    Why don't people like IC2 anymore?

    I wasn't replying to you? Anyway a cross between magic farm, forgecraft3, with gregtech added is what I'm looking for. Doesn't sound impossible to me at all. Isn't this the ic2 thread? Are you following me or something?

    Why don't people like IC2 anymore?

    Forestry in the configs says that it defaults to easy in the 1.5 pack i was playing anyway. Im not sure on te3 honestly, the steel recipes might be ok, but it still doesnt draw enough power. The steel and diamonds are Thermal expansions own config options. I am trying to make TE3 items...

    Why don't people like IC2 anymore?

    Havent used it in months, but now that ive found out that it ruins the fun, I would disable it but i dont see myself using IC2 without gregtech. With gregtech its ok, then its an end game armor, something to shoot for. Creative mode style is ok at times, but not something I want 3 days into...

    Why don't people like IC2 anymore?

    Love it the first time I had cables fry. Made it challenging. I am probably removing TE3 from any pack I play from now on, and am desperately waiting for IC2 to get past experimental phase and offer a stable version again. Also enjoyed a combustion engine blowing up the first time. it was...

    Is Ore processing and sorting disappearing?

    Id just heard people say 'gregtech went into Unleashed with no issues" and stuff like that. I had no idea why it would be different for different packs. Some packs have the gregtech config folder already in it, as if to make it easier to add gregtech to the pack. Not sure what you mean by 'in...

    Is Ore processing and sorting disappearing?

    Im not trying to make resource scarcity last forever... im just setting up my own challenges. It all has to do with how you phrase things, isn't it? In the very same post above, a guy posted that he made a skyscraper out of certus quartz and then said that he made another world where he wasnt...

    Is Ore processing and sorting disappearing?

    If you think quarries are the 'bigger solution' vs turtles, you haven't used the right scripts. Turtles do require the peripherals addon, but with that turtles are far better than a quarry. 4 turtles and 8 single wooden chests. Fill 4 of them with charcoal. Comparable cost to a quarry but...

    Is Ore processing and sorting disappearing?

    I thought we could all play the game how we wanted? I cant remember the mod dev, I think it was denoflions who told me on reddit that he wuold play a world for a few months, but once he got to 2 boilers... he quit the world. When I asked why, he said "because there no need to make more power...

    Is Ore processing and sorting disappearing?

    Im fine with 'not using' something. Im uninstalling Ender Storage for example. No tesseracts, etc. The problem is that it takes a long damn time to try and get a handle on how to balance a mod pack to how you like it. This is why, I think, you often see people say Ultimate was their...

    Is Ore processing and sorting disappearing?

    Well one guy made an MPS suit (DW20 1.5) and some TE stuff. Charges his suit, processes ores. He made a multifarm with trees and ONLY made biofuel from the saplings, and put the logs into DSUs. When I said he could make charcoal from the logs and make a boiler he said 'for what?' I can tell...

    Is Ore processing and sorting disappearing?

    Just curious, I have 3 new players that are on my server. 8 weeks into their experience, none of them have automated ore processing. While it's not necessary and I wouldn't dictate how people have fun, it seemed to me that figuring out how to process the stuff you had coming in and automate...

    Good FPS?

    Is there a reason FPS would drop in newer packs? When I played Ultimate, I would get 18-20 FPS on my laptop (no video card) until i started making a base. It would drop as I added more stuff, and id eventually only be able to play on my desktop. Now my laptop can't even get more thn 5-6 FPS in...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    It will likely release new packs, but not monthly. 1.5 packs were released and were current for months until the latest came out. Also sometimes they keep the name, but the pack changes anyway, like DW20 packs.

    Objective based mods.

    Was reading this thread from Mikemoo on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/feedthebeast/comments/1uasaa/objective_based_mods/ He says: This kind of goes against what others often say, but I agree with mikemoo here. KingLemming once told me 'play the game, dont let the game play you' in...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    3 electrical engines is equal to one combustion engine running fuel, so it should not take 3 seconds to move one block IF the batbox still has energy. Three engines will use 18 eu/t, but your solar panels are only putting out 16 during the day... your batbox should not ever have any energy in...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Would it be possible to add Gregtech to DW20 1.5 after the world has been played awhile? Or would that create problems due to ore gen? Do you have to only add a pack that adds world gen when starting a world?

    Do you set yourself any challenges?

    Im actually looking at unhinged now and trying to figure out how to increase the Harvester power usage, so it is less efficient than a multifarm. But even then, I cant figure out which difficulty setting Forestry is set at. Not familiar enough the forestry to try and figure out how to balance...

    Do you set yourself any challenges?

    Im looking at upgrading to 1.6 and setting challenges by: removing MFR Installing gregtech Installing iguana tweaks for Tinkers Construct to nerf it a bit. Possibly use iguana tweaks, but maybe not all of them. 1 coal and stick = 1 torch, etc. but maybe not the 5 times harder stone. Setting...

    Anyone know what the config options are for Tinkers Construct in the 'Ultra hardcore changes"? I almost think it is some kind of joke. "Change crafting recipes" - what does that mean? Configs without comments to tell you what the changes mean aren't really very helpful. :/
