    Banning XYCraft tanks would be doable, but difficult logistically. I currently have three such tanks (two of them with contents at the moment), and while I'm happy to replace them with railcraft tanks, one of them is my lava which I'd need to supply the energy to build the replacement tanks...

    In your next Direwolf20 build, will you bother with IC2?

    I'm still wading through the thread - but thus far the vast majority of the posts are on topic with the OP, as is mine - so it's all good as far as I'm concerned.

    In your next Direwolf20 build, will you bother with IC2?

    I will always have time for IC2 ...because I like it. Now that the alternatives have matured I make use of them also, so I use IC2 less - but it still adds to my enjoyment of the game. That's why I don't use forestry - because it detracts from my enjoyment of the game. The arboretum, for...

    You have a choice to make. If you had to pick just one mod...

    Actually I'm going to say Rei's Minimap seriously. It's the mod that I would most miss which means it's the mod I'd have to pick. However - if you're talking tech-mod ... there can be only one choice in my mind: ComputerCraft. It might not be as efficient at doing everything as the other tech...

    GregTech Debate Thread

    I absolutely agree. Someone who isn't up to speed on IC2 and what GregTech does to it is going to be completely lost. Imagine the confusion when a newb does a search for a machine on the IC2 wiki and is shown the default recipe ... only to find he/she can't make it that way. What I think...

    Redalloy wire alternative

    Guys - I know how to go up (and down) using vanilla redstone mechanics. I started playing Minecraft just after the release of 1.3.2 so I've never actually used anything but vanilla redstone. When I created this thread it was in the mistaken impression that there must be more than just RP2 and...

    Redalloy wire alternative

    Thanks for the idea Kyre - I've just had a play in a test world (never having toyed with BC pipe wires and gates before) and they do let me achieve what I want. But - it's not really a viable solution for my problem ... Building an assembly table and laser for the sake of running a redstone...

    Redalloy wire alternative

    Let me preface this so that I don't get jumped by Eloraam's defenders: This post is in no way a criticism of Eloraam, or a comment on the availability of RedPower2. Ok - having gotten that out of the way ... I'm building something and I'm stuck. The long and the short of it is that I need a...
