I know we're waiting on exactly one mod before we go 1.6. PowerCrystals's mod is non-negotiable for us. :)

You can argue against it. It's actually a non-sequitur of an argument. "Dartcraft is overpowered in this modpack because _____" is not a complaint actually addressed by, "Don't use it!" It's an evasion. But the entire discussion is moot. It's silly. It's a waste of time. DartCraft exists to do...

I clicked "Show Ignored" and was full of regret.

It is very configurable. However, almost no one understands every config option. Greg does not document it, and he changes what the configs do over time. But that's not the point. The point is that Greg has demonstrated and reserved the right to crash Minecraft's startup sequence if he doesn't...

This is, unfortunately, the modern state of Gregtech. This is what basically every modpack featuring Gregtech has to look like to make GregT happy. We hear this a lot, and I still think it's a bummer. At some point every modded minecrafter needs to transition from "I am building machines for...

Sometimes you find souls that are the result of harbingers fighting other mobs too. Harbingers are actually pretty happy to clear out a cavern if you let them. Does FTB roll with Harken's Scythe?

This only affects people who want to play on peaceful. Before: they'd just spawn in what they need. Now there is a mechanic that lets them not feel bad for going into NEI cheat mode. This is a good feature and the modding world needs more of them.

Sure. I think DartCraft gets so much attention even from people like DoctorOr who are notoriously hardline about such issues is because in essence the mod has a lot of great ideas and features. The problem is that you can amp any one of those features to a pretty ridiculous degree and end up...

Welcome back! Calclavia and Aidan discontinued Electric Expansion in favor of a new mod. They did this by killing all download links. Have you tried universal cable? There is a weird bug in Mekanism that makes it so that sometimes energy networks break and all batteries need to be replaced...

I for one will not tolerate discrimination against leeches. That's specist.

Not entirely minecraft related, but my newest Dwarf Fortress Let's Play episode 2 is up.

Probably because the modpack team didn't know when they cut the pack that Immibis has made a reliable and good version of this mod. Atomic Stryker's version of the mod is pretty buggy. It isn't in Unhinged for different reasons.

The Pulverizer's design is a classic example of "I have one upped other modmakers by giving the player more stuff for the same amount of work. yayyy users!". The Induction Furnace is actually a way more interesting mechanic, but its returns are so marginal and so hard to automate correctly that...

The instant you stop hand mining Mekanism wins radically. Mekanism can also do it MUCH faster. It's very hard to argue against this. There are many awesome things about Thermal Expansion's design. The pulverizer and induction furnace are probably the worst part of the mod on a variety of levels.

One with very specific rules and maybe skyblocks pvp. As an event, not a week long game.

I wouldn't: Minecraft PVP is boring and terrible. Minecraft PVP is boring and terrible. Minecraft PVP is best when you have an organization of attacker and defender, or VERY tight resource and time constraints. You propose neither. You don't have the right forcefield mod in unleashed for great...

The trick is to not use the ME Interface. There is no reason to hold onto ores. What you should do is export all ores into a hopper that feeds the macerator or rotary macerator directly. Then use an ejector or a pipe to push into a nearby inventory or un-tasked ME Interface (this is usually...

Yeah. Dartcraft engines 2.5x fuel output when throttled with milk, too. MFR is a pretty strong mod. This is why I tend to turn on the TE recipes.

Mekanism has basically the most profitable and best ore processing system you can find right now. It is faster and triples more ores more effectively than any other system. A single set of overclocked factory blocks is only limited by how much power you can give it and how much flint you can...

The IC2 power ecosystem has game balance issues. But also the model that IC2 uses is weird and pays a lot of cpu cycles to be "realistic". But it's not realistic and anyone with a basic understanding of electricity will immediately find it intensely weird that infinite power can flow down a line...
