If he keeps the same balance he had in 1.5 and doesn't utterly destroy fuel values like BC/IC2 mods did my server is honestly considering getting rid of BC/IC2 and its mods as much as we possibly can and just going full TE/MFR/Factorization/CC for our needs from now on.

As I said in the TE3 Preview thread this is a meaningless change here's why; a 36HP Solid eats 720 charcoal per hour in 1.5, you need 1440 as of this change. I had just finished prototyping a charcoal factory that produces about 48,000 charcoal per hour consuming only 1440 of it to keep the...

Um... So... how much do the new Portable Tanks hold in them per tier? ExtraUtilities has new Drums type portable tanks that carry 256 buckets, will we get a equal tier or better from TE?

Meaningless change here's why; a 36HP Solid eats 720 charcoal per hour in 1.5, you need 1440 as of this change. I just finished prototyping a charcoal factory that produces about 48,000 charcoal per hour consuming only 1440 of it to keep the entire system completely enclosed, it never needs any...

Very difficult to say considering Peat is wildly random, I've seen blocks take under a minute or over a hour to mature.

1. I would hope so, but considering both Player and Sengir's love for 'Greging' their mods (aka needless complexity) I doubt it. CJ seems to just be going along with it, we can thank him for being the one who added configs for the mods but sadly if he just opposed this their plan would be dead...

There's nothing BC/RC/Forestry even do with lava to begin with I obviously meant IC2 is the one that nerf's Lava fuel too and if it would spread to the Magmatic Engines of TE it would be the last thing I want to see at the moment. As for 1/10th, you are correct that I'm wrong, i mistakenly...

IC2 & BC/Railcraft/Forestry cut the burn time of liquid fuels like Ethanol, Fuel, ect to 1/4, and Lava to 1/10th.

Please tell me TE isn't part of the new stupid mod fuel balance scheme.

At the rate you using oil now your constantly moving pumps even if you do find a oilfield there so much more babysitting in the Fuel system then there used to be that the Oil Ocean really feels like the only real alternative if you can actually make one (and this isn't the greatest idea either...

But why even bother making the Ethanol, tree breeding, fruit juice, the garbage multifarms ect. You could just put down a MFR planter/harvester with some jungle tree saplings and you'd have all the charcoal you needed with none of the effort for 1/10th the power used and that's considered fair...

I really really hope TE3 isn't apart of this balance deal. I could only Imagine how shit Magmatic Engines would be under this, IC2 Geothermals were cut to like 1/10 burn time per lava bucket I don't want to see that spread.

Playing with IC2 Experimental and generally not impressed, the kindest thing I can say about it is "The textures on the machines look nicer." that's about it, so much background noise too from everything nothing but noise. We had our BC fuel ratios nerfed for this? Just put IC2 in the gregtech...

Read the 1st post on the 2nd page, it breaks down the test and where all the MJ comes from to make a closed Ethanol Loop. All your doing with a sappy-ier... sapling is producing more biomass, this is a relatively small portion of the MJ. Through way more work then you'll ever recieve benefit...

...I did use bred saplings, I used Willows as per Omicron's. I'm looking at the spreadsheet right now of all the sap values of even the best tree and guess what, It means absolutely nothing. At best you only need 1 multifarm instead of the 2 I did for Willows, you still need a Fermentor, 4...

The amount of infrastructure, time and resources spent on creating a Ethanol farm & distillery or finding, transporting and refining BC Fuel are orders of magnitude above creating charcoal. If anything should have been nerfed it should have been Charcoal, I can make a 36HP Solid Boiler work on a...

Then they apparently hide it extremely well since looking at their wiki and the list of every machine and item I see nothing new since the last time I looked well over a year ago. Same quantum armor that no one uses anymore, same crop system no one cares about, energy storage and wiring is...

IC2 was basically a dead mod that's had no new content in a very long time and its supposedly the cause of fuel rebalance that's screwing up the popular active mods.

So your plan requires us to first stockpile all the Ethanol it would take to heat the 36 HP boiler to start, so we need something like 3 max size steel tanks right out the gate, then we apparently have to breed trees now so we need to spend some time doing that and finding a swamp, o and we'll...

To be honest I'm not really excited at all, there alot of highly questionable design choices in 1.6.4 from BC, Railcraft, IC2 and Forestry that I don't care for at all. Thermal Expansion which I consider to be the most important mod in FTB is changing some for the better and some not and isn't...
