    Gregtech good or bad?

    Well you won't even need this option. If you are on a server you have to use the server-configs anway and if you play alone you also have to use local configs.

    Gregtech good or bad?

    Hmm... the launcher could get the option for an easy config-swap. Also a lot of server enable different ores than FTB enables by default. So there are a lot of reason to make sharing the configs more easy.

    Is FTB updated to Minecraft 1.4.5?

    That's not completly right, they can't use the code the modder used, because the modders actually own the changes they made to Mojang base-classes although they don't own the classes themself. So Mojang has to code the stuff for themself, but well they propably go for a rewrite for a lot of...

    Will Eloraam's RedPower be a part of FTB ModPack as soon as she releases it?

    Well actually people used scripts to search the site for update-information so I guess it is better that it is down, since this would have caused a lot of traffic. Seeing all the work she already put into porting it beyond 1.3.2 I somehow think that she is looking forward to a release too. I...

    Optifine and what else...

    Technically all mods that use forge or don't modify base-classes work with FTB. Optifine exspecially is, but it is a base-class mod like forge, but it is fully combatible with forge. http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/how-to-install-optifine-and-jar-mods-in-beta-pack.553/ Since it is...

    Low on tin

    Well IC2-Ore used to create best arround the layer of 40. The problem in FTB is that only forestry-tin is enabled which is bit problematic since some mods (exspecially GregTech) increased the tin-usage to account for multiple mods spawning it. The better option would be reducing tin-usage, which...

    X-Rayers, speedminer hackers, flyhackers are here!

    Actually most mods aren't even out for bukkit. It would be pretty easy to create a modpack with bukkit, but without the mods it would be difficult. Since it seems like the bukkit-team refused to cooperate with the Forge-Devs to create a single API which would not require porting all mods over...

    Question about redundency, and a second on some trees.

    To your first question: There are 3 wrenches. A bronze wrench from Forestry, another bronze wrench from IC2 and a iron wrench from Buildcraft. Buildcraft and Forestry-wrenches are interchangeable since they are both for rotating blocks in the mod. If nothing has changed the IC2 wrench does not...

    Is FTB appropriate for MineCraft newbs?

    Actually disabling and reenabling mods just adds confusing since they change so much. Forestry does bronze different from IC2, IC2 adds another rail-recipe which is disabled again by railcraft and well Gregs just changes everything. Basically you could just use all the mods and start a game...

    [Question] About some of the mods.

    Actually I heard Xen0 saying something like EE2 was the greatest mistake of his life and just a bunch of shit or something like this... and he created the mod^^. So yeah if even the creator says it's broken it surely is. It just does not fit with other mods, since it is based all around...

    Will Eloraam's RedPower be a part of FTB ModPack as soon as she releases it?

    yeah insulated is much better for lighting, but lighting normally causes client-side issues. The 0,2sec Timers are known and they are disabled in the config by most servers. 1 sec is the fastest intervall most servers allow which is enough. Overintense abuse of fast timers also causes troubles...

    Gregtech question.

    Basically FTB is just a launcher. There might be several modpack-options in the future. But you don't have to mess with the configs but then you have to go with GregTech.

    Mob grinder

    Well... how about wind or water? And you should be able to suffocate them with quicksand. Since they seem to be able to spawn on quicksand they will instantly sink into it starting to suffocate and you can easily transport the items away with water-flow. Eloraam did this in her castle, but...

    Gregtech good or bad?

    Since... I think it was Beta 1.8 or 1.7 the world is like swiss cheese. If you happen to find an area with no cave underneath you should go play roulette or such. It is highly unlikely. I never managed to get down without crossing lava or water and often even more than one ravine. I normally...

    Will Eloraam's RedPower be a part of FTB ModPack as soon as she releases it?

    Hmm... I know that the 0,2sec intervalls on the timer to weird things. I normally set the config to only allow at least a 20-tick-cylce which would be the 1sec thing. Basically every block next to the redalloy-wire will have a blockupdate, which is bad for servers. Maybe normal redstone powers...

    Will Eloraam's RedPower be a part of FTB ModPack as soon as she releases it?

    Never had this issue. I had an underground layout with quite the opposite effect. I build it purely with normal redstone and replaced it with redalloy-wire (well... redalloy-wire is more expensive and it worked with normal redstone anyway, since it was just a timer pulsing tons of machines)...

    Treecapitator

    True, but the person we are speaking about is named slowpoke and feels that it is OP. And without the right config-settings it surely is.

    Gregtech good or bad?

    No, not "that one". You don't need a machine at all. Just a bucket. Just place lava in the right spots and turn it into obsidian with water. And yes you can skip a lot if you happen to find some diamonds early (like in a mineshaft-chest). Also dungeons are your friend... they happen to hold...

    Portal fail

    I noticed and edited my post^^ (was hoping nobody sees the mistake -.-)

    Portal fail

    Hmm thats unfortunate. I'm not sure if you could destroy the portal somehow. Does it portal you back instantly? If yes you will most likely need to create another age, if no you might be able to get a shot of with the mining-laser destroying the portal. PS: You could try to build a portal on...
