I like the core idea, and the end-game content it adds is unparalleled, but I find its execution cringe-worthy. With sensible config (Personally, I HATE it when a mod overrides recipies), GregTech can be a good mod. But as it is in the current FTB packs, GregTech is very invasive.

I believe the newest version of Thaumic Bees added Apatine Bees, which produce Apatite. Hooray for bees!

When I need delivery assurance, I generally use insertion pipes to my advantage. With An Insertion Pipe just so (either Additional Pipes or TE will work here), you can make sure things get into point B. Just make sure it won't overflow and explode!

Secret Room's Solid Air would work wonders too.

I saw that GraviSuite resource PDF thing you linked in the Suggest Mods thread, and I wanted to say how cool it was? Where did you get it from? Did you make it yourself?

You could use something with sneaky shifting support, like MiscPeripheral's Inventory Turtles, Logistics Pipes, or Factorization Routers to specify input to the bottom face.

Very true; I do have EBXL. There has been some lag in the old version, however, most of it is due to the redwood forests (me and my friends used to call them "lagwood forests") and similar biomes; in the new version, I removed these laggy biomes.

Yeah, you're definitely right about that one. Really, the only reason it's on the chopping block is because of some overlap (which isn't THAT bad, I guess). I'm probably going to keep that one. The descriptions are mostly only focused on a few things, I could of gone into more detail; however...

Limited? In what manner? Should I expand my descriptions?

I've run some basic FPS tests, and the minute I put a shard in the cage, it causes my FPS to drop by up to 3-5 frames on average; I don't know yet if MFR farms do this too; but my (admittably not very scientific) evidance is pretty damning. It may or may not actually add up, though.

Recently, I've updated my modpack to 1.5.2 (It's here if you're interested), and I've been focusing on removing mods that provide overlapping content, mainly to reduce lag (it's been pretty bad on my server). I'm trying to further consolidate content, and recently, four mods included in my pack...

Have you checked your TE machines' configuration? For input from the ME system to the machine, the side needs to be coloured. For output back into the ME system, you need the side to be a blank hole.

Ha, I feel you. It doesn't help that people often shorten the name to 'Vaj', either.

In the past, I usually set up with TE's magmatic engines. Lava power is both available early and powerful. However, the new Clokcwork Engines sound much superior for startup power.

Wow. And here I was, gravigunning my Saltpeter Ore Spawners into place for a bedrock house, and now I see this. Really cool exploit.

All you have to do is remove all other drives from your system except the big one and export the things from the small drive to the ME system using the connected IO port.

Advanced Reactors seem interesting, and I do like the idea, but the fact that they overwrite base IC2 recipes doesn't set right with me. I know reactors have been too easy to make since the reactor update after 1.2.5, but it's annoying when mods go overboard with changing things.

Now, now. just because Traincraft is inferior in every way to Railcraft doesn't mean we can put it down like that. Some people like Traincraft for some reason.

For frames, I have found that combining Travelling Houses with ComputerCraft produces results very similar to frames. I haven't looked into it too far, but it looks hopeful to me.

Upon reading some posts, I really can recommend mods like Chisel, Liquid Metals, and Travelling Houses. I'm using some of these in my own modpack now (not Chisel yet, sadly), and the only one that's been buggy at all was the lattermost of the third (and even then, not too bad).
