    BC conductive pipes are being changed...

    This is not TE's philosophy, implementation, or result in practice, unless I misunderstand what you're getting at. That's actually not really what conduits are about. Their design is actually very constrained around what's performant. The pipe overhauls should have similar effects. In practice...

    BC conductive pipes are being changed...

    Didnt KL say it was a datatype overflow condition that actually capped it out?

    Welp, elo's alive

    The optimization work is rough, but tbh I was pretty disappointed when I actually started digging into how people write engines. It's sorta like file systems or compiler optimizers: a lot of jargon and mystery and core mathematical concepts, but once you get exposed the space is not that hard...

    Tripling ores 152WGT

    Mostly just because it's evil-looking.

    Tripling ores 152WGT

    Did you keep a link to DoctorOr's setup from RRT0?

    Blocks that emit redstone signal

    It depends on what you're doing. A lot of vanilla redstone circuit designs that worked in 1.4.7 off that principle were broken by changes in 1.5.*.

    Welp, elo's alive

    Yeah I'm just telling people to get creative. All respect to SlimeVoid's work, but my tests worlds (snapshots of RRT1) crash a lot with that mod in the stacktrace. I've been telling people to use Greg's wireless redstone. It works. It is no coincidence you thought this: Thermal Expansion is...

    Tripling ores 152WGT

    Factorization triples ores. Gregtech's industrial grinder can also triple ores with the right amplifier (it actually MORE than triples ores, you get secondary outputs).

    Welp, elo's alive

    They do, but I certainly haven't seen RP2 in his S5 SMP. What's more, the ForgeCraft mod authors are all moving to take parts of what RP2 was into their own mods. Railcraft has a ton of decorative blocks, ChickenBones is working hard to make an open source version of Eloraam's placed/rotatable...

    Welp, elo's alive

    No offense intended, but I am a chronic license violator when it comes to the unenforcible parts, and I read code. You and your partner do good work. Some parts of Elo's code in RP2 are fantastic, some are less so. Which is understandable, but I like the work I see in your project. There's only...

    Mekanism spotlight by Lindamarica

    This is... particularly disturbing given your avatar.

    Welp, elo's alive

    Quite the opposite. I've been pretty clear about my stance. No one else reading this thread is confused. RP2 was a great mod. It's stagnant now. I'll thank her when she releases. I'm not going to wait. I'd like to play Minecraft now, and that's not her problem. Thank you for the last word...

    Welp, elo's alive

    I'm diluting the community? I could not be more involved with the FTB community if I tried. I'd have to quit my job to post here more. I've had to go so far as recruiting other people to start test servers to meet the letters of our mod licenses while. We're going to have four soon. Almost...

    For the record, I mis Xytanks a lot. I miss it more than anything from Rp2. I miss it more than I missed anything on one of my favorite mods: Xeno's Reliquary. Xytanks are great.

    Welp, elo's alive

    Called it. And btw, if Redpower 3 is awesome I will be all over it like a ferret into a pipe full of fresh meat. But I stand by my assertion that big bang mods are much harder to do now. A prophet walks among us.

    Welp, elo's alive

    I'm way more corp than you, Scrover Cleveland. I've managed to carve out something pretty damn stable. I am not very good at it, either. You should try it. Shneeky's modpack is very good and stable, as well. Whizzbal'1's off to a good start, too. And we're just DJ's spinning other people's...

    Welp, elo's alive

    She could do other stuff to: release her source with a license. Or maybe release blutricity as an API like she promised. Or even screen shots and videos.

    Sorting System for Next World

    I agree. There have GOT to be rare materials that cannot be synthesized and given how amazing AE is, Certus Quartz is a good candidate.

    Welp, elo's alive

    I've respected her contribution. Redpower 2 was great back when it was a thing. The Big Bang Mod Concept doesn't work so well anymore, for a variety of reasons. Even relatively heavyweight mods like Thermal Expansion are much smaller than RP2 and contribute to an ecosystem. The great irony is...

    Welp, elo's alive

    No, I am indifferent to Soaryn too. Although I think the dude needs to get over himself and just release more.
