While spiders do require 2 blocks high spawning space, if the top block is a "transparent" block (glass/slabs/ect) spiders can still spawn. So use solid blocks 1 block above the ground, that should stop any spawns. Though you can also use a design Etho used, with a slab every so often on the...

I don't think it'll be anywhere near quarry levels of resource income unless you've got stacks upon stacks of bushes. I mean they produce at a decent speed but it's only nuggets and some bushes are so rare you'll never have a huge amount of them (e.g. gold bushes seem to be rarer than diamonds...

My way in Unleashed so far: 1) make a bed asap 2) skip every night using that bed while exploring for hours and collecting resources along the way 3) once I find a nice place make a small home 4) set up farms for all kinds of stuff I picked up while exploring (trees, berries, cotton...

Just an FYI the auto crafting table was part of vanilla BC. Redpower had the project table, with blue prints and a built in chest.

I tested the MFR Harvester with Blueberry bushes (I assume ore berry bushes are the same) and without upgrades it only harvests them in a 1 high 3x3 area in front of it. So to use it effectively you're either going to need a bunch of them or upgrade them (or both). I also tried the fruit...

Ah true, I'm an SSP guy though so for me getting a bed is one of the first things I do and skip nights until I'm done exploring and built a bit of a base :P

You can find pools of it underground and on the surface of certain biomes. It's purple and if you touch it you'll get poisoned. I'm not sure what the biomes are called that have them, but I remember 1 having a lot of dead trees (some sort of wasteland no doubt) and I've seen them in the...

imo beds are OP. 3 planks + 3 wool and exploring becomes one of the safest activities you can do in MC. And with the surface ores TiC (I think) adds it's pretty rewarding as well (outside villages and other stuff you'll find). Also the Hammer from TiC, even just a stone one can clear huge...

Slabs block light, so instead of a room I dig out a row in the wall, put the ore berry brushes in there and cap it off with slabs. You can still pick the brushes through the gap on the slab, you can't walk on them or get damaged and you don't need a dark room. My plan so far was to use golems...

I like ravines to look for ore berries, most ravines I've come across in Unleashed have 1 type of ore berry or more. Iron isn't the most common though, but nowhere near as rare as gold or silver (or at least that's my experience with finding ore berries so far). There are also trades with...

For my taste it's a bit too hostile, but I'm not that great at fighting in MC (and I'll admit I'm a bit of a scaredy cat when it comes to MC). I do agree it's better that it's more hostile though, to me it makes sense the Nether should be a place where you want to get out of asap (in most...

If you decide to go for a loop you should consider using Insertion Pipes (I believe they're now part of TE). They will automatically insert stuff if there is space in an adjacent inventory, so if stuff loops all the way around you know all your machines are filled up with all they can take. You...

For now I'm going with Unleashed, but I do miss GT. For me there is no competition between 1.4.7 and 1.5.2 though, 1.5.2 is miles ahead imo.

You can also use the "tab" key to auto complete whatever you want to type, that way you can be certain you make no typos and everything is recognized. That said, I think Santa is right and it should work if you type that.

I just used some of my first iron and seared bricks to upgrade my tool station and made a stone/wood Hammer, Lumber Axe, Excavator and Scythe. Needless to say early game just became a lot easier. The hammer just makes huge tunnels insanely fast, even if it's only made of wood and stone. I can...

I don't know how much recently changed, but before my break from FTB I definitely preferred to play with GT. It might be a lot more work and more time consuming, but I still feel it tied all the mods together into 1 pack. I also like it added things like rubies to make energy crystals and allows...

Yesterday I started a new world in Unleashed, so today I finally picked a spot to settle down on the border between an Orchard and Jade Cliffs biome. I set up some basic farms for Sugar Cane, Cactus, Cotton, Carrots, BoP Apple trees and I planted a few bushes of the 4 eatable berry types of TiC...

Yeah I'm also pretty sure Oak is the only one. Afaik all the others require a certain amount of room around them. That said, I have to try that lumber axe :D

An obsidian pipe has quite a big range with a Redstone Energy Cell next to it, at least if that still works (it's been a while since I've played FTB and a lot has changed xD).

I think you need to disable "Hide extensions for known file types" in the folder options. Press "alt" and a menu bar at the top of the window should appear. Go to Tools -> Folder Options. On the "View" tab you'll find a list with a lot of options, disable the "Hide extensions for known file...
