Finally ready to show off a little myself, and ask for a bit of advice...First off:
My house:
BioMass/Fuel Production "Hat" building as I call it, and my floating Multifarms:
My smaller Rubber Plantation building, and my Lava "guardian":
My AE Living room:
Mystcraft room:
AE Processing room, deep beneath the ocean:
Still working on it for the most part, but proud of what I have so far.
Now my question:
See thsoe blue lights littered around the ground in my pics? I love/hate them. I love the techy look, yet I hate how cluttered they are. I'm trying to light up my yard to cease the spawning of evil little beings, yet it looks to...ugh.
Any ideas? I've used Wrath lamps in the past, yet they've been bugging out on me and causing some crashes. Nitor from Thaumcraft slaughters my poor FPS with tons around. I wouldn't mind making 'streetlamps' or such, as long as they look decent..
You could use the blue lights (along with other blocks) to make the paths look better. What are those things called anyway?
There is a LOT of open space you can fill in with some buildings, even if they don't have a function. That would remove the need of cluttering the land with pointless lights.
Those are the Lux Capacitor mod from the Modular Powersuits. I'm on a different pack updated for 1.5.2.
I have plans for some other buildings around, but they would take some time. I was able to get some Magnum torches and bury them for now. They work rather well
Holy epic scale, Batman! *jealous* How long did that take you?
Hi, it's kinda grown over a few weeks in between doing tech stuff inside it. I'd not got around to doing any of the upper towers until a couple of days ago when I spent an afternoon putting them together, the towers are all the same so once I'd done one the rest were pretty quick, I think the little wooden bridge between the front 2 took the most time
This is what I've been working on for the past bit. New map, private server, custom mod pack. I am trying to go with a very vanilla feel for the village. This actually started out as a village spawn, and I have some villagers held captive to repopulate the town, but haven't gotten that far yet.
Overview of the fields. You can see the golem labor. Along the left, I have some conveyor belts, item routers and MFR fertilizers. These are the crops that fertilizer can help grow and will assist in providing work for the golems to do. The building in the center is the smeltery/blacksmith. The building on the right is an unfinished butcher/meat packing plant. I'm not really liking the feel of the building there, so it may get demolished and moved elsewhere.
The front of the smeltery. I like the look of the chiseled road, but felt that using them exclusively would make the town seem a bit too modern and didn't fit the feel I was going for. Mixing them with gravel and the occasional grass block seems to fit the slightly run-down theme I am looking for.
This massive smeltery is the center point of the building. On the left are the tool stations and chests to hold supplies. There are a lot of extra chests in here at the moment as I ran out of room in my AE network.
My semi-automated basins. I have hoppers below to pull out the finished blocks and place them in the chest. I still have to click on the spouts manually to fill. I thought about trying to automate it more, but I'm trying to keep the aesthetics intact.
Automated feeder system for the smeltery. Great for making seared stone Also the manual casting basin and table next to the tool stations.
My hidden staircase leading down to the wonderful world of tech. All steam based. It is very much a work in progress, and I'm not ready to show that part of the base yet.

Looks like you at least have a very nice start
Thanks. I have most of my planning for the rest of the base done, it just takes a while to actually build it. I don't think anyone really wants to see a room with a bunch of cramped machines, and half-built CF walls. It's functional, but not inspiring in the least. Some of the more advanced GT machines aren't even built. I just have some dirt with a sign reminding me what goes there.
Wow, I should really start playing on the resonant rise server shouldn't I? Is it whitelisted?[DOUBLEPOST=1374719621][/DOUBLEPOST]What's the I.P. ? I can't seem to find it anywhere...
it's whitelisted and it's full but since RR is released their might be more soon.
Awwwwwww, that's so sad D: I won't be able to get yelled at for stealing people's names though
Here's the lobby: [incomplete]
Looking up from the glass center:

I'm going to void this soon:
More to Come with Updated Rooms!

I plan to add another layer of that. It's at two, with 80 combustion engines each. So I'll be at 240 combustion engines powering 48 magma crucibles.
Also, I intend on using soul furnaces to get cobble -> netherrack, using witches for glowstone and sludge for soul sand. We'll see if that is actually sustainable, but it'd double my output without having to rely on something like a quarry in the nether.

I've got a week off from my medical residence, so I'm finally building my big 'ol house in my world, so check it out.
This thing is pretty goddamn huge right now, and I've only got the outlines in.
The floor pattern in each of the two wings:
The beginnings of the second and third floors, and the mostly completed walls. No lights or anything yet:
Just a shot to give a little perspective on the size. It's one of the largest engineering projects I've undertaken, and stretches nearly 100 blocks wide and 60 blocks long, when it's done it will be at least 3 stories tall and several stories underground:
Stay tuned for updates!

That looks very nice, I love huge builds. Me and my brother is actually doing something similar right now, but we're pretty dang slow at it. Will post something of my won once we get on with it, in the meantime, I'll be looking forward to seeing your updates.
I should start taking pictures already actually, would make a good progression album.
