    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    I've used it. It's often available after my very first "get early iron, copper and tin" mining run. In some cases I craft it alongside my first door. Usually I do this because I want Iron Armor as early as possible, but iron is often scarce and in demand early on.

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    If you need testers, I have a whole server full of gleeful Guinea Pigs who would literally assault me if I didn't ask for them. They would attack me if I didn't write this, both figuratively and literally given half the chance. Sometimes we update the modpack 5 times a week to get around beta...

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    I wish you'd make a power gen mod as engaging as Atomic Science. I literally cannot stay awake generating EU. Even most MJ methods are... pretty stale now. The entire reason I started this alternative modpack project (and committed to the CRAZY promise of keeping a server up for players even...

    To be fair, there is no way to rationally convert UE to EU. It is not possible. A single basic solar panel is a 50eu/t power source in the default conversion.

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    I wonder if this is what has been creating "no go" lag zones on our server. We've been trying to use Mekanism as a universal power source. I swear to god if that's the case I will pull all of UE from the damn pack. After the pure grief that the BasicComponents thing gave me...

    PC has a bunch of recipe types. You can change them on config. They're more expensive than vanilla. You are victim of the "FTB's config should be good, right?" fallacy.

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    I tried to pull something new and fresh in without having IC2 to fall back on. I got roped back into having it, and now we're here. There is basically no way to NOT make mekanism power gen radically overpowered for IC2 without nerfing Mekanism into the ground for all other purposes. Even if we...

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    Yeah Im really excited to get into that middle tier and youtube it. I haven't seen many videos and they should be good. I'm excited to see how Mekanism works with Wind Power. it's new and you can't plug wires in yet. I wonder if that is their plan; you gotta shuffle the batteries. I thnk...

    I still can't figure out why you wrote it. What did you expect to happen? Were you just spoiling for a fight?

    Seek humbling experiences. First humbling experience: learn Haskell. After about a year you may actually find it useful. Then you have 2 problems.

    Then you know more about it than I do. Because I can spawn it in and get the precharger to hum, but the actual laser block appears to do nothing for me. :( Still, don't sell yourself short, sir. It is not about quantity.

    Was there a point to this little screed or do you just enjoy the taste of bile? Protip: if you are jealous of someone's community, and their subsequent success and fame, then build your own successful and famous community. He's sort of right though, but it's not a modder problem. It's a...

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    Nonsense, it's nomore so than Redpower is/was. Aaaaaaaccutally the multi-furnaces from Mekanism (NEI factory) are... surprisingly rare. The closest you see is the induction furnace (2 slots) and the new steam furnace. Mekanism gives you an ore doubling system that doesn't double all ores...

    IC2 is slowly dying out ?

    The tiering of the power is such that it almost always makes sense to replicate small solutions rather than bigger power solutions. Greg only exacerbates this. It's in sharp contrast to most minecraft energy ecosystems where it does make sense to invest in the "big powerplant' becuase its output...

    I need a machine to kill an admin.

    The other way to win this is to say, "You are a dork. I will not play on your server where you have godmode and use it to kill me and I don't."

    I need a machine to kill an admin.

    You have to manually TP yourself out. It's annoying. It's doubly annoying if there are loading rails nearby that dump you back in. Typically what you'll do is is frantically hit F3 to see your coords and try and port yourself upwards. If there are teleports back to the ender lake, it's even better.

    I need a machine to kill an admin.

    Your best bet is to juggle him. In 1.5.1, if you have TE installed, it's really funny to railroad someone into a big sealed ocean of liquid ender. There is basically no escape.
