    powered spawners

    What about non-standard mobs? Can the EnderIO soul vials collect things like pigs and cows and make a powered spawner for livestock? Or Villagers? Can it handle mobs from other mods, like Witchery goblins or Thaumcraft Pecks? I have yet to encounter a mob the MFR system can't replicate, but...

    Geostrata baffling me.

    I see. Well, is there a way to convert the Geostrata cobble to regular cobble, ala Forge dictionary? I saw that you could use the alternate cobbles for vanilla recipes (though I don't think you'd get a colored furnace, the way XACT gives a rainbow of crafting table textures) so that might mean...

    Geostrata baffling me.

    I was quite excited to build with some of the pretty new stones Geostrata introduces... but I'm not finding ANY of them. I know the mod is there, as I'm finding those cave crystals. But none of the stones... do I have to go into the config, or is it another mod overwriting the stone worldgen...

    Greg Tech opinion discussions go here

    Greg insists that since he has config options to turn off his changes, that makes everything fine. However, this last batch, with the durability of tools nerfing, the wood nerf, the making of iron tools into a pointlessly difficult process... these are things he should have put into his configs...

    1.6.2 Packs

    Bypassing the world reset complaints and all that, I too would like to hear some rumors/speculation/ideas for how the main packs will be updated for 1.6. I particularly like the Mindcrack pack, but I wouldn't mind seeing some new mods added to it. I wouldn't be surprised to see Direwolf's pack...

    FTB Pack Comparison

    I've heard nothing but good things about Immibis Microblocks - that would be a great addition! I had to look up FlatSigns, and now I really, really want them - it's one of those ideas that make you smack your forehead and ask why we haven't already had them! Thank you, for the excellent and...

    FTB Pack Comparison

    Any official word on the possibility of new mods in the modpacks yet? I'm a big fan of the Mindcrack pack, and I think adding Bibliocraft and Tinker's Construct / Natura would be fantastic. Especially if they're taking Redpower out - the Tinker's tools would nicely replace the loss of gemstone...

    Ender Pearl farm not working?

    Can endermen teleport out of quicksand? I was wondering about dropping the spawns from my T5 soul shard spawner down onto a layer of quicksand, 3 blocks off the ground. In theory, they'd sink into the sand and suffocate when their feet reach the solid ground, leaving me a two-block tall area...

    Automatic Breeding

    Consider placing two breeders on a balcony above your breeding pen - but still inside the radius of your feeding station. Surround the base of the breeding pen with Mystcraft crystals, and in the wall, a concealed mechanism to place and remove a linking book. When you hit the lever, all but your...

    Suggest Mods for FTB Here

    (Getting back to mod suggestions...) I know Crafting Table III isn't updated yet, but when it is I hope you consider it. I always thought it was a wonderful complement to NEI and the Project Table from Redpower. ...I wish I had a more concrete suggestion for other mods, but honestly, you've...

    RedPower news, and thaumcraft

    I'm anxious to play with Thaumcraft, but I am also a little concerned about how well it will play on servers. From watching Direwolf's ForgeCraft videos, it looks as though a simple crucible could be a dreadful tool for griefing. Just dump a ton of flux into the air near somebody's base, and...

    Melon slices to seeds, and some TE stuff.

    ...all I had to do is reload the world? Right. Less time futzing, more time reading up.

    Melon slices to seeds, and some TE stuff.

    Ha! See? I knew there was an easier way! I love this community.

    Melon slices to seeds, and some TE stuff.

    The first thing I'd try would be setting up more than one cell to run your base - just not necessarily by daisy-chaining them. Conduits are smart enough to charge multiple, non-connected cells, so you could have one to run your farms, another to run your workshop, etc. etc. And if they're...

    Workflow guide?

    If you can find one of the big silver veins early in the game, Factorization might be a good route to take. You'll need all that silver, and the lead you'll get by smelting the silver in a slag furnace, to get your power supply set up. Silver for reflective mirrors, and lead for wiring, battery...

    Anyone else loving Factorization?

    I'm wondering if Redpower will help with this? A Manager, perhaps, so it only pulls crystallized metal out of the crystalizer? Likewise, another Manager might be set up so it only loads the crystalizer when it has 5 stacks of reduced metal chunks. One could always load it manually, if you needed...

    What're your favorite new discoveries in FTB?

    When we get Redpower again, you'll be able to craft your own chiseled stone blocks. I believe it's just four stone bricks on the crafting grid. We'll also be able to farm mossy bricks/cobble and cracked bricks! If I remember right, mossy stones are the trickier ones, since you need to find a...

    What're your favorite new discoveries in FTB?

    I was poking around in NEI, and discovered much to my delight that I can use lime dye and milk in a Factorization crystalizer to make slime balls! Like... a runny sort of sticky cheese, I suppose? No more mucking about with slime farms! What have you discovered that came as a most pleasant...
