Lightning rods have literally *nothing* to do with lightning. They should be called "storm-based random EU generators". They randomly generate EU when it's raining.

Not really. Vis is a finite resource, except for crystal clusters which generate very small amounts (1 vis every 5 minutes).

I can't imagine anyone is as sociopathic as you are portraying yourself.

The problem with potato armor is that it doesn't fare well against a ricer.

It's a bit premature to be crying about how the sky is falling. As it stands right now, 32 mods still need updating.

Because it's a sandbox game. Would you say Lego bricks are overpowered? Could you even imagine a Lego brick that could be considered overpowered?

Haskell programmer detected. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

A lot of people (myself included) don't like exceptions. I'll quote Go's designers on this: GCC's coding standards disallow exceptions. The Linux kernel is in C, so exceptions don't exist. LibPNG uses setjmp for critical error handling. The current Linux kernel has over 100,000 instances...

One of these days GT is going to modify the recipes of a mod, and the mod maker is going to fight back with reflection to modify GT's altered recipes, thus setting off an arms race that will destroy FTB and lag us to hell (GT's reflection code is already laggy as shit). This is one of the...

"Underused" simply because it's new to the ultimate pack, the Universal Charger from Power Converters is amazing. It works as both a charge pad (stand on it and recharge your armor and tools), and a remote recharging system. Put an ender chest next to it, and it will automatically recharge...

It doesn't cheat.. people cheat. In fact it doesn't do anything, it's just a framework, it's up to the bot programmer to actually make it do stuff, and programmer *could* have it only react to what it can "see", although the math for a raycaster might be beyond most people. And you can build...

A couple of years ago I experimented with building a Bot API for minecraft. It would connect to a server just like any other player, and have the same abilities as any other player, except it would be fully program controlled. The reason I didn't get past the proof-of-concept was because it...

They are using 1.15.4, which has the fix.

There's a lot of MFR stuff I'm looking forward to playing around with. So far I only have one complaint, conveyors are a cool idea in theory, but they act too much like water, negating fall damage for mobs for example.

This has been patched for nearly a month now. From the TF changelog: "While recrafting at the the uncrafting table, check to see if each enchantment can be applied to the resulting item before transferring it".
