    So what are the best TC tools these days?

    So I've just mined a bunch of cobalt and ardite in the nether, and figured it is time to upgrade my dinky stone hammer to something more useful. Problem is, the threads on this all seem to be quite old, and I'm pretty sure there was some major changes in how the mod handled certain things quite...

    Does Chocolate frames not work as they used to?

    Hi, I've been trying to breed bees by using chocolate frames to lessen the time spent waiting, then swapping to soul frames just before the bee dies. Thing is, it doesn't seem like chocolate frames has any effect? According to my math, if I have a bee with the shortest lifespan trait, using 3...

    Windows .exe Multipart blocks disappeared after relog/visiting the nether?

    Hi, I'm having a weird issue on a server I'm playing on. We are all playing the default version of Unleashed, so I'm pretty sure its a server issue since it seems there aren't anyone else here with this problem. Basically, I was playing with the multipart blocks earlier today, then logged off...

    Soo... Why exactly is it impossible to automate a Steam Turbine?

    With the recent popularity of power converters and it's ease of EU generation, there are little incentives to use the turbine anymore for most players. Covert Jaguar probably realized that too since he buffed the power output to 200EU/t - making one HP36 boiler be able to output 400EU/t per...

    Mapping tool?

    Does anyone know of a easy to use mapping tool that I could use to render my Unleashed worlds? I'm trying to figure out how a particular world looks like; at first glance it looks like a plains biome completely surrounded by forest, with a jungle/taiga centre, it's really quite odd. It's large...

    Is oil now too rare?

    My go-to strategy of starting a new world used to be very buildcraft dominated. I'd walk around the world until I found a nice green biome with a small oil spout nearby and set up a little hovel with the machines and stuff, then work on making a refinery and powerplant using the oil. This would...

    Windows .exe Red text in launcher log

    http://pastebin.com/xvMXSdZy I've noticed this in quite a few releases of FTB, and was wondering, should I be worried about this? What's causing it? From what i can tell reading the messages generated, it has something to do with forestry and chicken core. I'm currently running the new...

    Ways of generating Mob Essence

    What do you guys do for generating tons of mob essence? I want to use MFR spawners instead of soul shards as they feel a bit more balanced to me, but I dunno how I would go about generating enough of the essence to basically run an endermen spawner without issues. Looking at Direwolf's setup, it...

    What do you guys think about Extra Trees?

    Link to Binnie's site Link to mod spotlight by Haighyorkie EDIT: Direwolf has a more practical run-in with the new features in todays episode of his SMP series, if anyone's interested: Linky I think Direwolf mentioned it a few months back, but we haven't really heard much about it since...

    How intrusive is GT in the new Beta pack?

    I want to start a fresh world with the new beta pack (with Gregtech, as I want to use it for some later stuff), but I don't want it to affect my playstyle, so to speak. So how much does it change by default? I would prefer to be able to completely ignore IndustrialCraft/Gregtech until later, and...

    Windows .exe FTB Launcher not downloading/updating modpacks

    Hi! I got the urge to play me some minecraft after a few months' break, and decided to make myself a fresh new world with all the updates since the last time I played. So I went ahead and deleted my minecraft folder and my .minecraft folder and the downloaded the latest launcher on the FTB...

    Not enough saplings...

    Hi! I recently made myself a SC treefarm (1.4.7 btw) in the hopes of making biomass for biofuel to use in a boiler or two. Problem is, I don't seem to get enough saplings... It worked fine at first (I had assembled a buffer of saplings whilst setting up the fermenter), but after a couple of...

    Anyone played with the new Farms yet?

    Kinda a dumb question, as the answer is obvious... What i really want to know, has anyone figured out the rates of output and input yet? I want to create a farm setup that is mostly self sufficient (Except the Apatite), which will fuel several 36HP steam boilers through Biofuel and planks, but...

    How do i manually update mods?

    Hi, trying to update Forestry to the latest version in MindCrack v8.0.1, but afraid I'm gonna break stuff. How do i do it? I clicked Edit Modpack and added the latest Forestry downloaded from Sengir's site, but the file is a different name than the Forestry that is in the pack already... Is it...

    Updating Forestry

    Hi, I'm currently using the mindcrack pack, and I'm wondering, can I upgrade the forestry mod without any larger issues? That is, if I just straight upgrade it, will my configs and block id's and such be fine? Thanks!

    How do you organize your bases?

    Hi, I have a slight problem... I'm kinda anal about building a base where my rooms have a purpose (whilst feebly trying to make the thing look good), and it's rapidly burning away my enjoyment for playing. I've had this problem before, and what usually happens is I ragequit and stop playing...
