New player with an agenda

[Delcar]

I've been known to move into villages as a starting base, but I remember a few patches back the constant slamming of doors sent me into a killing rage....

On topic, the Thermal expansion machines are my new favorite way to start - with Forestry engines providing the power - a little water and dirt and you can get peat fired engines rolling fairly quick.

Yup!.
Based on a suggestion on a video, it was suggested I place in the mods Optifind...or Opti SOMEHTING, as well as Mo creatures, I tried doing it the way the did and it did not work for me.
I am of course talking about Hatfilms.

ALSO, I wonder if there is a mod that allows players to equip a back pack to increase their bag space? As well as perhaps turn them into a mobile crafting place. I heard of pocket crafting talbe from Enigmus, but I wonder if their is a pocket furnace as well?

There are canvas bags which require a fair amount of string.
Or backpacks

If you're planning on using the pocket crafting table, I find it's best to use in conjunction with bags or backpacks as you use a 3x3 section of your inventory.

Use a minium stone for your crafting. The stone can also be used to covert into smelted materials in many cases.
