I'd be interested to see this. I've done a small bit of that, but never got a massive base up.
That also has me wondering, what would make for a good, minimal, focus on RoC pack? Possibly a discussion for another topic though.
What cool little thing have you discovered today?

I took Horizons and ripped out some distraction mods and added ElectriCraft (A RoC submod and excellent compliment to it)
I've been doing some experimenting with producing steam from the Tinker's Steelworks high oven. Using a combination of AE, TE, and MFR, I can get a raw 2667RF/tick out of a single 3x3x8 high oven. (2506 RF/tick after subtracting the AE costs.) I don't think it can be pushed much higher.
I just discovered the biomes o plenty's long grass (the topsoil block of the garden biome) works as farmland. For any kind of plant. I have essence seeds growing on long grass. Very cool indeed.
What would be amazing is if origin grass dropped tall grass drops when tilled. Like in the olden days.[DOUBLEPOST=1402792945][/DOUBLEPOST]Crap. Don't try farming with the tall grass. I tried harvesting wheat and it causes a crash block. Every time I try to enter the world, it crashes. So much for that.
I found out that you can use Twilight Forest transformation powder to transform Twilight Wraiths into Blazes, which can then be killed for blaze rods(which I've been needing for a brewing stand, among many other things).
This was quite useful to me because I've had tough luck finding any blazes in the nether, and the item similar to blaze powder you get from those fire plants in the desert can't be combined to make the rods, so I needed blazes.
Good stuff.
Side note: You wouldn't believe the time I had trying to clear out a large Hollow Hill with stone swords and leather armor, dying over and over, then respawning in a little hut I built outside the hill. Must have spent 1 hour and a 1/2 on it. And on top of that, at some point an overworld creeper must have stumbled into my portal, so when I spawned in the TF he exploded and stranded me without a diamond to make a new one. As a result, I spent I don't know how much time gathering resources for IC2 machines and coal to macerate/compress to finally get a diamond from a coal chunk, seeing as how I couldn't find any in the world.......Sheesh.

That actually sounds rather fun.I found out that you can use Twilight Forest transformation powder to transform Twilight Wraiths into Blazes, which can then be killed for blaze rods(which I've been needing for a brewing stand, among many other things).

Today I've learned that to get the Popular Member Title you need 100 Throphy Points - and for the Forum Addict, 150!
200 for Over-Achiever? Oh, a man can dream...

I've learned that 5000 steel is not a lot of steel.

well, heard of it long ago, found it a while back on tvtropes, found its wiki two days ago, got the basic game yesterday, picked up a modded version + texture pack today.
give it up for DWARF FORTRESS.
complex as heck, but awesome fun. (the normal fun, not game-ending "fun", though I fully expect that to come along)
half the RoC blocks take nearly a full stack of steel if not more.
and you need a lot of them.
get back to digging son! your 2-second break is OVER.
