Cobble won't be set on fire any more than stone or stone brick. Signs (and probably other wooden objects, like item frames) will cause fires next to them (but will never burn up).

They're kind of canceling out any gains they're getting from archiving the modpacks by making the launcher redownload the entire pack on every update...

The FTB launcher really needs to only download any mods/configs that are new/changed between updates, rather than re-downloading the entire thing. There's no reason for every update to cause a new 40MB+ of data to be downloaded, that's massively wasteful.

Well, you shouldn't have used a beta pack for a production server (especially considering the configs in the beta pack were pretty much only touched to fix ID conflicts, there were a few keybinding conflicts that caused some annoying problems etc) and expected things to go smoothly when the...

GregTech is still at fault for marking completely different items as "equal" in the ore dictionary (when they have vastly different construction costs), but yeah at the very least the FTB guys can configure the circuits in the ignore list of the Lexicon (although I didn't realize there was a GT...

It's highly suspect that these items are even interchangeable considering their differing costs. Who needs to spend all those diamonds/etc on a BC3 assembly table + lasers + [lots of MJs] when I can just convert an IC2 circuit into an Iron AND Gate?

Thanks to GT's abuse of the forge ore dictionary (it adds a whole bunch of unequal circuits to the ore dictionary), you can convert an 'electronic circuit' into an 'iron and gate' or a 'medium circuit board', among other things (and similar with the adv circuit). There are probably a few other...

Minecraft isn't really properly threaded so it's only going to use a single CPU core for the majority of everything, thus making it highly inefficient (and only able to use a portion of the total CPU power, hence ~40% usage). If you want to fix the periodic framerate drop you should add Optifine...

It's only in the main menu.

That would just make the game unbearably tedious, not difficult... This would also add tedium, not difficulty. Difficulty isn't "it takes 50 years to punch a single log of wood lolololololol".

My opinion is that there doesn't need to be 50000 threads on the same topic...

Okay, well it USED to work, so I wonder when they broke it...

So there's an exploit in HIS mod, and he changes ANOTHER mod in response? This seems unreasonable, to say the least.

I'm not sure what version of NEI is in the current FTB beta pack, I got the latest one myself for use on a small TC3 + ExtraBiomesXL server.

MCEdit should work fine with mod blocks, it just displays them as unknown pink blocks and leaves them alone; I used MCEdit to repair a Technic MP map during 1.8.1 when some strange chunk corruption appeared. Did a recent MCEdit update introduce a bug where it deletes unknown blocks now?

Not sure, it works perfectly fine for me in NEI 1.4.3.2. Maybe the version of NEI you have is bugged?

It's part of NEI, you need to have the NEI screen open though (item list up) to have it work, just toggle it on with "O" and you'll be able to use it.

Bowls are a MUCH better source of vacuous than chests (8 wood for 4 vac (chest) vs 3 wood for 4 vac (bowls, 4 bowls per 3 wood)). Hell, I'd consider it the "cheapest" too (easy to obtain wood that is infinitely renewable vs ores that need to be "refined" in a way and are limited? simple choice...

By the way, it's "Rei's Minimap", not "Rai's Minimap" as in the OP (well, "second post" technically, but whatever). :p

He didn't "pass along the torch", he just gave someone else permission to fork it while he's busy with BC3/etc. He'll be updating the "official" version soon enough, when he has the chance.
