    Yogscast on FTB

    @Heavy1metal "MLP takes too long and the recipes are too expensive. 2 WHOLE EQUESTRIUM LOVE CRYSTALS FOR A PIXIE WAND! SERIOUISLY WTF!!!!!!!!! Love-fuelled engines are stupid, they should be self-refuelling. The recipes should also only take four ingredients or less, as i think i speak for...

    Yogscast on FTB

    It's okay, i didn't need my sides anyway. Second quote's missing though. @Belone: i doubt it would. I mean, steam is perfectly comfortable thinking i was born in 1905, what's to stop other aspiring decigenarians from joining in? Addendum: in regards to balance whiners, there's really only...

    Yogscast on FTB

    I could certainly see them switching over, the mods that FTB packages baseline add a lot of new variability that tekkit doesn't (Mystcraft being a prime example.) In addition, as a server op myself, i would completely understand the administrative reasons for switching, which can be summarized...

    Starting out

    10 iron bars, technically, as you'll need 3 for an iron pick that you'll need for redstone and diamond

    Starting out

    Spelunk just long enough to get iron, redstone, and some diamonds. build a mining turtle, and have it excavate things (be sure to place a chest behind it to drop stuff into). If i'm not mistaken, thats the fastest way to get away from spelunking.

    Some mods aren't included in some modpacks

    The DW and mindcrack packs, being commissioned by specific people as they are, are tailored to those people's specific needs. As such, those packs likely won't be changing, unless the people who requested them ask for them to change. There are plans for FTB to release an "ultimate" pack which...

    Wrapping my head around Railcraft steam

    I like how when i posted that, it exactly mirrored the post that appeared above it when the thread refreshed. Another fun fact about boilers though: if you're playing a version that hasn't had TC's infinite lava loop closed, then you can make a very elegant self-refuelling boiler setup that puts...

    Wrapping my head around Railcraft steam

    1) steam engines accept steam as a fuel source, or create it themselves using fuel, in which case it acts as an internal buffer. they always output MJ, and not steam. 2) fuel to MJ. engine temperature is a means of providing a high up-front cost for powering an engine, but a low cost to keep it...

    Today, I learned...

    I learned that with a solar panel, an electric engine, and a cactus farm, i can produce MORE CACTI THAN THERE HAS EVER BEEN.

    server crash on world unloading

    Are you perhaps using a lot of redpower timers? The last time i saw this error was because i had an assboat of timers on a 0.025s rotation, and all those ticking updates tended to overload people. If yes, slow them down to 0.5 or so, and you'll get the same effectiveness with less effort.

    Thaumcraft 3 questions

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the crystals symbol automatically introduce instability to an age, similar to how dense ores does?

    The best way to ascend/descend multiple levels?

    Make a link editor from mystcraft, and make a bunch of intra-linking link books to your different floors. its two clicks, and X books per floor, where X = number of floors - 1 but its the fastest i can name.

    Dynmap and FTB

    I've recently put the forge version of Dynmap on my server, and although it works great otherwise, it seems that i can't get the webchat to appear in-game. Does anyone else have Dynmap on their FTB server, and if so, have you had this problem?
