And yet ironically DW20 tends to automate and make really intense builds much more often than I've observed the mindcrack folks to do.

Why is Power Crystal Core in, but not the rest of powercraft? I guess that gets the worldgen in... It's also interesting to see PowerConverters in there given how much hate that mod seems to get from people...

In general, there are no crash logs for this. The forge log may briefly croak about the world being leaked, but generally it feels like some sort of epic losing battle of the garbage collector and the process is not responsive even to kill signals. The log will helpfully say it's so out of...

Become stronger. But also the Sorton's emulation environment is pretty buggy so don't waste your time. I know forth recreationally and I crashed my minecraft a few times with simple forth techniques that work in the real world. Weak.

It's not "OP", it's "not balanced." UE is an entirely different design paradigm with totally different requirements. Expecting them to mix well is a mistake.

Np. I spent four hours dorking with it in creative and then started a new map just to see how the earlygame was changed. And lost sleep. I figured I'd report and your test cases were good.

In some cases it can. In some cases it can't. In many cases the system you could build with AE would be better but cost a ton more energy. RedPower sorting systems except the BC engine are essentially free. You can power multiple sorting machines off one thermopile. Enderchests are safe...

It already is. Quartz is uncommon and you need a ton of it. And no other storage system on the market will sequester your items if you cannot generate sufficient power. But I still don't get why you dont' say exactly the same thing about Redpower2 managers and sorting machines and tubes. How...

And I'm not sure what "late game overpowered" means. Any system you can build with AE you can build with Redpower2, but with a bigger footprint, less energy consumed, and a greater cost to your server. I don't get how redpower's essentially free energy is not considered "overpowered" but AE's...

AE networks have an interesting tech progression. Early on, they're basically just like diamond chests that take power. You could use a small sum of preformatted ME chests as you would with barrels (tested, this works even with diamond pipes). You can power them with simple engines like stirling...

Basically producing lava with nettherack is both lava and energy positive with magmatic engines (although only just). This results in a small surplus of power and an big surplus of lava, which has many uses in Thermal Expansion. The big challenge I faced was that it was easy to amass a diamond...

They really really really need to nerf that. MPS nerfed it and it was the right thing to do. Electric tools have no business being enchanted.

It's also worth mentioning that ME chests work. So you can make an emergency ME chest and a single engine or battbox and go in, rip out your storage cells, and bring them online by hand in the chest. Everyone's FAQ's and tutorials say you need to start with a controller, but you can make a solid...

One part of AE that cannot be overstated is how clever its change to the early game is. There is a device which, if you get enough of the rare drops from relatively rare quartz deposits (the dust seems way rarer than the crystals for me) you can make a device which is a totally absurd hand-ore...

Now see this is where we take exception. You're drawing this imaginary line between yourself and your "internet presented self." Like somehow I should think of you as less of a person because you're somewhere typing words onto a keyboard. Hardening the eff up is an important internet skill, but...

If you want to gather a lot of ores you'll need multiple miners, of course. But even with the FTB-style oregen a quarry minimizes its intersection with interesting strata and maximizes the amount of nonsense you go through. With horizontal miners you can maximize your chance of collecting needed...

You should have just added the DW20 stuff you wanted into your pack. Really the only magical things you're missing is Xeno's Reliquary and Mystcraft. Mindcrack has Thaumcraft, right? Ironically you get the way cooler Modular Powersuits mod on the tech side by switching to DW20, so go crazy...

Minecraft obligingly slows down time for you as you shout, "Noooooooooo" about four octaves too low.

Last time I was there, a sign was on the wall, "Can't stop won't stop."

On my server there is a slowly growing field of water mills run by routers. Zomg whacky.
