    What's the point of RotaryCraft?

    Sorry, if we're playing the "who started with the oldest hardware game" you're going to need a machine using reel to reel tape drives to beat me. Hell, my first email address? It was back when there were 3 places that could do it and you delivered the email by hand.

    What's the point of RotaryCraft?

    Sure. It's funny though. I'll let you in on a secret. The idea that kids are cooler than adults is a massive conspiracy by your parents to get you to go to bed on time. And oh god, don't even get me started on the music situation, it's hilarious to watch pre-teens talk about "up and coming"...

    Does Feed The Beast Monster work with MCPC+?

    The main problem with MCPC+ and most modpacks is that some tick handlers get doubled, resulting in very poor performance (both in SSP and SMP). A lot of modders rail against MCPC+ for introducing bugs, but the truth is that many large servers simply do not have a choice; they have to run MCPC+...

    Any good Magical Achievements lately like Witchery,Thumacraft,and other magical mods

    Do tech fusion builds count? I have a build that uses wireless redstone and witchery to recall me back to my base at the touch of a button, then copies the waystone via a autonomously activated taglock from my bed. Been thinking about migrating this to computercraft and getting a supply of...

    Galaticraft a great tech/expolration mod!

    :rolleyes: Yeah we just throw it in there. No stoppin' us. CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP. I' am actually aware you are a tester. It was unclear which mod you were talking about, so I sort of addressed both. But most mods are "buggy". They're made by amateurs with no hope of direct payout as a hobby...

    Galaticraft a great tech/expolration mod!

    The OP is a misdirected post and also is unclear. Did the OP specifically say AgS? Also, I personally think that someone as fiendishly clever as Jaded could find a way to troll us to death with the moon. Neither Mekanism nor Galacticraft are terribly buggy. GC has some performance issues I wish...

    What's the point of RotaryCraft?

    286s are very old specs of intel processors, the mistakes of which still haunt Intel to this day. They were famous for having "turbo buttons" because many programs did not take well to having an increased processor clock. I had a bootleg copy of Donkey Kong. When you hit the Turbo Button, it...

    What's the point of RotaryCraft?

    Ahh yes. It has "been awhile" "as they say." 34. I was a precocious child and my dad worked for Verbatim at the time, which was in the habit of handing out free 286s to employees with kids on the premise that it'd make them grow up to be Verbatim employees. Filthy ape! Btw the only reason...

    What's the point of RotaryCraft?

    Very old? :( I remember when I was incredibly stoked to play Hero Quest in EGA. It was SO much better than CGA! My hero's hair was no longer magenta. Holy crap EGA and Wing Commander. I can still hear the square waves.

    What's the point of RotaryCraft?

    Well, to contrast, TE3 sort of embraced that you will spam engines, and designed around such considerations. It's expected you will spam engines. Eventually Greg figured out how to get around the engine-spam problem that IC2 had, too.

    What's the point of RotaryCraft?

    I spammed them. Why wouldn't I? They're efficient and easy to fuel. I used the hydros to get started but once I could, I just started spamming the gas engines. I eventually hit a point where I hurt the server tho, so I submit I was playing in a brutal "this is SSP/Sparta" sort of style. I think...

    What's the point of RotaryCraft?

    I actually avoided doing the crossmod stuff with that playthrough. I just found gas and water engines to be more than I needed until late game power was required. And they were easiest to do logistics for. And I was able to make steel in reasonable quantity early enough and it was strong enough...

    What's the point of RotaryCraft?

    "Doing it better" is a superior condition IFF the player feels like they've earned it. Usually we call this feeling "fun". Nearly all balance and quality discussions these days w.r.t. mods breakdown along agreeing where people feel like they've "earned it." This is a fine line between "too...

    I've been helping them out ever since we took over their modpack.

    What mod causes random generation of ore on surface days later?

    The terrain looks pretty ruined to me.

    Bound Armour + Sigil of Growth + Master Orb

    Yeah, the thing about bound armor is that it's pretty endgame. Or at least, late-enough game that by that point you'd want a mob farm anyways to power your armor.

    Finding bases in ftb?

    The most common way is to look for chunkloaders. Many chunkloader mods let you list them all out with commands.

    Building a new HQM map: Crash Landings

    Far be it from me to discourage you from insanity, but I am 100% confident it'd be easier to find a modder who can help. Drop by #rr on EsperNet and ping staff and we'll see if we can connect you with someone.
