    First mod for minecraft ever?

    Stone boat for Lava and the Nether back in Minecraft Alpha. If I can find the original link, I'll put it here... Oh, and IC1 came before Buildcraft. But they did get popular around the same time...

    Updating Individual Mods?

    You can manually update the mods in the same fashion as you would a standard Minecraft client, by going into the same folder sets where the pack is kept. However, you may need to rely on helping your server members on manually updating that mod into the latest version. I believe that's the only...

    *turns on Pumps and Quarries* Wait, Twilight Forest has features? I wonder for how long, though...

    Xycraft/Soaryn Thoughts

    What's so bad about getting some extra Fractous, Imperito, Lux, and Iron nuggets?

    Oil Mystcraft Page

    made to be exploited = OP (for me, at least) Well, last I checked, Power Crystals was in favor for infinite loops, so the Oil Fab won't get changed anytime soon. So it's not going to be nerfed. Also, there are config. options for it, so you can 'self nerf/buff' it on your own. And, again last...

    Oil Mystcraft Page

    All that really sounds like is "don't nerf my block, bro." In which case, I honestly have no sympathy for you... Especially when you use a tiered energy production system, where you use low renewable energy systems to mitigate high energy systems costs... (My personal favorite is Wind/Water...

    Oil Mystcraft Page

    Well, yeah, not all oil sites are going to be massive springs. Some of the 'overlooked' veins are the crap pools that have less than 20 blocks of oil. But still, it is realisitic to have situations where 'crap oil' is apart of your geology. On Earth, 'Sweet crude' is mostly found in the Middle...

    Oil Mystcraft Page

    Taken from source code. Open Source rules allow for me to post it here... private void doPopulate(World world, Random random, int x, int z) { // A spring will be generated every 40th chunk. if(random.nextFloat() > 0.025f) return; // Do not generate water in the End or the Nether...

    Oil Mystcraft Page

    Oil comes from Buildcraft, not vanilla Minecraft. You can't use that argument with this. Also, a lesser known fact is that BC spawns Oil every 40 chucks (only know this by looking at the world gen. parameters, since BC is open source and you can look at those kinds of things using a program that...

    Gregtech needs to be harder? Hardcore gregtech settings? Wanted <3 :D?

    For those of us who are not made of time, tedious can equate to being hard. Plus, roaming the vast Minecraft landscape for materials relying on the RNG of resource distribution is not my idea of fun. At best, it's better to jump straight into Thaumcraft and by-pass all of the tech at first...

    Steam Boilers vs IC2 EU generators.

    Considering that it is the work of sole individuals who are making these mods... Plus, sometimes people want to be different and technical and work with something huge and monstrous (no pun intended). For a sandbox game, there is no 'competitive' edge to it when it comes to simply building a...

    A Player's Guide to Redpower 2 Blutricity

    Which makes me love IC even more. Course, I did wish it came with these types of measurements. But for simplistic sake, I guess some sacrifices had to be made... If I didn't think the IC2 team was so scared of altering their ENet, I'd try to convince them to move toward this model of energy...

    Gregtechs role in the modpacks.

    Off-Topic: Mine's creative.. Just not industrious. She won't use my electric furnace and keeps making the cobble ones. I eventually have to hide the coal from her, lol...

    Gregtechs role in the modpacks.

    I don't know why more emphasis isn't placed on the ability to distribute configs... I mean, all they are is txt files that you can practically e-mail to whoever, whenever... Perhaps we need to add a 'download config.' option to the launcher? Might make the current packs slightly robust and less...
