    Why Does Everyone Care So Much About Expense

    Runic Dust just got re-upped into 1.5.2. You might wanna take a look. Some core functions for a magic pack. It'll give you tesseract-like functionality with magical runes (and yes, it works with pipes; the pipes eject into the world on top of the runes).

    A survey about how you play- anyone can view responses (no private info)!

    I had the same problem. On bad days, I still do. Let me sympathize... On RR I am not only one of the worse builders and system engineers, I have less time to work on them than anyone. So my builds are dinky and lame. Meanwhile WayOfTime has an epic curtain of angelic light and two bases both...

    A survey about how you play- anyone can view responses (no private info)!

    Does it matter? Gregtech's design is objectively bad, and is rooted in the objectively bad design of IC2. Greg could rebalance his content, but chooses not to. Even then, his modpack is much more suited to people who prefer guidance in their play; no struggling for MC projects because Greg has...

    A survey about how you play- anyone can view responses (no private info)!

    The results make me feel less at home in this community. I won't update until they're done with it. It is precisely because I am a developer that I do not use it; my computer needs to stay functional. Even 10.8 is buggy as heck and I've been very close to having to wipe my hard drive twice.

    How do I make a new personal modpack?

    Hi Tsun. You're acting like a jerk. I'm still going to explain why no one can give you what you want, though. Because people are going to search this forum and find this thread, and I'd like to help them. I wish I didn't have to help you in the process, but I won't penalize The Future™. The...

    Advice on setting up a mod pack

    This is great news. I had a creeping suspicion that the argument is that "TE's cabling is highly optimized" and not "Mekanism's cabling is very slow." Although if it's literally recursive, I can see how that can create a lot of memory pressure, but unless you're gonna start using tick threading...

    Thoughts on MFR

    Yes. Although if you waited long enough with just external lava it'd full up the infuser's internal buffer. Also note that you don't need compressed carbon. Once that was changed the progression was possible without the UE steel recipe.

    Thoughts on MFR

    The heat generator and metallurgic infuser do not require steel to make. The heat generator can be given fuel to make to output enough energy to drive the infuser. Turns out this is Mekanism's preferred progression. It also lets you make bronze pretty early.

    Squat over one. You make a LOT of sewage. More than 2 cows.

    Advice on setting up a mod pack

    I don't mean to drive the conversation too far afield, but I'm curious about something related to your power system and we don't get to talk conversationally often. :) A piece of conventional wisdom is that "Mekanism's Universal Cable is so slow it kills servers." Everyone is afraid to use...

    Why Does Everyone Care So Much About Expense

    It is hard again because you cannot use RP2 rubies.

    Thoughts on MFR

    Man we gotta amp up the nuclear reactors on our server if you're gonna do that. A full nuclear reactor can barely drive your stuff at a reasonable rate right now.

    Advice on setting up a mod pack

    I really, really, really want to object to this. What mekansim lacks is documentation of content. But it has a ton of good content. Specialized tools, alloys, a variety of machines all with reconfigurable interface, golem-like robots and IC2-safe analogues and teleportation. It absolutely does...

    Advice on setting up a mod pack

    You should ask Shneeky. He might just have what you want already. This modlist is very close to ShneekyCraft.

    Thoughts on MFR

    Well I'm reasonably sure that BlueDart is twisted enough to help you with this. Aidan probably would be into it as well. Did you ever see this epic setup from the Resonant Rise server? Still my favorite laser rig on our server by far. A hybrid wind + nuclear power system running at sky height...

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

    Yeah I am not saying my stuff isn't too long. Or that I am mad. Maybe the numbers genuinely suggest that I need to shorten my content, or maybe it's just fine.

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

    I've noticed my average view duration is actually pretty low. I wonder what that means. Since my videos run long for let's plays and the view statistic kicks in even for small segments of time, I suspect that the "average" data is super wrong compared to the "median" data. Still, it makes me...

    Welp, elo's alive

    It would help if you had new material to contribute rather than a rehash of the existing conversation. Inasmuch as I can parse it, I agree with your opinion of cross-mod balance. Its a mod pack maintainer issue, for the most part. Big Field Mods like Rp2 and Gregtech do need to maintain a...
