I'm going to find a good open biome, probably plains or meadows, and build a city. Eight quadrants surrounding a center hill with my house on it. Four districts will be farms, rest will include npc village, market place, shared resource area, and a nuclear reactor. My house will be split into small houses with one central building for living, other small houses for tc3, resources, etc. Can't wait to use rp2 lights, windmills, and sortron. Also might use factorization for ore processing with3x yield. Awesome. Good luck to all you builders!

I kind of want to make a flyable frames based Legion of Doom head quarter's from the old super-friends cartoon. I would have to put it in a swamp biome or at least fly it to one. I have this image in my head of controlling the direction it moves by standing on pressure plates to move forward or backward and levers to turn left and right. That might be a second project after getting a static base up and running to get me all the materials. I really wish frames contraptions could travel through mystcraft portals, I was sad when my test case failed. I am really looking forward to getting started.
While they can't rotate, you can still make them go in the six different directions, which I think was what he was getting at.
Thanks for the info, I knew they could go in the different directions but had not considered that I might not be able to rotate the frames machine. I am still kinda newbish with the frames, I loved what I have seen so far. Hmm, actually if my memory isn't totally awful the Legion of Doom is pretty symmetrical and I think it looks the same on all sides, so rotating might not be that important after all via pure luck. It actually makes my driving system a bit easier...stand on the plate in the direction you want to go and then rig something for up and down. I still need to learn quite a bit, especially about the practical limitations. It should be a fun process.

Too Much Free Time
I'll probably live in an eternal night age.
Tiny biomes- but hit each symbol 5-10 times and you can get a fairly good mix of biome sizes

I'll probably first have to read up on various mods (Red Power being the first). My usual start though: gather wood and stone, get a bed, explore till I find a nice place. While exploring I'll raid villages for equipment and food.
Depending on what the new mods add I might start differently, though I'll probably try a more BC oriented start this time (I've done a few IC2 starts so far and even though I like them it doesn't help you a lot to get started with BC/Forestry/RailCraft, which is what I dislike about an IC2 start).

Welp, restarted with my manual upgrade. Dropped IC2 since I barely used it last world. Man, is it hard going from a base where I had just finished by biogas -> biofuel -> liquid boiler setup with a complete logistics pipes network to 2 TE steams feeding a pulverizer and powered furnace which need to be manually fed by hoppers. At least they dump out to a communal chest. I've only found 1 diamond so far, so I can't even get started with RP2 (takes 2) other than my first run of red alloy wire, WOOT!. It goes from a lever near my machines back to my steam engines so I can turn them on and off without walking the 5 extra blocks. But it is run along the wall. \o/
I'mma gonna roll with whatever it gives me. I can get started, no matter what kind of terrain the game throws at me. Having said that, I surely wouldn't mind a desert biome, particularly not if it had a village with a beekeper. Failing that, a Swamp biome would net me the rubber trees easier, plus the slimes which can otherwise be annoying to find.
The only biomes I really hate starting in are the snowy biomes, mostly due to how they turn water into ice. It means I need to move my initial farming indoors, which generally means I need to make a bucket first, rather than just building it around a convenient pond/river/lake/shore.
