    Running FTB (Client) on an Intel SR2500

    this part: Means you wont have room to put in a gaming graphics card Also, since the description doesnt say what size HDD it comes with, you will need to buy one of those too I also looked up the CPU on intel's site...

    Feed The Beast Monster - Best Starting Power?

    I think monster still has IC2? if so, then a single induction furnace will easily supply all your charcoal needs. Power your tree farm with EU using a several generators running off the charcoal from the induction furnace. Put the extra charcoal in a BIG chest or DSU.

    What is YOUR most important mod?

    Id have to go with TiCo as well. The tools make life SO much easier. The ore processing is nice, but w/o the other mods sucking up ores that would be of limited use.

    Energy cell + quarry

    make sure you place the quarry block outside the red lines from the markers. make sure you are facing the corner marker when you place your quarry block. I had the same problem with quarries when I first started FTB.

    Simple quarry setup

    The confusion around itemducts is why I always use a diamond pipe to void pipe to filter junk comming out of my quarry. In early game, I filter junk out of my quarry and dump the ores into a chest and return to empty the chest & add fuel. At that stage, I find using a trash can instead of a...

    Ways to move horizontally in air

    try a few angel blocks from extra utils. you can place them in the air, and then walk on them. they are cheap,so make a stack and get "almost" instant scaffolding

    Pranks you have played on other players

    i'll bet not. "good" pranks are annoying, but non-destructive. ie no lost blocks in your base, and no player deaths.

    Pranks you have played on other players

    Interesting prank in vanilla - use worldEdit to select my friend's entire base. Then replace all air blocks with sand. He got back by flooding my base with 10,000 chickens and lagged me out of the game.

    My new PC

    Another thing to look at when dropping a lot of cash into a PC -- how long do you want it to last? Just until graduation? or until you retire? ... or what? If you want your pc to last a few years, overclocking is not a good idea. But if your overclocking just to overclock -- then go for it...

    Nether Quartz

    And then for those who dont want to use morph - you can still do that. You just cant run blindly. You have to stop and deal with the random lava blocks that show up. But for simplicity.. IMO, the digital miner wins. Place 3-4 blocks and your swimming in nether quartz (1 digi miner, 1...

    My new PC

    Well a gtx 780 will have no effect at all on server performance, and probably very little on the client. My old gtx580 already does 100-300fps on the client, and does a decent job on other 3d games. A 770 or 780 will probably get the same on minecraft and will definately do nicely on other 3d...

    The autonomous activator

    I found the multiple auto-activators to be overly complicated, so I just used a MFR harvester. Getting power was easy since I put it in a spot near my existing power conduits. From there, I just used a single auto-activator + vacuum hopper to convert the berries to liquid xp and store it in a...

Find a spot, hold down mouse button and run. (make sure to pause once in a while and let the server...

    Applied energistics masters inquire within! Need some help. :D

    "Shift-click" is the problem here. dont blindly encode recipes with shift-click and expect them to work 100% of the time. Especially with recipes using multiple TYPES of the same item. Wood and sticks are a great example. If you shift-click an ic2 battbox or vanilla chest, you will get a...

    My new PC

    Not sure why everyone says its not a good idea to run client and server on the same PC assuming you have the resources. I do it all the time with zero issues -- 1-3 servers and 1 client. You will of course need a PC with enough power to handle it. My suggestions: min 4 core cpu with...

    Desktop vs Laptop for FTB ? and other tech questions

    well the $100 is the prices of education.... if you want to build another PC in the future, do it yourself and save the $100. If you just want it to work right now, then spend the $ -or- you can spend the $100 and VERY carefully watch the guy as he builds your PC.. ask questions, etc, etc. you...

    Server Computer Build

    Try this on for size: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3cirG I did not pick based on price, but based on the need for a SERVER, and based on my own experience with the brands and components. Does not include a case or an OS in the price.
