I appreciate what you're saying, but this isn't a great time to be pawning everything off as, "it's free, deal" or "circumstances beyond our control." It doesn't matter whether this move winds up being worth $100 or $100mil to the FTB as a whole. When you spend a year cultivating a brand and...

I'll risk being the doodoo head in the crowd, but anything I say is meant in the form of respectful feedback. I'm hoping that with this announcements and the subsequent steps towards the described business model that we can expect to see FTB treated like a business. And by that I'm not...

It should be noted that the ore tripling system works in batches. Each batch takes 20 minutes, but you can have anywhere from one item to 4-5 stacks or something in one batch (it's been a long time since I touched anything from Factorization). The most often repeated criticism of the...

It's only luck if you're not approaching it methodically. The game logic says that in every chunk there will be between x and y diamonds from bedrock to y=16. They're there. Unless you're gutting every chunk in the appropriate range, you can't say whether there are the "normal" amount of...

Not a box:

You can get Optifine and MPS to work together by disabling the custom render settings in the MPS config. I've got OptiFine/shaders/MPS working in a custom 1.5.2 world without issue. I know it's not DW20, but at least I can confirm that MPS won't be the mod that holds you back if it doesn't work.

Try this: http://tinyurl.com/b4k5kla Generally speaking, mod packs and shader mods don't behave well together. I've got SEUS working in a custom pack with < 10 mods and all I had to do above and beyond the instructions in the guide I linked was disabled the render settings in the MPS...

No, people have been insisting that diamonds are made more rare in this or that mod pack for this or that version for ages. What happened is that the need for diamonds was increased and it exposed the differences in how people go about finding diamonds. The people who already knew how to...

Why do people not like brussel sprouts? Why is there more than one flavor of ice cream? Why do cars come painted different colors? You're not asking an objective question. You may not be aware of this, but when you build a structure in the real world you always start with a flat base (or a...

Added time lapse build footage for the 'Cradle of Power' advanced facility.

Free or paid doesn't matter...feedback is feedback. It can be very difficult to soak in all the various kinds of feedback you get when you offer up your work to the masses, but it's still feedback, and if you see it repeated on a regular basis it suggests strongly that it merits attention. In...

Not really. When you're trying to get someone interested in something, pointing them to hours worth of generic media is the LAST thing you should be doing. 5-10 minutes is about the most you have to get their attention, and a 20-40 minute mod spotlight on a single mod out of 100+ doesn't cut...

Sockpuppet troll, which makes it all the more tragic, as a good sockpuppet troll can actually be amusing on occasion. Sadly, this one laid on the synthetic dumb a little too thick and missed the comedic window.

Added link to latest Global Builders' Project video (dynamic list menus) and updated the intro blah blah a bit.

Efficiency is only a concern if you make it a concern, and it doesn't require constant input of cobble from an extruder. When you want lava, you put in cobblestone. Cobblestone is pretty easy to get. We're not talking about a magma crucible as part of a power plant. I'm talking about a magma...

Similar to what others have said, there are uses for lava that don't involve low maintenance power sources. Think, "What can I use a bucket of lava for?" The answer(s) are why cobblestone is an option.

Wireless modems and wired modems are identical in their usage as far as the API is concerned. The effective range of a computer's wireless modem is dictated by the altitude of the computer, and if there is a thunderstorm going on the range is cut by 75% (to a minimum of 16 blocks).

There's a post around here on these forums somewhere that outlines the process for getting shaders to work. Click here. (I have it as a tinyurl because I use the link elsewhere.) If there's one piece of advice I could offer at the risk of someone getting their jimmies in a jam, it would be...

As above, except I would either use a relay in place of transposer/chest, or a filter in place of the transposer. Then you can short circuit the sorting with an overflow chest at the end to catch anything that barrels won't take (either because the barrel is full or you've already assigned...

Seems to me there's a decent amount of competition already, arising from the existence of mods that are able to compete. That's the key. The mods themselves bring enough to the table that a not insignificant number of people choose to use them. Factorization is not one of those mods. It got...
