    Do you think IC2 is dead?

    No, you did. EE2 was not creative mode and I think you know better than to jump on that bandwagon. Aside from that... It is weird how the community cannot agree on costing for item transport. Immibis's infinitubes are middling costly, but very very powerful. Buildcraft tubes are dirt...

    Do you feel that applied energetics can ruin some of the fun?

    Nothing stops you from making processing and storage outside of ME cells. In fact, in the case of processing you are rewarded; AE is actually pretty bad at processing systems. For example, AE has a hard time "splitting" outputs in such a way that you keep some stuff for storage. A good example...

    Redpower Replacements

    It's not usable for multiplayer servers, unfortunately. Cool mod, tho. Interestingly, "More pistons" can actually be used to make small, narrow frame platforms.

    Do you think IC2 is dead?

    It is not a good sign for IC2's health when its build server and primary download point have been down for days with no sign of that being fixed in sight.

    Redpower Replacements

    This is not the topic of this thread. Go start a unwarranted flamewar elsewhere, please. I hear the technic forums are dry this time of year. People who want bugfixes, substantially improved performance (client and server), and new content. When Elo releases, it will be delightful. Until...

    I think we can do better than Direwolf20

    On point 1, incorrect. For a variety of reasons, that is a pretty lousy lighting solution. And done to death. On point 2, he's stuck in 1.4.7. Correct. The turtle is just there to be a compact deployer+breaker.

    Microblocks; Good? Bad?

    Both popular implementations of Microblocks use tile entities. Facades are not.

    Insert 150 slowclap memes here. I think he's bored and trying to keep the series afloat in hopes of a 1.6.0 transition.

    Do you think IC2 is dead?

    By the way. Your explosion solution. I did one of those thins where you laugh and clap a whole lot? Delightful solution.

    I think we can do better than Direwolf20

    It's actually a really big set. I was shocked to learn this, as well. Computer programming is completely disjoint from gaming.

    I appeal to the betterment of society. Let's give every kid who learns to program infinite minecraft diamonds. Real life will be made better.

    Looks like we have a replacement for Xycraft Fabricators

    Yeah well that seems fair. Xycraft tanks were always about more convenience and better max volume. Now they're just about more convenience and more automatability.

    I think we can do better than Direwolf20

    Allow me to sit upon my throne of bone and blood, the great gears grinding behind me driving a world-ending clock as I look upon the world in disdain and prepare to destroy it and pronounce, "Try learning an actually novel language, not a recapitulation of a half-dozen successful languages...

    See that video I linked. I love it.

    I think we can do better than Direwolf20

    Well you do wanna clear wrath lamps when you're not using them because they inhibit crop, tree and plant growth. The road lighting wouldn't quite do it either. And of course the fuel restocking on the other side. At some point this build is at least as complicated as a quarry. I don't get...

    4 steel around cobblestone, which yields 4 tank wall blocks. 4 steel around glass yields 4 of the glass. 4 steel around a control circuit yields 1 valve.

    I think we can do better than Direwolf20

    Well I mean, he built a rig in RP2 for the lighting in about 30 seconds while talking about it. He could have EASILY made it work, but it was huge. It's all but impossible to make a more compact rig. His pack literally does not have anything except turtles that meets the requirements...

    Looks like we have a replacement for Xycraft Fabricators

    I have yet to find a maximum dimension. But like Xytanks, 1 cubic meter = 16 bucks and the frame doesn't count.

    I think we can do better than Direwolf20

    Mods cannot be OP. It literally is a nonsensical statement. You can only be OP relative to something else. Please, what are they OP compared to? For most tasks turtles specialize at, there are seldom good alternatives. Turtles are mediocre quarries by my math, and generally more effort than...
