Thanks a lot for your replies! I don't want to use any type of resource generation (oreberries, MFR laser) yet, because I am still somewhat new in that world and I like my mining to actually show what it's doing. I think I will use tunnel bores, either railcraft or steve's carts. It's something...

Hey everyone, I like automating stuff, and I like to have an automated miner do some work while I am away doing something else. However, in my current world, I am kind of lost as to how to go about it. It seems I can't find an interesting, scaleable solution. Up until now, I have always used...

I can confirm, on Magic Farm 2, processing sugar yields apple jelly

You could try the single player commands mod: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/94310-162-single-player-commands-v49-official-download-spc-noclip/ It's not exactly creative, but it offers an infinite health command.

I agree, in part. The thing is, I don't think you have to "work" for resources. What you work for is advancing your project(s). Survival structures this work in a different way than creative. As long as this structure remains intact, there is, in my opinion, no inherent problem in making certain...

Well, I agree that what I said is not related to IC2 specifically. It's more a general statement about the resource-doubling mechanics of mods and, by extension, modpacks. It's not really that I want IC2 to give me a certain experience. It's more that I think that the mechanics IC2 (or any other...

Of course, but that is beside the point. I use punishment as the opposite category of "reward" here. If you say it "rewards" certain behavior, that is exactly what I meant when I stated it "punishes" other behavior. To get it out of the way: Minecraft is a game, games are a useless waste of...

What is the argument against infinite fuel exactly? Is it that every process must include at least one manual step? Is it that there is no reason to use finite fuel solutions? Is it that a particular infinite-fuel solution is boring? All resources in minecraft (and certainly in modded...

The punishment is that you are getting less value for your time, i.e. your ores. That, for some people, me included, leads to the described bad feeling. As I said, the game is not forcing you to double ores, but it is rewarding that behavior with increased efficiency. Which is, in my opinion...

The Problem with making any resource-multiplication method late game is that it prompts you to hold on to your resources until you have acquired the method. That means you are encouraged to focus everything you do on getting to that method. I would say this is an undesirable effect in a sandbox...

So, does TE 3 currently offer any way to pump liquids (notably lava)? I could only find the aqueous accumulator, which is not techincall a pump. If not, is this a feature that is envisioned, or are magmatic dynamos supposed to be dependant on manual refueling?

Thanks for this very insightful post. I feel you have described the issue nicely. IC2 just doesn't offer this experience on it's own. The endgame of IC2 is creative-mode armor and creative-mode resources. But that only makes sense if you have a project that requires creative mode to be...

Recently, I have been playing around with a bit more of a hardcore/survival aspect in my minecraft games. Consequently, I have been dieing quite a lot, and kinda found the minecraft death mechanic somewhat lacking. It alternates between being somewhat irrelevant (dieing in an accesible area...

Thanks, that was very helpful!

Hi everyone, I've been playing Minecraft for a while, have played Tekkit a while back an quite a bit of FTB. After pausing for a while, I wanted to get back to M inecraft, and since I have about explored the heavy tech direction of mods, I wanted to start with the Magic Farm pack. Now I am...

Has anyone figured out a good way to have the same machine process different Recipes (say electrum and hardened glass) with just one interface without the possibility of the two recipes mixing and crashing the entire craft process (e.g. you get 1 gold and 1 lead ingot in your induction smelter)...

Care to elaborate that bit about the configs?

That doesn't work in a multiplayer environment. The default pack is also the server pack. Changing the servers from default means players need to take action to alter the game, or are expecting features that aren't there. Neither is good for having a big audience for you server. Therefore, the...

Some new information: There is now a Mystcraft Hub which players can use to access random ages to collect pages. If a faction wishes to use their ages to create their own Age, they can do so for a fee of $ 1.000.000 (in-game currency, gained via the jobs plugin). Faction-specific ages will be...

So the value of energy is based on the MassFab, the one machine you only use when you already got everything else and have too much power? Unless everything else also got a lot more expensive in terms of energy, 2-4 of these things can power a workshop quit handily. Anyways, I think the issue...
