Maybe, but if you look at the way the playerbase behaves in aggregate, mods that deviate too far from the meta tend to be discarded. To significantly push the meta, a mod needs to be of exceptional quality and generally engaging. Logistics Pipes was a good example of a mod that pushed the...

Are you on 1.4.7?

Make sure your forge install is up to 737. Also, that is a dev version and they don't always work. Try rolling back a few versions and check.

In 1.5.2 you can bucket liquid redstone and glowstone. I'd dump them out and later use redstone to quench lava for obsidian farming.

We saw this and were all really excited as well. It works pretty well. It seems to do the "normal" thing which is look for an adjacent inventory to eject into.

I can give you raw data if you want later on. But the difference in your strategy as opposed to KL's seems pretty obvious to me. I don't think he does it this way. If he does, please do correct me because I don't have his code in front of me. I actually suspect with work your strategy has...

This is really, really, really not true. Lots of mods have offered cheaper storage and they were passed by even though many were competent efforts. Applied Energistics is a great example: it is popular becuase it is interesting, and because it offers a very good set of design decisions and...

This is difficult to do without pissing people off because any competent profiling would expose coding details that KL hasn't made public. He can't stop us from decompiling, but it has stayed my hand from publishing hotspots. Still, the claim bears true in my testing. Aidan and KL's code in...

Could you point me to the section where anyone said that anyone else has no right to do something? This is not about rights. This is about consequences of exercising them. And if this thread is in poor taste, then surely the conversation in IRC was as well? If so, why? Why do you assign...

Perhaps you might want to explain the concrete benefits to the community, since the drawbacks have been so clearly elucidated. Don't hold back. A whole lot of people in this thread are happy to drone on about any number of CS topics at length.

It is sort of a consistent theme that proposed BC/RC changes freak out the community. Such is the price of your success. The mods you maintain are pivotal to every modpack FTB maintains, and people care about it.

I am not involved in MC modding at the moment, and I don't entirely understand why this is being done and it might be for good reasons... But I also don't understand CovertJaguar's overall motivations, nor any modder who keeps open source and 'proprietary' mods. They are literally discarding...

Wood & sapling compatibility is kinda rough right now for everyone. I think everything could be tunable around an efficiency factor. Like, "How efficient is this compared to the current values used in BC combustion engines" as determined by interrogation or something.

I sort of agree. I run my BFR off two types of saplings and I am so fuel positive there is no point in expanding my storage.

Well played, Way.Episode 19 is up, in which I Decree The Concordat and mess up on a tinker's construct sword. Starting to work on my quarry station, which I will finish next week.

Presumably by the time you can afford 145 diamonds (or more!) and some change on your power plant and and then have some way to capture that power... go for it. I sort of can't wait to see you folks get it done. I'm expecting a strange matter farm soon too!

It needs balancing. Even in FTB Ultimate it'd be an underperformer compared to boilers.

All power systems cause lag. It's inherently laggy.

They are explained and used in Way of Time's most recent youtube video featuring yours truly.

Just to summarize: PonyKuu kicked it off with, "It is more effective to drive turbines from a steam boiler piped into turbines." We realized that you could pipe steam into turbines via liquiducts. Saice's trick was, "The surface area of a reactor need not limit its energy output. It is the...
