Would it be possible to have a block/structure working like a minimap, only wall-mounted? Something along the lines of the Industrial Information Panel; a large screen showing a map of the immediate surrounding area. Useful for knowing when mobs/players approach your base, showing visitors...

By the way (and maybe this would require its own thread, but it's strangely on-topic here)... Do any of you have any tips of what to do with a huge base? I mean, we've all been there at some point. You've got the world at your feet, a large, nice plain to build on, more resources than you could...

This sounds like a cool idea, though I can see it requiring a lot of coding work. I really hope you're able to pull it off, though! I too am a really big fan of the GregTech idea of high-tier machines with great requirements both for resources, power and space. Having to build a proper factory...

What do you need Soul Sand for, anyway? Digging out a "dune" of it in The Nether would yield several stacks, more than enough for most purposes.

I've noted that most mods, if not all, agree on the use of Millibuckets (mB) as a unit of measure for fluid volume. Mod makers seem to disagree on a lot of things, but fluids are universally measured in mB. Is this the single instance of an "industry standard" mod makers have managed to agree...

Today I discovered that enchanting Efficiency IV on an Advanced Diamond Drill in FTB Ultimate wasn't such a good idea. It mines blazingly fast, sure, but is now useless for construction work. If I misplace a single block, I usually tear down half the wall when I try to remove it.

But the seas remain as empty as they were in Beta 1.2...

After playing and enjoying the heck out of FTB Ultimate since I found it half a year ago, I'm thinking about putting it aside and look into a new FTB pack. Preferrably a tech pack, since I don't really like magic mods (as opposed to most others; it seems like I see three magic mods discussed for...

Hey guys, it seems like regular, Vanilla Minecraft is going to get a proper overhaul of world generation soon. Should be enough to satisfy even those who felt Amplified was lacking. [/Caps Lock to attract attention]. EDIT: Caps Lock removed. Looks like somebody got the thread back on track...

No matter what you do, at least keep all the important stuff on the same floor. It gets really, really tedious if you have to run up and down stairs all the time to get stuff done. I keep my depot, ore processing line and workshop in the same hall, with my bed in an adjacent room. The hall has...

I've never looked into changing the mod lists of packs, adding or removing anything, but it seems like the 1.7 packs will be missing a certain mod I'd really like to play with. I guess the appropriate response to my problems would be "just add it yourself", to which I reply: "Yeah, that's the...

Quarries. How can quarries be an efficient base defense, you ask? Well, you only have to use enough of them. And then have your small, well-lit base floating above the hole. At the moment, the closest edge of the hole is more than a hundred metres away from the base. The farthest edges are so...

Oceans. I'm fine with them being there, but why do they have to be so absolutely deprived of content? Squids, dirt, sand and water for as far as the eye can see. Every now and then you come across a flooded cave opening, and Strongholds have an annoying tendency to generate under oceans, but...

Ah, yes. The first recipe, crafting 1 Basalt Cobblestone into 1 Basalt, is just that one recipe slapped onto a Blank Pattern, which was then put into a ME Inferface directly on top of an Induction Furnace. A ME Import Bus sucks the finished products out of the Furnace and back into the ME...

Reposting my question since it passed unnoticed the last time: In good ol' FTB Ultimate, I'm building a base using Basalt Paver as a main building brick. Since vast quantities of the stuff is required for the flooring, I decided to put Basalt Cobblestone -> Basalt and Basalt -> Basalt Paver...

EU-splitter cables in 1.4.7. Nice idea, being capable of cutting off EU supply to over-draining machines, but my oh my are their Redstone current requirements a pain in the back to cope with. They can't take a current from cables nor levers, there has to be Redstone Torches or Dust involved. In...

BuildCraft's Mining Well, I guess. Needs Redstone, but it can technically be sufficient enough to keep you from leaving the surface ever again once you've found two pieces of it (one for the Well itself, another for an engine required to power it).Though, be prepared to spend a LOT of time...

That entirely depends. Consider a hypothetical weapon called "Wither's Bane". A ranged weapon capable of killing a Wither from a comfortable distance with a single shot, and also destroys Wither Skeletons and make them drop their skulls 100 % of the time. OP much? Not if several Nether Stars...

Tell me, did you even read the thread?

In good ol' FTB Ultimate, I'm building a base using Basalt Paver as a main building brick. Since vast quantities of the stuff is required for the flooring, I decided to put Basalt Cobblestone -> Basalt and Basalt -> Basalt Paver recipes into my AE autocrafting system. So far, so good. But once I...
