    Salt - ideas for uses of

    I believe he was referring more to the fact that salt is hygroscopic, and will draw in moisture from the air. (though there are better substances for that purpose)

    You can use minetweaker to add and remove ores that the laser will give.

    I heard you liked Iridium

    Erm... yeah... I think we kinda lost sight of the tracks there...

    I heard you liked Iridium

    We (us individuals) don't know the extent of what science knows. I'd say we (humanity) know more than you think we do.

    I heard you liked Iridium

    True to some extent, though there are quite a bit of characteristics that we have been able to verify trough observation or simulation and comparison, though others are more like extrapolations based on what we know of how physics works. Most of the contradictory statements however seem to be...

    Except if you read the article you'll find he named it Alumium, not AlumiNum This is wrong (or at least to the best of my knowledge, black holes are funky sometimes), actually neither has more or less potential for growth. Potential for growth has more to do with how much crap happens to be...

    Myrathi's Mod Compendium

    Ok, so I really need to get my mind out of the gutter. Let's just say I read a different word than run in that sentence.

    Gregtech & the omniwrench

    Well... tools do break after some time. I mean, look at what happened to my trusty cutters: Broken by some mere length of steel wire.

    Clearly the solution is to add a random breaking mechanic for items in your inventory, to simulate tripping.

    Gregtech & the omniwrench

    Well, even if the argument won't convince him, there is still value in voicing it, if only because others read it. More on topic, I feel like the omniwrench was made because, the subgame of remembering which wrench/hammer/screwdriver/tool to use for a particular object is not really an...

    Gregtech & the omniwrench

    You know, I'd argue that making blocks explode or change into other blocks for wanting to change its orientation or location is bad game-design. It overly punishes simple miss-clicks without adding depth in how to design/build stuff. Of course if that same thing doesn't happen with certain...

    launcher: private pack?

    Yeah, though it probably rubs people here in the wrong way, I have to agree on this statement. I find the the private pack process here somewhat convoluted, and not all that suited for small-groups trying to set up a small modded server between them. And after having looked at the technic...

    Opinions on Magic and Chemistry in Minecraft/FTB

    I kinda don't quite agree with the the way minechem goes about putting chemistry in minecraft. To me it kinda feels more like it is about nanoscience, atomic physics and such things as it feels like it is about chemistry. I am trying to work my head around making a mod that approaches chemistry...

    Epic Fail stories

    We had set up our base right next to a few chunk errors. Eventually the mob and entity count in those chunks brought our little private server careening to its death and we had to reset the world. Oops.
