My base Build

 

I picked an area close to resources and a built an underground base hidden under a hill. Stairs down to level 20 using red cobblestone stairs.

Here are a few pictures (using Soartex tecture pack) of my builds so far.

Start of my machine lab.. A generator, bat box and macerator.

Enchantment Table (rescued from a dungeon).

My chests and bed. It is in the middle of the room at the moment as monsters spawn outside the walls and they prevent sleep.

Starting a farm, eventually this will be expanded and automatic using Farmcraft

Thaumcraft and Brewing area

My Coke and Furnace for Steel production (Work in progress)

Cauldron boil and bubble!!!

The coolest table in FTB Ultimate. I have created the Power Armor. Need to get resources for upgrades.

I have created a nether portal and a Twilight Forest Portal outside my base and collecting resources from those areas.

Minecraft FTB Ultimate Adventure

 

Welcome back. It has been a while and I have been busy playing various packs in Feed The Beast. On March 4, the FTB Ultimate Pack was released with over 45 mods installed so I decided to reset my world and starting playing with that new modpack. I hope to exercise as many mods over the next few weeks of adventuring.

Lets explain the setup. I have FTB Ultimate 1.01 installed on my machine with additional mods to fill it out:

• OptiFine D5 – Standard for high res pack and better FPS. Add this to jarmods.
• Damage Indicators – This mod interested me when Captain Sparklez and iPodMail showed it on their channels. It is a good idea when you meet a new enemy to assess its strength. Also racking your pets health. Added this to jarmods.
• Mo’Creatures – This is one of my favourite mods to add ambience to the world. It is handy as the creatures tend to drop useful items. I have modified the spawning of Golems as they tend to be more annoying than fun. I had to disable the integratedsoundpacks mod as it prevented the creature sounds. Though the insects can be annoying!! Added Gui-API to jar mods and rest to Mods.
• Timber! – This is for convenience mainly to cut down trees easier then in vanilla. Add this to Mods.
• Better Animations – I will eventually add this mod once I figure out how to show horn it into my specification.

The setup works and I am playing on Normal.

My goals for this adventure are as follows:

• Establish an underground base (I was inspired by the movie Red for this one).
• Build portals to the nether and Twilight forest.
• Self sustain with food and energy
• Others as I think them up

This should be fun…
