...

    Just curious.. is this crash from a SP client? or from a client connecting to a server? or from a dedicated server? ive seen similar *client* errors when a minimap mod got added to the my server mods folder.

    Base Opinion

    Good start on your new base. Ive always been fond of quarried stone for my ceilings. Add inverted lamps every so often and you get a nice bright look. For the walls try some sort of embedded "pillar" Spaced every 3-5 blocks. if you use the same frostbound "blocks" for your trim they will...

    Why am I getting this weird block lag on MP FTB? (DW20 1.0.4)

    If your the only one getting lag, then the problem is "somewhere" between you and the server. You mentioned something about a wifi chip on your PC. I take it this means you have a wireless connection to your PC? Go get a network cable and try without a wireless connection for a bit. see if...

    GTX 570 Crashing Issue

    This sounds a lot like a loose or failing vga cable. It could also be a stress issue.. FTB is running long enough to push something over the edge, while the benchmark apps dont run long enough. But cards DO go bad after a while. I was highly annoyed when my GTX285 died, but the gtx580 upgrade...

    How far is to far with automation?

    Im actually working on a CC project that could begin to start to kinda-sorta make a self replicating world eater horde. It will dispatch up to 64 turtles (1 stack) to build a pattern. The builders will get resources from a stack of chests, head out to build the pattern. when they need more...
