The poll is missing Universal Electricity. Which is, of all the mods FTB supports, the best by far in terms of practically offering an accurate model of electricity. Even Blutricity's modeling choices are somewhat arbitrary by comparison. And UE is open and designed for inclusion, whereas the...

Yes. They're plugged in, they have power, and yet my suit doesn't charge.

Why do NONE of the chargepads work with my MPS? What am I doing wrong?

I write the following in hopes of spurring the discussion about recipe balance along. If nothing else, we could zero in on what sort of config options would make the biggest number of your users happy. You could just let someone make plugins for that. I could see people doing tons of fun...

What is? I was under the assumption we were all in the business of building beautiful, intricate things so that we could then use them to build more beautiful, intricate things. That work has value to us. And "toil" is hardly the word I'd use for builds that generally can be fleshed out in an...

I think what people get confused about is that a "stack" is not necessarily 64 objects. It's what's in the slot. But my power usage was based off doing a bit more. In a complex processing loop for lots of things with implicit autocrafting requests via export buses, the costs rise quickly. My...

Right, but multiple quarries will move in a LOT more than just one stack. And if you move things around via AE, your processing starts causing multiples of that function per unit input. Imagine your smelting input inputs it, then immediately outputs it elsewhere into ore processing lines. You...

It just uses a lot more power than you think it does. And the MJ side of the equation is slightly less favorable than the EU side depending on your power generation needs. Just process first with conventional methods then input the processed outputs into AE.

Does anyone else feel awkward having an elaborate argument about the mod author's intent when she posts here regularly? Protip: even if you don't, say you do.

The newest version of factorization has a solar solution I actually like. Factorization's solar system has always been unique, but now it interfaces with other mods and requires a bunch of different kinds of tools to work with. I just wish he would list out the numbers so I could really see if...

Just as a note, it's very hard for people who haven't used it to understand how expensive AE gets. Its idling costs aren't so bad but its I/O costs can get insane. Do NOT try to use it for quarries or frame bores or any sort of auto-mining as an input funnel unless you're the sort of person who...

Man I shoulda kept my big mouth shut. Your schedule defeats mine. Oh well, at least we're gonna share Mystcraft pages. I have "Crystal" and "Tendrils." Should be legit.

News Flash: Science Fiction is full of alternative histories using familiar names. Are you mad at Peter Hamilton for making alternative futures and pasts for the world? Seriously, man. I know your trick is being pugnacious, but this is like some kind of comical parody of indignant outrage. Like...

Alternatively, when he adds a way to use GT automation to push to multiple machines at once. I cannot figure out a way to split things up evenly among N possible targets. All GT automation is directed and deterministic. Right now a router is essential to any automated GT pipeline.

History has shown that people will, given the choice, just keep making more of those boring boxes rather than use a real power solution. It's sad, because it's possible to make way cooler systems that output more energy in less space with less cost to the server and more originality. But... solar!

Is that so? I didn't see it in your changelogs. I did try to look over them and your github. I'll regenerate with haste. I (we? you?) should bug the FTB people because every time I update I keep that config, and two other servers tracking FTB builds still have those numbers. As for the...

The lightning bolt controls if you pass power to the output side or not. The redstone torch button controls if redstone signals pause the machine or enable it, and the rectangle/2 rectangle turns on and off sidedness. Most of the time you want it off, but in some cases it can be helpful for the...

They are more expensive than a gravisuit. Realistically you won't unlock flight until you have a fusion reactor and a matter fab.

No. Solar is boring, so it should be boring to craft. IC2 power is not supposed to be free by design. Make a reactor, make a biogas farm, refine oil, use exp, etc. Something, ANYTHING. Heck, even factorization solar to a steam turbine is more interesting. Tiny boxes that output EU magically...

I am actually putting my MPS away in my GT world a bit huffily. I have fixes for a few problems, but not all of them, and with these new versions of it's very hard to not just take the easy road and use the Advanced Jetpack/Nanochest combo and those tools. Since this is actually a pretty...
