    Discussion of Changes for Lite 1.2, Tech 1.2, Direwolf20 5.2, MindCrack 8.2 and Magic World 7.2

    If you need help I found a great guide on these forums that I'll post a link to. One of my friends became obsessed with his bees to the point that he got burned out, but he liked the guide as well. Since I don't like watching youtube videos all the time, I would rather refer to an easy to read...

    Advanced Solar panel too expensive?

    Considering all the other options out there for power, I think it's great that the recipe for advanced solars was changed. Requires a bit more thought to build a sustainable power source than just plopping down a magic derp box that creates far more energy than it should...Just my thoughts, I...

    GROWLE'S IMPROMPTU GUIDE TO SOULS, RANDOM EXPLORATION, & "STUFF"

    Thanks! I honestly didn't expect it to be so long...It was originally only a few sentences in response to some other thread, I'm just going to place the blame on an extremely slow day at work... I was about a quarter in to proofreading before I realized it was time to go home :oops: Oh if...

    GROWLE'S IMPROMPTU GUIDE TO SOULS, RANDOM EXPLORATION, & "STUFF"

    Aaaaand I think that's about it for now. I'm sure I'm missing one or two things, but for the most part I hope this helps answer some questions for anyone either starting out and interested in what does what, or even those who are more experienced and didn't want to ask! I would have added more...

    GROWLE'S IMPROMPTU GUIDE TO SOULS, RANDOM EXPLORATION, & "STUFF"

    4. Villages: Everyone has run into a village at some point, these spawn just about everywhere in the overworld. Many people overlook certain things of value in these however. In the modpacks that I have experience with (Mindcrack / Ultimate), it seems ALMOST every village has the same setup...

    GROWLE'S IMPROMPTU GUIDE TO SOULS, RANDOM EXPLORATION, & "STUFF"

    1. The purple obsidian ring things (thaumcraft obsidian totems): They're a bit harder to approach in updated modpacks due to having a wisp spawner instead of the old pigman one. Still, if you're quick and your inventory isn't full, you can run in and ninja (i.e. loot quickly) most of the good...

    GROWLE'S IMPROMPTU GUIDE TO SOULS, RANDOM EXPLORATION, & "STUFF"

    AMAZING! you have obsidian, a diamond, and you're itching to move forward. Make a nether portal, collect just what you need (soul sand + glowstone), and don't let the aforementioned brass balls cloud your judgement. You're here for TWO THINGS. You are not window shopping at the local mall...

    GROWLE'S IMPROMPTU GUIDE TO SOULS, RANDOM EXPLORATION, & "STUFF"

    I'm not an expert on Minecraft or FTB, but I'm usually pretty good at answering my friends' questions in regard to most things associated w/ this game. I attribute it to having too much time on my hands at work and at home, but I also really like knowing what's going on in any game I play and...

    Chunkloader woes?

    Agreed. They're a great tool if used properly, it's when people do things like having poor storage for a mob spawner and leaving it running to spit items everywhere, or the same w/ a quarry spitting stone all over the place. 100% with you there. About 10 minutes ago he notified us that he...

    Chunkloader woes?

    So I was on a server a friend invited me to and got to like the people as well as FTB. The person running the server had a "golden rule" against using chunk loaders of any type, which was only a huge issue on our second map when he altered some files to allow ic2 easymode recipes. When people...

    Soul Shard question

    I guess sitting in the end with a soul stealer weapon underneath a piston trap was for nothing then! Was fun while it lasted though...having to find the end, kill the dragon, and sit there killing those tall freaks....or searching the twilight forest for large hills that had creeper...

    The Final Word on Steam Boiler Efficiency

    Few questions...Let's say I make the smallest hp boiler I can (1hp I believe)...If it has heated up and I'm ready to expand into a larger one, can I add the extra blocks to the existing boiler while it's on? Or do I have to wait for said 1 hp boiler to cool down before I can do anything...

    running a boiler with a wither coal farm.

    Since the coke oven was one of the first things I made when we started our map, I went ahead and shot for a semifluid generator to put that creosote to use :/ It's still there but I don't make as much coal coke anymore..

    Most Powerful energy source there is?

    On the topic of fusion reactors and minecraft, I do think it would have been cooler to have the whole system be much larger than 1 block with a ring of blocks around it. With the amount of materials you have to squeeze into just that compact model, you could easily stretch it into a much larger...

    Why i hate Xycraft

    Heres a neat idea for the aluminum...make blocks out of it and add some viewing glass (also made with aluminum) in spaces to see your liquid. Voila, you have a ghetto railcraft tank that still has that metal block look and a use for aluminum besides torch fodder... On a side note, the...

    ultimate pack WTF nyan cat???

    *Unwarranted edit - TBH, first time I booted up Mindcrack I saw that cat plus the so called improved menu. I just pressed multiplayer and got into game straight away. Rubbish or not, I honestly didn't care. If logging in to the sight of that colorful cat-thing is enough to rustle anyone's...

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    I read up on one of the sites and found this to answer my question... Flight Control: Tries to keep you steady in midair. Acts as a proxy for creative flight. Press 'Z' to go down (currently hardcoded). If you already mentioned something similar before then I apologize! Found the info on...
