Well I'm here looking for some mods to jump into right away in my FTB experience,
I tried installing Better Dungeons, but it doesn't generate the Dungeons, I noticed too that RogueLike Dungeons is installed and wondered if the two are conflicting. Aside from that, I just want some cool mods to use that will help me get the resources I need to start my world at a good pace, whether that would be RPG mods, game enhancements, etc., I'm specifically searching for mods that have all of the resources through, Y: 0 - 255. I've been having some troubles with the keybinding, but I'll probably be able to fix that on my own. So if you guys could list some mods or give me some insight on my problems that would be greatly appreciated!

For betterdungeons, just putting the file in the mods folder isen't enough, you have to put another folder called chocolate inside your minecraft instance directory.

Then inside this folder there is a subfolder called dungeonconfig, in there are configs (.prop files) for the different dungeon types. One of the things these configs do is set the biomes these dungeons can register (by default only vanilla biomes). You probably have BoP installed, so it's natural you don't see any dungeons because 80% of the biomes are BoP biomes. You have to add the BoP biomes to these configs.

So BoP is installed default? I am extremely experienced with MC but FTB that's a different story.

Oh I know that, but now what I really need is a file directory from one of you guys, I'm probably going to reset and backup my Monster and try to watch some tutorials or let you guys guide.

I usually like getting into Thaumcraft as soon as I have access to paper and ink-starting the research early means that when you actually want to use one of the cool toys you don't have to grind along the path to it. I'd try to get a grindstone early on so you have a cheap but somewhat tedious ore doubling mechanism. Blood Magic has some fun things to play with as well-I'd definitely recommend having a look at it

Thanks, so do you have Skype by any chance? You seem like a good help and I'd like to talk about Monster a bit!

It's perfectly fine, I can now use BetterDungeons (hopefully) so I added some mods to Monster, Archmedes Ships and TreeCapitator, are any mods in Monster not compatible with BetterDungeons?

Betterdungeons is compatible wiht everything, you just have to be careful with capsules (backup your world before you use a capsule on some "unsafe" blocks)

Not really much of a Skyper-also I don't do much with the tech mods, as I mostly play Magic World 2. Thaumcraft is fairly heavily documented in the Thaumonomicon-most of the stuff you need to know is in there. If you want to play around with Blood Magic, there's a wonderful guide written by @Padfoote here: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/beginners-guide-to-blood-magic.39927/

If you're looking to add more mods, Forbidden Magic is a fun one to have, as it offers extra wand and staff options (for example you can make Thaumcraft wands that recharge using your life essence from Blood Magic). It also adds an alternative form of autospawning, tools and weapons that can hold three unique sets of enchantments, and some more enchantments.

If you like building, I'd also suggest Carpenter's Blocks as another mod which adds a lot of possibilities.

I suggest using this version instead of the forum one, since it's been updated a bit more (still out of date, but I'll fix that soon) and contains links directly to an article for each item and block. @Vaygrim has also done a great video tutorial series, which covers everything from T1 to the alchemy and spell systems.

*facepalm*
Just unzip the downloaded file and put the provided Chocolate folder in /minecraft, and the /mods/betterdungeons<version>.zip in the /minecraft/mods doirectory.

Buildcraft is an old mod that has what I consider one of the very best uses of power: The quarry. Its a total classic and you havent really played until youve set one up. The pump and filler are also two very useful machines and even though they have been outclassed a long time ago, BC pipes are good for sorting items. Diamond pipes to be exact.

I know what Buildcraft is, and what it does, I've played with the machines and engines and haven't had success...
I've looked at wikis watched videos, I just can't really power anything
