The flipside of this is a tweet does not a release make. Xeno publishes, Eloraam says, "My mod which is almost entirely obsoleted by the modern modded minecraft scene and its format? Yeah the permission I gave FTB before still stands. And sure, kids. Gonna upgrade." I am grateful to Xeno. I...

Extra utilities has amazing stuff in general!

I think all you need to do is have the turtle trigger something to suck the items out. That part of the reset is trivial. AFAIK, this is false. Yeah you should be throwing away most of what you get from a quarry.

For one, if your system is dropping stuff when your AE drives are full you need to consider installing overflow valves and pre-filtering input BEFORE you send it to your AE system. For real. Secondly, a combination of OpenPeripherals, vanilla 1.5 mechanics, ME Storage busses and turtles would...

Computercraft is the best way to monitor a diverse set of node auras in real time, isn't it? It would help if you actually read your thuaminomicon rather than just whine. It sounds like everything works just fine and you've decided to complain on a forum rather than read the excellent and...

Off the top of my head: Extra Utilities has a simple tubes system. Immibis Infinitubes is RP2 tubes on steroids. Buildcraft pipes with insertion pipes are now basically as good as tubes. Thaumcraft's golem mechanic is actually push-oriented tubes. In 1.5.*, hoppers give you a lot of power for...

Nether quartz is just part of what you need for AE. You need a lot of both, but more Certus Quartz.

It is insanely, crazily, outrageously fast. Only the largest frame machines could ever exceed its speed. It's also crazily, outrageously efficient, fuel wise. It is also one of the few mining systems that, when set up correctly, can run forever. It will not output continuously the way a frame...

If you want something that can be moved by a piston? Sadly, nothing. But turtles can do most of what you want.

This is a canny point. Greg's modpack very configurable. Almost overwhelmingly so. "OP" and "underpowered" and "nerfed" are complaints that only makes sense within the context of a modpack and therefore are really not Greg's problem. That said, Greg's balance considerations are so brittle...

AFAIK, nothing gives truly renewable netherrack and in recent 1.5.* packs Netherrack is MUCH less common. This is probably for the best. Interestingly, MFR gives renewable soul sand.

MPS has pretty flighty controls. I have to turn off my boosts all the time to make it through doors and stuff.

It is one of the only things making IC2 interesting.

I think the difference is more about the sense of guidance. The Gregtech progression is very clear, and some people feel very much helped by that sense of guidance.

NBT Explorer also doesn't work on mac. It's frustrating. I share your pain.

They do, but AE quartz yields are higher to picks and much higher fortune picks in 1.5.*. This is actually a pretty clever design decision. Certus Quartz is almost always the limiting factor in AE builds.

As many as you want to, I suppose. But you should bump to Fac 0.7.37 anyways, and Forge > 700 sorta solves problems.

Well, be grumpy if you want. I am just your messenger. The reason frame machines were so popular is because besides Steve's Carts, not much did what you want in 1.4.*. In 1.5.* there are multiple ways to do it, because frames are gone. I didn't mention it because it would definitely make...

No one is developing for 1.4.7 anymore save for perhaps critical fixes. FTB has a 1.5.* beta, and there are community modpacks.

I've been considering turning down the frequency in the configs I maintain, but tbh I just don't see them that often now that we have BoP working right. I see maybe 1-3 per biome and they're usually small.
