    What modpack do you prefer to play?

    So, I, uh... well I sent a message to Slowpoke saying, "Hey could we work on making RR a public pack for FTB since the ftb community has done so much for it?" I'm told this is how voltz came to be. Haven't heard back from him, but that's fair. Let's hope he's interested. Otherwise it's going...

    What modpack do you prefer to play?

    0.8.0 will be 1.5.2 with galacticraft and some other new stuff. Prrroobably dartcraft going in and eventually we'll ditch backpacks. Just FYI.

    Best MJ generation method?

    General the way things work with Greg is that stuff starts more expensively, you build a machine or two, and suddenly things become free.

    Ah so he did upgrade it. We built one on advancing craft and it wasn't worth it, but that was months ago now. It's more that Greg's fuel generators are a problem. Not BC. For BC, fuel is great.

    Best MJ generation method?

    It's much easier to make once you have Ars magica. You can turn cobble into redstone and then spin that for chrome. You can also make shiny metal and spin that for iridium. So... gg greg.

    Best MJ generation method?

    Except that fuel is multi-step energy generation and it's really a lot more expensive and less awesome than lava. Who cares how long a bukkit-o-fuel lasts when I have nearly infinite lava at my disposal that has a higher eu/t and requires almost no processing? I don't get it... Is the...

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

    RR 0.8.0 will be syncing with this change. Thanks! Now if only mystcraft would update. C'mon mystcraft :(.

    I wish I understood why Greg Hates Fuel.

    Working on updating Resonant Rise to 1.5.2. I think all the mods are ready now.

    By the by, add Dartcraft and get fruit juice as the throttle and you're like at 24mj/t.

    Stuck in limbo...

    Besides RP2, what isn't updated? Xycraft, I guess? Everything else is good to go. And if RP2 is gonna return, it'll probably be for 1.6.

    Best MJ generation method?

    What is pretty, build, engineered, or coded about adv solars? I have never seen a great builder use solars. That's the funny thing. I suspect this is because they look boring.

    Best MJ generation method?

    Depends somewhat on what the boiler's fuel source is. Remember: cannot be planks anymore. In any case, I've seen it done. It happened. It can happen. It's less likely to happen on 1.5.1, but still. And it doesn't matter. It is a block that gives you EU/t for nothing and it never stops or...

    Best MJ generation method?

    UU matter is trivial to generate in ultimate. You can have it within 4-6 hours of play if that is your main goal, and most of that you can be AFK. It's on par with setting up a boiler to be perpetual, really. At least, it is in 1.5.1. The new railcraft undercuts planks, forestry undercuts...

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    Shallow writing from someone who derives their self-esteem from their performance in arbitrary acts rather than in real accomplishments and true experiences. I still talk to this guy, and he makes me look cheerful. One need not apply the Book of Five Rings to all things to achieve happiness in...

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

    Permgen space can be a real problem too. Make sure that's upped. -XX:PermSize=128M

    Best MJ generation method?

    The funny thing is, Geothermal generation is actually pretty good in terms of design and effort when Greg does it. They generators have good output, the automation is not super exciting but it's a long-term investment. It's like... a process. It involves lots of mods and some thought for optimal...

    Best MJ generation method?

    Comparing just the recipe costs is totally unfair; automating a boiler solution requires player time and design effort. These put the costing about on par, given how silly-easy UU matter is in ultimate. The problem is that 4mj/t -> 120mj/t is from useful to more than you ever need. Whereas in...
