    Dartcraft: One of the most overpowered mods of our time

    Didn't really like it so most of the stuff from Dartcraft is rotting in countless chests... But the one thing that really stands out? The Ender Tots. ....They're really dumb. And that's bad. God knows how many times I've been assaulted by angry Enderparents out of nowhere early game.

    Greg Tech opinion discussions go here

    I think people are misunderstanding the point of the topic. The issue here isn't that Greg is being an ass, so to speak. I'm pretty sure that's well established. The issue here is that Greg is going so far as to deliberate crash your games if anything does so much as lightly touch a single...

    Greg Tech opinion discussions go here

    Since somebody bought up law, I thought I'd bring up something really interesting to think about. Due to Greg's changes, he may very well have landed himself in some hot water by introducing code that deliberately compromises and sabotages the functionality of Minecraft. Mojang may be lax, but...

    Greg Tech opinion discussions go here

    In all honesty? I don't think he even cares. He's already stepped on plenty of toes in the past, and he did it again. Except this time, he has stepped on a whole lot of toes. Not just because of Tinkers' Construct, but because of the implications of practically any future mod releases that may...

    Greg Tech opinion discussions go here

    I'll speak from a singleplayer standpoint: players are free to mod their games how they want, and if they want to exploit the various ways certain mods interact (hello Macerator-EE2 Blaze Rods!) then it's entirely their perogative to do so. That said, the key word here is mod interaction. In...

    Top Game of any System (Give Reasons)

    Gonna have to dispute FFVII as being the greatest. Sure, it was amazing for its time, but in terms of depth...I personally feel Final Fantasy VI comes out on top. Color me odd, but I just feel that nostalgia clouds people's judgement. Don't misunderstand though. I beat the game like 15 times...

    PS4 vs. Xbox One

    Huge difference between proprietary console and operating systems, especially in terms of profit. Don't really care about it right now, but from what I'm seeing, it looks like PS4 is coming out ahead due to some...questionable policies that come with the XBox One.

    Besides MC, what have you been playing lately?

    High Elves are Altmer. Bosmer are Wood Elves. But you're correct that in if they're called -mer, they're pretty much elven, or of elven descent in some form. Mulling around with Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer, but it's going to be facing its death throes soon. If it's not that, then Ragnarok Online...

    Weird explosion (i think)

    If you have absolute nothing but air between the the IBF and the barrel, it's possible the explosion retained enough strength to blow up your barrel.

    Weird explosion (i think)

    A chunk reset would leave the tree intact. Looks like an explosion to me. A bit odd that the cabling survived, but the 3x3 dirt hole is definitely a sign of an explosion.

    Divine RPG - Knowledge Repository (and tips and tricks)

    Because Divine RPG is a terrible, terrible mod in that the difficulty jump from vanilla to low-tier Divine RPG content is just absolutely brutal and any progress that is lost potentially means starting over from the beginning. Not that I mean to bash it. It's a fantastic mod, but it's also...

    Mystcraft ages and Pages in Chests

    Yeah there's plenty of duplicates to be had. I should know. I have 5 pages for Black and god knows how many Meadows Biome pages. Where's the Normal Sun page when I need it?! Yes, eventually you'll fill out your notebook, but that takes a lot of time and exploring. If you don't have a mod that...

    Best RTS games discussion

    Dune II? Just kidding. I only wanted to bring up the de facto granddaddy of RTS design. Sandworms are evil. That said, the Command and Conquer series is one of my favourites, with a single exception. Shame CnC4 (or rather, EA) completely destroyed it any hopes for a decent sequel. Only time...

    Lucky Portal

    Gonna one up you. No, it's not Nether related. Started new map, ended up in a horrible Redwood forest and migrated to Green Hills. Noticed Extreme Hills next to it (first stroke of luck) and noticed a Thaumcraft obsidian platform. Obsidian platform equals loot (and possible horrible death by...

    Thaumcraft Enchant options - I want your opinion!

    Combine the wands to get rid of Frugal. Charging and Frugal are conflicting enchantments, and Charging is ultimately the better enchant in the (very) long run.

    Itty bitty Apiary problem...

    So I dabbled a bit with Forestry's bees a few versions back with the Direwolf20 pack, but never got too involved with it, since it felt more like a chore. However, come the upgrade to v5.01 and my practically doing everything else, I figured "Why not get the top-tier bee of every branch?"...

    logic matrix programmer

    Crafting recipe of a Logic Matrix, Dark Iron and a Logic Matrix Programmer clones you a second one.

    logic matrix programmer

    Any reason for requiring so many? Logic Matrix Programmers never consumed themselves, last I checked. And even if you needed multiple LMPs, you could just use a recipe to clone one. One LMP can pretty much run an entire server, as long as you have the materials required to clone it.

    Does anyone have some tips for a Wither head farm?

    If you need technical information on vanilla spawning of Wither Skeletons, then watch this whole video. Mod-wise, you have Soul Shards, but you'll need to either manually kill them, or use solutions that trick the game into thinking you killed them in order for them to drop heads...

    Toby Turner (Tobuscus) is now playing with FTB!

    There is only one reaction I have. :( (Please don't tell me he followed me from Planetside 2 all the way here. Just when I decided to take a break...)
