    Automated Mining in Horizons

    My bad then. The husher is a pretty good block, though. Very fun to use. Fairly involved and good returns.

    Automated Mining in Horizons

    That said, doesn't Horizons have SC2? It's bar none one of the most straightforward and effective perpetual miners in the ecosystem.

    Automated Mining in Horizons

    It's really not so bad the EngT deploys them. We're not talking about propagating the flow across a lava sea here. We're talking about a 5x5 space.

    Direwolf 20's Season 6 Lets Play

    Pretty much everything. I use Dartcraft in my LP because it's the less powerful option. I've been using my blood magic tools more and more, tbh.

    Direwolf 20's Season 6 Lets Play

    You do not know very much about modern Dartcraft, I think. TiCO tools are substantially better than dartcraft tools now. The only place where dartcraft is a clear win, and that's with the lumberjack axes. Blood Magic, as well. I can only assume he objects to the concept. Curious since so...

    I like my old IC2

    You really need to calm down. You're hung up on nothing. You're letting your primal loss aversion take control. Look at what it is. Not what it could be or what you want it to be. Reactors now have new rules. They're harder to use. But they also have huge benefits for using them (free infinite...

    You could make that EU before. So you don't do that. Why does this bug you? I don't get mad that TE3's engines only differentiate on efficiency. It's a design decision. And one that more faithfully models electricity, to boot! And it shakes up the nuclear design community. Efficiency per fuel...

    My Resonant Rise Let's Play (Resonant Rise Modpack)

    S4E14: "The Boiling Blood Hyperspatial Drive" Turning down your graphical settings is pretty much the only option I've found to work. And avoiding expensive blocks like liquid translocators and other complex particle emitters.

    I like my old IC2

    Still not sure why transforming and splitting the power isn't an option. It costs diamonds? So what! I got 3 stacks in my AE and I'm not even trying. Diamonds aren't a thing.

    I like my old IC2

    ... I read your post and was going to fisk it, but... I decided not to. I'll state this really simply: I've done the math really carefully. In RR, the only reactor type to not be amped substantially is the IC2-2 reactor. IC2-2 power is quite good if you leave your baggage behind and do what it...

    I like my old IC2

    I'm not sure what value people derived from the old IC2. Its power system was preposterous and awkward. Its early game was terrible. It had no late game, except perhaps crops. I think the taste here is for the familiar. A taste I can neither sympathize with nor entirely understand. Old IC2 was...

    Unless the packs are pretty sparse, you cannot. Embrace change. Novelty is the most noble pursuit of humanity.

    Why put news on twitter, reddit but not the main page?

    What just happened? Nvm.

    I like my old IC2

    Incorrect. What's been fixed is that goofy idea that a single wire can carry infinite power. And this also addresses problems with wire resistance that the old model forefronted. You can use an autocrafter with a forge hammer and pay a material tax, or radically overclock and energy upgrade a...

    I like my old IC2

    I think it's really sad that this is the feedback the IC2 project gets after FINALLY producing new content and working hard to address a lot of the longstanding issues. Let's look at a few: The power system: largely fixed. The new power system is simpler and more predictable. It makes...

    Quick Steam Movement with TE3, Dartcraft, and Railcraft

    I consider Extra Utils to be a title card mod. If you ask me what defines a good modpack, ExUtils support is on that list. It has some arguably OP things (Drums really change the landscape of fluid storage and as far as I know they have 0 downsides) but just the decorative blocks and excellent...

    Quick Steam Movement with TE3, Dartcraft, and Railcraft

    Like Drums from Extra Utilities? For what it's worth, it only works between tanks that both hold the same type of fluid. And quite frankly, you almost NEVER need it. I only did it in my world because I have T4 blood magic and therefore can automate tank splicing. I had the option of doing it...

    Gaming multi-blocks is what cross-mod interaction is all about :)

    Quick Steam Movement with TE3, Dartcraft, and Railcraft

    It is ridiculous to imply that the force wrench is OP. MANY mods off this now and in fact, DC's version is substantially weaker than other effects like the blood magic teleposer. We're about to double the capacity of tanks in railcraft, btw, to keep them up with power creep. We may do more than...
