I just reset my Morepower II test server, and made a new Stargate themed setup, Disabled Ink Mixers and binders but admined in some Worlds and installed stargates on them with the SGC gate being powered.

I am looking for people to test the pack and suggest tweaks etc to make it better,.

The pack has

Tinkers construct + Iguana Tweaks
Mekanism
MFR
AE2
Buildcraft
IC2
Advanced Generators
Pneumaticraft
Ultratech
Ender IO
Thermal Expansion
Extra utilities
Tinkers Mechworks (Drawbridges)
voxelmaps (as liteloadermod so sometimes doesnt work)
Galacticraft + Mars/Asteroids

its on Technic and the server ip is in the pack.
(If anyone wants the server setup mail me and I will pack up the server for you)

Well well well. The Minecraft Modding community certainly is.. unique. While building my modpack I found that The Barrels Mod would crash the latest version of Forge. After checking the Forge crash logs and the mod's forum thread, I discovered that it was caused by a method name being changed between Forge versions (loadLanguageTable became mergeLanguageTable) and the mod developer had refused to put in the minimal effort to fix this and instead focus on updating his mod for 1.8. I figured trying to fix it myself couldn't hurt it anymore than it already was so I opened the mod JAR, found the class file that called that method, and altered the name of the method (and its prefixed length byte) in a hex editor. Works like a charm and nothing crashes now.

Are there any modpacks out there that focus on being educational? I know a lot of kids play this and I've thought about doing something that focuses on electric cabling and how to set up household lamps and sockets. It's good basic information and could help kids who later transition to trade school or whatever. With some effort it could also integrate with various industry mods but I'd focus on running neutral and phased cables with a ground through a circuit box and proper use of fuses.

I don't think anything out their right now is using anything like AC current, a grounding mechanic, or fuses. Gregtech is likely the closest with it having both voltage and amperage and mechanics the punish you for using too much or too little of either. However it is still really gamely and I am not sure it could be use to teach more than that voltage and amperage are things that can matter.

Ideally it would function as a quest package, similar to Agrarian Skies, where you spawn a scenario with a setup that has various faults or blown fuses and you have to find the faults and fix them and progressively unlock more tools and advanced missions. Voltage and amperage would be advanced concepts requiring the use of a multi-meter to identify broken connections or low current.

I was wondering what some of these other tech mod packs are all about. Is there anything else novel in there that isn't easier in other packs? I keep wandering into its peculiar plants in the overworld and haven't figured out what the whole deal is about. I also kind of wondered about stuff like Hydraulicraft.

Has anybody tried using Progressive Automation? At first, I was really liking the miner because it would get me resources while I wasn't actively mining. However, it looks like there isn't a range upgrade other than the +4 upgrade that costs a nether star. Seriously, come on. I should request a +1 range upgrade, but they'll probably make it involve something pissy like a diamond. I also would have been quite happy if I could make the thing dig cobblestone too. I am in short supply for cobblestone in the early game when I'm not playing to mine.

Is there an automated miner in a 1.7.10 pack that doesn't involve diamonds nor nether resources? I kind of wish somebody had something like RotaryCraft's sonic borer, but without the RotaryCraft. I always thought the placement of that machine in the device chain was perfect. It required some prior technical resources and some advancement, but not to the point where the machine was not really useful. It also required some tact in using it well, which was an interesting challenge.

There is a +1 range upgrade, there is one for each tier (wood, stone, iron...) and you can configure how much of an upgrade it give you (in the config) and they stack.

I think the first one is just redstone dust surrounded by 8 logs.

Big Reactors question, sort of: I know it is possible to write a Computer Craft program (or something) which is capable of regulating the fuel rods so that your reactor cranks out enough power to keep you net positive, without going full throttle all the time. The question is, is there any benefit or point to doing so over the much simpler "turn on the reactor at full power when juice gets below X, turn it back off when it gets above Y"?

You can do this with 2 rednet ports. Set the control rod % to the % full of the buffer.

I had thought those were for something else. Yeap, that boosted my range. One could set up a respectable operation with those things!

I think Forge only recently came out for 1.8, so I doubt that many mods have moved over yet. 1.7.10 modpacks are relatively recent.

Lag as in block lag (as in weird latency issues where there is a delay between what you do and when it actually happens?) Or lag as in general performance issues?

If it's terrain generation lag, make sure you're using Forge build 1272 or above, as that's when an important performance fix for world gen went in.

Lag as in single digit fps pretty much constantly, slightly better if I wait a minute or so on world load, but pretty soon back to unplayable poo poo as soon as I move at all. If it is the terrain gen bug, how do I install a different forge version into a ftb or technic pack? Just copy everything over into a multimc instance?

Edit: Testing in a multimc instance, with Forge v. 1300 for 1.7.10, I'm still getting 1-2 fps with 44 mods. I thought it might be because Optifine was included in the pack, disabled it, no improvement. That's also with all graphics settings set to fast and 2 chunk render distance.

On FTB you can edit the pack.json in the modpack directory to point towards a different version of forge. You will then have to put that version of forge into the directory it will be looking for. I tried doing that with Impact Flux and it just crashed on launch, but it works in FTB Resurrection. There seems to be some other weird lag in Resurrection though. I blame greg.

The most "SkyDen-like" is probably Agrarian Skies, but be aware there's no actual NPCs, it does quests via the Hardcore Questing Mode book, but it's a decent pack. Just, well a bit grindy. If you try it, though, turn on KeepInventory as soon as you start.

Oh, how it would be nice to be able to mod, as an Idea Guy i have Many Foolproof Brilliant Mod Ideas, and one of them was a mechanic that could be themed around item loss and have a progression between losing all items and keeping all items that would follow the players game's progress, with a pretty good solution at the diamond stage and a final solution post fortress. Maybe when I finish exploring the current mods I'm playing with, or much later when there's a 1.8 scene.

Charms have three levels, and most of the ones you'll find will be level 1; you need level 3s to guarantee keeping your entire inventory. Each level crafts to the next at 4:1, so you'll need 16 level 1 charms to make a level 3.

No. I had intended to make Sea Den part 2, but between all the technical issues Minecraft's giving me now, the current state of modding, and just real life things bearing down on me, I haven't really been able to work on it at all. Maybe someday, but it is not this day.
