I have yet to give this a go, but was curious- how frequent would you say the Better Dungeons dungeons are, Forsaken? They seem to make for neat adventurers... but are so gaudy. 

You can adjust the frequency of them, and not all of them are quite so obvious. By default I really don't see many. So far I've spotted 3 while playing. The castle, the big spire, and the boat in the distance.

I was finding them all over the place so I lowered the spawn chance (also don't go on peaceful anywhere near a dungeon because the dungeon mobs do not respawn )

As a problem with the mod pack, the vis valves are appreaing and functioning ingame as those things that pump taint away.

I hate to be "that guy", but could I have an explanation for this? About three different Thaumcraft items are showing up as "tcbafragile" as the name (or something along those lines), and though they have different inventory icons, they all appear ingame as the taint smoker things.

Probably an issue with the smoking chimney mod. Its aesthetic only anyway, try removing that from your mods folder and see if they work normally. As I said, it's a beta release. Anything this complex is bound to have bugs.

Is there a mechanism to convert bluetricity into eu, or the other way around in this mod pack, i find myself using elements of both atm.

there is in thaumcraft i suppose a strange *thingy* which works.
the *thingy* i believe has already been shown once in the adventure, and I'm calling it *thingy* because I too cannot recall its name.

[Peewee]

Nope, that just converts vis to any (or all?) of the energy types, it doesn't accept electricity from any mods.

Yep, that fixed it. Thanks!

You have got me into mine craft I bought it around the time beds came played for a while then quit it didn't click so you are getting me into modding and this game thank You

[andy_t_roo]

I like this modpack, it's got lots of options and things to do, although i find that i end up using EE, because the collectors are just so powerful for creating absolutely anything. (i've a cobblestone farm feeding an energy condenser, which is creating larva-filled buckets, which are being sent to run a geothermal (IC2) power plant and returned. The geotherm is running mass-fab, and some recyclers. The recyclers are also running off about 1/8 of the cobblestone factory output, and are feeding mass-fab.


all up, mass fab is worth it, as the geotherm plant is about 1:300 emc to eu, while mass fab is about 100:1 (including energy to run the recyclers)
--
anyway, a couple of points i've noticed:

the "m" key (used in build craft to change the mode of the electric wrench from low energy to loss-less) conflicts with the minimap menu setting
the "r" key in the crafting window triggers NFI recipes, and an inventory sort (meaning you don't get the recipe for the item you had your mouse over)


Every once in a while i get a corrupted texture, just 1 at a time, and it persists until i walk away and return (then a different texture corrupts sometimes).

Just letting you all know I'm still around but been very busy at work, no time to play.

I'm glad you're enjoying it! Minecraft by itself is a fairly boring game, but with a couple mods it can be incredibly fun.

Noted, I'll see about changing the key assignments. Not sure why the textures are messing up on you but I will look into it.

[Peewee]

Corrupt textures are almost always due to optifine in my experience. Try updating to A11 and it should happen less.

Yeah I've had a lot of issues finding vanilla mobs due to the mo' creatures spawning. Squid do still spawn, but its a lot rarer because there are a lot of new water mobs. You could change the frequency of some of the water mobs, or just disable mo creatures.

[Peewee]

Or you could just find a shoreline/river and follow it in a boat. They aren't THAT hard to find.
