Ah, right. Forgot that one. I'm kind of pedantic on wasting oil so I ignored that recipe even existed :D Just 30%? I'd love to see the math on it. Admittedly, last time I checked the math on it, GT was still 4.something but IIRC, numbers were almost at 100% and there were only two types of fuel...

By "glyceryl" you mean carbon? All this only means you'll be a bit less efficient in terms of EU production. I haven't calculated it but using MV machinery to make it, while increasing EU usage 2x, won't really make a significant dent in the amount of nitrodiesel your production line will make...

Problem is many people are too stupid to realize if/when they harm themselves or others around them.

So far it sort-of kind-of is :) It would be significantly better if modders would bother to add basic config options for their stuff. Power use and alternative recipes would be the most basic way. Adding things like BC with single-use and limited-depth quarries is even better. I personally...

the quote I had in, well, quotes was made here: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/doing-some-research-in-the-newest-ic2_exp-build-138.30815/page-9#post-431319 and indeed it was by you :) Only thing that "disturbed" me about what you said was that you never mentioned nerfing others in some...

Sorry, it was said by a different user and I messed up. What was said was "I like the mining laser it is pretty cool. But maybe it is time it got buffed a bit because for what it does it cost an awful lot of material and energy." Why not instead balance the other tools to be in-line with the...

It would help if you'd mention that the amount of cores and clock speed should NEVER be directly compared between CPUs (and GPUs) from different manufacturers or generations. The amount of vram on graphics card will be significantly more important as soon as games targeted for next generation...

Technically any amount of alcohol has negative effects on all things living. Only question is how long it takes to recover and if it has permanent effects. But but wine! Yeah, (some) wine does have some good stuff in it but that's in addition to the bad. Answering the original question, man...

Eu reader probably won't be fixed before the e-net reworking is finalized Perhaps so but didn't you just say "I don't use IC2 tools as others are far more powerful"? I've seen the disturbing trend amongst both some modders and players that they choose mods according to how OP they are. It's...

So what you say is more OP = more fun? The machines that are in non-experimental IC2 have been made to work in experimental and are working pretty much the same way they used to. They added a TON of new features, though not all of it is finalized yet. If you hinted at the plates instead of...

Plate changes were made ages before greg joined the team. Greg ONLY works on bugs and API, all the feature developing is by other people. Greg has stated several times he has no need to rework the IC2 balance, he has his own mod for doing that.

That's mostly on optifine part. Its author forbidding the mod to be included in any pack, including FTB, doesn't help much.

You are missing the point that it has never been about the fact that his recipe was changed. It has always been about the way HOW it was done

That assumes that the modder does the modding for the community and doesn't have valid reasons behind his/her decisions. The ones about tin buckets and bronze are very much valid within context of GT and it's tech progress. Also, in case you didn't know, there are mods out there that do enable...

Should modders cave to all wishes users might have?
