    Ampz + Ultimate = AWESOMENESS

    The thing is, man. Most of the most egregious performance hogs I can find are in ultimate. So if anything, this points out that Ultmate could go further. If your machine can run Ultimate, tossing Mekanism on the pile will probably improve performance because you clear out all those crufty IC2...

    Ampz + Ultimate = AWESOMENESS

    Let me look at my spreadsheet. At 120, most of our crash problems come for 4 mods. Over 70% of all bugs I have are in 4 mods. One of those is industrialcraft. One of those is DimDoors. One of those is Mekanism. One of those is Tinker's Construct. My point was any given user might be using...

    Ampz + Ultimate = AWESOMENESS

    I have a Gregtech technic instance for testing. It works fine. If Greg is blocking techniclauncher, he's doing and uncharacteristically poor job of it.

    Ampz + Ultimate = AWESOMENESS

    Yeah. Uh.. I am not sure if they are right about that. PermGen space has to be upped no matter what, and their launcher could easily do pack specific memory limits. I doubt that's their actual argument.

    Ampz + Ultimate = AWESOMENESS

    It ends really fast or drags on interminably. It tends to be like real life: the first striker has an incredible advantage. Once you get MFFS up, it's a clear winner.

    Ampz + Ultimate = AWESOMENESS

    They really are fun. It's even more fun to make your base TOTALLY impervious to missiles (AE makes this insanely fun).

    Ampz + Ultimate = AWESOMENESS

    This is not our experience. Just so you know. In fact, a lot of my users report that diversity is profoundly appealing in a server environment because of a few key features: It provides a "play at your own pace" feel. It offers experimentation and novelty. You can do a project 3-5 different...

    Choosing a mod UI?

    This is actually one of the two big reasons Galacticraft is not on Resonant Rise. I didn't find a solution when I investigated a month ago. If you do find one, let me know please.

    Managing liquids with AE

    Yeah I've heard this is actually in the near future.

    What do you guys think about Extra Trees?

    Tree breeding is vastly simpler, faster and more reliable than bee breeding. In the new forestry world, you don't even need seed oil to start. So I am all for decorative blocks that are easily accessible.

    What to use to stop mobs from entering?

    Ladders too. There is a certain je ne sais quoi about ethereal glass, though. It's neat to see spaces bigger than 2 wide blocked off from water but permeable to players, and clouds lack that...

    Computer Craft

    The grinder is superior in all aspects. There's 0 reasons not to go with the grinder. It's not like you're not going to be setting up power ever. The CC version of this farm is awkward and ineffective compared to most other options, by my reading. The MFR stuff is not "cheap" in the sense that...

    What to use to stop mobs from entering?

    Vanilla one way doors still work.

    Computer Craft

    Or you could just use MFR. Which is what everyone does on all the RR testing servers. Cheaper, more reliable, easier, more options. It is not that big a deal. There is ONE outstanding issue with Dartcraft, but BlueDart is gonna clear that up and PowerCrystals is routing around it anyways...

    Computer Craft

    Most people's complaint about CC is that when someone else does the work noobs can pastebin it and this makes some people uber mad. Most of the other complaints are nonsense. Turtles are usually the hardest solution for any given problem. They see slightly more use now because of the absence of...

    Applied Energistics - Multiple Wood Types

    I guess I was either wrong or have hit a bug. I'll confirm later. Ty for the reference, DoctorOr.

    Applied Energistics too fast for autocrafting

    There are things that are only possible to work around with the addition of very new mods. And in many cases it's not worth the trouble. Converyors and Item Routers are insanely cheap and Item Router builds can be incredibly compact.

    Applied Energistics - Multiple Wood Types

    I'm pretty sure I have an oredict pattern for cobble. But I could ONLY enter it with NEI Addons. I can check later today.

    Applied Energistics too fast for autocrafting

    Incorrect. Not with AE in mind, the changes predate AE. You will run into the same types of problems automation potion creation, and to a lesser extend tesseract and REC creation.

    Applied Energistics too fast for autocrafting

    This. You need to set up separate factory pipelines for everything. Set up one TE pipeline for ore doubling upon input, one pulverizer for just pulverizing what comes into an interface, and one furnace for just smelting what the interface wants to smelt. AE automation has a lot of...
