    Ideas for Evil Base (bwahhahaha)

    A friend and I have a private SMP server we are building on, we had a vision for an underground laboratory, White Mesa. We have already set up large parts of the infrastructure, mostly using construction foam for the hallways and other pretty blocks for the rooms. We have the basics of power and...

    An idea-y thing for an FTB PVP video series

    how does someone breaking into your base kill you? Having a good base is all well and good, but it all comes down to wining a fight. Restricting such a broad category as items might be a problem because it allows for a lot of grey areas and it is hard to regulate

    Compact Bases

    building compact bases is nice in sentiment, but honestly, bigger bases are cooler, and significantly more popular

    An idea-y thing for an FTB PVP video series

    I'd be interested I guess, but I see some pretty glaring issues. Why 8 ages? 2 or even one would do just fine, having all those extras is just creating more problems then it solves 3 lives? if they start in creative and separated, they should be able to manage with just one, more hardcore that...

    I've never done anything with bees, what's the appeal?

    bees, in short, offer renewable resources. In addition to the basic forestry stuff that lets you get backpacks and such, extra bees lets you make basically anything in the game. Ender pearls, emeralds, gunpowder even diamond can all be renewed through bees.

    What's the the difference between a normal Portal Gun and a Potato Gun

    The following is just what I think, I don't know if it's correct. The potato gun creates two linked portals that don't connect to any other portals. Its meant for multiplayer

    Thaumcraft Research Tips (Revised, v3)(spoilers)

    Copper nuggets don't have the food symbol. Storage = vacus Torch = lux Water = aqua Those are the ones I can name off the top of my head

    An idea to prevent Nether lava exploitation

    Actually, redstone's odd properties can allow for some of the mod's crazier machines scientifically (king lemming wrote something about that if you want to read more) but your points on vannila are valid

    Unlimited oil farm?

    Lets get back on topic. Yes, they are pretty hard to get, bees are time consuming and potentially resource consuming if you use frames. There are a few good bee guides floating around, there might even be one in my sig, IDK That was removed, you can't automate frames

    What is worth silk touching?

    Fortune is better than silk touch for pretty much everything. A vague answer I know, but I can't think of any exceptions

    GregTech

    Gregtech is such a cool mod, it adds some of the coolest machines in the game, but the way it forks other mods is so annoying I will continue shamelessly paraphrasing the post before me, its gotten me this far

    Frame airships

    combine the gregtech translocator with the fractorization router, you'll have an automation force to be reckoned with.

    [COMPETITION] Elevator that isn't an Elevator in DW20 v5

    The piston idea is really cool, but the wiring would be hellish

    Teleporting options

    high speed rails + portal = disaster waiting to happen :D Alright while we're at it let me talk a bit more about mystcraft. The two annoying qualities about books is that they don't follow you (and are prone to dropping on the ground in your wake) and that they don't work inside an age, only...

    Yogscast on FTB

    Half of the fun of their tekkit series is that everyone except the main two are pretty good at it, going as far as to show self control and refrain from condensing, going the real man's way and building a overly complicated rube goldbergs with little to no EE actually makes up most of the...

    Teleporting options

    You are refering to mini black holes, no? My idea is that it should work like a minium stone or an RP tool, it has a durability bar and can be used to craft a few portal guns/frames

    Teleporting options

    There are 2 kinds of books, descriptive books and linking books. Descriptive books are made with a feather and create a whole new age, whereas a linking book is just a single book in a crafting table, and simply links to the spot where it was crafted. Both books only work between dimension and...
