    A REASON to have Roads

    I think you need a lot more heat shielding now. I really haven't tested how it interacts with active cooling. P.S., where I gimped myself was using a stonebound binding instead of paper. I should have gotten the extra modifier rather than stonebound since, at the end of the day, these tools...

    A REASON to have Roads

    So I'm happy just to repair the tool. You're using IC2. DoctorOr said he was using moss. My testing found moss to be stupid, stupid slow so I can only assume either that got way amped or he knows something I don't. I even heard people on FC2 grousing about how insanely slow it was. We're also...

    A REASON to have Roads

    Relevant fact about TConstruct stuff: You can get Fortune 3 on a tool faster than the advanced diamond drill that is IC2 powered. Another relevant fact about TConstruct: It does have silktouch now. Yet another: Auto-smelting and fortune combine to let you fortune ores right out of the...

    A REASON to have Roads

    I am glad it worked out. Honestly I had my reservations about TConstruct as well, but it seems to be another one of those mods on a meteoric ascent. I'm kinda happy it's a lousy-but-functional ore doubling method, to be honest. It's not fun enough to be something I do all the time, but I do feel...

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

    It is. Let me show you a respectfully "whimsical" way to do it. Congratulations. You are the first person in the world to recommend cygwin un-ironically. Ultimate Hipster Award: Get! Hamachi. And that's not right; it's quite different.

    A REASON to have Roads

    It was clearly a bug, but it was pretty clear to the community that the mod authors did not want it to work. That's where I personally draw the line.

    A REASON to have Roads

    It was labeled as such because everyone wanted to shut it down but most people didn't know how, and the forge authors agreed it was a bug in how forge worked with the anvil. There were a ton of anvil bugs involving the anvil in the 1.4.* versions of forge. They have been fixed. So yes...

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    Nope. You're good. You're actually one of the few mods outside the UE cabal that actually uses rational values for UE power.

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    I mean, I agree in principle. It's just that actually it's surprising what is NOT consistent with the minecraft universe. For example, why do we need to refuel engines ever? Coal burns forever even though wood does not. So really what we want is Star Trek (TNG, naturally) consistency, which is...

    Forge: My list of grievances

    I got like 77 subscribers. I feel like a king. Take that, society's notion of celebrity.

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    It worked for hand-coded cases. I was gonna provide explicit timer and delay blocks as unique primitives because, uh, there are a lot of funny designs in 1.5.1. The Graph reduction is easy if you just have functional blocks, obviously. What's slightly more complex is creating shared anonymous...

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    Yes. I introduce MFR Rednet in ep 8 to make a standard latched piston door and show how you can do a single block t-flop and I compare it to the equivalent vanilla logic. The application is trivial, but it's mostly so I can refer people back to it as an introduction when I start making more...

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    Wow. A novel automining/spontaneous-materials mechanic? Holy smokes! Does it produce all ores or just vanilla? It'd be slick to pull copper, tin, silver and lead out. I haven't re-generated your configs since that and I didn't see an ore list when I last peeked. Sir, I will have both of these...

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    FFFFFFFFF. I literally do not have time to be a good employee, a good husband, a good dog owner, a modpack maintainer, a server maintainer, a minecraft payer, and an informed minecraft netizen. My life is too small!

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    How do you even know this? I literally installed this like 3 days ago and I searched the last 10 pages of his forum thread for details.

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

    Don't be a dick. It's contraindicated, but if it worked it addressed their specific problem. Surely it wil not work in general though. SSH connections will only have higher latency than a pure tcp socket. P.S., do you use SSH a lot? Does console lag bother you? Do you hate losing connections...

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    I'm still confused how if there are 2 blocks that can do something with the addition of nothing but power is plausible, then a single block that automatically does the same thing with power is implausible? :D I'm also confused how it is plausible that cobblestone becomes liquid obsidian. It's...

    A REASON to have Roads

    1.5.1 has got some AMAZING mods. But I do not, *cough* pity anyone for not being update don a game. But I have to admit I am pretty sad I spend many hours a week on my modpack but only a handful actually playing, lately. :( Man I am so glad I haven't built a mining drill. Tinker's Construct...

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    I will gun it down if it ends up being a problem. So far it hasn't stood out as a particularly bad citizen except in that if you power IC2 storage with it it's way too strong. What's funny is if you power GT machines with it directly... I think Greg is doing more here than he let on, like his...
