Uranium breeding is basically a fancy phrase for uranium recycling. When a uranium cell is used up in a Nuclear Reactor, there's a chance it will leave behind a Near-Depleted Uranium Cell instead of totally destroying itself. You can also craft these with 1 refined uranium and 8 cells, allowing...

MFR is absolutely fantastic. Here's what I'm currently doing with it in my own installation: I have an IC2 recycler hooked up to an Igneous Extruder and a Fabricator. 1 IC2 fertilizer + 2 scrap = 2 IC2 fertilizer, and the MFR Fertilizer is cool enough to use IC2 fertilizer in place of...

It seems to be a self-defeating philosophy, but whenever I do a task in-game I think "How can I change this so that I never have to bother with it again?" It provides a pretty decent supply of tasks, although eventually you'll just end up sitting on your rear while your base does everything...

Yeah, I'm not really happy with the newly apparent modding fad of "HD item textures." It looks fantastic--I'd be lying if I said otherwise--but there's about as many things apt to go bugger as when one fastens a solid-fuel rocket booster to a pickup truck.

Either grit your teeth like I did or just look for a config pack. I can always put my current amorphous blob of configs up on dropbox if you'd like to save a bunch of bother, since chances are I've almost everything you want covered and then some. Also, seriously, take things into your own...

Likely not. I waited for a rather long time for FTB Tech and eventually snapped, and then I ended up with a personal MultiMC configuration with 134 mods in it. I'm much happier now rolling my own stuff again, although the FTB Forums themselves are still the greatest place for technical chitchat...

Not so fast! NEARLY all mods are at least to some extent compatible due to the Forge API, and that's quite dreamy, 'tis true. However, it is perfectly possible to code two modifications such that they interfere with each other. For instance, there's currently a conflict with PluginsForForestry...

Compatibility as opposed to distribution rights, eh? Well, you asked for it. Here's what I'm currently running under my (stable) installation. IN MINECRAFT.JAR v1.4.7: Minecraft Forge #518 REI's Minimap v3.2_06 InvTweaks v1.50 OptiFine HD Ultra 1.4.6 C3 IN COREMODS: TreeCapitator r03...

I did the exact same thing the OP did--researched Unified Thaumic Field Theory, ho hum, onto other things. Oh, look, Goggles of Revealing! Lemme craft thi--"Wand doesn't have enough charge!" So I figure I need to research the Wand of the Adept and that it's a hidden research. I researched...

I'm MushroomDynamo, although I suppose you could tell that from what it says on the tin. I play a pretty heavy variety of games; between Humble Bundles and miserly sale-scavenging, I've come to own a decent number of games without bankrupting myself. In terms of games I play frequently...

I can't wait for the new world succession + raiding groups/armies update and was wondering if anyone else was excited enough to chitchat about it--sure to be a barrel of Fun, nu? Also, if you have any Fun / awful artifact items / questionably safe fort inventions / stories to share, I'd like to...

If you DO want to spoil it for yourself (not that that's as much fun for some people, but you DID ask about guides) there's a pretty comprehensive chart some guy made on MinecraftForum. Just Google "Extra Bees Breeding Chart" or something to that effect; it shows all of EB and Forestry's...

Last I checked the sounds were disabled in the beta on purpose, to be re-enabled later. Note that the "machines running out of power" noise is still added, for whatever reason.

It depends on your preferred building style and how much you care about interiors versus exteriors. I hate making my exteriors coordinate with my interior space, especially where machines are concerned. Ergo, I build near everything underground and run lots of cool pipes and wires along the...

FRAPS all the way. It DOES generate massive files--however, the reason for this is it's outputting totally uncompressed .avi files. Once you process it and/or upload it to YouTube it'll be compressed, which results in a much more manageable file size. Unless you have a penchant for keeping your...

It depends on whether you want to add mods in yourself. If you do, Logistics Pipes is definitely the way to go--you can request anything from inventories in its network and you can teach it to craft stuff for you, too. It can be very confusing for the beginner, though...I'd personally recommend...

I'm not trying to bash GregTech's stuff too much, it works really nicely. I just don't really see the point of spending EU on operations you could execute for free--unless, of course, your goal is to burn EU you don't know what to do with. Enter GregTech's item-handling machines!

You could make a Fusion Reactor, which requires EU (as in tens of millions of it) to ignite and produce MORE energy! I mean, you're using up your energy to produce more energy. I'm sure it makes sense. In a more serious vein, you could make some Teslastaffs or ComputerCubes or something. You...

Definitely the reactor. The amount of chrome you need alone can be rather silly.

Your mileage may vary, but as far as I've seen OptiFine isn't buggy. The worst OptiFine bug I had (which I then helped other people fix later) was where pieces of engines, barrels, etc, would disappear, and mobs would render with weird textures. This was (rather simply, actually) fixed by just...
