I think I might go with a circular shaped RP2 frame quarry. That way I can also adjust it as I go down and maybe even touch up any walls and stuff.

I've also experimented with nukes and those can create pretty nice holes, but I don't want to risk blowing away the entire volcano just because I want a big hole beneath it xD Not to mention that they're expensive.
TNT might not be bad, but the clean up is usually just as much work as it would be to dig it out by hand. Especially with the fast tools in these mods.

yeah and then every time theres an update you have to screw around with it again (yes I know it gives you the option to save your cfg but you still have to mess around with it putting things in place after each and every restart)
Gregtech is the worst mod in the pack bar non. If XYCraft never added anything other than quartz and pretty blocks it would still be a better mod than GTech

And the configs won't be a problem once the Ultimate pack comes out as there will be a way to swap between different config modes. At this point it almost seems you have a personal vendetta against the mod and its maker, so can we please drop the highschool drama? You can easily make your argument without attacking the mod and its maker as much as you do.

Vendetta? Oh no not at all. If there was a way to keep gregtechs machines, while leaving the recipies of other mods alone, I'd probably love the mod. As it stands, I can't stand it :)
DW20 pack for me it seems :p

What are they currently waiting on BTW, Mystcraft or EE3? I sure hope it's not EE3 because in it's current state it seems to break more than it adds to FTB.

heard somewhere that they're waiting for the research portion of Mystcraft to be completed? Don't quote me on that though as I can't remember where I saw that...

That's just silly. They should not wait on stuff that's not finished. By the time that's finished they run into the next set of issues with a new MC release or something :(

They should be waiting on at least Mystcraft as, really, it has quite a few crashing bugs. One of the problems with my previous game was, for starters, every single age having horrible instability (like lightning, combustion, random explosions, and something else at the same time consistently) and every 2-3 ages I would get a hard crash that would prevent me from logging in, forcing me to go to the age data for that save and swap the age name my char was in with one that wouldn't crash (for example I'd crash in age 4, I'd swap it with age 3 and in the new age 4, which was the former age 3). I actually tried fixing this using NBTEdit to force my char in Dimension 0 (overworld) but every time I'd restart the game it would force me back into the bugged dimension.

Add on to that crashes dealing with portals and carts that people have been mentioning around here and people losing items in ender chests (not mystcraft but still annoying) as well as people getting massive amounts of duplicate buckets leads to needing a good deal of bugs needing to be worked out.

Edit: And it's not that they're waiting for the research portion so much as the dev stated he has no plans to update mystcraft until he has part of it in the mod, though he did also mention making not adding in all of it so he can release it sooner.

we waited for Redpower.

IMHO is different situation. It was more or less finished, there were other mods that were almost ready for 1.4.6 and, unlike EE3, I consider RP2 to be a core must-have mod because it fixes so many of the issues the basic redstone system has. RP2 was ready pretty much when the other mods were ready. Now we're waiting for the ultimate pack to be releases for what, a month now?

THe problem is that a lot of servers who are on Beta A are waiting to move to Ultimate and since no one knows when it's going to happen and how hard the current world will break, people basically stopped playing. If there's no worldgen stuff that we need to wait on (like RP2) it should be releases asap IMHO.

Agreed. If a mod is buggy/crashing but doesn't have world gen you could just not include it and have a notice that it will be included when ready. I'm fine as personally I can keep myself occupied with mindcrack in the mean time and I imagine similar for DW20 players, but for those waiting there's no real reason to if the world gen is already there. There's the slight disadvantage of possibly starting without some mods and them not being so interesting later on (although I don't see how EE3 or mystcraft could fall into that), but than that's in the hands of the server admin and is their choice.

Can't say I care for Ultimate, my pc can't handle it anyway but I understand the longing, it's like watching the final percentages of a download while the speed decreases :p C'mooooon!

So at this point is it realistic to wait for the Ultimate Pack? We are ready to start a new world but I don't know how long we can hold out. We don't currently use FTB so we are not familiar with the pace of release.

No one is very familiar with the pace of release, because there have not been many releases....
But yes, it is realistic to wait the Ultimate Pack, it is just that many people don't WANT to. Also Lite and Tech World will be out very soon (on Monday I think), so you can always consider those two packs to play on instead.
