    Isn't an MFR tree farm really just a solar panel?

    Not sure about TC4, but in TC3, Im positive Ill have an MFR farm up before you get golems researched. ;) Did golems get the ability to cut down trees? Im still on 1.5, havent used TC much, last i checked they couldnt chop trees. Golems are cheap once you get them going but again, still harder...

    Isn't an MFR tree farm really just a solar panel?

    And the steves carts farmer has durability on the tool, right? So that whole setup seems a lot more fun to me than the MFR part of it. Sending the dynamos to power a multifarm would be completely ideal for my idea of balance. IMO if something provides a lot of resources or power, it should...

    Actually the only insulting post here so far... is yours. If you feel my comment is out of line, report it to a mod. if not, stay on topic please? Thanks.

    Isn't an MFR tree farm really just a solar panel?

    Not challenging, too easy, too cheap to make for the power it provides. Who is bashing solars? It was an observation about many people in the community. Solars generally get some scorn for being infinite power. Ive heard comments like this, or similar to that, for months and months...

    Isn't an MFR tree farm really just a solar panel?

    I disagree, it is fair to to compare mods. If people want to compare, they can. Freedom, etc. We can all play how we want, right? MFR might not have been originally written with big mod packs in mind, but right now people are posting on a forum dedicated to big mod packs, and people can...

    Isn't an MFR tree farm really just a solar panel?

    Aren't those bees not part if forestry itself though? And it still means to get a multifarm to be totally maintenance free, you need to do bee AND tree breeding. IMO this is ideal. The basic farm costs a bit to set up but requires the player to add resources periodically. Then you can...

    Isn't an MFR tree farm really just a solar panel?

    It appears many people in the community have a sort of disdain for solar panels. "free energy, no maintenance" are the phrases that usually pop up. Just place the block and get free energy. Isn't a MFR tree farm really just about the same thing? I'd be curious to see which takes more...

    Is there a special tool to break metal posts from railcraft? using a pickaxe just destroys the post.

    The Term end game and resource collection.

    No automining? This was what I was going to try, removing all methods taht allow you to mine while you do other things. So a mining laser would be ok, but not a quarry or turtles.

    The Term end game and resource collection.

    I never said there was anything wrong with other playstyles. Notice though that the OP has seen 'lots' of people quitting. Those same people would pick unleashed over unhinged, but they quit, Id argue, because unleashed overloaded them on the ability to gather resources. Unhinged was not as...

    The Term end game and resource collection.

    I agree, although we have run into some issues with adjusting configs, etc. And I think it's normal. For example, when my friends and I moved to FTB and started with Ultimate, I remember one saying 'oh THEY increased the cost of DSUs'. It turned out that it is just a config option, and it can...

    The Term end game and resource collection.

    I get this, but not everyone I know wants to play minecraft, and everyone says public servers are a waste of time. If I installed say... Technic's Big Dig pack and my friends all quit, my fun is also ruined. And i think the real issue is that a lot of people don't even realize WHY they lost...

    The Term end game and resource collection.

    I disagree. It's fine to say that some players enjoy the late game and have fun making huge builds, but to say not to worry about adjusting the game for the other style of players isn't fair. The friends I originally played with all quit because when we started, they used mining lasers and...

    Is it better that mod blocks are not *too* realistic?

    I think this is really why I like the non-realistic blocks more. A super realistic item just seems out of place.

    Is it better that mod blocks are not *too* realistic?

    I was just wondering what people felt about this. I kind of like that many of the items that mods make aren't completely realistic looking, or in how they work. While it's interesting to have a mod have a power system based on real electricity, I also like that the items are not completely...

    Its some sort of bug. I started putting blocks down in the area that i felt was the most lit up, and after a few tries poof! the lights went out. I dug out all the cursed earth and found a bunch of it UNDER the floor where it should have been beyond the range of what dirt would be converted...

    In case you were interested... got rid of the enchantment table... no change in light level. Really, really weird.

    It creates light? Damn. But then why would it not do it the first few days. Also... Not easy to get to it with creepers spawning everywhere. Well, when the cursed earth covered the area.
