    Quick Steam Movement with TE3, Dartcraft, and Railcraft

    If two railcraft tanks have identical fluid ids, then by swapping the lower block in this fashion you can indeed move large volumes of liquid instantly. I have been using blood magic teleposers to shuttle around liquidXP and oil and it's fantastic.

    Do You Ever Cheat?

    Why don't you just find more awesome ways to mine? You know it takes shockingly few resources to start out steves carts miners that do a really, really good job? I'm doing a private game with my wife, and I did this as an experiment (just made a tunneler that did work for me); it worked really...

    RedPower Replacements?

    I can respect them as people and believe they have a right to these decisions. I do not respect the decision itself. Most importantly, I think that if you DO happen to steward a popular mod and then decide you need to take a break, you should leave clear instructions and open source it. You can...

    RedPower Replacements?

    That is precisely not the frustrating part. What's frustrating is that lots of people want to try and equate, "The community deserves better" with "You are obligated to be their slave." The two are not the same, but people seem to enjoy making that argument.

    Why no new launcher.

    I'd like to stress that FTB is the standard of quality everyone aims for. I use the phrase "FTB quality" in the work we aim for. And I confess to being very jealous that FTB has a staff as big as they do. I think it's only in the last 3 weeks that you could build a truly stable, interesting...

    RedPower Replacements?

    More than functional, they're incredibly powerful. Moreso than older block-breaker systems ever wore. Right now the only frame-like mods really worth mentioning are MFFS3 (which, excitingly, Calclavia has started to maintain again) and WayOfTime's teleposers. They're the only things I've found...

    Redstone Energy Conduit

    Man that post your'e quoting is from May 15, 2013. It's only valid for TE2.

    RedPower Replacements?

    I think if want to give Eloraam credit for that, wasn't she basically the driving force behind the forge ore dictionary? That's a big deal. Fantastic work. Party poppers all around! I didn't say *she* failed, I'm saying she was wrong to handle her mod the way she did, because her project...

    RedPower Replacements?

    You, me, and everyone who plays and contributes the community. People who come, go, and stick around. Annnnnnd blocked. Useless discussion. You and Enig can go off and have your purity party together. I'm uninviting myself. I'm busy giving back to the community. P.S., I have 0 sympathy for...

    RedPower Replacements?

    I blame people who do not take Mojang's spirit in kind. I know a lot of developers. I have strong opinions about developer ethics. I've worked at famously closed-source software developers and still found ways to give back to the community. But in general, I prefer visible source (and better...

    RedPower Replacements?

    I am not so sure. Would it though? I mean, are you assuming a bunch of extra dev work got done? Because as it stood in the last drops I played before moving to 1.5, RP2 was a fire-and-forget power source which had a fair number of bugs involving power drain (very small drains to batteries...

    Project Red _really_ has you covered here, and it's 100% forge multipart now.

    RedPower Replacements?

    That entire network is largely replaced by Infinitubes, which by the way is a very powerful system and–come to think of it–can also partially replace regulators!

    RedPower Replacements?

    If you say so. My policy is: "Until you have coded it, it does not exist." If you release a mod, it should work and be internally consistent and work for each release. Modders cannot ship promises. Pretending that intent being there mad it any less bad as a release is wrong. Many modders take...

    RedPower Replacements?

    I'm... not sure what you're talking about. Nearly all the subtlety of Blutricity was utterly lost by a total lack of things to do with it except produce MJ, which was such an awkward way to do it that most people only bothered because they loved windmills. You can say you enjoyed maintaining the...

    RedPower Replacements?

    The regulator is MOSTLY replaced by the Chickenbones translocator OR an ME Interface (depending on if you need push or pull). In some cases, you want both.

    Too many Diamonds in Unleashed

    I've seen it. My SC2 stuff is far less advanced. My ore processing in combination thereof with TE3 itemducts is novel. We'd need a mod developer to go WAY into MC code to do that properly. But I like it. Of course, I'd reverse it (peaceful means harder mining, hardcore means easier mining)...
