I did some improvements on my underground base in my Direwolf20 mods world. First I drained my IC2 storage devices of all their EU in preparation for dismantling them and renovating my base.
Then I dismantled all the machines and disconnected the power from my solar arrays and nuclear reactor. I also moved the wireless receiver that controlled the reactor to another area I wasn't going to be modifying.
I then moved the floors down one layer by using WorldEdit, and changed them and the walls to marble brick (a block which is part of Redpower2).
I then used that mod's support frames and frame motors to move all my chests down one level, as well as a few Forestry blocks (the Analyzer - a stationary version of the Beealyzer used in the beekeeping part of the mod), and some EE2 blocks (my collector arrays). Some of the array components did not move, so I had to rebuild them manually,
Then I moved my MFS Unit (an IC2 block which store 10,000,000 EU) into my base, hooked up a medium voltage transformer to it, then all my machines to the transformer output. I set up a second MFS Unit I had in a chest, which I dedicated for use by my teleporter only. Of course that is not yet in operation as I do not have a destination teleporter set up. Those are also IC2 blocks.
I also did some work in my Thaumatorium, replacing all my torches with purple Lumar lights (another item in Redpower2), rearranged one of my Vis conduit - infuser setups, adding an extra 2 purifiers to control Taint, and then made a Tainted crystal farm. Taint is like negative energy in Thaumcraft2 - too much of it and it cam spread like Gray Goo. Zerg creep is another way of thinking of it. Taint infects every block it comes in contact with when it spreads, and most animals, plus villagers and creepers can become Tainted as well.
Lastly I found a place on the edge of a forest for some of my bees, as they don't like swampland any more since Forestry was updated. I made a building out of marble bricks again, using white Lumar lights inside it. The celing is glass, which is OK with the bees.
i carnt seem to settle down in minecraft any more i just keep making new worlds finding diamonds then getting board of it. has anyone got any suggestions to keep me working on the same world:)
Try doing something like the city construction challenge.
I recently did a wizard style play through using a few magic oriented mods. It was going to be a let's play but my screen recorder decided not to record.

My experience is that it's very boring in the beginning, I've only played two worlds in two years. Maybe if you invest some time and build a good base with farms and stuff it will be fun.

I find to be the opposite. xD I will start fresh, then once I'm good and settled; I want to start over. It seems so exciting to me. Well... used to be. Now days you regen health and can find food while pooping. So it's not as exciting as it used to be.. :/
Man this is an epic thread! I'll try and post some of the work I've been doing on my tekkit SMP server's first city. I'm just finishing up laying out all the streets and glowstone lamps.
I started a nomad survival adventure and I am keeping a photo album-diary of the journey. Images at http://rickclark.imgur.com/. I post an image when I find something interesting. There are a hand-full up now of some of the sights and more will follow.
I put the finishing touches on my house, and I installed several mods. Here's my house (sandstone checkering idea is from ChimneySwift11's Minecraft Files series on Youtube).
I started work on a boardwalk into the jungle mountains. I still need to add supports. It should look pretty cool when it's done.
I also made a lighthouse because I could. I keep my pet turtles in it.
So long as I'm posting photos, here's a shot of the entire property.

Trying to do the walls.
Oh, and if you’re wondering how I survived before I build that home, here is your answer—
Blocked-off entrance:
Open entrance:
Got sum sexah doorzz!!:

Me too! I thought it was pointless to post my work since no one recognizes it. At least you saw it I suppose?
Happy crafting!

Here's a photo update of my survival world since I last showed a while ago.
Giant flame beacon tower added to the top of my base.
Decorative area in front of main entrance
Beginnings of a minecart station
Minecart track extending southwards about 450m to the stronghold. My plans are to extend it to the NPC village from there to procure NPCs for my base.
They took 40 blocks. That’s as many as four tens. And that’s horrible.
Your album-diary is really entertaining.
