    Ampz + Ultimate = AWESOMENESS

    Let me be clear. I actually agree with the basic point: lots more mods in a pack does increase its complexity and it becomes much harder to balance. I can see why historically the FTB folks have been hesitant to let the UE mods into Ultimate. Issues of redundancy and memory usage are real...

    Thanks. Hope I remain watchable.

    Alternative to wireless redstone or Redpower?

    Expensive, but Ingenius. I was using minecarts for the same thing.

    Good Starter Power Sources (Ultimate)

    Small boilers really are underrated. That said, it's important to understand that generally all the railcraft engines only work well if they never turn off. We see a lot of people make their first engine a hobbyist steam engine. This is almost never the right call beause of its...

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

    Episode 23, in which I revisit Caine and see that the Spleef Arena has come along well. I then start teaching him about the basics of computercraft usage.

    So I see this robot hand tool....

    I'm still waiting to one up you when I can do some real damage.

    So I see this robot hand tool....

    Using crates so that doesn't happen. :P Or better yet, using a real axe for a real Poppycocks.

    Ways to Automate Bee Breeding?

    If you have misc peripherals you can go to his most reason SSP series and see how he uses MiscPeripherals to do it. That still works.

    Microblocks; Good? Bad?

    AFAIK they still don't work right. They flip out every time I try. This was a simplification. As far as I can tell Facades are a rendering API for existing Tile Entities, which is why they can never end up on their own. They attach to exisiting, opted-in objects (which is why they can do...

    Ampz + Ultimate = AWESOMENESS

    I'm curious why you went with a G+ group as well. Like it?

    Microblocks; Good? Bad?

    Immibis Microblocks can't work with Thermal Expansion, but it works with just about everything else der the sun and you can even add new tile entity classes into the config file and it works. Facades work with AE and pipes and well... let's face it that IS a lot of use! :D But this comment...

    Ampz + Ultimate = AWESOMENESS

    It was relevant because Ampz + Ultimate is basically exactly what I did, with a few tweaks. Sorry, was that not clear? My post record is pretty clear, for people who want to accuse me of being constantly off-topic in the forum. I think you will find I am not, if you cared to look. Did we...

    Ampz + Ultimate = AWESOMENESS

    True. Still, at some point it stops adding value and all you end up with are dependency trees from hell.

    Ampz + Ultimate = AWESOMENESS

    There are reasonable limits. No one here is advocating we all go Plus+ on it.

    Ampz + Ultimate = AWESOMENESS

    Sorry, Freakscar. I sort of penned that in anger and I always forget your MC handle because it's almost unspellable. Remember the week when DimDoors's spawning code for monoliths was mad broken and about 2000 spawned all over RedBossRanger's base. And unless you were an op in vanilla creative...

    Ampz + Ultimate = AWESOMENESS

    I cannot hear anyone over the sound of the >100 mining lasers currently running on the server. DoctorOr runs like half of them now, right?

    Ampz + Ultimate = AWESOMENESS

    Yeah. DoctorOr, Poppycocks, WayOfFlowingTime, Saice, natnif36, EternalDensity, and ApSciMorgs (and Freakscar and everyone else I forgot, sorry!) are notorious scrubs well known for tiny and wimpy little builds. o_O You're calling about half the forum's well-known members scrubs, buddy. If...

    Ampz + Ultimate = AWESOMENESS

    You just keep making points like, "Oh man it's so bad more mods will cause more problems." But the problematic mods are already in there. Most mods have only medium overhead related to use. It's sorta shocking, I know, but... most mods just never enter onto my radar as performance hogs, and I...
