Yeah because it's SOOOOO different from 1.2.5.

Sort of. In that TiCo is the single most expensive way to process ores effectively and cannot be automated in any meaningful way. It's actually only sorta mediocre in yield and requires time investment and can't be energy positive and... well... and a lot of problems. TiCo is not as strong as...

This is something I'm always struggling to combat with RR users. For example, the volume of people who complain, "You can't build monster spawners, lol scrubpack!" is stunning.

I'm not saying you need multiple solutions. But maybe try powering the base with something OTHER than a boiler for once? Lots of entities can hose chunks, corrupting region files. It can also significantly decrease tickrate. How about instead of making the game a series of chickenscratch...

Why do your friends like incredibly low yield and power-inefficient solutions like that? TE alone has a really interesting and detailed series of recipes to greatly increase ore yield. But as to why sorting is falling away... I think that gradually people realize the old systems allowed novice...

If you add ATG, you basically HAVE to rip out a ton of mods. ATG is so incredibly slow and got so many incompatibilities, it basically quarters your modpack for you.

RemoteIO is my new jam here. I can basically seal an EnderIO conduit to my but. This cannot be understated, actually. Once you understand the relationship between redstone and TE3 and its ore processing and power generation, suddenly the mod seems... well it seems quite intense. I really wish...

You can game manual mining like any other task in modded minecraft. It's actually one of the hardest tasks to improve upon!

I love every opportunity I get to have this video shriek in people's ears and give them epileptic fits. That is how I manually mine. Note I've totally reinvented the technique yet again to make it more server friendly (at the cost of a maximum range), and it's faster and easier now. It also...

Nope.

Huh. I thought they closed the offtopic thread and forbade its return.

I realize I've been falling behind on posting here, so let's do it all in one big push. S4E15: Magical Mystery Barf Drive. S4E16: Infinite Blood Thanks to Lucky Donors Pt.1 S4E17: Infinite Blood Thanks to Lucky Donors Pt.2 S4E18: The Most OP Mining Technique & The Unnecessarily Long Road to a...

My challenge this time around was to use no buildcraft or IC2 (or as little as possible). Thus far, I have reasonably succeeded. It's been very difficult in some cases to come up with good equivalent solutions, but also very rewarding.

In real life too. That's why we mine coal. We're exploiting the fact that we're at the edge of a long process. Minecraft doesn't model long term consequences like global warming. A tree farm in real life yields more energy than YOU put into it. Trees get energy from other places. Hence this...

"Bad?" Maintained forests are an amazing source of energy and material in real life. Why are you doing the same build over and over, then claiming the only other option is a single block that replaces the entire system? Eeehhhhhh. The laser is pretty absurd. The real power of the MFR tree...

Why does this gas worry you? Vent it to the sky, problem solved.

I suppose, to be fair, even the most balanced mods can seem unfair when you put them in funny circumstances or pair them with mods that the author didn't forsee. Taking a moment to toot my own horn... They said it wasn't "that useful" or "easy to abuse." I found a way. :)

It is too bad Morph basically breaks every mod that is based around exploration. At least there is a fair degree of risk in spamming Mystcraft ages until you're well into late midgame. Unless, of course, you have morph. It's annoying that way. And its real claim to the pack is that it can fit...

It doesn't, afaict. The revisions are difficult, you have to work them out via experimentation.

Updating out of beta faster than once or twice every month really annoys most people. And it's okay, probably. AM2 dropped right as I was doing our weekly update for RR, and tbh while the changes are exciting, some of the stuff doesn't work quite right yet. Ars Flight: still broken. Sigils...
