Goto persists in modern programming. For C and C++, you probably should still be using it for unifying error handling situations when interacting with legacy APIs. There isn't a good way to unify error handling in a way that captures local scope without a lot of repetition (if only in filling...

Put a pair of villagers next to the breeder machines with those (expensive) syringes and tell me what your face is like when you see what happens. Image macros are preferred. It is best to let your hope build for awhile first.

I thought this was fixed in the latest version.

You say this like there is evidence. Doing what you describe would be easier for the ComputerCraft maintainers and integrators. But what we actually see is quite different; most integration is done via external blocks as wrapped peripherals right now. You're attributing laziness and a desire...

The release that exists does work. It's just a hard sell now that we have AE and RP2 tubes or Infinitubes. Once you put those things together, the only thing a player could really miss is how cheap LPs were to craft. AE Quartz is the new currency.

But it's not one magic block. It's many magic blocks with a common interface and in some cases pretty expensive recipes. :)

Well, I mean it's almost already like that. It seems like the discussion comes back to the mining turtle over and over? Crafting and/or enchanting costs player food? ;) I dunno, I guess my expectations were set by LiquidXP and turtles aren't really near that level of awesome. I spy the "at...

This is less a balance and more of a nerf to near uselessness for many tasks for which turtles are the only practical solution. Unless, of course, you meant "everything" like "everything physical" and not "detecting/emitting redstone and talking on rednet" and the like. People get so caught...

I'm talking explicitly about produce farms. I tried to make that clear. Tree farms in MFR are obscenely profitable (although I suspect that the wood is the real winner).

Rp2 computers are redundant in a pack containing CC. ComputerCraft's computers are better in just about every dimension other than controlling Sortrons as stated. And this is a dubious advantage as demonstrated by their relative obscurity and the rising popularity of other mods that can do...

That's fine. A well-written Lua script for turtles is a uniquely tricky proposition because there is no way to test it well in most cases. The fact that many people write garbage or novice-quality code is irrelevant. And as a software engineer with over 10 years of experience, a programmer...

The above post is one of those "on paper" complaints. There is a whole series of youtube videos where someone tries to do this and it basically is no better than normal methods. It was called the ComputerCraft Challenge. But also, it's a cool story if you don't like writing a lot of code. But...

It's already running off a battery box. The worst was hooking the bio-generator up directly to forestry machines. My 10 block tall tank could be seen to visibly decline like someone was drinking a giant orange soda. Perhaps it's also that seeds, carrots and potatos just have crazy-low...

It is just like real life in this. ;) Welcome to my world every day I sit down to work! Only instead of a game's mining program it's a product I'm pouring my heart and soul into! People ask me why I am such a light sleeper–I tell them it is because of the perpetual fear. :D

Greg complaining about efficiency? Yeah, trust the guy who iterates to sky every tick when you build his structures the way the documentation recommends.

Yeah, DoctorOr is having great results with the tree farm. I'm converting mine over, although I actually want the wood output. MFR treefarms output wood at a crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy rate. Like a wooden chest of uncut wood every 3m or so on less than an LV power supply, so this seems like a...

Yes, thank you! I would like to reassure you that I too can read the forum post like a literate person. I tried it with every vanilla crop at once. The problem is that the thing runs so crazy-fast that I never had time to accumulate much, even with a nearly limitless supply of industrial...

It runs through material fast, but my math suggests it makes about 1/3 the output of what the fermeter->still makes. I couldn't make it energy positive even with a fairly large farm. Something that can sustain itself.

One thing that's interesting about the arcane ear is that it's range is really far. Much further than a player can hear.

Well both were terrible. I've ripped them out.
