Label your alembics and have them pipe directly into the crystalizers.

I actually kinda like manual mining as well, not only is it relaxing but it is also a good way to break up the monotony of standing around your base waiting for things to cook or crafting. I say "kinda" because it turns into a monotonous grind when looking specifically for rare ores such as gold...

Im just glad the I dont have to update my 1.7.10 mods anymore.

I tweaked out the Sag Mill and Alloy Smelter and the need for the silly EIO ingots. I only use the conduits if I absolutely need to bundle up a bunch of different pipes in one block for some reason. Now the recipes use TE stuff mostly except for the more magical type machines which also require...

No I love AE2. It really isnt a one block solution mod especially if you want to do autocrafting. The channel system also offers a challenge when it comes to designing something organized and visually appealing. Unlike the first one where you could just wire everything up however you pleased...

Sounds interesting, I might need to finally update EnderIO. Although I dont really like EIO conduits.

Oh so youre living in a natura redwood? How original of you.

I was thinking of the stone variants mainly. Ticon metal blocks all look very plain IMO except for the aluminum brass one which has rivets but that is rarely useful.

Not really a fan of the TiCon building blocks, they are all basically vanilla textures.. I have considered changing the recipes for certain chisel blocks though. Building blocks are the most valuable commodity in my games, worth working for. Knowing that you used an expensive type of block to...

Scary and ugly. As for the crafting terminal, when its linked to all your stuff the ? makes crafting so much easier.

Fallout 4 for a while but I got bored with it much quicker than any previous bethesda games. Just beat Super Metroid earlier today, been playing a lot of old console games lately.

Best thing about AE in my opinion is the crafting terminal with its NEI shift click ? thingy. Not something I would want to play without for very long.

As has been said before in this thread, when tweaking a pack you need to choose a theme, establish some basic guidelines and target a certain audience because you cant please everyone. I play to build so in my build oriented pack I try to have as few one block solutions as possible. I also try...

I think its pretty much impossible to balance a pack with configs alone. And as for your comments about storage drawers, personally I think the controller block seems very overpowered. How does that even work, by magic? I am not a fan of one-block solutions to complicated problems. I would get...

This thread is full of clever insight useful for anyone who is interested in making recipe tweaks for their own modpacks. I would like the conversation to also include ideas about balance, progression, and stuff like that.

yes. Minecraft just isnt fun if your goal is to hollow out a cave, hoard resources, generate power, craft things and automate just for the sake of doing it. The fun part is in the building of cool stuff. I use mods and automation to enable almost-creative mode, and to give builds a function...

What part of my comment are you "nope-ing"? There cannot be a non-subjective definition of grind, because the point when a task stops being fun and becomes a grind is different depending on the person. Ive seen you imply time and again that you have played many modpacks which means a start from...

"No such thing as difficulty without grind" What? When people say "back to the grind" they mean a repetitive and boring task. A synonym of grind is drudge which means hard, menial or monotonous work. It doesnt say anything about choices. Seems your tolerance level for drudgery is high compared...

I think the ticon tools do a lot to make manual effort less tedious, more fast paced and fun. I use mods so I dont have to play by vanilla minecraft rules such as one block at a time, slow walking speed and having to jump all the time. I think the tech mods should be tweaked and balanced with...

Sounds to me like a tweak designed to force people to use IC2 so they can use a mod that they actually enjoy. I would prefer progression tweaks to be at least somewhat logical and this one makes no sense. Ticon has a decidedly medieval theme to it so why would steve need industry and electricity...
