    [64x] Soartex Fanver - Smooth and Clean FTB

    Hi mate, I'm a big fan of the Soartex pack and it and JohnSmith are my go to packs for Minecraft. I have a mod that I've created that is specifically designed for using with the FTB pack to fill the oil/fuel to EU gap, without breaking balance. The link is below in my signature and to note...

    Bees, ExtraBiomes and flowers

    Hi all, If you want to get the custom flowers that come with ExtraBiomesXL working with apiaries and bees, this is how you do it: You will need to edit the following file: minecraft/config/forestry/apiculture.conf And add the custom flower block ID and metadata values under the...

    Petroleum Generator (A Forestry-esque BC/IC crossover mod)

    Awesome, I was about to send you a message about that!

    Petroleum Generator (A Forestry-esque BC/IC crossover mod)

    0.14 update brings the following additions: More better fuel power boost! - Fuel/oil now give 300k and 30k EU, respectively. Previous values were still over-nerfed considering they are non-renewable resources, making them unattractive compared to sources such as lava and biofuel. Less shaving...

    Petroleum Generator (A Forestry-esque BC/IC crossover mod)

    This and @Antice's follow up are two really good points. Balance is a difficult enough thing to achieve in a static setting such as vanilla minecraft, let along the dynamic balance you get with a modded version. Adding or removing a mod or two can rapidly change the feel of the game and the...

    Petroleum Generator (A Forestry-esque BC/IC crossover mod)

    Yeah the cost of the Geothermal is the pain in my behind with this mod - they are way too cheap! My current focus would be more likely to make the generator more efficient at burning fuel as opposed to making it cheaper (see below). Especially after some discussions with peeps on the IC2 forum...

    Anyone else got that feeling?

    I have that with Eve - I don't have the time for it but damn that is one beautiful looking game.

    Magic World - where to start?

    In previous games without IC I've also generally moved towards making a forestry peatbog farm early on, giving a fairly decent renewable energy source early on. The forestry peat-fired engine is only 1 MJ/t but one peat brick lasts for ages. The engine can be used to run the peatbog farm (it...

    [16x] Familiar yet Different [1.6.X-1.7.X][FTB][Dead]

    I like your textures man, really nice! I'd be honoured if you had the time to have a go at including one for my current mod, link in my signature. It is a BC-IC crossover mod to generate EU using buildcraft resources with the same feel of the forestry mechanics. People seem to think that it fits...

    Induction Smelter and/or Pulverizer?

    Why do you only use it for lead and silver and not the other ores?

    Communal mystcraft, or: how to solve a crisis on infinite worlds?

    The 'one age per user' I think is a fair method, especially so if you have a requirement that a user needs to have been on the server for a few weeks first - might help give a feel of progression. If you combine it with some sort of sensible limits on chunk loaders and a schedule of resets to...

    Petroleum Generator (A Forestry-esque BC/IC crossover mod)

    Lol, it's cool man: I derailed my own thread in the IC2 forums talking about Railcraft too - I love that mod! I think it is because my father never bought me that model train set when I was a child ;) I'd love to hear what you think of it (the mod) regarding balance (especially with the 0.10...

    GregTech Debate Thread

    My first encounter with Gregtech (GT) left me confused when a bunch of recipes had changed. I was determined to give it a fair go so I had some playtesting on 'vanilla FTB' with GT enabled. What I found was that with GT installed I started to tend towards some of the other mods for similar...

    Petroleum Generator (A Forestry-esque BC/IC crossover mod)

    After a bunch of discussions on this forum, the IC2 forums and a bit of play-testing, v0.10 is out, with the following changes: Fuel power boost! - Fuel/oil now give 200k and 30k EU, respectively. Previous values were over-nerfed considering they are non-renewable resources, making them...

    Railcraft, trains and loaders

    Righto thanks for the tip, I'll give that a go. The loaders give of a redstone signal right? I imagine that once Redpower is in with decent redstone you could have a setup with a bunch of AND gates that would only enable the front boarding track once all loaders give the all clear signal!

    Railcraft, trains and loaders

    Could you describe your set up for me, perhaps there is an obvious thing in how to set this up that I've missed. How do you have your boarding/holding tracks configured? One under each loader? Or do you have just one for the front of the train??

    Railcraft, trains and loaders

    Hey guys, Has anybody had any luck creating trains and getting them to work with loaders? When I make a train of several chest carts and have a loader/unloader set up with a boarding or holding track (either the cart or train version) it doesn't seem to work quite as expected. The first cart...

    MineMod.org | Premium FTB Server

    IGN: DrCeph Where you heard about the server: This forum ;) Why you would like to play on the server: I play SSP heaps, figured it would be good to find other minecrafters! If you have any bans on record: nope What can you bring to the community: I hate griefing, and I develop a BC/IC2 crossover...

    Petroleum Generator (A Forestry-esque BC/IC crossover mod)

    A different texture for online and offline state is in my 'secret' TODO list, here: https://github.com/chrisduran/petroleumgenerator/issues?milestone=1 I'm still figuring out how to change the texture, it doesn't seem to be as intuitive as I was hoping (which seems standard for modding...
