    Gregtech Appreciation Thread

    I find myself much less appreciative of GT over time. For a few reasons: Greg's sort of paving a new path for his mod but not cleaning up the other stuff behind him. The net result is a very scatterbrained mod. For example, do I build an automatic macerator or a universal macerator? How many...

    OK I give up, what is the Bioreactor?

    I think that the space efficiency issue is worth mentioning, but that Combustion Engines output a fair sum more MJ per bucket (isn't it over 1/3 more?) I'd use combustion engines to charge up RECs to run a mining laser, maybe. The sheer number of MJ counts in big consumption applications.

    Suggest Mods For FTB Here

    I'd like to suggest OpenPeripherals get rolled into every modpack that has ComputerCraft. It's an amazing mod that makes most objects in the world a peripheral, so that ComputerCraft turtles can maintain state. It's also added "augmented reality" features. You can use Computers to paint stuff...

    Check out this new Thaumcraft feature - Thaumostatic Harness

    Why does it feel this way? This means people heavily invested in thaumcraft get flight without having to do IC2 or MPS. That's great! And I know DoctorOr is a big fan of IC2 flight, but I think it is a terrible set of controls.

    OK I give up, what is the Bioreactor?

    In 1.4.7, even the author agrees with my assessment that the bio-generator was less useful than a liquid void pipe. In 1.5.*, the Bio-generator is less efficient than the Combustion engine, but more reliable and outputs a whopping 16mj/t and does so without regard to temperature or...

    Suggest Mods For FTB Here

    I was enamored of Metallurgy until I realized that the dev team is really only working on metallurgy 3 as a perfunctory measure. They care a lot about Atum and not so much about Metallurgy. The metals are not very compatible with other machines (and in many cases the Metallurgy machines use the...

    Resonant Rise

    This is sort of a random thread that evolved. I try to keep track of it, but I suspect the moderators allow this thread to persist because it and Saice's thread are a good catchall. If you'd like to really embed in, ask questions and get answers, the Google+ group is the right place to go. You...

    Resonant Rise

    Carry on, but you're on my ignore list for being boring. I suspect you will start rivaling Dravarden for "most members ignoring" if you carry on so.

    Resonant Rise

    It's also worth noting that in many cases mod authors do not archive builds. It can be hard to get a specific version. For example, I want extrabees prerelease 3. Can you find it?

    Shoop Resonant Rise [Ended 7/21/13]

    Another idea we had was to make a cubic spiral of microblock strips and bind liquid glowstone columns inside that.

    How do i ender chest into an ME system

    The easy easy easy mode for this is import busses. Just remember to get your power situation sorted. Enjoy your easy recipes while you can. Dear lord does AE become tediously expensive in 1.5.*.

    How do i get rid of HUGE amounts of flux?

    Here's what I don't get, so maybe you can help me out. Why doesn't she have at least 8 of those arrayed down her chest like a real cat would? That said, people said Galuf's horn in my avatar is "galuf's forehead penis" so don't let it get to you. The internet is full of haters.

    Shoop Resonant Rise [Ended 7/21/13]

    Let's just all let it go, alright? It clogs up otherwise awesome building threads. I want to see Shoop build more awesome things, not talk about something that's already been resolved.

    How do i ender chest into an ME system

    You can also pipe INTO ME chests with a cell. You cannot pipe out of them.

    How do i ender chest into an ME system

    You have two options. You can use an import bus (in 1.4.7 there is only one type) which will suck items out of the ender chest and into your network. Or if you prefer you can use an ME Storage Bus. The storage bus makes the inside of the chest part of your ME network. By default anything there...

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

    I do 2 a week. I'm experimenting with the timing of the releases.

    Shoop Resonant Rise [Ended 7/21/13]

    DW20 does this because he's locked to a super-old version Modular Powersuits on is SSP series and evidently doesn't understand generators in is SMP series. You can build this system but there's no real reason to anymore. Although it is crazy "fun" learning the hard way how to make a stable...

    IC2 is missing their design lead, they're not suffering for coders.

    Not every mod is as rad as thermal expansion. For me, I'm just stoked that you can break the cube and it retains its charge. Rant: I don't care if IC2 is missing a design lead, there's just no excuse for MFSUs not to do this. Especially given that MFSU carts exist and no one finds them OP.
