This is not really why people play industrialcraft. But you could just, you know, remove NEI. Yeah well he IS going to replace it with a more activity-oriented thing. But I've watched most of DW20's Season 4 where he played with Thaumcraft 2. Holy smokes is TC2 a billion times more...

Here's the lowdown: For medium-to-small builds, UE cable is more performant than any cable but perhaps Thermal Expansions conduit. The actual performance difference in small networks (5-10 clients, a handfull of producers) between TE and UE is minimal. It's much more efficient for servers...

Try Ars Magica. You can discover spell recipes by experimentation.

Because it's extremely, extremely, extremely lazy game design. Rather than just make things more expensive, add more things to do. To me, you play a sad version of minecraft. Very sad. There are lots and lots of constraints on Survival. How much things you need per machine in just one...

Fair enough. I find it boring. Not boring in the sense that it takes more time, but boring in that it's just some more silver blocks that introduce nothing new. Take Blood Magic for an example if you want genuinely novel and useful content and mechanics.

Not that stuff we explicitly rejected from GT. That is not what we were asking for.

Could you stop giving merit to the idea that GregT's designs in any way reflect realism? It's starting to get really old.

There is one tech mod that could be exciting... Well a few. Electrodynamics has a ton of promise if its team can execute. The resurgence of Logistics Pipes is totally great, but I'm surprised they aren't 1.6 yet. Emasher's work for 1.6 sounds amazing, and I'm hoping he pulls through the...

Except that this is total nonsense and the voltage regulators, fuses in the power supply, and internal resistance of the battery will generally just require you replace the power supply at worst. Modern computers are designed to work with current from your wall, and there is a pretty significant...

Do. Not. Want.

Who wants this, actually? I see this argument on the IC2 forums like its axiomatic, but outside of the GT thread I see very little positive feedback on that.

Saice is humble. Which is good, this essential design is so well-known even I've seen it before. That doesn't make it any less awesome. It's actually a very good, inexpensive, and simple gold generator. It also generates a ton of liquidXP, which can then be turned into mob essence for a ton of...

So reset your map. What's the big deal?

It is actually not so bad. DoctorOr went over it with me. I am sure he can comment more on the affects, but it does a few things like encourage the use of bee boxes early on to build up drone stock (only queens are affected by the nerf, I'm told, and they don't die in bee boxes). But for us...

There are a lot of mods that do this now. Immibis directly re-implemented this.

With Logistics Pipes back in the mix, there.. um... really isn't much left to RP2, is there? The thing I miss about RP2 was the pitch-perfect feel of the T1-T2 progressions and the really fantastic textures. But in terms of builds I can make RP2 was not ever a necessity and now its item...

Sorta. Forestry farms are a lot more efficient at the highest ranges, so that's something. Funny thing about Forestry's recent changes to the sapling->biofuel production is that the base level was a tiny nerf, but the ceiling was actually raised. If you want to build out for maximum power per...

Because generally what "OP" means is "unfamiliar" or "meta-changing". We shouldn't ask, "Is this so powerful it changes the meta?" Instead we should ask, "Do I like the meta I end up with when I add this?" The modded minecraft meta is a 2-way street. People want those supertanks because of the...

Tinker's Construct certainly asks if we can be interested in liquid alloying, so there is that. You could argue the motivation for keeping the metal as a liquid is increasingly heavy-handed, but it's tricky. THe problem is to increase the storage density we need to start making hyperdense...

You mean to say, new liquids in general are a passing fad. Unless we're going to pretend random lakes of poison and unhelpful spa water are not tiny liquid anthropomorphs riding a motorcycle jumping over a shark.
