    Is there still a hope for redpower2?

    The thing I really miss that I have yet to see other mods copy... cool ass windmills like RP2 had. :/

    I feel like 1.4 gregtech was the best gregtech ever.

    I'm interested to hear your ideas on how to promote the mid game. Care to share them? Don't let Kinglemming hear that - he said the sttel recipes were for "masochists". I'm not familiar with the new GT do you just smelt with vanilla furnace until you get steel or are there new things to make...

    I feel like 1.4 gregtech was the best gregtech ever.

    Yes im saying either way works, except with all toher mods being different than gregtech, the other mods ruin any middle game that greg tried to create. Not all mods, many of them though. Greg requires macerators to be crafted with diamonds... people use pulverizers instead. If a group of...

    I feel like 1.4 gregtech was the best gregtech ever.

    Just saying that more efficient is not really better. It doesn't take much either, again I point to kirindaves comment: people will use the easiest option. Think of it this way. People use quarries but not ic2 miners but if they did they would get more if that middle game you talk about...

    I feel like 1.4 gregtech was the best gregtech ever.

    Efficient and useful is all subjective though don't ou think? A furnace that has a built in solar panel, smelts a stack of items per tick, and costs 4 iron to craft is more efficient than any furnace currently available. Is it a good idea to make something like this though? I felt that by...

    I feel like 1.4 gregtech was the best gregtech ever.

    I agree with most of what you said. Gregtech is the only mod that stretches out that time period between 'lone survivor' and 'god of the overworld'. For me, that is most of the fun of the game. Godmode is fun too, but id like it to be icing on the cake... I don't want to just eat icing every...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I had the same problem and only caught the guy because he screwed up. In my short time running a server I haven't seen any way to catch someone if they have OP status.

    I feel like 1.4 gregtech was the best gregtech ever.

    Ultimate, I would bet, is not the style of play that gregtech is trying to present. There are lots of shortcuts in that pack to let you bypass the gregtech harder recipes. If pulverizer a had their steel recipes for example, it would have been more balanced. I'd like to see a mod pack where...

    Anyone know why my Mass Fab would put this error into my forge log?

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Will cursed earth only disappear when exposed to sunlight, or any light at all? So could I make a room that has no windows, but put torches in it and then be able to turn the cursed earth into a spawning room grinder?

    ''Test pack please ignore'', the REAL replacement of Ultimate/Unleashed

    isn't this what FTB does though? FTB ultimate: vanilla MPS recipes, gregtech hard mode recipes. Gregtech makes quarries expensive.... aaaaand you get turtles that are just as cheap and more efficient than a non gregtech quarry. So the whole idea of putting off automated mining with gregtech...

    1.8 Vanilla Enchanting

    Where is anything scarce in modded mincraft? I would think this added cost doesn't really change hardly anything for most players, other than those playing unhinged or a similar pack maybe. edit: eh, looks like others have already said this. Would also +1 that enchanted items overall are...

    Direwolf20 - Ore density and worldgen stats

    This sounds good, 1.5 dw20 is so bad you can just hand mine and do anything you want, other than make hv solars. Looking forward to 1.6 and actually needing to run a quarry ... In dw20 diamonds spawn in clusters of 10, so if people are seeing 3-4 that's a definite drop.

    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    When a mod pack gives me many easy ways to gather resources and create infinite power generation (think forestry fertilizer dynamic vs MFR tree farms....) but then has machines that require tiny amounts of resources to build, and tiny amounts of power to run.

    Backups and Saves

    They set it up for me, but I wont know how to do it if I move hosts. ;) What made me curious is that one rep said 'its strange that your world didnt save during backup' and then another rep said it was how things should work. Thanks for replying.

    Backups and Saves

    This is specific, possibly, to Creeperhost. Just had a question about backing up a world and wondered if anyone might know how it works. If I set up backups to run daily, do I also need to set up some sort of autosave? I had forgotten to pay our invoice and the server was shut off. I paid...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Is there any reason you should not build with Seared Bricks from TiC? I notice that Rednet cable attaches to it, does it cause lag to build with it? (other blocks used in multiblock structures are sometimes bad to build with...)

    What hosting do you use?

    FTB Ultimate - A random question about ingots?

    It would be easier to just pipe the lava into the centrifuge in liquid form, then just have all of the tin you get to where you want it. Is there a reason you want to put lava into it in cells? Or... are you using xycraft aluminum to make Cans, so you can basically turn aluminum into Tin?

    So this whole Gregtech thing.

    Sounds like some sort of battle going on? Obviously greg's code that shut down the game if TiC was installed pissed people off, its too bad because he is the only mod developer that has a grasp on game balance IMO. not saying he got it all right with the manual tools and such, but in DW20 1.5...
