It was DW20. And I don't know where you'd dig, I used those drills to branch mine in a way that is so absurd that the only way to navigate those tunnels is with a modular powersuit, a very fast mine cart, or haste boots and an advanced jetpack w/a remote recharging rig.

Liquid tesseracts do not have a "max liquid bandwidth" as I understand them. They move buckets as fast as they conceivably can and that's way faster than the normal fluid mechanic flow rates can interact with. They have a single bucket internal buffer, but that shoudln't come into play here...

I've looked pretty hard for broken ore generation because I had a hard time with diamonds in my initial spawn. I can't see anything in the code that should cause diamonds to be less prevalent, but that doesn't mean there aren't "hidden effects" that might come out due to different biome...

Well you said something about 225 EU/t per bucket, which must have been a typo on your part. I think the steel investment for the turbines seems pretty ludicrous myself.

Yeah uh, try moving a server rack without power tools and a hydraulic lift. Heck, try freeing conveyor assemblies or even bearing tracks without a power wrench. I am not sure how you free those bolts by hand; I'm told the inset nuts are a federally mandated safety feature. Power tools: not...

I thought boiler turbines maxed out at 100eu/t?

Amazing, Vovk. One question though... I was under the impression that Nuclear was a fools errand compared to just making mad solars in terms of resource investment and risk. Does GT change that?

In our brave new Ultimate worlds, we have a mix of gregtech and TE. Gregtech also has included variants of the core machines that have automation capabilities somewhat comparable to the TE machines ("Automated ____"). Given this, and that I've built a few TE-centric workshops now, I was curious...

"Hoverlava."

I've had better results pulling from barrels when I put the marker block below the barrel. Then they don't have access to the bottom but they do the right thing. I think Direwolf20 had the same conclusion. I had problems giving them access w/out; lil' dude's pathfinding sometimes glitched and...

Yeah, the decision on which type to use and which side needs marked blocks depends on the targets. Barrels really seem to want marker blocks.

Azinor has the good graces to have an API, so GT doesn't have to do anything shady. The next best thing to open sourcing your mod is to provide an open API to help manage all your mechanics.

Thaumcraft. It's the most complete and interesting single mod. It should win some kind of design award. It's great game design. High on this list in term of completeness is Railcraft.

Ice blocks are exciting. They can also make force fields if you do it right. It's tricky to break an ice block and not have it revert to water, and the ice block is so fast that it re-hardens the wall. I think the Wither can break through it because its explosion is special, but I am pretty sure...

A hopper, an iron gate and an iron autarchic gate can also do it. And a golem can do it better than all proposed solutions. :)

Ironic update: I'm going to be going almost full GT+IC2 now that GT has introduced these conveyor modules in my current playthrough. :) But note the "GT" part of that. With GT the game entirely changes for IC2.

Dire20 is missing the walking speed boost.

Xycraft's latest update opens up some really fun and swell builds. I'm actually prepping to do a Let's Play on how you can use the new Xycraft stuff to change how you do early game builds.

Yeah I was a little curious about why that was not an option, too.

Once you get the Xycraft update you will be wishing you saw more glows. Cannot make enough xycraft machines. But short of rewriting the texture resource in the mod: no.
