Well then the biggest difference is FTB will be 1.4.5 pretty soon and at this point Redpower might be included too. I also don't know how easy additional mods could be implemented with Tekkit. With FTB and the Help of MultiMC this is very easy. Also FTB is not just a Modpack, it is a launcher...

You could get Aluminium (it's not Aluminum, thats from XyCraft :P) from materials as simple as Clay. But you need some machines first. You need a Macerator and an Industrial Centrifuge. You could search for both via NEI. If you have the Macerator either macerate Bauxit-Ore (it isn't rare but...

Hmm... such things also randomly happen in extreme hills in vanilla mc. With XB they just happen more frequently :p It is even worse with strongholds. You might have noticed if you watched Eddies Stream that on ForgeCraft all 3 strongholds got corrupted by ravines or other stuff, so that there...

I don't really care about it being maintainance-free... but it looks very clean and compact. My power-rooms or anything else normally looks like a mess, because I build first and think about it later :P

A lot of things aren't completly balanced and actually Redpower brings a new imbalance. If I'm not mistaken Greg has a config ready that will disable RedpowerGems (since Redpower does not have it^^), but I'm not sure if he wants to do this... or more if FTB wants to enable this, because Eloraam...

Well... one Cobblestone every 2 seconds? Every redstone-based cobble-generator is way faster and... totally free. And actually IC2 was useless since TE... with Xycraft it will be completly useless because even the tools are replaced by the gauntlet. And yes the Cobble-Gen + Recycler combo was...

Thats actually a design-decision she did several times. Her Blulectric-Furnaces is exactly the same as the IC2-Version and I think the pipes works the same. She don't want to make other mods obsolete by just implementing a stronger version. Pumps just work differently since they don't push...

Well I guess Direwolf does a Spotlight on the mod if it is finished anyway. He could do a spotlight now... but it would not make much sense. "Hello everybody this is Direwolf20 and today we will decorate our 9x9 with Xycraft-Blocks..." It really would not make much sense. I guess... or more...

Most gaming-companies, the most popular is named Blizzard, do it the other way around. Make it hard and tune it down later. And actually if you don't give people the hard option first, they will just move on without even knowing that more difficult options exist, but if they notice that...

I actually agree about Advanced Solars being too cheap. I like the others. Cpws Mod was purely meant to reduce serverlag, not much else. Making the stronger solars a bit more expensive than just that (although the recipes are pretty balanced at least Hybrid and Ultimate Hybrid work pretty well...

Well I guess since he is a helpful guy in general cpw will assist im. It might also be possible that Logistic-Pipes will be merged with Buildcraft, since Krapht maintains both (well the later with the help of Sengir, CovertJaguar and cpw and I guess Sengir does the mainwork? not sure about it...

There are notes here and there. But focussing this and summing everything up efficiently needs some work. If the team gets used to everything and improves on efficiency things will get a lot more struktured. I personally believe that everyone is doing his/her best or even more, which is enough...

I don't think it is difficult for new people. They will propably ask once, but they won't question the design. It is actually a problem for not so clever people that are used to do things differently. New people will expect that a pack as large as FTB will have some changes, even to...

First we should bring some new information to the discussion. 1. GregTech will have a Jackhammer soon. Although it is not a mining-drill it breaks all kind of stone very fast. So all you have to do is use a pickaxe for Ores. 2. GregTech will include a new Solar-Panel in the future. It will not...

You need Blaze-Rods and such anyway in FTB, you even need the Blast Furnace for Railcraft. So the drill is just moved backwards in the tree. If you don't use railcraft you should just disable it which will change the drill-recipe. Actually the Blast-Furnace is just a temporary solution since...

Well I might provide a more deep explanation to what I do. Normally I start building a house and place a waypoint on it. For this I harvest some wood (I prefer birches, but I chop down oaks at the start to get apples) and build the basic tools, a furnace and a crafting-table. I also build a...

How about automating the shutdown-process? In this case running the farm for a short time every few minutes should be enough if the engine is strong. Actually Gregs does something that is although unbalanced the totally right thing. It increases the power of Generators and Geothermals. They...

Without HD-Textures you should never run into issues with 2gigs for the client. But yes, HD-textures eat a lot so more information about the system + how you play would make things a lot easier. But well Railcraft-Anchors should work, at least they do for me. And they work regardless of your...

Well Redpower2 and the XYCraft-Worldgen should be out pretty soon. Thaumcraft needs propably longer since it is most likely not stable enough for a release. But yes, it seems as if Azanor repopulate existing worlds with his ores, which could be really funny, since it can replace all smoothstone...

I guess Forge changes it to keep the dimensions loaded... well at least my Quarry and my Netherpump work somehow even if I'm not in that age/the nether.
