I dont see this mentioned but when this has happened to me its either been because of water or because my refinery is full. If that water block is just a glitch are you sure that your refinery input or output isn't full? You've probably checked it already but I just thought I'd throw it out...

Yeah, sorry. I dont know how I missed that one. My bad. Thanks for being understanding about my accidental oversight.

No, you just install it along with the other mods that are listed in its readme file. (Dr zhark's spawn controller and a GUI API mod). Then you may have to tweak the spawn rates under global mod options in the menu. Thats all I had to do to get it working good with both ultimate and mindcrack. I...

Ruby swords might be worth a look. I dont know what the enchantability of it is, but with 20 levels on my first attempt I got a pick with Fortune II, Unbreaking II, and EfficiencyIII. It might have a high enchantability.

I'm convinced (although I have no proof) that enchanting books gives you way fewer good enchants. What i do when I want something like that is make a bunch of gold swords and just start enchanting those instead of the books. You've got a much better chance of getting looting on it. If you ONLY...

I've been through a number of the pages, but not all 60. Has anyone mentioned timber? it seems like it would be a good addition. I tried to add it on my own and it's not working but I havne't troubleshot it at all yet. I think I read a post where someone got it working with FTB though. It...

Yeah, I dont know then. In my case I just installed it and it works.

Theres another mod you have to install that controls the spawning of it (I can't think of the name of it but it's listed in the mod's readme file). But even with that in there, by default it doesn't spawn a lot of hostiles, mostly passive and neutral ones. You can increase the rates in game...

Effort: Noun A vigorous or determined attempt. The result of an attempt. (Note that Webster doesn't list "time") So...was time the effort that you put in? Or, did you do something to make yourself more marketable or qualified? If you did anything besides wait for time to pass you're proving...

1. yeah I dont use applied energistics. it doesn't look interesting. i shut off the mod spotlight 1/2 way through in fact. should that somehow make me inferior? Because I missed that memo. 2. I dont even know what you're talking about here. 3. Huh? I'm pointing out a case where time is not...

For the way I play, those items are mid-game, where I already have automatic mining going. So rather than making it more tedious it would be more a matter of deciding what I want to spend my limited diamonds on until more arrive in the ender chest. The biggest reason I came to FTB was for...

No, its the same amount of effort. The only change is time. The person would work at half speed for twice as long, which doesn't make anything harder, just longer. You overlooked my first post where I made just such a recommendation (about removing the ability to substitute rubies and...

Sure, I'd compare it to an hour long commute versus a 10 minute commute. Is it "harder" to spend an hour doing the exact same thing that you'd otherwise do for 10 minutes? No. The required actions to commute are the same; it's just accelerating and stopping and changing lanes and being...

My biggest fail is probably putting my T5 blaze spawner in the basement of my house (which had a wood floor between the first and second levels), then trying to remodel the glass wall. I placed one glass block and it broke the redstone connection keeping the spawner off, while the rest of the...

No, I haven't changed them yet. I usually find that it's more functional for me to farm for food so that doesn't bother me. Not having cows for leather is a bit of a pain when I want to craft books, but I usually loot villages and lich towers for those so it's not that big a deal either.

One big difference is mystcraft.

I just added mo creatures and disabled greg tech ( :) ). Its been great so far. Challenging without making me want to pull my hair out. You wont need to add Mystcraft; it's in Ultimate by default. If there is one mod that would appear to make things easier it would be mystcraft, in fact...

AMEN. Time =/= Difficulty

You could get rid of the recipes that substitute sapphires in the lapotron crystals and the rubies for the energy crystals. But I think that one of the tweaks with the ultimate pack is to make changes to the GT config so that it's harder than the regular hard mode, by default. You could reduce...

You could try installing mo creatures and starting a new world with that. Just crank up the spawn rates. There are lots of other mobs that can increase the complexity and difficulty. Ogres can even totally wreck your house and set you back. There are breeding and taming mechanics for the...
