Huh, the announcement didn't mention the base Minecraft version that it's built on. I assume that's still 1.7.*, right?

Oh man, yeah; Ender Quarries are end-game tech for mining. You aren't anywhere near that. Direwolf20 1.7.10 has ComputerCraft, doesn't it? Like Inaeo said: make a mining turtle. The 'tunnel' intrinsic makes branch mining super easy, even without resorting to fancy quarry programs that you...

It sounds like this is more a matter of your particular modpack making AE (much?) more expensive than it normally is. Remember that just about every recipe that uses quartz crystals can use the pure version instead, so you have a multiplier working for you if you religiously use the pure...

Yeah, you really want to have four dedicated Inscribers, each preloaded with the four functional plates in the top position, and probably an additional Inscriber that stamps the resulting printed circuits with printed silicon + redstone to produce the final processors.

I started the thread so I get to define "OP" here. ;) When I say that, I typically mean that the mod's contributions significantly undermine the progress ramp of other mods (or of the core vanilla content). In the case of ExUt, I'd say that the survivalist generator alone subverts pretty much...

Witchery, also in Infinity 1.7, buffs villages considerably. They now have professional guards; players can reassign existing villagers to guard duty; and some villages even get walled fortifications when spawned. All of this is terrific, except in deserts where it doesn't matter because they...

Oh! Well, that's directly contradicted by the in-game documentatation. :mad: Good to know. Now we're back to that whole "I've never actually killed a wither" thing....

I don't think I follow you. Division sigils are chest loot only, aren't they? How do beheadings help?

In particular, BoP as currently configured in Infinity 1.7.10 really, REALLY hates desert villages. It pretty much guarantees that such villages are nonviable. BoP places tiny cacti and quicksand within village bounds [or at least they aren't eradicated in the process of placing the village]...

Hard to make cursed earth when you haven't found any division sigils. :(

I... uh. Um. Y'see, I haven't yet killed a wither. Ever. EVER. So the wings aren't exactly in my available inventory yet....

Surely everyone knows by now that the only really important part of the Portal Gun mod is the boots, right?

Oh boo; MFR Grinders make witches drop empty bottles instead of potions. Time for ExUt spikes... :p

You can stack world interaction upgrades to go through walls....? Mother of ghod.

So, messing with Infinity 1.7.10 on a server lately after having been away from FTB for a long time, and man. Extra Utilities is so awesome, and so deliciously OP. How much of this is the combination of ExUt with other FTB mods, and how much is basically innate? First off, survivalist...
