I have a question. Doesn't this imply a power loop from choked electrical engines? If you can get the efficiency at >5:2 the power bridge will be power positive? Seems that it starts at 6:2, so two iron tubes means you'll generate 2MJ/t for 4 eu/t, the converter will turn that output into 10eu/t...

ComputerCraft is a mod there for people who want to build excessively complex systems. And it can and they are usually pretty cheap. I used to believe, like you, that they were overpowered for the cost. These days I am not so sure. But do note that the very most powerful peripherals for...

Interesting. But I think as stated in the thread by others: routers will almost always win on compactness. Although there are lots of secondary crafting tasks AE is rad at, like for example crafting amplifiers for fabs and making fertilizers/compost for forestry machines. I just see people do...

This is more a question asking, "If you are not explicitly following along with the mindcrack group, why would you ever use Mindcrack anymore?" But I guess this question was unintentionally inflammatory and I apologize.

Just to make it clear because I just had this exact conversation with someone: Many machines have a peak consumption and a consumption per unit work, I think. So like, a big multifarm isn't going to permanently draw 75mj/t. My test farm certainly isn't. So it can take a lot less. But if you...

It's really baffling to me why you'd not just process (at least to dusts) before inputting to AE. Is there ANY value to adding lengthier crafting pipelines to your system? I cannot see any.

AE trades some traditional problems for a whole new set of problems and options. You now need to sustain or manage power consumption, you have to organize 1-item cells that can contain untold fortunes, you need to be pathologically afraid of creepers getting into your server room, you need to...

I don't get why someone would play mindcrack easymode when they could play Ultimate, though?

AE is in fact the best at almost everything except efficiency. It costs the most of any system listed. Although sometimes doing things "the AE way" is more awkward, and of all the systems listed only Buildcraft can build proper ring buffers. Sounds like you've got it down! The only...

How would you have time for sex when your biofuel production isn't worked out yet?

Obviously we both disagree with parts of what they said. :) I'd laugh if that worked. My hobby is laughing at the dystopian future we live in. I agree. I'm surprised you don't use BSD for the name protection. I've been forced to because people started falsely claiming my name as someone...

Probably when it becomes so good that there is no compelling reason to ever do it any other way.

Most of those I've seen use the revenue used by the defendant as the example of damages, though, right? When I went through Microsoft copyright bootcamp this was like premise one. So folks like Technic and FTB who may collect money directly for their work (e.g., offsetting hosting costs and...

I wanna really give you props for your mod. I was playing around with it last night when it hit me what it is to actually automate your mod correctly. Each step consumes 2 entities to produce 3, but you can abort the pipeline at any time and just take it to the arc furnace. So a naive processing...

It has a lot more functions than just destruction. It can rapidly build huge structures and assist in mining. And it's actual world-destroying power is quite limited unless some of the base grey goo gets loose in a chunkloaded area. Every goo except tumor has a replication lifespan. And how is...

Oh wow. Sorry to get crass, but fuck yes I am glad I read that link. I can publish this modpack I've been working so diligently on with some things I really think are needed. I've been so stressing about the lack of good logic, frames and tanks in this modpack and it's been holding me back...

These biomes-o-plenty biomes look amazing. How well does this play with Forestry and Extrabees and friends, does anyone know? I always worry about beehive generation now. One can only imagine the awesomeness that would result from adding this and UndergroundBiomes. Too bad you lose Stone Bees...

The reason you'd want to use the infernal furnace is for capturing smelting experience. Otherwise it's very difficult to make it competitive, output wise. But, as a last step in a multi-strategy smelting line it makes a lot of sense. It has a huge multi-type buffer, is very wide, doesn't take...

We're just makin do until all our OTHER mods make it to 1.5. Not everyone is as awesome as you and your dance krew.
