    GregTech Thread?

    No you don't understand. You do not understand. Even throttled down to 5 mj/t, the machine will explode.. You need to stop providing it any power at all or it will blow up. Think about this for a second. This means that you have to use a sticky piston or something to totally remove the...

    GregTech Thread?

    If you want to regain your rage, check out how he has machines consume MJ. They never turn down their "energy requested" but instead light on fire and explode if overprovided. So you must have some sort of shutoff logic for MJ powered machines or they wil blow up spectacularly. On the plus side...

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

    Thanks. I don't always do a good job on the NEI part due to ordering and sometimes staying up way too late to find time to get this work done. But yes, it's a huge amount of work to get the modpack ball rolling. I've started compiling this. It is not done yet. If you wanna rock that, it'd be...

    Indeed. If you haven't played with that yet you're in for a real treat.

    It is slightly better, but it's trivial to make power loops. Why does it matter though? How is an essence loop mechanically any different from a frame quarry if both take similar effort to automate? The big difference I see is that the frame quarry produces more varied resources per second but...

    And note that the big frame machines are pretty rough on TPS. The bigger, the rougher. They are also totally unavailable on current versions of Minecraft that have been out for months now.

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    Cool. We're still struggling with just balancing on the knife edge between 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 for now. Oh, and "UE quality". Just some funny feedback, some of us have actually been using our powersuits as generators. We basically run around damp biomes and charge our systems to max, then dump...

    They also are much less expensive for client rendering.

    ExtraBiomesXL vs. Biomes O Plenty vs. ? (for 1.6x+)

    Probably a bug or omission w/ the integration.

    The Tips and Tricks for AE..

    I love this. But also: wait until you have RedNet PRCs to add in for control. That in addition to comparators and hoppers means you can actually trickle exact numbers of objects into a system and even easily track exactly how many objects are in a processing pipeline in a way where your...

    ExtraBiomesXL vs. Biomes O Plenty vs. ? (for 1.6x+)

    You can still find tconstruct slimes. They appear in a few biomes. The Beach biome appears frequently and offers vanilla generation everywhere.

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    The guidelines I got were that you should only override the minecraft.jar with your forge minecraft. But that was informally back before the TL folks had written documentation. Btw MM, can you send swift kicks of hastening justice over to your friends on MPSA? We're stuck on a build that...

    I imagine this'll throw a wrench in most technic launcher distributions though, no? I've had bad experiences trying to overwrite the platform-specific binaries with technic in the distribution zips.

    ExtraBiomesXL vs. Biomes O Plenty vs. ? (for 1.6x+)

    There are more things, too. For example, Jungle biomes have new spawns; Jungle Spiders. They are smaller and faster and tend to run in packs. They're like the mine spiders but I don't recall them being poisonous. In general BoP adds a ton of stuff and works pretty well with Natura.

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

    I was goingto do this update pre-1.5.2 this weekend. If you tell me what ID you used I'll preserve it with you. I think this is because we're waiting on a forestry update. Yeah it has to do w/ Forge, I think.

    My tests are in 1.5.1. I'll redo them, I suppose, when I update SC2.

    ExtraBiomesXL vs. Biomes O Plenty vs. ? (for 1.6x+)

    One of the reasons I like Biomes o Plenty is how totally weird and surprising the Biomes can be. Out exploring last night I came across something right out of Narnia.

    By the way! Resonant rise has a custom cape now. :) Not bad, eh?

    It doesn't work on all wood things though. For example, MFR rubber trees.
