    1.8 "The Bountiful Update" Released

    Hey I don't know if it's just me (likely not because my computer is new), but whenever I change the chunk render distance in 1.8 the graphics go spastic. I literally discovered that in the first 5 minutes of gameplay. Anyone else get it?

    Request Suggest mods for creation here

    I had an idea for a mod that adds actual electric fences into Minecraft, from memory I think the MrCrayfish mod has an electric fence but I'm thinking of a different solution. Lets say that if you were able to make iron fences and add redstone, you could get a basic electric fence that turns on...

    What's new in modded minecraft today?

    It's probably not a new thing for other players, but I found out that swimming with an Openblocks hang glider makes you swim (what feels like) two or three times as fast. Comes in handy when you don't have a jetpack and couldn't be bothered making a boat.

    Space Engine

    Space Engine (this is entirely different from Kerbal Space Program) is more of an educational tool than a game, but this software is packed full of features and things that will blow your mind. This is basically an application that contains a realistic, full 3D model of space that you can...

    Official FTB seed thread.

    I found a really good Feed The Beast Monster seed for those who like a fully kitted-out mountain seed. 4117430908390750034 Terrain generator: Biomes O' Plenty MAJOR BIOMES IN WALKING DISTANCE OF SPAWN (I consider walking distance about 600 blocks or less) Mountain Coniferous Forest Sacred...

    steam turbine on 50%

    ikr but they have both in the Ultimate modpack, and I've confused the damn things a lot as well. Redpower also has 'fluid pipes' which doesn't help much. And they removed the liquiducts? I liked them.

    steam turbine on 50%

    Have you used a crescent wrench to right click the liquiduct connection at the steam boiler? The liquiducts won't transfer much steam unless you right click with a crescent wrench (where the liquiduct attaches to the steam boiler), and then apply a redstone signal to get the liquiducts pumping...

    steam turbine on 50%

    I have steam turbines in my FTB Ultimate world, you need to feed it two liquiducts of steam (in redstone extraction mode at the boiler) to reach 100%. A 36HP boiler will feed two steam turbines at 100% efficiency with steam to spare, so you should have no problem when using multiple liquiducts...

    1.7.10 FTB Pack News

    The ATLauncher is alright, I played the Sky Factory map full time for a month or two and enjoyed it. The reason why I don't use it anymore is because it only has the Sky Factory and CrackPack modpacks, and that's it as far as interesting modpacks go. The rest are pretty random.

    Necessities for every mod pack (almost)

    These are my Top 10 favourite mods that I reckon add something important to modpacks: NEI (of course) Tinker's Construct (awesome weaponry and the ability to have self-repairing tools) Openblocks (too much good stuff to say something specific) Thermal Expansion and MFR (can't live without the...

    Really stupid things that people have said about Modded MC(Off topicness makes moderators tired)

    I haven't really had anyone say something stupid about modded Minecraft, but it irritates me when people (who don't know much about Minecraft) see me playing a hardcore technical modpack and think I'm playing vanilla, then get the impression that I'm playing a game made for 10 year old kids...

    1.7.10 FTB Pack News

    It's fun using a torch to set fire to flammable gas deposits underground, that's the method I use to determine if a gas is interesting or not. When it comes to testing stuff like this I'm a bit like Fire Marshall Bill.

    Show Your Agrarian Skies world

    This is my Agrarian Skies survival map. There was so many maps I played before this one, but I kept restarting because I was always dying of stupid causes, like getting kicked off the edge by angry zombies inside my mob trap. Nothing really special about this map aside from a big mob tower. I...

    A Forum Game To Pass The Time! (Corrupt A Wish)

    Granted, you may now hear the sweet sound of 700 times the quantity of bacteria in your ears. I wish my internet were faster.

    1.7.10 FTB Pack News

    I must say the devs have done a freakin' epic job with the Unstable modpack! I know it's really just an experimental showcase pack with mods thrown together, but the mod choice is impeccable. If Pam's Harvestcraft makes the final cut for the new 1.7 modpacks, I will rejoice because it was a...

    1.7.10 FTB Pack News

    Yeah I got the same thing. I downloaded and tried Unstable for the first time just now and it was lagging like a dog, but after about 10 minutes of gameplay the fps became super smooth, now it's consistently above 50fps (even when exploring and loading new chunks) and it feels like I'm playing...

    The biofuel factory

    Biofuel factories are by far my favourite projects in Feed The Beast Ultimate, and after a few sad iterations over numerous maps I reckon I've finally made the ultimate version. It's still a WIP with room for improvement but it may as well be finished.

    New Computer

    I don't know, probably because most people are rocking quad cores with crossfire, and laptops gain a reputation of being subpar.
