    Most efficient way of making Fart gas without huge mob "generators"

    I am not sure anyone knows this offhand. Please do investigate!

    Automating Implosion Compressor with AE

    It is interesting that you're using MFR item routers as a kind of cheap diamond pipe. It actually looks pretty good in the context of gregtech. Fun story: item routers can suck entities from on top of them if and only if they have an explicit route for them. That includes objects on MFR...

    What to do in FTB?

    I wish I could just understudy with Sjin foor a few weeks to get a sense of how to make beautiful builds. The technical side is no issue for me and I love making automated things, but I get frustrated at my lack of ability in making a place "pretty."

    What to do in FTB?

    I was bored with the let's play episde I was cutting so I took a break from building to make an RFID & piston door lab for my lab floor was even done cooking. It is awesome. I can't imagine how people have problems coming up with super fun things to do. Heck, with New Redstone and MFR's Rednet...

    I'm sorry to sound impatient, but...

    Probably not. Aluminum is something of a super-metal, and it represents a major stage in human industrialization to have it.

    What to do in FTB?

    Build something awesome. Seriously, I'm starting to get a bit depressed by how many people feel bored after making all the machines that they can from a mod. Like that was ever the point!

    Why I play Minecraft...

    It sure doesn't stop us. If you use CoFH world (and most everyone on 1.5.1 should be unless they enjoy really poor integration) then all base metals can be fabricated. If you use Forestry and ExtraBees, then every gem can be fabricated. Ars costing of blocks is based off vanilla rarity, so for...

    Why I play Minecraft...

    Thorny concepts like "progression", "balance", etc. For example, do you feel like Ars Magica is breaking your game? It does almost everything EE2 did that people considered bad. We all seem to be enjoying it.

    Steel Dust, what is it good for?

    So given all this, why did you suggest there was a progression that was being broken?

    The lag - I hate it. Tips for lag reduction?

    Letting anyone you do not explicitly trust in your private network is dangerous. Many who read this forum have no idea how much so. Opening a private network is not something just do because you want to solve a lag issue. I realize that people just want to go for a quick fix but seriously this...

    Most efficient way of making Fart gas without huge mob "generators"

    It's a gregtech thing. You can centrifuge meats. And the answer is a vanilla piston spawn farm, isn't it? Zombie flesh is valid and pretty good source of this, right?

    Steel Dust, what is it good for?

    You mean "if unconfigured." Greg's default setup is some very bad ideas including a very awkward machine for making steel and a preposterous cost for ore doubling. Who cares? "Progression" is a weak concept bolted onto a very robust sandbox game. You know what also utterly shatters Gregtech...

    Steel Dust, what is it good for?

    That's Universal Electricity's and Gregs steel recipe. Greg's default config nerfs steel cooking.

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    Leap into the lava. Laugh. Edit: be careful though. I did this in the Nether. Bad news, ditching heat passively is hard there.

    We should be able to ride in pipes.

    Just an FYI, you can ride MFR conveyors and they can do 90% of what pipes can do, with easier material requirements. They're really fun.

    Problem with MFR tree farm

    I am sure the folks who maintain your server cannot wait to hear this story. They will play a million tiny violins for you.

    Forge: My list of grievances

    This is totally wrong. What it assumes is that there is an actual "right" and "wrong" in this scenario. There isn't. Viewed from a certain lens Forgecraft is an exclusionary club of modded minecraft kingmakers. They don't necessarily want to be that, they didn't necessarily mean to be that...

    A REASON to have Roads

    That makes sense only if you know what your minimum permgen size should be. For a minecraft client its probably more trouble than just enduring a pause during startup to settle at a good number.

    A REASON to have Roads

    Either you misunderstood CPW or he is kinda wrong.

    A REASON to have Roads

    What's funny is that this is actually internally consistent with minecraft's physics. In MC energy is obviously not conserved.
