I realise that, but it's just not the same. Don't worry though, new Industrial Craft has just been announced and that might reignite my interest

Hi guys, So I've been very disenchanted by modded minecraft over the last year. I really loved it and I put in so much effort to try and enjoy it again, but the new modpacks just really haven't cut it in terms of flexibility and difficulty. Nearly every player uses the same system for power and...

Ah damn, TPPI2 it is then. Cheers!

I'm assuming this server has shut down now? I can't seem to find any servers running this pack sadly.

Yeah well they claimed in a post about 3-4 weeks ago they were finally going to update it, but that might've been another lie too.................

Except there are already plenty of laid back packs to play out there. And yes, the way people are talking about getting to end game and then making useful things makes me wonder why they don't just play creative. I don't want to go on and make my argument for functionality making things far more...

Hrm, I'm not being ignorant here, I'm just looking for problems and solutions. The problem is I have neither the time nor knowledge to sort out a pack that would suit what I describe, I can only hope for Resurrection to be what I hope it will be. It's problematic just shoving a load of mods in...

The whole point of this discussion was that I, and I'm sure some others, feel that there aren't any packs that fit your description and our play style. It also it wouldn't be linear, but quite the opposite, in the sense of most players following one easier path, and we would be making that more...

Again, the argument of 'they don't have to, you don't have to, play the way you want', read Erik's post above yours, it sums up my feelings perfectly. Ah don't worry, I'm not one to turn it into a flame war for no good reason, just not a fan of being called immature when I put my opinion...

Hrm, sounds fairly elaborate, I'd love to see people use that system. It's still far more interesting than it being auto-pumped up in ridiculous quantities. I tend to avoid that track while using railcraft, I wouldn't personally include it in the theoretical pack, though it is very useful and...

And yet that would still be more difficult to actually abuse and far more interesting too, so imo that's not bad.

Do minecarts go through portals now? I haven't experimented with that since Mindcrack. I can't think of any other things that could carry lava through a portal...

We're entitled to argue our opinions, it was interesting to argue against NJ as I could see what issues people might have with such a modpack. I realise minecraft is not meant to be played in a specific way, but a lot of people do play it in a specific way that follows the quickest way to get to...

I'm sorry, was I complaining? No, plus it wouldn't actually be forcing them. For example, I still permitted the use of solar power, but discouraged people from using it via expense. Lava power would also still work, but in the way I describe it would be discouraged due to having to have the...

I believe a pack that has no shortcuts for transportation of things would be really interesting. Rather than just making tesseracts here and there to transport power and items, or ender chests and tanks, it'd be cool to have a pack where pipes and carts must be used. This would also rule out...
