And of course, now that Thermal Expansion 3 is out (even if beta) the odds of it NOT getting included approach zero.
Of course. Who doesn't love TE?
TE and TiC, yes. Railcraft... I am getting less and less enamored of. But they still have the rails which gave it the name.You do like Railcraft, TiC and TE quite a lot, don't you Shneekey?
Honestly, I'm tempted to try a 'vanilla plus' mod setup with Modular Furnaces, TiCo, Natura, ExtraUtils, Enchanting+, and OpenBlocks. That's it. No tech, no magic, just augmented vanilla mechanics.

and if you've a decent computer/laptop and like to play with texturepacks, give shaders a try aswell.
I've started playing with shaders since I started my current 1.6 world, and I love'em to death, the world looks so awesome
I do like shaders. I always have them playing Vanilla, but Optifine and other mods.. I do like the vanilla shader though, even if they don't match the mod ones.
right now the shaders actually play along pretty nice with the other mods. in an earlier version of optifine for 1.6 there was some incompatibility with shaders, but a shaders developer had released a fix that you could use and it solved the problems.
However Optifine and ChickenChunks don't like each other, and will constantly crash you. Since chunkloading is more important than shiny to me, optifine is going to be the one not included.right now the shaders actually play along pretty nice with the other mods. in an earlier version of optifine for 1.6 there was some incompatibility with shaders, but a shaders developer had released a fix that you could use and it solved the problems.
I think ChickenChunks is pretty unstable in lastest 1.5/1.6 Branch, I recommend Immibis' Dimensional Anchor instead.However Optifine and ChickenChunks don't like each other, and will constantly crash you.

As long as you don't have Optifine, ChickenChunks is VERY stable. It's Dimensional Anchor which is unstable, not to mention I have an innate objection to passive draw of enderpearls to continue chunkloading.I think ChickenChunks is pretty unstable in lastest 1.5/1.6 Branch, I recommend Immibis' Dimensional Anchor instead.
Dimensional Anchor doesn't use Ender Pearls, that is the World Anchor from Railcraft.As long as you don't have Optifine, ChickenChunks is VERY stable. It's Dimensional Anchor which is unstable, not to mention I have an innate objection to passive draw of enderpearls to continue chunkloading.
