    A moral dilemma - was I right or wrong

    Single. If you didn't see it, you weren't looking. It was like that for weeks before our last map reset. And across all we had major expenses for steel tank blocks, too. Fun stuff.

    A moral dilemma - was I right or wrong

    It never, ever, ever showed up on our tick profiles on our server, you know? If it's slow, I sure don't see it. You know what frequently ended up with individual blocks taking 2 full ms per tick? Alvearies.

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    It doesn't work on BoP wood, Forestry Wood, Signs, Chests, Cables, etc. It is basically useless as it stands in most of the packs it is put in. 9 times out of 10 when I want to use it it doesn't work. I carry an iron axe with me and uninstall the axe module because it's not worth dealing with on...

    An out of the box approach...

    Immibis's microblocks are generally the preferred offering these days.

    A moral dilemma - was I right or wrong

    Does building sub-optimally justify that behavior? If so how? Do we now penalize people not as good or experienced at Minecraft as you are? "I wouldn't have stolen your stuff if you had hidden it better" seems to be an isomorphic statement.

    A moral dilemma - was I right or wrong

    This is not the issue at hand though. The issue is not, "Can someone do it?" but rather, "Should they." The problem is not that someone can.

    An out of the box approach...

    I'm thinking about 1.6 for you w.r.t. to world fluids. The overhaul is massive and will result in a ton of new mechanics coming into play.

    An out of the box approach...

    Mostly what you lose are "if this then that." Infinitubes, AE, and EU all cannot meet this need. For example, "Only generate more fruit juice when the tank is 90% empty because it decimates my apple supply to do this and I need them elsewhere". I know I am sort of, well, vain about my builds...

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    An axe module that works? Seriously man. It's been outstanding for months now. It can't even reliably cut signs. But also, integration with Extra Utilities sonar goggles.

    A moral dilemma - was I right or wrong

    What the players were actually doing was the problem. They were sitting on top of someone else's quarry as it was running. They would wait for it to expose ore, then mine it out. I'm reasonably certain this is unambiguously grief-y enough to be clearly defined as griefing. It is not like...

    A moral dilemma - was I right or wrong

    Ban anyone who says, "The rules technically say..." These people are toxic. Rules for games are there to be obeyed in spirit.

    Nominations for Forum Moderators

    There is a policy on every server I run. Every time you ask for ops, you don't get ops for a month. People who ask for authority instead of demonstrating they're worthy of it almost never do a good job.

    They really can't do things like, "Start producing things when this is below a certain threshold. AE basically has no good automation primitives at anything less than "full throttle."

    An out of the box approach...

    Redstone is a massive elegant system that was desperately lacking 2 components. Comparators fufill most of those functions. The only thing out-of-place is that it's 2 components instead of one.

    Autarchic gate > Pulverizer input overflow

    There really isn't a way to do it optimally. You can use "Inventory Empty" > "Energy Pulsar"

    An out of the box approach...

    My immediate thoughts. These are negative, but I am taking your idea seriously and I think it could work. Gates enable a lot of good automation. Automation no one else can really do effectively. You don't see it too often, but it's there. Gates enable a lot of "intelligent" systems. Redstone...

    [1.6.1] Nothing Matters; Alchemy, Transmutation, Automation and a bunch of other stuff

    This might make more sense. Especially if they are a free, implicit chunkloader that works only so long as they have moved recently.

    [1.6.1] Nothing Matters; Alchemy, Transmutation, Automation and a bunch of other stuff

    I'd love to see what you do with it, sometime. I keep asking to see people's effective Railcraft usage. I've never once seen anything that is not, "I use a tank cart to move biomass or biofuel." Literally. Seen 4x examples of that. Please do show off!

    [1.6.1] Nothing Matters; Alchemy, Transmutation, Automation and a bunch of other stuff

    I ahve tried so many times. It's a more expensive, less useful, more error prone, more likely to need crazy sums of chunks loaded way to do everything. And it actually does very little. I wish I didn't feel this way because I love vanilla minecarts.

    [1.6.1] Nothing Matters; Alchemy, Transmutation, Automation and a bunch of other stuff

    Do you seriously use, say, minecarts? I wish I could bring myself to. Railcraft seems so torturous.
