    Favorite weapon in FTB?

    A gun that shoots anvils. I have found the meaning of life.

    About GregTech Machines Blowing Up In The Rain

    Every time I see people building GregTech stuff outside I die a little inside. Blast furnaces do not belong in fields, they do NOT! This makes me OCD rage almost as much as those people who won't make armor because it's too expensive, and then die all the time and lose all their stuff thus...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    What you speak of is possible, but foolishly difficult. Crumble is uncontainable. Erosion is also impossible to prevent but it is relatively slow and manageable, and maybe even useful if you're insane and like having the whole world turn into a renewable lava source around you. The other...

    Thoughts on MFR

    Since it came up, on the topic of realism: Steve's Carts loggers at least resemble something that could cut down a tree, albeit a very small one that happened to be growing up through the tracks directly in front of them. MFR harvesters meditate in one spot and stare intently at trees that are...

    Favorite weapon in FTB?

    I should take another look at that Twilight scepter. For WMD you can use Mystcraft portals to jump anything including but not limited to TNT, nukes, all the mobs from your grinder, Railcraft locomotives and anvils.

    ModularPimpSuit

    Yellow head, red body, yellow pants, red feet, red power tool. In a cave. With a box of scrap. You could also install the module to make it transparent and set your skin to be The Flash, or Superman if you can get a cape. Let's face it; we all wanted to be a superhero at some point and most...

    Is there a way to make...

    The cheap lazyman's RedPowerless solution is to use the camo gates from Secret Rooms. They make a pretty good instabridge if you point them sideways; basically it isn't a gate at all and it builds fake blocks outwards when powered and tries to disguise itself based on surroundings. I won't miss...

    Thoughts on MFR

    So I built a tree farm. First I did it the wrong way with one dirt block over a planter and chicken sewage for fertilizer. The results were adequate but it was going to be a challenge to make enough fertilizer to keep up. Then I figured out how to use the mod the right way, ditched the...

    Thoughts on MFR

    So MFR grinders can get essence from soul shard critters, and not that you should ever need to but you can get soul shard kills from a MFR grinder. Did I mention that the auto-enchanter is really, really strong? Holy cross-mod exploits, Batman!

    Ways to kill blazes

    Tesla coils should be used more. Also, MFR grinders.

    Ideas for Evil Base (bwahhahaha)

    Good times were had on an old server with just leaving an unlabeled Mystcraft portal deep in the base next to something I wanted protected (the MFFS control room). Noobs exploring the base *had* to discover what was in it. Like flies to honey, heh. The actual trap was mostly harmless; just an...

    Redstone Power Supervolcano's, found one?

    What you get are these weird splorts of lava on the roof. If you clean up the lava there's just a bit of basalt replacing the bedrock, and under it there's a very thin lava-filled basalt pipe going all the way down into normal nether. This doesn't ever happen close to the origin, but when it...

    Redstone Power Supervolcano's, found one?

    RP2 volcanoes are kind of derpy. Beautiful, but derpy. If you think the redwood volcanoes are weird then fly far out on the roof of the nether.

    Unique Energy, Your Set-Ups and Plans.

    These are Factorization steam turbines, which are indestructible. However, the factorization consumer is uncraftable in 1.1.2 because the recipe wasn't updated and how Factorization power works changed a lot all of a sudden. In other words, this invention is useless unless you saved a solar...

    Pink slimeballs!

    Ah, just like real life.

    Unique Energy, Your Set-Ups and Plans.

    Factorization steam turbines can accept Railcraft steam. It's a dirty exploit but it gets the job done.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Try switching to survival, then messing with the gravisuit. If you fiddle with it in creative you might not notice anything! MPS can outrun that armor though, and over a long distance there's no contest. It is the preferred armor of showoffs. Oh, and unless they've changed it you can put tool...

    What's Your Favorite Mod?

    Thermal Expansion and Modular Power Suits. Thaumcraft also has some really nice stuff. TE is a a well-thought-out mod that lets you do industrial stuff and buildcrafty stuff in a non-laggy, Greg-free way. MPS is, well... stupidly overpowered on easymode, but it has a hardmode to craft and it...

    MFFS to EU?

    Testing suggests this isn't a thing anymore, and the MFFS converter is kind of useless.

    MFFS to EU?

    The MFFS converter can convert FE to EU. I would like a setup where I put in forcicium as fuel and EU comes out. I have read about other people doing this but I can't seem to profitably extract FE from forcicium. Was that power loop patched?
