    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    Yeah, I missed that, because I wasn't using the chestpiece yet. I guess now I have a good reason to replace my jetpack... and to make those Ion Thrusters...

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    I just made my first powersuit since overheating was added. I'm guessing, that the fact that it doesn't cool at all in the nether is intentional, because of this: https://github.com/MachineMuse/MachineMusePowersuits/commit/30f0193a2a958aa8f563c9f979371de1197d9037 So is there any way to cool the...

    How to make your own 1.5.2 pack today (MultiMC)

    It's hard to say anything without a crashlog, and even if did give me one, I'm no expert by any means. The way I did it was that I added mods only a couple at a time, so when I had an issue I could at least narrow it down to those last couple of mods.

    Enchantments...

    I don't know why this is on the FTB forums, book enchanting is a vanilla feature, the mods only add a couple more possible enchantments. What you get is based on RNG, and nothing else. What you got there is pretty average I would say. Even in vanilla you only got about 1% for silk touch or...

    How to make your own 1.5.2 pack today (MultiMC)

    Try to remove everything temporarly, only leaving NEI and CodeChickenCore. If you still crash, something is wrong with those + your forge version. If you don't crash, start adding your mods. Add a couple, then test, if it's still OK, add a couple more, until you figure out which of your mods has...

    How to make your own 1.5.2 pack today (MultiMC)

    I've got 2 guesses. I had the exact same issues you describe with iChun's mods. Removing everything from him (portalgun, gravitygun, his util mod, hats, death counter, etc...) might fix it. His latest versions are a month+ old, so there might be forge conflicts maybe? If that doesn't help, try...

    How to make your own 1.5.2 pack today (MultiMC)

    After a month or so of waiting for an official FTB pack I grew tired. I wanted to play SSP in a 1.5.x pack, with most of the mods from the FTB Ultimate, and some new ones that became popular with 1.5 So I spent several hours of my time to put together an instance with MultiMC, just for...

    Mod Pack Update

    It's a shame that people like you care more about the forums than about the game. Yeah, an open beta would mean messy forums, but it would also mean that way more people are testing the modpack. Even if just a tiny fraction of players report the bugs, as they should, the mod developers would...

    Mod Pack Update

    I was there, and it was a different situation altogether. At that time there was no ultimate with a previous minecraft version, or any alternative to beta pack A, so everyone who played FTB played that. Personally I didn't mind it that much, I didn't have to reset my SSP world ever. I do...

    Mod Pack Update

    Thanks for the reply, it helped me a ton. I definitely don't want to wait until there are no more issues left between 50+ mods to start my first 1.5.x world, so FTB is clearly not for me any more. BTW, you could take "complaining" about "issues" as bugreports and save yourselves a ton of time...

    Mod Pack Update

    I was going to keep my opinion to myself, but there are 2 reasons why I decided against it. 1: It has been so long since most mods updated to 1.5.1. I would never complain about mod authors not updating fast enough for a new minecraft version. On the other hand I don't really get why the...

    How do you feel about an Advanced Jetpack

    It doesn't. Not like the gravichestplate. The advanced jetpack work like a normal electric jetpack. You can use the same key you use on the normal one (the IC2 mode switch key) to turn "hover mode" on an off, but it's not real hovering, it's just a less powerful thrust.

    alternative (thaumcraft) method for getting copper

    Green Xychoridite is better, because that also adds 2 metallum each, so you need less iron total. The crucibles connenct to liquiducts, so a single aqueous accumulator fills all 8 of them pretty much instanty.

    alternative (thaumcraft) method for getting copper

    I did further testing, and edited my original post. Found 2 ways of saving the golems, so that's not a problem any more. Setting up the crafting is like I said, costs 6 wooden gears and a piston. There is no sorting. You're only making copper ingots. Yes, you have to make the wands, but since...

    alternative (thaumcraft) method for getting copper

    - batch limits: like I said... 2 stacks of copper ingot at a time for 10-30 seconds of your time. I think that's not bad at all, cosidering the time it takes to do the alternatives. - additional aspects: there are NO additional aspects - further processing: the wooden golems can dump the nuggets...

    alternative (thaumcraft) method for getting copper

    As probably most of you know, in the default feed the beast configs copper is set to only spawn in a very specific depth, thus usually requiring an extra effort to get. I think I "came up" with a method, that I haven't seen before, and wanted to share/ask if anyone has done this before. It's...

    The Final Word on Steam Boiler Efficiency

    I know I'm getting a bit offtopic here, but people don't seem to mind it in these forums... Anyways... I've never used waterproof pipes, so I can't comment on that. But with liquiducts, a single connection is enough to pump out all the water an AA produces. This seems to be just the right...

    The Final Word on Steam Boiler Efficiency

    I guess that makes sense. I haven't though of a situation like that, and I still believe that not many actually exist. I mean I could still try to calculate how much thermal generators you could have made using that "pocket change" of resources you spent on getting less then 100 EU/t (more than...

    bee breeding

    Thx so much for the illustrated response. I think I finally get it! :D So it turns out that it doesn't matter what I do with my mutation failed queens. If I pair them with pure drones (to get them back being pures, so I can try mutation them once again) they have a 50% chance for turning out...

    Exploration, treasure, and Adventure in FTB.

    Yeah, vanilla doesn't nearly have enough features to be called a proper mod... :D
