As Dire says in his new spotlight, the issue is not so much being "OP" as such now, just that the energy usage needs to be carefully balanced, which I think is reasonable enough.

Yeah, in that case it's possible they'll add it in the near future.

In one of Direwolf's recent server play videos he basically says they want to add it to the pack but they think it's too OP at the moment.

It's not "irrational", the simple fact is that IC2 is old by now and people who've been going through the same motions for months and months just want to try something new. The IC2 devs haven't added anything fresh and so it makes sense to turn to other mods like TE that are being expanded with...

A full stack of tin and copper isn't that much IMO (32 ore blocks each + processing). You need way more than a full stack of copper for even a very basic nuclear breeder, for instance.

My latest save is working perfectly on v5 for me (so far, anyway). Looking good.

On the thread on the minecraft forums KingLemming stated that it was because it would seem like iron to an inexperienced explorer.

To answer the original question: put copper ore in an IC2 macerator and cook the resulting dust. But yeah I don't know why you would need to.

With regards to fighting blazes: I like flying round with a jetpack and just hitting them with a sword, works like a charm. :p (Same with ghasts!)

Is there any way to read the exact amount of energy in a redstone energy cell (e.g. to display on a monitor)? I'm guessing not, but I wanted to check.

As Darkblock said, the liquid is called Coolant and it can indeed be generated from the Liquid Transposer -- this can be confirmed easily by searching for it in NEI. (Edit: Should clarify -- you can search for Coolant in NEI to confirm that it's called that, and you can see that it's made in...

Do you guys want TE to be an IC2 clone? :p

No. Edit: Ninja'd

Apologies if this has already been discussed, but does anyone have some good tips on starting out in SSP? (I'm using the Direwolf20 pack, but I've been trying the others as well.) For some reason I haven't been satisfied with my past few worlds and I've been starting over on new ones. What do...

I don't see any problem with the course Slowpoke took, which seems very reasonable to me. He is saying that Mojang can choose to call out any copyright infringement if they want to -- if they don't, then it's effectively status quo anyway. Everyone should be happy.
