So promised land spawns pixies with no limit, making a lag-tastic time of things. First, how can I turn pixies off in the promised land? and second, is it going to be fixed or has been fixed in update? I have a feeling Kal will answer this lol -DEL

I am needing help with starting in the Big Dig modpack. I'm not exactly a noob when it comes to these technical modpacks, I've played a good deal of Tekkit and other packs, but I've never really reached the high-tier section of the game. I am having trouble deciding where to start, there is so much I could do. I've done some basic mining, got a pulverizer and powered furnace from TE powered by three steam engines and an aqueous accumulator, and I'm currently working on building a small castle-like building to set-up shop in. What is the next best way I can generate power with? I don't like having to blow a ton of coal with the engines, but it seems to me that my next option (magmatic engines?) would require a bit more work to get started. I know that resource gathering isn't a problem in Big Dig, but there's just so many resources, I tend to get lost amongst the ores, engines, machines, pipes, cables, tanks, farms, etc... I also don't know what my goals should be at this point. Should I set up a charcoal factory for my engines using a MFR tree farm? Should I start working on biofuel for some biogas engines? Should I get into bees? Do I even need a quarry this early? What mod is the best choice for ore processing? When do I need to start an AE storage system? Would Magical Crops be helpful to me this early? What are the uses of Mekanism? Should I attempt to use Tinkerers Construct? Are there other mods that can help me that I don't even know about? I read on the forums about some universal solar power in Big Dig, are those a viable option? Modular Powersuits...? While I have many ideas, I can't start many of them until I am more established. I'm completely lost. There is a rather pathetic amount of information on the Big Dig wiki. I myself would try contributing to it, but I'm far too novice at the moment. Maybe I'm just too impatient. I'm basically asking for a guide to help with moving on after the initial world start-up. Thanks! P.S. I apologize for the noobish ranting, but I am in great need of somebody to point me in the right direction.
