As follows is an example recommended progression through modded MC that aims to set expectations and meet those expectations: 1. [OPTIONAL] Play vanilla MC. If you didn't dislike it, go to step 2. 2. Play a general-purpose, commonly-used pack that has good supporting videos, ex. DW20. If you...

With the major performance issues people are having with 1.7 and Mojang now focused on 1.8 and not likely to fix 1.7, will everyone move from 1.6 to 1.7, or will the community be split until a release that doesn't have major performance issues, like hopefully 1.8 ? I don't have the speediest...

For some (incorrect) reason, I had assumed vanilla hoppers were relatively efficient. I mean, what's so complicated about them, right ? Well, they are extremely inefficient. I have only ~30 or so hoppers in my world, and according to TickProfiler, they are chewing up more than 2.5ms (more than...

14.04 LTS ? 12 ? 10 ? General logic is "latest is best". However, that doesn't always apply. Some pieces of modded Minecraft may be designed with a specific (now older) version in mind. What's your opinion ?

The vast majority of server performance comes down to factors like: mod-pack players' builds on the server server hardware Internet bandwidth other processes running on the server But, I'm just checking before I build a new server if there are any performance differences between the various...

I didn't find an existing thread that discussed the Big Reactor mod in general, so I'm making one. However, if there is one, please point me to it and I'll close this one with a link to that one. I'll start the discussion off by saying that Big Reactors is a great mod that has uses in almost...

Which "interesting" RF power system produces the least server and client lag per RF/t ? It's important to take both into account since hosted servers scale rapidly with CPU+RAM and not everybody has a fast client. So, the ideal power system would have low server lag and high client FPS. And...

Azanor made some significant changes in Thaumcraft 4.1. The changes are larger than a simple 4.05 --> 4.1 "oh, just 0.05" would imply. I'm enjoying most of the changes, but not everything is sunny side of the street. Here is what I've experienced so far: Lower Barrier of Entry Azanor addressed...

The vast majority of the modded MC player community "gets" that FTB and the MC modding community in general is comprised of volunteers whose primary motivation is a "labor of love". This is in contrast to a traditional, for-profit gaming company whereby the user pays their money, and there is an...

I haven't yet had a need to store liquids beyond ~100 buckets or so. For seed oil and honey, I'm using wax capsules and that's more than fine. However, I've bred my first decent sapling tree and am about ready to start making Ethanol for TE3 Dynamos for ExtraBees machines. My power usage, while...

Just want to express my gratitude, thanks, and empathy to all mods devs for their late nights, pulled hairs, and especially putting up with Internet miscreants. Without you guys, FTB would not be what it is today and I would not have nearly as much fun with MC and gaming in general as I do. I...

I have a starter MAC that has served me well, but needs upgrading. The traditional way of upgrading would be to break and re-build a bigger MAC. However, does AE support multiple MACs ? And, if it does, will crafting jobs with parallel work be optimally scheduled between the multiple MACs ...

IMHO, 1.5.2 was the golden age of bees. Binnie's Mods was fully supported, Forestry and Magic Bees were awesome (and still are, IMHO), and life was good. In the bee universe, there were no major bugs I was aware of and you could get nearly anything and everything - including some very useful...

I had never used the Arcane Bore until recently in TC4 and when I did, it went through my Repair II, Silk Touch I, Efficiency II Thaumimum Pickaxe like it was a wooden pickaxe. Before I realized it, it had taken the durability to 0, which apparently prevents Repair from self-healing. Currently...

Introduction I started this thread to help others learn and use Azanor's most excellent Thaumcraft 4 mod. It's a great mod, but with a helluva steep research learning curve that almost had me removing the mod from my server. I'm glad I didn't ! To save others similarly frustrating experiencies...

Looks like this can be used to store, extract, and move arbitrarily large chunks of world volume. I'm wondering if the NBT (and other ?) state data is kept such that *any* block and entity can be moved and its state saved. If so, this will make base moves much, much easier. Also, might be cool...

Given the recent liquid and solid fuel nerfs in BC and RC, what would a post-BC world look like for MJ or MJ-like power production ? Ender IO - Replaces 1.6 kinetic power pipes with superior MJ power conduits TE3 - Redstone Flux provides a nice power alternative to MJ, and the Itemducts are...

Are there currently alternatives in 1.6 to RC boilers and Industrial Steam Engines that are capable of 100+ MJ/t without resorting to small engine spam ? Call me contrarian, but I'm not a big fan of the liquid and solid fuel nerfs that seem to result in farm spam rather than any real change in...

With a custom mod pack that includes as many of the Unleashed mods as I can find that have 1.6 ports, I'm having a difficult time getting Ender Pearls. This is mostly due to Endermen apparently being much less common. I've tried all the techniques I had used in 1.5.x to find/lure Endermen, but...

I'm going down the Abominable Branch for goodies like TiC ores, Blaze Rods, and lava, and seeing how I do *not* like to be attacked by own bees nor have my cute little golems suffer from bee attacks, I wrote over the negative Effect trait with a good one. So far, no problems and I'm hoping I...
