    Since when is added complexity and difficulty more fun?

    Don't think I've ever seen a wait that long before either. I know reinforced and Galgadorian cart bases cause longer craft times but like @KingTriaxx I've never gone beyond Reinforced. I also do not believe I've ever made anything but a tree farm from Steve's carts. Some of the other things...

    Direwolf20 1.12 Modpack autocrafter?

    Wasn;t aware of a % lost then more then 4 water mills were used. Never really paid attention. I usually put down 15 and forget about it until mid-late game when I add another 15 the late game when I add a dragon egg mill.

    A Pointless Rant + FTB Continuum Currently Known Mods

    I know in other packs that is true. Continuum has it set that Bauxite only works for Tech reborn. You cannot, short of the afore mentioned % change for a small pile, get Aluminum from Bauxite in Continuum. That is unless there is a way late game.

    Since when is added complexity and difficulty more fun?

    I'm a ways into Continuum and I can honestly say, none of the Efab recipes have felt like time wasters or time gates like soe many people seems to think they would. Most of the early long recipes you come across are completely mitigated by the fact that you have a crap ton of stuff to do...

    A Pointless Rant + FTB Continuum Currently Known Mods

    Actually, in the case of Continuum, that's not lazy. They are 2 separate ores. Aluminum is for/from Immersive Engineering and used as wiring and whatnot, Bauxite is from Tech Reborn and used exclusively there for breaking down to get Zinc, I think, and a chance at a small pile of Aluminum.

    Direwolf20 1.12 Modpack autocrafter?

    @SolManX Yes, you have to have the grid power to use the upgrades. I usually assume anyone playing with EU2 toys already have at least 15 water mills at 16/ea so can power most anything. If not, GO BUILD THEM!!! Silly hu-man!

    Full List of Known 1.13 Code Changes + Some Amazing Changes

    The new Water Mechanics will be fun to play with Modded I think, though it may be a while before we get enough mods to really play in that sand box. MumboJumbo does a few really good YouTube spotlights on 1.13 water mechanics where he shows item movement and whatnot.

    Forestry Apiary not accepting Hopper for frames

    Bees have always been one of those things that, to me, are super fun... Once. I remember building all the way up in 1.64 AgSkys, then again in AgSkys2, 1.7.10. Then Going back to vanilla Forestry in one of the DireWolf packs, 1.8 I think. Since then I've avoided Bees and either skipped them...

    Need Help with SkyFactory 3 Chaos Dragon

    There is a Chaos at every 5000 block interval from spawn so 0x5000, 0x10000, 5000x0, 10000x0, and the negatives. Thou, they are harder the further out you go.

    launcher doesn't save my java version

    Launch from the Legacy Launcher or MultiMC. The Native launcher is not very stable. Causes all kinds of odd results.

    Direwolf20 1.12 Modpack autocrafter?

    @MiK3gamer you are correct, Mechanical crafter is also speed gated. You have to add speed upgrades to make it faster. Now you are talking adding 3 gold and 9 redstone per upgrade. Depending on the OPs coal income, that can get expensive. Not even mentioning if he has coal coming in faster...

    Since when is added complexity and difficulty more fun?

    Unfortunately, the line between tedium and entertainingly complex is a very squiggly thing. I enjoyed Sevtech until I got the to point that I needed to start crafting the various Hopper/Woppers and ran until different kinds of wood that are not readily available. Without coordinates or a map...

    Storage Drawer Compacting Drawer. Use a filter of some kind to only pull blocks out.

    Alright FTB Continuum

    I agree but I would argue that Botania IS one of the "set of mods that they can't seem to look past" and is a crutch for a lot of people. Having to plat without it forces you to rethink your stratagem. Much like not being able to craft tools in the normal crafting bench, other than wooden ones...

    FTB Revelations Engineer's House question.

    If you are referring to the Actually Additions machines then no, I do not believe you can collect them, but they are not that hard to craft and you can use the ones in place if you need something before you have a base setup.

    Alright FTB Continuum

    Well, I haven't played it yet myself but the EFab looks kind of interesting. I will mostly start a game once I finish DW20 1.12, my 4yr old asked me to make a Guardian Farm so it will be a bit. Even with modded clearing out the Water and temple take a while. I think Continuum has a lot of...

    Chickens, More-chickens, and Hatchery,,, too slow? or just long term.

    Maybe. I find the Chicken Ours stuff to be nothing but a stop at the frustration station. You need to lag the hell out of your game with entities or leave the game running for days to get enough output from them to be able to really do anything. Just not worth it. I'll stick to Magical Crops...

    I have noticed most mods for MC 1.12.2 are beta.

    Most likely yes, but for some reason Minecraft won't run with the current version of Java. I had to back rev 2 versions to get MC to launch. I'll try upgrading Java again once the >next version comes out. see if MC will launch and that may fix my issue. At this time though I have everything I...
