I think I'm going to do something completely crazy...

Haven't tested this, but I don't think unstable ingots explode when in ME storage. How could they, they're pure energy.
The latest version also prevents unstable ingot crafting in anything but a vanilla crafting table. So dropping those ingots in ME storage is literally like putting a landmine in your house. Once you pull them out... BOOM!

3. Atomic Science provides 2 files (api & core) on its download site & no real installation instructions. What I tried caused the launcher to just quit. I'm sure I'm the one missing something here, but I want to spend my time playing the game, not trouble shooting it.

The API is for mod devs, and is not a mod itself. Just need the core :)

Without BuildCraft, I'm finding myself more concerned about what to do with my 1st enderpearls than I am about my 1st diamonds, & the enderpearls are much harder to get. Since I don't seem to have any deserts near spawn this time, I'll also have to hit the nether sooner than I usually prefer.

The first thing I do with my ender pearls is make eyes of ender to find and go to the end. Once the ender dragon is out of the way it's easy to make an ender farm and get a lot more pearls. What's an ender farm you say? Well Steve is 2 blocks tall and enderman are 3 blocks tall. How could you exploit this to make killing enders safe and easy?

For Atomic Science, you also need UE-Core and Calclavia Core. There's supposed to be a note about that above the Atomic Science downloads, but with the way Cal's been busilly rearranging and breaking everything on the site, it might have vanished yet again.

I have both as they are in the pack (DW20) already to support MFFS.

Re: pearls: I may have to resort to that since the drop rate feels like 1/4 without looting. I have gotten 2 so far, so once I have blaze powder I can make the table from enchanting plus to get kitted out the way I like.

Lost as always
Either ExtraUtils or OpenBlocks, I forget which one, adds in Ender Lillies. They grow very slowly, like HOURS of actual gameplay time. However, they are a non-enderman source of ender pearls. Eventually. Once you have some EndStone (which can be made with Tinkers Construct or Thermal Expansion 3 without actually needing to hit the End), they will grow much faster.

Honestly, with a few ender lilies and a cursed earth farm, I don't feel any need to go to the end at all. In my last world I had a half barrel full of pearls before it dawned on me that the dragon still lived.

Although using RR, I'm kinda against killing said dragon due to unwanted actions occurring from the Hardcore Ender Expansion mod

Extra Utilities adds the Lillies. And if you have Thaumcraft, Cinderpearls drop Blaze Powder.

As for the End, I suggest the Hermitcraft Method of heading straight away from the entrance until the dragon unloads. Then you can make a safe platform for the endermen to spawn on without worrying about the dragon. Also, no, no one has a Floodgate replacement.

That's what I thought, so the 1st thing I tried was dropping Atomic-Science-1.1.0.45-core in the mods folder, & the launcher just quit in the middle of loading.
Actually, on the site where you download Atomic Science, there should be 2 links for where you have to go and download the Universal Electricity Core and Calclavia Core for it to work.
Edit: I need to learn to finish reading all remaining posts before replying.

Surprisingly Bevo just dumped Computercraft from his mod pack. Apparently it was looking for RedPower2 and kept corrupting his world. Sounds like getting rid of it is a good idea.
You might want to try open computers instead...

This is what all my viewers have been telling (yelling) for me to use instead. lol

I'm going to play around with it on my own this week and see how I like it. I have yet to have a single person tell me anything bad about Open Computers. Not sure if that is a good or bad thing. lol

No deserts = no cinderpearls. It was quicker & easier this seed to build a portal & find a nether fortress. Temp blaze farm in progress. To grow ender lilies, you first have to find ender lily seeds (last map I found 10 in 1 chest), so far I have 2 paint brushes & a dozen stencils (& a portal gun & 4 portal spawners), but no ender lily seeds. It's times like these that I really miss EE3. I'm up to 4 pearls from endermen kills, so I have my enchanting plus table & my enderthermic pump, with 1 left over for an enderpouch once I get a couple more blaze rods. I like to get a permanent base started & work up to a flight mechanic before I start looking for the end. I found 1 village out in the water to use as a temp HQ. The villagers I let out of their houses have all drowned. There are a few left still trapped inside. Since it looks like I'll have to travel farther than usual to find a good build site, I've been working on an Archimedes Ship big enough to carry a smeltery (eat, damn you sheep, eat!) & I'm keeping machines & automation to a bare minimum.

If OC involves anything even remotely resembling learning to code, then no, thank you.

Try the energy manipulator mod, brings back the Energy Condensor from EE2. Much better system then the minium stone, plus the mod is fully configurable on how it works, from it's EMC values to it's crafting recipes. On my server I made it one of the most expensive crafts, but gives a powerful block for players to work towards. Eventually you reach a point where you've had enough of mining or trying to farm certain resources, and just want to get on with building stuff, this block is a nice "shortcut".

There are prerelease builds of EE3 here: https://github.com/lluixhi/EE3-Builds/tree/master/1.6.4
They've been mostly stable for me, and while they have the (somewhat cheaty feeling) 4 Iron > Ender Pearl recipe, the exploit concerning Blaze Rods has been thankfully removed.
The only bad thing so far is that anything made in the Calcinator or the Aludel doesn't have a recipe, because there's no NEI plugin yet. For the curious, the below spoiler will spoil all your fun of finding out for yourself, but will tell all.

Both these devices use all standard Furnace fuel sources

Calcinator - used to make dusts. Anything not one of the following will produce Ash, which is not (yet) needed for anything.
Iron Ingots will produce Verdant Dust.
Gold Ingots will produce Azure Dust.
Diamonds will produce Minium Dust.

Aludel - to make this work, place down the Aludel Base, then a Glass Bell on top of it. This block is used for infusion.
To make infused Wood (Logs) or Wool, place in any Logs/Wool in one slot, and the required dust in the other. Add a fuel source, and you'll end up with Infused Logs/Wool, the former of which can be turned into Infused Planks, and used for Alchemical Chests.
Other recipes are as follows:
4xCoal+1xMinium Dust = 4xAlchemical Coal
1xAlchemical Coal+2xMinium Dust = 1xMobius Fuel ea
1xMobius Fuel+14xMinium Dust = 1xAeternalis Fuel ea
1x Inert Stone+8xMinium Dust = Minium Stone
