Name two?

By their actions: They're working to add a ton more biomes and integrate other stuff that BoP already has. They're behind and they know it.

This thread needs to die. There is no more competition: ExtraBiomes XL has admitted they're behind and they're totally reworking the mod and adding Underground Biomes just to keep up. You use Biomes O Plenty right now. Not only is it the more feature-laden mod (with such things as specialized...

Greg's new redstone logic stuff is a rare case of a total mess from him, by the way. Usually his messes are on the design side. In this case it's also on the implementation. They are unreliable and not to be trusted. Hopefully he'll fix them up.

And while Saice was doing that, Poppycocks was busy showing off his new Dartcraft toy. I think he cut down the world tree. It was so horrifying I had to add an evil soundtrack and a voiceover.

You can definitely do alkahest stuff with Applied Energistics. Just tell it how to craft redstone using cobble and alkahest, and it'll do the rest. It handles items with durability and saved nbtdata just fine.

NEI shift-qmark-clicking combined with Applied Energistics's crafting terminal... it pretty powerful in 1.5.2.

MFR supports the ore bushes now, so they're a decent way to mine passively. But they will not respond to fertilizers, so the only way to speed then up is a fairly massive area. MFR systems slow down and cost more energy the more you upgrade them, so its never going to be competition for the...

I'll be more interested in Electrodynamics when they implement some of the stuff they've promised. Right now it's not a very useful mod.

Heck, if you'd prefer I can give you an up-to-date world snapshot. Be aware it's freakin' huge. But because our world has evolved over 3 versions of biomes o plenty, I'm afraid the seed does not recreate our maps. My personal favorite seed is: IAmBadAtSeedsFolks, the latest config pack and...

What I see from left to right on the back wall: An iron chest on top of a vanilla hoppper feeing into a Pulverizer. Presumably, this is for special jobs because its output (on the left) sorta is isolated fro the core of the system. I see a Liquid Transposer and a Magma Crucible on top of the...

You know that these folks are straight-up trolling you, right? Like you in particular because of the Omni Wrench kerfuffle. Greg seems to think that because he's the only thing really propping up IC2 right now that everyone else needs to dance around his notion of "balance." I hope mDiyo doesn't...

Sauce is not using any texture pack. Most of what you see is Mine factory Reloaded.

Cost. They're useful in the early game. Also, they've gotten less absurdly bad in 1.5.1. Still worse than conduits. But they don't blow up at 90-deg turns quite so often anymore.

I actually did a thread like this once when I started playing FTB and I realized something since then: There aren't good answers! For a few reasons! For one, what you happen to find strongly dictates your best early form of power. If you happen across a walnut tree sapling in a dungeon, or get...

Just wanna point out, it's crazy to see Shoop keep a diary like this. I hope in a month I can come back and read the whole thing.

For one, the magmatic engine will throttle down but never stop. For two, on chunk boundaries weird things will happen still.

The information here is wrong, by the way. Just for anyone who finds this necro'd thread. Magmatics sleep because their power buffer overflows. This actually can happen in lots of situations and just because a conduit is there doesn't mean it can't happen.

Mostly because that functionality exists in other mods, and is a little too strong at the start.

Now you've got me curious! Most OpenPeripherals support calls seem to be "read only". It still cannot replace an expensive inventory peripheral. So it lets you read and visualize data, but doesn't let you "do things" without the normal additional peripherals. What can you do with just OP that...
