Can someone explain to me why any of these outcomes are not insanely awesome?

We use Minetweaker to resolve recipe conflicts when mod authors do not (or refuse to) resolve them themselves. There are VERY few cases where we don't use it that way.

We use MineTweaker and a custom opensource mod called RRUtils for recipe and item removal and revision. NEI is of course essential! We use NEI dumps and the unix diff tool (or visualizers thereof using git, the Intellij git support does a good job with NEI dumps. When I do pack work, I make...

It's not Greenpeace that is your omnipresent boogeyman. Most folks are plenty scared of science even if you don't give them firebrands.

I guess I gotta do it in my series. Honestly to me the fun is in finding novel builds. Double fun if no one else has done it. Yeah, automation for automation's sake is actually sorta boring. I like stuff like WayofTime's mining spells in Blood Magic because I still get to walk around mining...

Real Ultimate Power comes from turning hungry thaumcraft nodes into RF. And I mean, congratulations. You sunk time and energy into a numerical infinity slightly greater than your previous numerical infinity. While this can be fun, it seems weird to put this machismo around it. "Yeah! You...

"Organic" food is another great example of the GMO/Nuclear effect, in that "organic" fertilizers are simply unrefined variants of existing industrial fertilizers. The net result is a higher impact to the environment because the actual problem is the quantity of food being grown, not the process...

In the case of "clean" we mean "relative to every other energy positive process we are aware of." And in this specific case, "It mimics the process by which our own biology was given material to form." Hell, the ideal process's output is Helium, something the world is critically short on and...

Actually energy positive with modern physics and engineering: empty box. Maybe someday. Open research. The irony of America's effective ban on new, modern nuclear power plants is that it makes everyone less safe. Modern nuclear power plants are safer, physically cannot go critical w/out the...

I'll own this. It's weird not to include this.

The way we look at it is more about exploring the mod space. We can make mistakes and take chances in RR. You will see that with the integration of ICBM and Resonant Induction, it makes the pack a bit weird but it's definitely neat to try. YCP has to be more stable. The audience is just not as...

I did qualify it with the magic bit.

While I appreciate that you find my stance on IC2 frustrating, I really wish you wouldn't resort to name calling. This is far from propaganda. Were it propaganda, I'd bring in other social issues. I have and will not in this thread. And I assume you weren't calling the Witchery stuff...

The biggest weakness of Dire's pack is that it has IC2. It doesn't fit with the rest of the pack at all, and is mostly there because Dire's always had IC2. By the way, Witchery is every bit a classic now. It's a staple magic mod, comparable direcly to Thaumcraft in terms of size and...

*coughing and clearing his throat in a very fake fashion until he passes out* Fun & relatively new fact btw. Check it out, ATLauncher now reports how many players a pack has at this very instant (assuming those players are not offline, of course). http://www.atlauncher.com/packs/public/
