Too Much Free Time
I would like to see someone make an addon for ex nihilo which would introduce a set of machines. The machines would have an input for blocks that can be sieved and would output into an inventory. Each tier of machine would be faster and cost more. The machines would require power. IC2, RF, BC) The autonomous activator from TE doesn't require power and comes with a whole slew of other items.
Ok, so here's my idea.
A mod that makes the overworld seem more like a realistic wilderness with big and small game. Remove Skeletons and Zombies...and replace them with things like skittish deer to hunt, hostile Grizzly Bears, hostile big cats...snakes...badgers maybe. Add recipes for weapons and utilities that are specifically used to hunt...like rifles of varying quality, compound bows, camouflage gear, bait, traps, machete's, nets, tree stands, etc. Drops would be new types of food, pelts for crafting, bones (replacing skelly drop), and venom from snakes (poison tipped arrows for hunting perhaps?). Random carcasses could be found...like a deer that was killed by another predator, that maybe could provide some rotten flesh (replacing zombie drop).
The nether and the end would remain unchanged...they would be the "fantasy mob" elements of the game. Endermen could also still spawn in the overworld as they drop by for visits...but they may just get attacked by some of these new hostile mobs.
Ideally, I'd like to see automation of hunting be difficult/impossible. The goal would be that it would become easier as you get new tools/utility gear/weapons.

Maybe Monsters would still underground though to keep mining quite dangerous and have an even creepier feel.
True. The other possibility could be to have other "mutant bugs" other than spiders down there. Hostile bats? Bug Swarms that would be chased off swinging your torch as a weapon? Admittedly though, my thoughts were more surface world based.
More thoughts on this idea.
Mobs by biome. Polar bears and seals in snow biomes. Scorpions and camels in desert biomes.
Thirst mechanic. Ocean water = salt water and not thirst quenching. River water drinkable, but contaminated, so some disease damage as a result. Add filtration methods, and other drinks as options.
Temperature mechanic. Different biomes have different temperatures. Wearing your iron/diamond armor in the desert makes you too hot, and you become thirsty much, much faster. Wearing lighter clothing, a large brimmed hat or head scarf would help keep thirst down. Similarly, dress warmly for a colder biome or take freezing damage. Using animal pelts to create heavy coats/parkas to prevent this.

Can someone please make a mod that removes chickens giving live birth and random egg laying and instead have them lay eggs randomly within a configurable time and rate after they are bred together? I just got to changing Hunger Overhaul rates in my pack and I cannot find any way to make the egg laying tolerable.
I really need a mod that lets you customise, create and remove dungeons easily without having to code them yourself for a modpack I'm making, if anyone can take up the offer or tell me if one exists already that'd be great
How about a mod that replaces the "bonemeal effect" from both vanilla and mod items with a new "fertilizer" effect that replaces the farmland a crop is on with fertilized farmland that speeds up growth time of crops growing on it by a configurable amount. Additionally, the fertilizer is used up after a configurable amount of growth stages.
I recall from... my 1.2.5 days, maybe? A mod that did something similar -- as long as you had a map in your inventory that covered the current area it would show that on your HUD. Sadly, I don't recall what mod it was, and I never actually used that feature.
I've got an idea for a small, mostly functional 1.6.4 (maybe 1.7, when it gets more mods) mod, loosely based off of TPPI Tweaks: Extra Compatibility. Basically, it tweaks a few things here and there, making multi-mod environments more...cohesive, I think would be an appropriate term. Things like:
- BC chipset recipes that replace redstone with electrum, in addition to the default ones. They'd take more power, but you'd get more chipsets per operation than simply using redstone.
- Something like RotaryCraft's dynamometer for RF, MJ, and EU systems so you can read the throughput in real time without needing a network reader of some sort.
- Mekanism machine recipes for things like non-vanilla gem dusts, smelting of ReactorCraft graphite, metallurgic infuser recipes for ReactorCraft fuel pellets (where applicable), and so on.
- Use vanilla or IC2 iron furnaces to heat up Factorization steam boilers.
- Wither summoning/death sound muffler.
- RotaryCraft friction heater interaction with IC2 iron furnaces.
- And so on.

RFQuarryMod
A mod that provided a BC like quarry, but in the RF framework. Lets be frank, very few want the BC power framework, BCs pipes are laggy and the other "useful" machines have been broken for so long theyve been all but forgotten. The only reason BC continues to be included in a lot of packs is the lack of a viable alternative to the BC quarry.
A mod, in the spirit of Big Reactors, that provided a RF powered quarry, and only a RF powered quarry would be a hit.

1. no. Extra utilities is a discordant collection of balance issues and ridiculousness. I give you a potion generator, and raise you a pink generator. wtf is that about?
2. additionally, the "Ender" quarry is not a quarry, its a magic block replacing device. This might be good for lag, but seriously, I expect a quarry to make a big hole in the ground.
So, I reiterate, a mod that provides a quarry, and only a quarry, would be a hit.
How about Mekanism's Digital Miner? It can run off RF (as well as MJ and EU) and can be configured to make gigantic holes, if that's what you want.
Personally, I don't get the appeal of a big, ugly hole in the ground. Unless you're mining out a tainted chunk because you have neither the time nor patience to deal with Thaumcraft's research mechanics.

For some reason, I have never used Mekanism. That must change.
Yes, yes it must. Especially since, if memory serves, it no longer requires Universal Electricity to function. Plus, its basically got the old RP2 sorting tube (and sorting machine) system, sans mag-tubes.
