Don't install Advanced Solars and Compact Solars. Problem solved. Compact Windmills, Compact Solars, and to a lesser extend Advanced Solars are bad design even if they are good coding policy. When GT is installed but Advanced/Compact Solars isn't, a popular strategy is to build a reactor to...

I'll believe this if I see it. I see no real problem with nether pumping. And even if they do turn it off, it is actually a better plan overall to quarry the nether. Yeah, but it's default. Basically he lowers the cost of cells. This is not as awesome as you think it is. Most of us don't...

Interestingly, you can satisfy this fairly easily if you have newer betas of minefactory reloaded installed. AFAIK, the mining laser can produce IC2 uranium.

In my mod selection, "Does it have awesome blocks to build with?" is super high on the list. :D

I'd con CovertJaguar to change boilers so they're not wildly out of balance with the rest of the MJ universe. Gasp. Yes. I said it. Boilers: their efficiency curve is too sharp. And their overall outputs in real server play? Too good. Maybe back before everyone chunkloaded everything that math...

Yay we get it omnomnomnom so good. Oh Yusunoha, you should try this mod. It's so good! Nomnomnom. Come over here I'll share with you! Nomnomnom. Srsly. Why are you waiting? The new ultimate is good.

You know what? I've come around on these farms. I think they've been tweaked to where they're good. And weirdly, they seem to function really well with trickle power.

Actually for where I live it'd make huge sense. The house i rent sells back solar to the grid over 50% of the year. Our water heater is gas, but our washer/dryer machine is a DC conversion job. Crazy huh? We even have big batteries because the owners of the house, "Didn't like the brownouts."...

It travels fine for house-like distances. It'd be a lot more efficient if we used a single high quality rectifier at the point where our house join the grid. Good Transformers and Rectifiers are quite expensive. We just experience crazy sums of lossage these days with all the lousy rectifiers we...

A few machines use 240v. Nothing uses 480v but some power supplies use it. I think it's a longstanding curiosity that the particle accelerator uses 120v. I think this was done actually to require you to use superconductor wire. In real life: I suspect tho that lots of people wish we weren't...

Basically everything uses 120v except batteries. That is the rule.

Uranium bees and a solid reactor design can compete.

Thanks. Hopefully the series stays interesting over time. You've got about 11 hours of footage to go through. Tell your friends to watch too. I'm not a great builder, but I do like high complexity miniaturized builds and showing off new mod features. Skip to episode 14 to see my showoff my new...

MineChem has MAD drugs if you want that. MineChem meth is frightening to use.

Lambert's on the RR test team and we, unlike FTB until quite recently, have properly configured MPS for months. And you may not be aware, but the trickiest part of current MPS is that the heat gain and loss rates are biome specific. Hot biomes like deserts and volcanoes (yes, BoP has volcano...

You can sorta make an argument that MPS is "OP" in that if you ignore the cost, it ends up as a WAY better option than every other mod in most packs. It cannot compete with tools from Tinker's Construct. It cannot compete with Ars Magic infused armors in most cases (except that it can fly in a...

Episode 15 is out! I need to get another RedNet rising done soon... Also, crossed over into 200 subscriber territory today. Horns: deployed.

They're not forbidden, they're just not explicit. 0.8.2 was a real train wreck because of all the Ars bugs. 0.8.5 will have another config release. People seem to be saying ars is doing way better. We also have a new extrabees drop.

It is retired for good. And we generally are very close to up-to-date except when we have good reasons not to be (for example, Ars Magica, MFR until last night, Mystcraft still not being ready).

They can take up to 1024mj/t. Which is a LOT of MJ. Their output is pretty damn epic though.
