We discussed things last night, and decided to go ahead with the project. It was choice of 1) Custom modpack and world gen 2) Tweak Infinity Evolved and use a custom map we build. Going with the second option, as that will let our players load up infinity and play on 3 different flavors. I'll...

Well, until it's time to go to work on Monday and you decide reading forums and sucking down coffee is needed. :) Maybe due to playing Evolved until 3am. I'll argue some of your thoughts on difficulty, but not much. As with many things, we have multiple definitions for a word, and shades of...

Time, or waiting, is a resource just like materials or the correct machine to process items. Adding time to a process is a bit different than just making something take more materials, or more steps. And then options to speed things up with either upgrades or with more machines also gives more...

Excellant. Thank you much for that. Will give it a try.

Not upset. I'm always confused when people use lines like "not trying to upset you" or "don't be mad". I just didn't want the conversation to go that way. Looking for specific information, not an argument over balance. And yes, draconic is powerful, but you can't get draconic for a long time...

Let me be clear, I don't care about taking away YOUR toys. I'd like to sidestep a discussion about whether each person feels they need 100 damage weapons, or hates them. I'd just like to take them out of the server I help run, and was asking for advice on that one narrow topic.

I know this will be an unpopular question with some people..but: Is there a way to turn off Tinkers Construct ranged weaponry? I'm not sure why it was left in the pack. A crossbow is the first thing players make. They range up to less than a 1 second reload with 100 hearts of damage, and...

Lasers for the assembly table? I originally was running them with a couple electrical engines from forestry off of IC2 generaltors, and now have them running on power from Waterwheels with leadstone energy ducts.

The sawmill does 6, or 5 + rubber if using rubber wood. A must have in this pack. :)

Also, a question on the Mass Fabricator, didn't this used to have a much tougher recipe? This looks like the original from way back in tekkit.

If they kept things at least as hard as vanilla, it would be ok. Instead, it's easy as hell, certainly not "expert", and players all start taking the same path. Not experimenting and learning new stuff. When every player makes a lumber axe with autosmelt for chests of charcoal, a silk touch...

Was anything done to limit the damage of xbows from Tinkers Construct? They are still brutal, with players taking out withers and ender dragon while wearing iron armor. I was sort of hoping the dragon would last more than a few days.

The lumber axe with autosmelt came at a perfect time for me. I'd made a couple IC2 generators, but keeping them fueled is using up a lot of effort. While i could do the setup for a dozen furnaces and hoppers, that's also time, and there is the loss of the fuel used to smelt the charcoal. Now i...

Eyamaz is adding something to BNB2 so monsters spawn on slabs and other "don't spawn here" blocks. That could make things fun.

A couple of things I'll suggest, as I think they go along with some of the themes in the pack: -Take portal guns out of chest loot. They have a complex recipe, but since you easily find them exploring, no one needs to make them. -Longfall boots have the normal recipe. For little investment...

We set up a server and it's had a huge number of interested players popping in, both new people and existing players. And I'm about 8 hours into it. Really enjoying it. But the sound of those ponies as we herded them into the smelter to make glue will haunt me forever. :)

And I'm a bit grumpy about restarting a server every hour, or several times an hour as players crash it by using shift/click with EE3.

I know EE2 well, that it was more broken than EE3 does not mean EE3 is not broken as well. I know why some people like it. It makes the pack easier for you, takes less time, etc. I get that you like it for that. But at the same time, understand I really enjoyed the difficulty of Banished, and am...

It was during the event that spawned a few dozen of them. The problem is EE2 is pretty basic "equivalent exchange". The idea that we are trading value for value. We aren't. The person that needs ghast tears for something is going to have to so a little hunting for them. But once you have one...

I've gotten quite a few of them off of some mobs. I think two types have dropped ghast tears, forget one of them, but the other was the big floating eyes that shoot energy projectiles. It made me risk a lot of death during an event to go hunt them all down and get 7 ghast tears. Of course, i'll...
