Feed the Beast vs Tekkit?

[ShneekeyTheLost]

My only problem with Technic is the incredibly toxic forum. You have zero place to go where you can get useful assistance on the Technic launcher. It's newbie-friendliness is roughly on par with an arbitrarily large value on a halving algorithm. It might not ever achieve zero, but it requires so many significant digits to parse that you might as well not bother.

imo the communities are the biggest differences between technic and ftb.

There is an ongoing internet war between the modpacks. It's mostly about money and internet fame, iirc.

^^This.

I'll own this.

It's weird not to include this.

Most of the official FTB people will give you a very neutral political response, but in reality they're competitors, so don't mention tekkit on the FTB forums, is what they want to say.

Since when does competitors mean people can't mention them? Last time I checked none of us mods said Tekkit was a forbidden word.

We aren't answering the guy's question cause shockingly we have no clue how the Tekkit launcher works...

I sense agitation.

You'll be sensing kittens in a minute.

Cause I mentioned Tekkit? Seems rather harsh.

The only person who thinks Tekkit is a forbidden/bad word is you.

Notice my title... I am a global moderator. If I say Tekkit isn't forbidden on the forums... its not.

So, would a tekkit mod be allowed to create an account on an FTB forum?

Did you not read Jaded's post? Yes.

I feel like FTB is USA and Tekkit is Soviet, in this situation.

Several of them have accounts. And I have one at Tekkit and Something Awful. I believe I am meeting the Tekkit crew for drinks next month. And they all give nice hugs.

You guys are old enough to drink? Ewe.

I have to admit, I am quite happy with the support I got from the FTB Community to help me reach a decision.

I have opened a similar topic in the Tekkit Forum, and while there I got 13 replies in my thread, counting my own replies as well, here the replies are 95 (96) so far. Pretty nice, thank you .

And I think this is a useful and interesting discussion, not only for me.

TBH, you find a pack to get you started, then after a while you start learning what you like and dislike within that pack, so you either look for another pack, or take the alternate route of building your own pack. All methods have pro's and cons.

For myself, I was Tekkit in 1.2.5, then heard about FTB, and started with Direwolf20 pack. Seemed to contain most of what I was used to, and some new stuff, plus a series to watch to learn the new stuff. Eventually I learnt what I liked/disliked, and none of the latest FTB packs matched my requirements, combined with the annoying update system that nukes your mod/config folder lead me to eventually take the plunge and work on my own pack.

FTB for me now is a great community, where you can actually talk with Devs and have semi-serious discussions. I feel that this community (players and devs combined) have helped shaped the development of many a mod.

Um. Who makes money? I know FTB doesn't make money. Does technic? I'm pretty sure they don't, cause Minecraft's and mod author's policies and all that. And that "war" ended ages ago.

dont get to drunk.

I always disagree with this advice... Always.

Um actually both FTB and Technic are businesses. Not for modpacks or mods. For t-shirts and such.
