Hokay, so several things on specifically FTB: Beyond somewhat either frustrate me, or intrigue me. So here's my incomprehensible and unfinishable list of suggestions or directions, w/e you want to call it. *Meep* I would like to see in-game.

• Automatic /sleep/ system for AFK players.
  Too many times have I gone to sleep in-game and there have been donaters online, just idling while at work, school, browsing or tugging (of war with children, of course). This is absoulutey infuriating. Oh hey, the whole system of sleep vote! Great! It only works when everyone in the server isn't AFK or is always around a bed (or sleeping bag)
  
  Solar power is the most efficient and best early-game (ish) to late game form of power. So obviously solar power requires sunlight. However, when over half of the in-game players are donaters AFK, they obviously aren't going to be using a Minecraft Bed anytime soon. Many times I've left the server (as a regular member) because of this. Why bother waiting around in a game when I could be doing literally anything else? You might question this and say things like "Get a furnace generator" or "store your power" etc...how about "No." Capacitor banks aren't people's first priorities when playing these modpacks, and they shouldn't be #1 priority because people have the ability to walk away from their game without contributing to daytime voting. (Note: I don't have a problem with people going afk, just how they don't/can't contribute to the sleepvote)
  
  My recommendation: CraftAU FTB servers run on scripts...why not make a script additional to the AFK system? If a donater is issued an automatic (not /afk) AFK status, set an 'AFK_Sleep' variable to '1'. Then run a script that checks in-game time (ticks). On nighttime (whatever sleep allows in-game) set any player with variable '1' to "Sleep". On un-AFK, set variable back to 'zero (0)'.
  
  Heck, even skip the stupid bed thing altogether, and just add "/vote day" to the server. Could be easier to set up local variables for that then. (Skript User here)

• Auctions
  Similar to MC Vanilla servers, allow people to auction of items for Diamonds, Golds or whatever the most uncommon resources in FTB are. (un-dupeable) [This one needs more work yet]

Want something added to this list? Post it below, and I'll format and add it.

 

1. I can't see what the problem is here, I survived on burning toast in cul gens when my solar wasn't working at night time early game. This said I'm NOT at the late game where I understand the only and best power is solar based. However I plan to have a drac power ball to store the power, and twice the solar that I need to use so I survive the night.

2. I personally wouldn't use one but that's just how I play. Doesn't forestry have an inbuilt trading system? Basically offer an item for sale name what you want in return and forestry manages the trade. Other options for this could be simply forum based trades.

 

Well it's not so much of a problem as it is a nuisance. I'm fairly late-game. Tier 5 and Tier 6 (about to get Tier 7&8) solar panels. I have Draconic fusion crafters set up, and 5 vibrant cap banks along with 4 t2 cap banks set up for 'power storage'. 99.9% of the time that just drains instantly from doing anything with fusion crafting. Now I know that FTB isn't meant to be an overly easy modpack to 'master'...but that's not what I'm going on about. I find it unreasonable that normal members have to wait until day before they can do anything. Newbies don't go out at night...and sleeping is just wasted time in-game now. The other day I hopped on. There were 2 other players online. Both were AFK (did /list). One was a member. I couldn't sleep (in game obviously lol). The member got kicked just as the next day was finishing. Then another donater joined. Went AFK as soon as they joined...and then I had the same issue. Using the Drac ball on 1.10 requires the exact amount of power that I'm running into issues with. You need Drac blocks which requires; "350 million RF (fully draining a 7-block resonant capacitor bank from EIO)". Not to mention that those cap banks require recharging...which isn't instant. Even on Tier 6 solar panels.


As for Forestry's thing...I haven't a clue. Stuff like what I'm mentioning is much cleaner and simpler through chat, rather than TPing somewhere and going through another GUI for it. They're always legit and nobody can get 'scammed' of items (unless they're silly and buy 1 draconic ingot for 999 diamonds).
