There's not a lot I've ever fully skipped, so this should be a relatively short list. I never finished excavating a 100 block radius to bedrock around a spawn trap in vanilla to fully optimize the trap. I came pretty damn close though, but then started playing modded minecraft. I've never bred...

I literally meant the grinder. The problem largely lies in gearboxes prior to operating a bedrock breaker. You either set up 32 dc engines to start producing lube or you go the route of fermentation so you can power a better engine to run the grinder. You don't even need 32 dc engines to run...

While I suspect it is intended to go for ethanol and making the more powerful engines, I like maintenance-free solutions. To that end, shaft junctions are my friend for starting rotary craft. 32 dc engines is all I need to get a grinder going without lube.

I'll definitely have to get on updating my pack this weekend ;) I like the idea of filling in info by killing a mob. That way they've at least encountered the mob first. Maybe they need to kill several to totally fill out an entry? I don't know if its possible, but if it is you could have a...

Love your mod :) The only issue I've seen is that players may be completely unaware a given mob is even tameable, much less how to figure out how to tame it without referring to a wiki/forum post. It can be difficult to try out a bunch of different things while a monster is eating you...

Actual nerfs of other mods/vanilla are actually rather limited. I'm not sure whether or not you mean to include using hammers for plates/etc because this is a normal function of IC2. That being said, if you wanted to use these configs as a starting point, Greg lists the default value for his...

Gentlemen, he's gone to plaid.

Short of decreasing its processing time in the assembly machine or making it drop more from scrapboxes, there's nothing specific like that. However, you may want to take a look at the MachineStats.cfg and allowing multiple dragon eggs (there are a number of mods that make this possible)...

Couple things... 1. You may want to also turn off inventory unification since crafting unification and every targetable thing is otherwise disabled for the sake of performance. 2. Processing times. You could have drastically reduced these from defaults for faster machine processing time. For...

If all you really wanted to do was stop Specialmob Zombies from removing torches/trampling farmland, look for this line in the SpecialMobs.cfg: B:passive_griefing=true It's roughly in the middle of the file under the mob_griefing section. Set it to false and they'll leave your light...

If the goal is RTG pellets, it's pretty easy to maximize fuel usage in a reactor. I ended up putting in 9 cells at a time with 9 heat vents so I'd get 1 plutonium per cycle. I'm sure there's more rapid ways of wasting fuel for rtg pellets, but I didn't have a lot of spare iron lying around for...

In Monster, not having a better use for a nether star, I built the instant-kill shock panel and then put it in a public place with a button above it. Curiosity kills. This is so much more efficient than putting uranium/plutonium in a dropper/dispenser. Also in Monster, I built a roadway and...

EnderIO has Photovoltaic Cells that output MJ. Their output is configurable in the config as well in case you want more oomph for the recipe cost. RotaryCraft also has several options including wind, water and solar, but can involve quite a bit of setup. Mekanism also has Heat Generators and...

Ah, well I haven't done it in awhile. The good old 1x2x40 shaft still works well. Well it only took a few swipes from the hammer. It was kinda ridiculous.

In a modded environment with both tinkers construct (smiting hammers) and thaumcraft (warded blocks), containment and dispatch are relatively trivial. Then again, perhaps I've spent too much time in modpacks without either of those things...

Sigils, along with the nether star, always drop from a successfully killed Wither, so they're quite easy to obtain without scouring the world for dungeons.

Some monitors/tvs have higher refresh rates. Plasma lays claim to 600, but it turns out that's just a quirk of needing to be that fast to properly handle luminance.

Ironically, the first time I blew anything up IC2 related was because I had no idea how to use buildcraft engines properly and one of them exploded near my IC2 machines while I was off mining. Then later on I found out buildcraft pipes try to explode but couldn't, so they just kept trying if...

Try Rotarycraft... it's book is very helpful and it seems to be the way to go with tech in Horizons.

Keep in mind that my configs are specific to the pack they were made for, so there's some mob types turned off (balance concerns) and others made less rare as well as the armor equipping routines because I'm also using Mekanism (which does not currently have a config for its equipping routines)...
