I haven't heard of any other mods that add spawners like SS1. The only mods that I know of that provide mob spawning on demand are SS2 and MFR (Auto Spawner + Safari Net + Mob Essence + BC power).

I'd be tempted to use some mod to simply pick up spawners and turn them on/off with redstone lamps. Though I suppose the real advantage of Soul Shards was that it would still function even at a distance.
Hmm you made me really exited about this. Have 663 lengths of ME cable in my present network so had high hopes for improved FPS! Sadly only gave about 1-2 FPS, but anything is welcome. Makes the heart of my base a little more tolerable

Yeah, SS2 blows. No offense meant against the mod author, it is his mod after all. Though, I would be better off with DartCraft in this instance as the vanilla spawners can be crafted with renewable resources compared to SS2, when the 2 kinds of spawners are identical to each other except for 2 things. One can be picked up using a normal pickaxe and can be activated/deactivated by Redstone signals, while the other is purely vanilla and requires Force Wrench instead.
SS1 was widely criticized for being overpowered, the rate that it could spawn mobs at and that they worked even when the player was up to 100 blocks away. It's a no-win situation, I feel sorry for anyone who sticks their neck out by releasing and updating a mod.
Also keep in mind that SS2 still lets you make custom spawners that work in the overworld. For example blaze & wither skelly.
I really found lots of stuff like Golemancy and soul shards.
The only way to get exp is to kill mobs but you can't get exp through killing them by suffucating them.
So is there a golem that can kill then collect exp or just collect exp when a mob dies?
I am planning to get nice enchancements for my Armor collection and gears.

True. But the only criticism against it is the material required vs it's' function.
Yes, you can spawn them in the overworld but the requirement of it needing the essence which can only be gotten by breaking spawners means you are pretty limited by it.
Compared to how DC handles it by making you grind the mobs for a chance at chunks, which you would need a lot of, to craft a regular spawner.
But adheres to vanilla spawning mechanics of requiring a player near it, so there really isn't much of an advantage to SS2 since one could just place a spawner (blaze, zombie pigmen or wither skeleton) in the nether near their nether portal.
Item sorting could always be sent transdimensional back to base by using either enderstorage or tesseracts.
All in all, all I'm not pleased with the cost to effect ratio. But of course, if he adds in upgrades later on (wouldn't mind the cost of more essences required if it's not too outrageous) to improve the capability of the spawners, I would probably change my tune.
An iron golem (the thaumcraft one, not the vanilla one) with a visor will let mobs drop exp. The visor is hidden research that requires knowledge fragments. Get 9 fragments, craft them together to get research notes, and then put the research notes into the research table where you'd normally have something being researched (the slot just above where excess paper goes). You may have to do this several times to get the visor.[DOUBLEPOST=1385843826][/DOUBLEPOST]
Doesn't the collection module automatically output to an adjacent inventory?
A vanilla blaze spawner works just fine in the overworld. The advantage is more that you can create spawners for mobs that don't normally have one (i.e. creeper).
For what it's worth, I prefer spawnerless vanilla designs. I like that they're whole structures, not just a room.
Apparently not, I tried it and it doesn't do anything(the info text says it's only for blocks destroyed by the desintegration matrix).
I also tried the confiscate module with an empty whitelist or a blacklist with the items the mobs drop and it does nothing.
Normally the forcefield doesn't replace existing blocks, you need the disintegration module to make it do that (and thus drop the items to be collected). Confiscate, I believe, strips players of items according to the white/blacklist. I haven't actually tried to use MFFS to kill mobs, but I'd assume the Anti-hostile module possibly with the assistance of the collection module would do the trick.
I found a youtube vid that uses MFFS calclavia to make a quarry similar to the old RP2 tunnel bores.
