    Help With Applied Energistics

    Any sort of sorting and providing? AE can do that well. What it's annoyed by is dribbling in hundreds of blocks you then subsequetly bamf out to be destroyed. This is why I say it's not a great funnel for your quarry. Void your cobble, dirt and gravel first. And while you're at it there's no...

    Best lagfree sorting system? Pipes vs Tubes

    FTB has a soft spot for RP2 for historical reasons. Immibis has done a way better job keeping the mod up to date tho. And RP2 has gorgeous texture work, which is a big plus.

    Powercraft: What do you think of it?

    So PowerCraft is one of those mods you can use to replace most of RedPower2. It has a pretty competent digital logic replacement, conveyor-based stuff (that is marginally inferior to MFR these days) and a ton of conveyor-friendly auto-crafters and processors. It's one of the only mods I know of...

    Best lagfree sorting system? Pipes vs Tubes

    Microblock them away. But yeah they do sort of look like they're made of Ikea plastic and filled with pearl jam.

    Mod similar to Soul Shards that isn't broken, and is supported?

    Soul Shards was so popular because it was so singularly well done. Really it doesn't have good replacements in the mod world. Let's hope the author can get things sorted out for 1.5. I'd say Soul Shards is quietly one of the more important and amazing mods out there. It offers a large time (and...

    Help With Applied Energistics

    I keep beating the drum on this: AE is easily the most expensive and awkward way to handle the output of your quarry. Use traditional ore processing pipelines and put the results into AE. AE does all sorts of amazing things and you can have it make arbitrarily complex crafting loops. It's just...

    Best lagfree sorting system? Pipes vs Tubes

    More on this subject. Some research suggests that Immibis's tubestuff and immibis infinitubes actually do most of the same things that RP2 tube systems do but with a critical eye towards this chunk update threshold. It's interesting. I'm actually surprised we don't see more people using his...

    And also: we would not be having this conversation if it was Sengir who did the modding instead of Greg. At all.

    You lose access to that part of the network, naturally.

    Applied Energistics mod

    Did your modpack change or did you accidentally remove/lose drives from an IO port? Because the cells are so small they're quite easy to misplace.

    Anyone who is given permission by Mojang to mod that work, then gets mad at someone modding them is being hypocritical and ungrateful. Their vexation can be dismissed without remorse.

    And yet this conversations persists. Those reasonable to ask of a total stranger who would simply like to have the same opportunity you had.

    gregtech block breaker nerf

    I've had a bad day today dealing with hordes of internet misogynists so I'm trying to hold my temper lest it bleed of into this post inappropriately... But I am really sick of prissy people saying modmakers somehow own the context is which their mod is used within my copy of minecraft. At some...

    gregtech block breaker nerf

    So therefore it should be a hint–unless you hold Slowpoke and the ftb team in the utmost contempt–that somehow Greg did this without editing Eloraam's code. Suffice to say, he can and he did and it never touches RP2's code. And there is a history of threatening Greg and other modmakers who...

    And in the process makes blockbreakers about 800x more reasonable for what they do.

    Reasons. Eloraam cannot legally stop people from reflecting around in a shared runtime. There is no degree of obfuscation she could add that would realistically stop it without making her maintenance work a waking nightmare. Assuming she really does start maintaining RP2 again. Greg has gotten...

    Best lagfree sorting system? Pipes vs Tubes

    While the plural of anecdote is not data, I do think a plurality of experience reports represents actionable data. And it's definitely the case that rp2 tubes have ruined our old server for a lot of people. I had to remove them and replace them. You and I don't notice because we have computers...

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    Ultimate is misconfigured worse than I thought if that's what they're actually deploying. Bug report that.
