Aaaaalright. We're gonna blow it up and I'm going to host my own server for a bit. I am starting with FTB lite as a base, then adding back in the same mods I'm using now, mostly buildcraft and thaumcraft based. I'm running up the tech tree, but I'm also trying to keep things "practical". What that means is, I'm not interested in building an automatic farming machine. I am interested in making an automatic farm out of basic components. That sort of thing. It looks like Pneumaticcraft would be another good example.
I'm looking for any suggestions anyone may have that might be worth looking into. For the most part, the mods are kind of a random hodge-podge. Would love something that lets me build an airship or something to that effect, too, if that exists.
Any must-haves out there that aren't already included in FTB lite?
Edit: I'd give you all the full list, but I'm not at home, so I only have half a list atm.
