TE Integration is ongoing. Man I really want the newest version of this on my server... I wish it wasn't so hard for other people to sync in a new mod in.

You really don't need any weight outside batteries for the high-end armor.

I think the only thing I'd dispute is that the multi-tool is probably a better option than the saw and drill, I think you have a slight resource savings there and you don't have to suffer the saw's abysmal internal power store.And then your next purchase can be a weapon upgrade to add max...

Forestry is the "good" kind of passive/free generation. You can get a hands-off power system from forestry but it is generally a huge affair with lots of moving parts and typically one resource that cannot be magically automated but is consumed very slowly. You can get infinite stuff from...

Built a new MPS ion drive array into my MPS. "This should be fast," I said I took off and immediately rammed into a tree, hurtled downwards, and died. "It is fast. Ouch." Best part? I lost the boots and their brand new thrusters in the crash.

So we were talking in my other thread about MPS and how it'll have thermal expansion support and I decided to show off the stupid rig my current powersuit is. It got me thinking, this is a totally new armor toolchain and I am sure there are lots of silly things people can do with it. It deserves...

Just keep your boiler in an enclosure that endermen can't fit into. I've sheathed mine in a tight shell of construction foam to keep the grief at bay.

Or, you know, the forestry+railcraft route people love to go. "Solar" for MJ power systems is just "growing trees". Lots of people like to use Steve's Carts, Railcraft, and Forestry to accomplish that goal. Basically the game is: find a renewable source of biogas, refine it to biofuel, have...

Well a more prudent man would have tested in a test world or bought the 100% fall negation upgrade first. I do not appear to be that man.

Sure. Here is a video of a slightly more ambitious test flight. By the way, this setup is by no means cheap, involving 6 ion drives and four servo motors to achieve this effect (providing no defense or power storage, just dash and propulsion). And if you don't have some way to land safely...

By the way, I just wanted to post a little video of something related to MPS. I finally got my full thrust system (and most of my forcefield and power system, still waiting on a bit more iron) and I don't think people realize how fast this thing can get when you combine both drive systems. So...

I dunno how I feel about its alchemy yet. But its handgun system seems really cool and I love the Devil May Cry feel of that part of the mod.

Yeah I can see that. But we haven't even talked about Xeno's Reliquary yet. :)

Okay but... Direwolf20 pack. And I still suggest you'd be better off with a quarry for that. Or an Arcane bore.

Look dude, the question is not, "Is IC2 awesome?" It is awesome. Mad props to IC2 etc etc. It's more about the specific set of mods put together for this specific modpack. If we were talking about Mindcrack, this wouldn't even be a conversation. Of course, Mindcrack people decide to comment from...

Horizontal is great, it's what I use for mining. Long range is only good for grabbing glowstone before you can fly, as far as I can tell. And the DW20 has other better long-range options. I just think it's way way way edge case and even then not very good as opposed to just firing up a quarry...

I dunno about that. The scope of your resources dictates the scope of your builds. See DW20's current workshop build on his Season 4 SMP series; they're still constrained for resources even as they build this epic mystcraft-derived workshop at the end of the universe. They're still finding new...

Just an aside, UHSH works with MPS components. Tested and confirmed. A good enchant set on a wand of excavation blows away most uses for the mining laser. I've never really seen a point to scatter or explosive modes. I feel like you may not know what you can build with MPS yet. MPS does...

It's part of the new mystcraft system. Congratulations, you can now make worlds with wasteland biomes.

I think the costs are roughly equivalent, because you consume lots of resources to make the UU matter (recycle from a quarry or just huge quantities of lava, or complex and expensive reactor designs, or lots of steel for turbines). But most of the cost in the current recipes is for absurd sums...
