    Request What are the cool, progression based packs that aren't expert?

    Thanks for the tips. I will go check these out. It'll be nice to have a bit more structure then the kitchen pack stuff.

    Request What are the cool, progression based packs that aren't expert?

    So for years, I've heard all this hype about expert packs. How they blend all the mods together in cool ways to create a sense of progression, and I loved that idea. I also heard they were "Harder" then normal packs but I didn't think that would be a big deal. So, for the first time I tried...

    Thanks for the help, all! I didn't mean 4 coal ore, I meant the coal ore creates 4 coal (Well, 3 and a good chance at some dust. I thought it was 90 but I guess it's a bit less) but still those are promising numbers! I'm gonna get started on that soon!

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    This is a bit of an odd question... it's more of a "Check my maths" than anything else, because I've run into this and it's bugging me. I'm currently running an FTB Beyond game where I'm looking at interesting ways to expand my power generation. I know I could make a big reactor or some...

    Best way to reduce lag from generators turning on and off (Or any other interesting solutions)

    Awesome! Exactly what I wanted to know! This is why I asked, I NEVER would have found that out by myself! And yes, the multi-generator solution was absouletely what I was trying to figure too, but I've been having trouble finding things that give me enough power. I'm running a few Dynamos...

    Best way to reduce lag from generators turning on and off (Or any other interesting solutions)

    I've run into a problem in my base that has just... befuddled me. Googling it has turned up no good answers, so I figured I'd just toss it out here. I'm playing FTB Beyond, running my base on a Diesel Generator using Diesel fuel from Immersive Petroleum (I added it) The generator feeds into...

    Beyond Pack + Mekanism/Tank Options

    I'm not going to touch balance because that's so complicated but I played a pack with Mekanism once and thought it was a really good mod and I'm sad it doesn't get any love in FTB packs.

    What Has Happened in the Last Few Years?

    Mannnnn, For years I was wondering when we'd move on from 1.7 and now it happens but I have to leave behind Thaumcraft? Way to Sophie's choice me.

    Is Modded Minecraft going to stay in 1.7 forever?

    I hate to ask what I feel like is such a silly question but I'm very curious what people who have been following the scene think. When I first found FTB it was back in 1.4 When I came back a year or so later things had moved on to 1.5 or 6, and I figured this would be the way things continued...

    1.7.10 FTB Pack News

    Hey, long time lurker, not so frequent poster. I just want to say, I'm excited abut the direction you guys are taking FTB. Like many others here, I often just downloaded whatever pack was biggest (Ultimate, then Unhinged, then Monster) but in retrospect, all the conflicting mod packs made a...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Yeah, I'll try this later today when I get a chance. The only problem I see is, assuming it works like the ones it's based on where it discards rock and dirt by placing them in the first few slots, isin't it going to get caught up on all the various geostra blocks?

    Monster pack, Tinkers' Construct and mimichite?

    It's pretty nifty if you have a shortage. I'm having a terrible time trying to find diamond, and it's let me turn my 5 diamond into 13ish.

    I glanced at the computercraft forums at stuff like this, but I couldn't even figure out how to use it. How do I get that into a turtle?

    Monster pack, Tinkers' Construct and mimichite?

    Mimichite is just an item that double a unit. When you use it on an unrefined item (Like say, gout) it gives you two of the refined item instead of one. Pretty sure you can still make seared brick whatever way it was made before. Furnace?

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Playing monster, and I cannot find enough diamond to get going. So far I've tried branch mining, spelunking, mining turtles (didn't work because I'm too stupid to use them) mining in the nether AND going to the twilight forest to find diamond in a hill, and all together I've managed to get...

    That's what I thought, can't seem to get it to work, I think it changed in experimental. I know I could do lava but I spent so much time getting these nifty coalfuel cells I want to use them on something...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I'm confused as to how I should fuel my mining turtle with coalfuel. At first I thought I could just put the coalfuel cells into the turtle, but I was told that I they have to be added to a fuel can. Now I have a fuel can, but I don't understand how I'm supposed to get the fuel into it. The...

    How do you sort/store your stuff (Monster)

    See, this is why I love FTB. There's always some new mod that makes what I was trying to do before look stupid. Saw D20 do an overview of logistics pipes and it seemed AMAZING. AE is a little harder to wrap my head around, even if it might ultimately be a better solution.

    How do you sort/store your stuff (Monster)

    Inspired by this topic: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/how-do-you-gather-resources-monster.42789/ There's a variety of different methods of storing things, both in the early and late games. I think the most advanced I ever managed was some diamond pipes sorting to a few diamond...
