    Redpower 2 future in FTB?

    I am pretty sure they were not talking about stardust. :)

    Confessions: I never ... even though I'm told I should.

    This is just common sense. :) I regret even my time in test worlds making those farms. Cool code, bad game design.

    Holy hand grenades massively OP

    I'm still not sure how it is somehow easier to make than a vanilla diamond sword, which can be extremely strong and used many times and requires a mere 4 diamonds. Even by EE3 standards, the Diamond Sword is cheaper.

    Ladders!

    I think this information is less confidently taught now. It turns out we really don't have a good handle on obesity, diabetes and the specific preconditions for each. In fact, both may even be spectrum disorders masking a family of diseases.

    Yeah. There is always that "then do not use it" retort. I felt this way about EE2.

    Crafting recipes that you hate

    Conveyor Modules from GT. FFffffffffffff those things.

    Confessions: I never ... even though I'm told I should.

    I never ... understood why people would say this while also holding redstone wire in their hands. :D Think of ME Cable as bundled cable for tubes. You should try building and using a big AE system in a survival game. You will see what I mean when I say that you exchange one set of problems for...

    Ladders!

    What provides those? I've never actually seen one? Oh it's an IC2 thing. Nevermind, mang. The odds of IC2 being in RR are pretty low given how well-trodden that mod is. Even Direwolf20 can't sell it it's so stale.

    Does anyone else have MFFS 3.0.0.18

    I would stay away from the mod until it's done with the transport. The entire mechanic for Force energy is being rewritten. It's one of many problems the UE pack has right now. Like how Mekanism is outright broken right now and no one seems to want to take the blame. :(

    Confessions: I never ... even though I'm told I should.

    So, with the 1.5.1 update looming we've got all these mods we're waiting for, and mods we're eager to work with, and mods that maybe we're happy to see leaving. Since it is a time for reflection on our packs, I thought maybe it'd be fun to talk about the mods we know we should use, but never...

    Ladders!

    I too have this setup, although I color code them. You know what I wish I had? An _attractive_ block where if you fall on it, you take no falling damage for a really extreme distance. I'd love to have a spiral staircase up and a fast fall down that was is water. I don't get how people use...

    Holy hand grenades massively OP

    First of all, it is not a mod's job to be "balanced" in most cases. A mod cannot be unbalanced or overpowering in the absolute sense. They all torque and break vanilla and that's the only universal reference point. So your argument is, "Xeno's Reliquary is unbalanced in this pack...

    Hobbyist's or TE steam engine?

    It depends on how you mine, but it is not as common as tin. It exists in a smaller range and in smaller veins. You can see it in the config/ThermalExpansion.cfg packs. It probably won't stay there for long, though. Metallurgy 3 is out for other packs and I think that King Lemming is moving this...

    What do I do with all this aluminium?

    For Gregtech, Aluminum is a valid substitute for refined iron in a lot of recipes which can save you a lot of resources (since GT wants you to convert a lot of iron directly to refined iron then use it to produce steel). For Xycraft, you can use them to do a few things: If you have sulfur on...

    GT Distillation Tower

    Do not get excited. Check the energy cost compared to what you can get back from it. Compare that to other methods. Greg really seems to hate fuel for some reason.

    So... Why are the Voxel mods in FTB anyway?

    Yep. It's social, not technical.

    So... Why are the Voxel mods in FTB anyway?

    I am not sure how long that can persist, though. One of two things is going to happen: The costs/devtime will add up such that FTB has to monetize (or take a ton of donations?). The site, launcher and modpacks will be neglected such that no amount of community awesomeness will fix them. Have...

    Is there an objectively best power source?

    That's the thing. I know what you said. It just never did anything. It was powered, connected, and stocked. All the GT automation seems to work about 40% of the time and then just stop working. I know it has like 60sec sleep periods, but on our server even after total re-installs and config...

    Is there an objectively best power source?

    On this, we did this on AdvancingCraft and I have only ever run tiny thorium reactors. Mainly because automating them is extremely difficult right now without going hard into computercraft. Supposedly the GT regulator can do it, but I could never get that machine to do anything. It was even less...

    Is there an objectively best power source?

    I feel like these numbers do not line up with the words you used above them. One's gotta be wrong. Did you say "quadruple" and mean "double?" or did you say 1600EU and mean 3200EU?
