    best pack for my needs

    To me it sounds like the Tech World v2 pack might suit you well, unless you don't want to play on MC 1.6.4 yet. It has lots of machines, bees, AE for storage and no GT. I don't know if there is any exploring in it that interests you though, it does have BoP and Mystcraft, but no extra dungeons...

    What the Sludge?

    Same here, not only for the mud though. It also produces Clay which is nice so you don't have to go harvest it at the bottom of an ocean. Soul Sand is nice if you can't be bothered to go to the Nether to find some, and it also makes Heat Sand and that other stuff (I forgot its name, it's super...

    Feed the Beast City ideas

    Personally I've been thinking of a Natura/TiC berry shop/stand, selling at least the non-metal/essence berries and perhaps bushes. BoP has some interesting dishes with fruits and vegetables that could make a bit of a fruit stand. A potion shop might be a bit vanilla, but it might still be...

    Fireproofing flammable blocks

    I'm not familiar with UE so I might suggest something that won't work xP Like others said, covering all sides should prevent fire from spawning. Also, it has a higher spread radius above the lava than below it (it's kinda like fire I believe, 1-2 down and ~6 up), so putting the wires on the...

    [Minecraft News] Minecraft to push minimum OpenGL Support to version 2.1

    So finally MC will be able to use a tiny amount of my GPU instead of being so CPU dependent? Yes please!

    Massive latency issues

    It also depends on how far the server is away from you. I'm in Europe and while US servers are doable for me they are noticeably worse than EU based servers. Also wireless, for me, has never been good enough for gaming, so if you're sitting wireless you might want to try plugging in a cable...

    Alternative to RP2 pneumatic tubes

    Do you have the barrels attached in series or parallel? They have to be in series in order to work, both the Insertion pipes and Transfer pipes. Both of them will put stuff in something if there is space for it, so you have to make sure it travels past the barrels in a certain order so it fills...

    Call to Arms: WASD vs ESDF

    I'm a left handed person and I use the keyboard with my left and mouse with my right, just like a "right handed" person would. I don't like you generalize all left handed people as "keyboard right, mouse left". Anyway, on the topic of WASD vs ESDF, for me the E on ESDF is too far offset to...

    No RedPower in FTB Unleashed 1.1.3

    "not updated" means it will not work no matter how hard you try. If there was any way I'm sure someone would've made it public already. There are lots mods that add features RP had though, MFR RedNet cable is a good replacement for RP's wiring (imho it's way better). I think there is also a...

    SONYCRAFT! wait... whut?

    You should know that there are people out there that won't agree the PC version of MC is better. Some people swear by consoles when it comes to gaming, even if it's clearly inferior to PC gaming. What seems logical to you and me isn't always logical to the rest of the world. As for people...

    What make you stay on a server?

    I personally don't consider "pay to win" on MC servers to be an issue, because I don't see playing MC with other people as a competition. It does depend on what things are locked away in the premium packs though, but as long as I can play the game the way I like I don't mind. Don't get me...

    How to setup transportpipes?

    Yeah, except that doesn't handle the stuff that's already in a pipe. For short distances with stackable items it's fine, but if you have very long pipes that aren't (partially) made of gold, or you're dealing with items that don't stack, then you can still run into issues with stuff spilling...

    How to setup transportpipes?

    look up the ExtraUtilities mod. They're from that mod and you can find more info on it's page. Hoppers and Tesseracts combine very well with them to make a "leak proof" system. I have to say it's not impossible to create a leak proof system with pipes either, but you're likely going to have to...

    Find emeralds

    I've found plenty of Emeralds in the Jade Cliffs BoP biome as well.

    What make you stay on a server?

    For me it's the friendliness of the people, assuming all technical things are in order. Low/no lag and some form of property protection are examples of those technical things. What mods (or parts of mods) are enabled or disabled are less important for me (usually I consider doing things...

    The Ultimate Tinkers Construct Tools

    Imho paper is fine. A Diamond or Emerald will rarely add as much durability as a part made from good materials. The only reason to go with paper is to get more speed (though Cobalt parts are faster than paper parts with redstone) or other features. If you ask me what the issue is it is this: the...

    Decent Armor Mod?

    Personally I think you should go for originality, because trying to beat other mods at their features is an uphill battle. If I'm looking at armor to make I look at what features it has first, with protection being second (though I really like some protection, I'm not a big fan of goggles). As...

    Mods that go well with BC

    But, but, but... BC Tools doesn't give you flight or any other other fancy armor features MPS gives you. And, and, and... you won't have liquid metals! Seriously though, looks like a good list and I've learned of some cool mods I didn't know yet here :) I think Big Reactors looks cool and I...

    Need a Round Robin Solution in Unleashed

    That's the same as a regular piece of pipe. Only if you want an asymmetric distribution a Diamond pipe could help, but for even/symmetrical distribution you might as well take a regular cobble pipe because it's exactly the same. And the problem with all vanilla pipes is that the distribution...
