    Since when is added complexity and difficulty more fun?

    Literally since life had a complex mind of any kind. Life in general "plays" because it biologically encourages us to refine the skills that might be important to us in life. We practice skills useful to our species, and in return our brain generates positive feedback so that we build on it...

    Your other problem with the MC community is...everything. The majority of your posts are inflammatory and negative in general. If you don't enjoy the community, go elsewhere. You keep repeating the same propositions over and over again, even after they're proven invalid. At this point...

    Forestry Apiary not accepting Hopper for frames

    Actually now that you mention, I've totally seen that stuff done. I just somehow never managed to use it myself (wrong modpacks) and utterly forgot it was even a thing. It looks cool though.

    Forestry Apiary not accepting Hopper for frames

    I'm only familiar with the "genetics stuff" from Gendustry really. What are you referring to? Bee breeding is definitely 100000x easier if you can leverage acceleration of some sort.

    Good. Go play a shooter. Leave the intellectual games to us. Damn. Nailed it.

    See rouge_bare's comment. Its disabled in general.

    No no. Your point is half-perfect. He's NOT saying he dislikes the EFab. He's saying, and I quote: "Having a time requirement accomplishes nothing. Nothing, it does nothing for the difficulty of the pack. All it does is make you wait, for the same end goal." This is provably wrong: It...

    I've already established that time gates are valid if they force players to learn faster ways of getting things done. The fact that you're not grasping this, or that you don't "like" the time gates, is a reflection on you, not the pack. Please generate new arguments if you genuinely dislike...

    Your "skill" stuff is just "number of steps removed" from the objective. Anyone can do anything in Age of Engineering automation, given enough time. AoE was a bit too simple overall for my liking.

    Forestry managed crop farm plant area bug?

    MFR also split the farming between multiple machines (I forget if early forestry did that. Multifarms certainly didnt)

    Forestry managed crop farm plant area bug?

    Wow, good to know. I had no idea this was a thing. Just to be clear: is this empty ring at all important for a multifarm setup in 1.12?

    Since when is added complexity and difficulty more fun?

    Interesting point. Also, for all I know, the arbitrary four-gearbox thing is configurable. I should check that out :) I wonder if the e-fab would be more accepted if it were a bonus-route rather than a solitary gate. Like, what if you could cut your resource-cost in half for, say, a Hopper...

    Unfortunately frame automation is explicitly disabled. I believe (but am not certain) that Alvearies with Extra Bees allows frame automation.

    Since when is added complexity and difficulty more fun?

    The gearbox itself doesn't bother me at all, it took no time to make it. What bothered me actually was the fact that I was restricted to 4 gearboxes (I'm a GT player...of COURSE I made a bunch simultaneously. Only 4 count) I feel like I could have been rewarded for techier play, but got cut...

    This is pretty fair. I suppose likewise, however, you cannot blame the people who wanted something a bit more "expert", which Infinity Expert was (relative to Continuum) shorter on. Infinity: Expert was a pretty great pack though :)

    Since when is added complexity and difficulty more fun?

    I don't actually recall which crowd you categorize into, but a lot of people say this when they don't respect that the progression route lies in leveraging the options to mitigate that timesink. Good expert-type packs use this tool like a scalpel: too much, and you hurt your audience. But get...

    Since when is added complexity and difficulty more fun?

    Well this isn't really logically valid: It has the upside that people enjoy using it as an alternative crafting alternative. Obviously not all people, but it appeals to some. Presumably the core audience for the pack. And in this case, its an expert-type pack which is going to be niche-y...

    What are you replying/referring to with the "new content" comment? I personally wasn't expecting any "new content" at all btw. Packs aren't expected to have new content. Just new experiences. For the e-fab: what's poorly-implemented about it? So far my biggest gripe is that you cannot...
