See my videos earlier in the thread. In IC2 mode it's not only possible, it's easy.

It's only not top end for extreme-high-end computation and game rendering. I need a better CPU than most do (you disagree? YOU run the scala compiler 300 times a day and tell me who is behind in the arms race!), and I find my GPU adequate for the kinds of work I do. My 2 year old laptop can...

I think the big question will be, "How good are these generators?" If the kinetic generator can keep even with me branch mining on a 50% overclocked pickaxe tool and give me good longevity running around, that'd be a good outcome. Cuz like.. diamond drills are pretty good and last a LONG time...

Yeah. Well my point was that the balance concerns between the different batteries are intense. You only need 2 elite batteries to power flight. By the way, I am not sure how you could possibly leave out sprint assist and possibly jump assist. Although it IS nice to get my fast flight back on...

If you have a reasonable supply of iridium plates, then the discussion disappears. An Elite battery is crazy-better than an Advanced one.

You basically MUST accept slowdown if you want to have power parity with even a lappack and you'd like to have any armor at all. Until you have lolmode iridium and can build good capacitors and force field emitters, anyways. I really don't understand the current balance on the power solutions...

One dumb trick appears to be building MPS with Gregtech recipes at all. It's hellaciously expensive and power inefficient. :(

Since we are well-and-truly derailed: Why wold you want a computer form factor favored by your grandfather?

I seem to recall finding via testing on our server that forcefields cannot stop decay. But I was not there for the test, so it might warrant more experimentation. Decay works by overwriting adjacent blocks, which MFFS forcefields will subsequently respect. A fortuitous outcome, I'm told, since...

So recently on our server we just 4x'd the nuclear output but no one has tested it yet. I may turn it back. I think I was listening to the FTB forums without doing my own research, and that was dumb; many people here give up way too easily. If you are in DW20, set up your biofuel steam setup: it...

Stop being cantankerous, this discussion is a waste of your time and energy. GT maintains a consistent universe that need not intersect with TE or even Buildcraft. And don't feel the trolls. That post about TE vs. GT was obvious and poorly-done trolling.

Just to note: this is not unique to Thermal Expansion. TE just gives you access to it very early. Gregtech now includes automated machines that are accessible extremely early (no blast furnace for advanced metals like steel or aluminium required) that have the same properties and allow you to...

In general the solution to this is to use a pair of iron gates and pipe wire connected by gold pipe, the one on the sending side needs to be an Autarchic AND gate. You use a condition like "inventory empty" on the receiving side to light up a pipe wire, then send that line back over to your...

Or just carry a wireless receiver. They cover most bases and are not terribly expensive.

Just to expound on this: Buildcraft autocrafters, gregtech autocrafters, and xycraft fabricators can all be rigged with ME interfaces. ME Interfaces are ultimately a LOT more expensive to use many to integrate crafting, so don't go crazy. But one trivial use case is compressing stuff...

Good to know. I'm starting to think the way I may deploy various autominer tools like quarries is to use an ME Chest as the input point. They take almost no power and then you can just slot your results cell into a processing network. You could also use an ender chest, of course, but the nice...

What the heck does the bolded part mean? IC2 can net the fastest machines by far. Between Advanced Machines and huge investments into IC2 upgrades, nothing else even comes close. And it depends which pack you're using and what mods are available. The new king of efficiency in ore processing...

You know what IC2 crop has huge yields relevant to this conversation? Redwheat. Easier to work up to than bees (although stabilizing an ideal crop is substantially harder).

Mod is WIP, etc etc. But DW20 just pointed out that if you can find an age you can tolerate being in for awhile, you can actually find forgotten libraries which are full of pages. It helps to have haste boots and flight capability.

That is the saddest thing I've read all day. That's the only reason? P.S., if you have caving and demand 100% automining you will hate applied energistics. You are probably already irritated at FTB's ore distribution system. Do you press down on your mouse more firmly? Do you make a little...
