    UU-Matter Problem

    Don't be fooled by my words. I am a jerk and you should join the ever growing crowd protesting for my downfall.

    IC2 Advanced Machines

    Um, the packs offered by FTB that have Advanced Machines have GT too, so... It is not that big. Especially given how compact infinite water pipes can be now. Liquid Void blocks from xycraft make this fun and cool looking, btw. :) How is it different from any other sided machine to...

    UU-Matter Problem

    Welp here we go. Why indeed? An exceptionally expensive item and unless you have an auto-book-enchant system or EnchantingPlus installed, very hard to make it last a long time. But yes, Pickaxes of the Core are amazing. It's a shame about the increasing costs of repair. Addenda: And you do...

    Steam turbine?

    100 eu/t is a lot of power? I'm pretty sure that the steam turbine is a trap unless your nuclear reactors are outputting steam (or maybe with this new stuff from factorization? I've heard numbers from 1mb to 10mb per mirror per tick... the former is significantly less compelling than the later)...

    IC2 Advanced Machines

    The compressor is awesome. The rotary macerator is somewhat less so. Ironically i think these machines are way less useful when Gregtech is missing. Automating them without something like sneakypipes (which GT has) is an exercise in frustration and eye gouging. But seriously, why would you...

    Applied Energistics autocrafting

    I'm pretty sure that an export bus can create a crafting request, because recipes can have craftable dependencies. So export to an intermediate chest then re-import. Just be aware that this makes AE substantially more power hungry. But, AE is really not a great solution at the mouth of your...

    Mods decided to make it impossible to make solar power!!!!

    Thank you for the excellent example of why so many people do not play with nuclear reactors. The community is really obnoxious about design one-upsmanship.

    Most Powerful energy source there is?

    Just to give you a bit of a primer (since I've been checking this out recently too): basically the reason this works with GT installed is because of thorium cells. Thorium and plutonium are basically what make nuclear power viable right now, and if you do a 2x or 4x to the output config on your...

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    I'm sorry. It must be done. Interesting, because that's definitely Not My Experience™. Right now (because of GT recipes) I can't put an ultimate battery in my primary game's suit and so I've had to turn the pickaxe speed down. But when I had it on max it was as fast as my efficiency V...

    Mods decided to make it impossible to make solar power!!!!

    Actually, this really isn't the problem. Many games (like Portal) accomplish this and really rendering your geometry again doesn't have to be rough if your engine is set up right. Having to render a slice of the world into a texture across two blocks like portalgun does is the problem...

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    At max overclock it's about the same as an efficiency V pick. Enjoy your enchanted tools while you can. They will be nerfed soon. The IC2 folks seem to believe it is not intended. You can hear people making fun of this fact numerous times on DW20's SMP series. I'm amazed they got Scala to...

    Ironically, late game with GT iridium can be easier to get.

    Mods decided to make it impossible to make solar power!!!!

    Are we talking about anything anymore? I cannot tell. Maybe it's because I'm having a bad day, but it really sounds like you're mad and you want to yell at the void at this point. Which is fine. I don't mean to say, "Your feelings are invalid!" Just that I dunno how much more blood you're going...

    Mods decided to make it impossible to make solar power!!!!

    Yeah it's pretty slick how easy it is to make a 1 block LV power source with thorium. The worst part of the cost is ~3 stacks of copper.

    Mods decided to make it impossible to make solar power!!!!

    Make. A Nuclear. Reactor. You can make LV nuclear reactors that are not insanely expensive, require no iridum, and require no temperature regulation even without GregTech installed. A solution is right there, waiting for you to enjoy implementing it.

    How to generate 512 EU/t

    The Sortron can. But... the sortron is as awkward to use as it is buggy. Can't Factorization also target inventory slots specifically?

    Sorting Techniques

    Building materials, fabricators, valves, liquid detectors. Building materials in particular are expensive. Especially shields, which I've been using extensively for their superior blast resistance compared to traditional reactor casings (and becuase I've yet to invest in Thaumcraft in my new...
