It varies very heavily depending on what you're looking to do, and what type of user you are. For introductory users, it means you can find a distribution of Linux that someone else has modified that meets your needs. There are distributions nearly as fully featured as Windows, and others...

You can also make Floral Fertilizer by dropping Bonemeal into a Mana Pool over an Alchemical Catalyst, which makes for /much/ faster generation of flowers later on.

Once you've gotten established in Botania, you can transmute Natura Redwoods from Willow Saplings. Likewise, Rainbow Eucalyptus can come from Japanese Maple Shrub Saplings (green). In both cases, the 1x1 trees are much easier to farm up to 49 saplings than doing the same by Mutandis. It does...

You can remove Recipes from the TConstruct Smeltery pretty easily, but I don't think you can change it from using Lava as fuel. Mariculture's Cruicible Furnace is more customizable, including changing fuels to include Steam, but you'd need to tweak its recipe pretty heavily to match...

While I wouldn't run it for any longer than necessary, the Applied Energistics Grindstone is available as soon as you mine three AE quartz, have a furnace, and have a few pieces of lumber and cobblestone. Tedious, but a lot less than swimming to get twice the silver. It might make sense to...

This explains so much.

I'd recommend starting with native Forestry. GenDustry takes more and higher-tier resources, along with significant amounts of power, and while it does make things simpler, this is overkill early on and can get in the way of understanding Bee basics. GenDustry can also screw you over if you're...

Are you using the 1.8 version of NEI on an earlier version of Minecraft? The current official forum link defaults to 1.8, even though most people are playing modded MineCraft 1.7.10, and you have to select from the dropdown box to get a list of earlier versions.

Wolfdale can support EM64T (aka Windows 64-bit), and it's a pretty decently quick 3 GHZ processor. Two cores isn't a little weak, but Minecraft doesn't do multithreading well anyway, so it's not that big of a penalty. I've run fairly intense modpacks on a laptop with a 1.8 ghz variant of the...

Point, and one option I'd not have thought about. They still need redstone signal and their own block space, though, right? I was thinking something that'd merge the wooden engine and the wooden pipe into a single block, perhaps at significant metal or redstone cost. It's not so much the...

I'm not as heavy as BuildCraft user, nor was I during its height, but there are a few things that come to mind : * Documentation. I don't expect a Lexica BuildCraftia, but there are more tools available for in-game documentation now than there were before. Even if you don't include the full...

Probably already known, but there are some sporadic issues related to fluid piping in a number of mods. Updating BuildCraft to 6.4.15 and RailCraft to 9.6.1.0 fixed a repeating NullFluid crash when a wooden pipe was connected to a bottom corner of the Wooden Water Tank, and updating Tinker's...

They output three ingots per ore block, including ore sand blocks. You'll generally want a larger High Temp Oven -- the max size can process six items at a time. Once it heats up, it'll actually melt ore blocks much faster than a normal smeltery, and it can also hold stacks in each, which...

Reactivity is the display text for the FuelFertility variable, and along with control rod settings and a few other variables, is used to determine the consumption rate of fuel. Higher Reactivity is better for fuel efficiency, but the value that raises it also raises heat production. Note that...

Not Shneekey, but spent some time thinking this over. There are a pretty sizable number of autocrafting options. You'll want to get a handle on things like Cyclic Assemblers, Liquicrafter, et cetera anyway eventually. For this particular situation, though, it's pretty much exactly what MACs do...

Blazing Pyrotheum does /not/ make a good Cruicible heat source. It makes an even worse one if your base is made primarily of oak. Including the floor.

Using a TiCo pan to kill some of the mobs that were filling my new darkroom while I was working on the MFR Grinder was a slightly bad idea, I'll admit, but not /that/ Derp, and the extra bonemeal and such didn't hurt. Doing so without Armor is a bit of a derp. Noticing the mob with the weird...

You can disassemble the Chamber and expand it fairly easily, so I've always started with a 3x3x3 and built up. You'll probably want to expand eventually, but that first half-dozen Patterns makes building the rest of a larger array a lot less of a hassle -- especially in Agrarian Skies, where...

MineTweaker's supposed to have support for ThermalExpansion machines. You could add the individual ore gravels and sands themselves, bypassing the OreDictionary, which should avoid the exploit and still leave the pulverizers functional. Call is...

Mobs have basic AI that tries to prevents them from walking off things that count as 'ledges' without reason, but blocks with trapdoors (or signs, or a few other block types) don't count as ledges to the AI. So if you line the drop hole and canals with trapdoors or signs, the mobs will drop...
