Resonant Rise Lite, with things we want added is sounds good to me.  FTB Infinity is what I play on my single player world though and is pretty excellent as well.  Personally my big picks for mods would be (obvious ones like AE, IC2, BC) then Thaumcraft, mystcraft (if we think the server can handle extra worlds?) and tinkers construct.  Otherwise I'm not picky.... oh wait and EnderIO

PTW. Might join in once you guys get the modpack settled .

[frostshotgg]

Posting to watch. I'll probably join once you reset.

With that said, if you're adding mods and don't already have it, I very highly recommend Iguana Tweaks add-on for TCon. It makes the early game significantly harder to get started on, but it makes Tcon tools a lot more awesome. Also whatever mod it is that adds the gravestones is a must. Losing your stuff because you were a few seconds too slow to run back to where it dropped sucks.

My big picks for mods would probably be AE, TE, BC, tinkers construct, then botania and blood magic. Rotarycraft & EnderIO are also pretty cool. That one that did gravestones was nice, and the thing that added the saturation overlay was nifty.

[kilakan]

Oh and the thaumcraft ad-ons are always nice as well (thaumic tinkerer and the like, pretty sure resonant rise supports having all of them)

[MagmaMcFry]

Yep, that's likely what I'll end up doing anyway, but in this case I can't guarantee that the server will be up by Sunday.

Resonant Rise full is incredibly bloated and has an awful huge trees mod which makes EVERY SINGLE TREE huge as shit.

Resonant Rise lite sounds neat, though.

Thankfully, mods like Big Trees are easily disabled before modpack installation, I much prefer the ATLauncher's style over FTB, and starting with Lite and working our way up helps cut down on the bloat.

Speaking of bloat, if we were to pick/make a pack, I would highly suggest taking a scalpel to it. I know, I know, kitchen sink packs are meant to have everything and the kitchen sink in them, but do we /really/ need a pack to have Mekanism, Thermal Expansion, EnderIO, and IC2? Each overlapping mod like that we cut down is less weight on the server, or more space for a mod that does something different or interesting.

[kilakan]

Eh I kinda like being able to have different solutions to the same problem (BC quarry or Ender-quarry for example).

All in all, from what i've seen of it though I think FTB infinity might be the best pick if we don't want to do a massive custom mod-list.

[TwilightWalker]

Pretty sure we don't want a massive custom mod-list. Pretty sure we don't want a massive anything actually, as we need to keep server resources in mind, unless people want to throw money at McFry to help him with costs for a more robust server.

[Skyrunner]

At this rate it'd be easier to make a custom modpack

Trust me, it's not

One thing I've found with custom modpacks is performance tends to suffer. Another thing is setting configs to not make the world ugly and unify ores so you don't end up with 3-4 types of copper takes a lot of time. I've been making a modpack but I halted it because performance issues...

Twi: EnderIO is usually put in for conduits, not the machines, so I think it's treated a bit specially.

How about a modified Ethos modpack? It has a ton of novel mods in it, plus most of the big mods like TC IC2 TiC Enderio TE/TF Buildcraft ae2... the only missing mods is Big Reactors (which might be fun to try handling huge energy demands wtwithout), Ender Storage, and most noticeably Chickenchunks.

DW20 also seems like a good candidate. If we're open to modpack modding, simply adding the mods people want but not in it (witchery, rotarycraft) may work!

Btw the mod that makes gravestones is probably OpenBlocks. I think that one is in all the modpacks.

[Meta]

Dammit, we're being nitpicky, nearly obnoxious. 

Magma, just use a modpack you want to play with, put it on the server, and I'll see you there Sunday.

[Skyrunner]

Honestly it's all up to McFry. We are just talking about what we would want, and the final decision is up to him

Talking is fun.

[Jiokuy]

Heh, I wanted to put my vote in for any mod-pack that includes Chisel. Also, It's likely I will be picking up a new project when the server resets. I've almost finished designing the walls.

[TwilightWalker]

I don't think there are any mod packs that don't include Chisel these days, not after how amazing it's become for decoration. ZTones is nice too, with some good looking modern/futuristic blocks.

Has anyone looked into Compact Machines? Looks pretty interesting for reducing the size of..well, lots of things.

[kilakan]

Yeah when it comes down to it I'll play whatever's on the server   (provided my comp can run it, I was on the edge with our last pack) but otherwise should be fun.
