    A Warning Regarding Ultimate

    Mindcrack and DW20 won't be incompatible. By definition, they are subsets of ultimate. Yes, if there is any new WorldGen, you will lose it, yes. I will be the first to say -- with how intrusive Ars Magicka is -- I do not want it. It changes vanilla minecraft waaaay too much. Every modpack in...

    Mystcraft Decay

    Instability is not always instantly obvious. When in doubt, place a chunk loader and come back after a few Minecraft days. If the ground starts looking like swiss cheese, it's unstable. As mentioned curses are a sign of instability. Also, if Mystcraft adds symbols to your book -- that means...

    When?

    At this point, just do Mindcrack and add Mystcraft / EE3 to it. It's not hard, and it's 100% compatible. Just copy it from DW20.

    Removed Advance Solar Panels from Direwolf??

    DW20 doesn't have GregTech. I assume he went with Compact Solars because they are much easier to craft than AdvancedSolars without GT (Mixed Metal Ingot recipes). Also, without GT there is no Iridium. Advanced Solars require Iridium. I assume he did that intentionally to make Solars easier to...

    Converting from Beta-A to DW20

    FTB Beta A uses Advanced Solars. DW20 uses Compact Solars. I would think seems a compact solar is being force-hooked up to something it doesn't like due to an item ID conflict (compact solars and advanced solars use the same item IDs, so your advanced solars are being replaced by compact...

    Time to move.... I think.

    Really? TE Aqueous Accumulator can make infinite water. Just make a 3x3x1 water pool and put the machine in there. Then pump it into a small railcraft tank and use a bucket on the tank valve. You'll get a bucket of water. You could program a Turtle to do all the filling for you. Just...

    Quick comment on Thermal Expansion

    I'm in Beta A still, so maybe the newer TE fixed it. But in the Beta A at least, machines can't suck. Hence the pump. I've tried every combination. Chest adjacent. Chest - Wooden Pipe - Machine. Chest - Wood - Stone - Machine. None work. Fortunately, an Autarchic gate on slow mode pumps...

    How to get IC2 Copper?

    The one on the left is BC/TE Copper I think, the one on the right is IC2 Copper. The ore dictionary should make it universal, but it's not always fool-proof. To make the copper on the left, use a Pulverizer and then a Powered furnace. To make the copper on the right, use a Macerator and...

    Quick comment on Thermal Expansion

    I primarily enjoy it because it makes automated ore processing extremely easy, and you get bonus ores in addition to double ores. Right now I have a setup of a Chest with an Autarchic Gate feeding a Pulverizer, an Induction Smelter fed by a Igneous Extruder/Pulverizer making sand, which...

    ~Ultimate Pack~

    The big issue with porting is changed Item IDs, and getting the benefits of new WorldGen. Item IDs: The Tekkit guys have a tool for converting Item IDs between Tekkit Classic and Tekkit Lite: http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/how-to-convert-tekkit-classic-world-to-tekkit-lite.34915/ This...

    Ars Magica

    Well, the big problem at the current moment is that it the mod is designed to pretty much take over the world. It makes sense in the Magic Pack, but not entirely in the Ultimate Pack. In the Ultimate, for the post part if you don't want to touch a mod, you don't have to touch it. However...

    Bagception!

    I. Want. That. Though, I think I'll make the Ender Pouches different colors, and just make corresponding Ender Chests in my base and put all my inventory, ores, ingots, mob loot, farming gear, etc, everything, in them. Then I'll run around the forums explaining to everyone how sorting...

    Mob Deterrants

    ^^^^ What he said. I derped and thought you were trying to protect your base. If you want to keep things from spawning, the only way is well-lit in FTB currently.

    Mob Deterrants

    Aerial Faith Plates. Set the vertical power to 5. Put an obisian pipe and chest at the landing spot. ??? Profit!

    Ways to make energy

    There are infinite ways to make energy. If you want the least-maintenance method and have tons of resources: Advanced/Compact Solar -> Forestry Electric Engine -> Magma Crucible (Igneous Extruder for Cobble) -> Railcraft 7x7x5 tank (5,000 buckets) From there, the Railcraft lava tank is...

    It's GregTech, Jim... but not as we know it

    Oh, I'm not against the inclusion of GregTech. For as long as the mod author continues to make config options for the stuff he Nukes, I'm 100% for the variety it adds. My entire beef is with the lack of creativity it adds. But I can understand if some people don't have an affinity for...

    Ars Magica

    The biggest thing argument against Ars Magica is that it's not stable enough for the Ultimate pack. Very recently, there was a huge bug that had a chance to destroy worlds whenever a new chunk was created (exploration). It went unresolved for quite some time, then the author posted a...

    It's GregTech, Jim... but not as we know it

    In some respects, I feel GT is out-of-touch with Minecraft, and tries to over-simplify the game at the expense of more tedium. Essentially, GT brings all the "unfun" parts of Minecraft (running back to your table to craft 50 different things), and removes all of the "fun" parts of Minecraft...

    It's GregTech, Jim... but not as we know it

    Not really. IC2 plays nice with BC/RP. You can hook up BC pipes to it and the IC2 people don't get pissed off, or go out and create their own transport system (buffers) which are crappier to use. IC2 didn't scream, "OP! You're supposed to move that by hand@!@!@ WE ALREADY GAVE YOU ORE...
