Not all do. Some, though.

This is how AE does it, and it's actually really good design. What's also clever about AE is that the idling power of the system grows with the size of the network. The more things you add, the more power you need just to keep the entire system powered on. For example, sending a cable down from...

The social stigma of EE2 grew far beyond any real flaws in the mod or design. It became popular to hate. As gregtech has shown, no number of config options can combat that.

Even that is impressive. This notion of "balanced" and "OP" is so confusing to me. People flip out at EE3 wood-to-obsidian, for example. But somehow the igneous extruder which can do the same thing is wrong. Install EE2 if you want. Go for it. But if you don't have some epic builds and beautiful...

The obscene inefficiency of such systems is their own penalty. A well-designed set of magmatics can product more MJ with less work and less resources committed. I'm happy that EE's exist in their current form. It basically says, "The lazy pay dearly." And you can pay that price once you get the...

False. Only looting helps with wither skulls.

There are reasons to not use steve's carts for tree farming, but only once you go deeper into forestry. For the typical case of biogas production? SC is the winner. Funny tho, it's kind of a loser for normal farming compared to other available methods.

It seems the range of the coin when shift-clicked held is actually a tiny bit longer than normal magnet mode. Which is awesome. :)

Consider also: reading documentation for your mods.

It seems like Even they know the current system is broken. Their forum is full of people carefully asking, "What is the point of this mod right now?" I dunno why he pushed this release. The writing system is pointless if you have no symbols to write with. And other people are having trouble...

But you cannot find pages reliably. This isn't like bees or trees where you need to put in the time. This isn't like Thaumcraft where you can organically learn a system to help guide your research. This is, "Screw you. Make that stupid villager breeding contraption or don't make any ages at...

No. A properly designed breeding pod is an absurd device based on absurd mechanics with absurd requirements. It is offensive and bizarre and arbitrary. It's everything modded minecraft isn't supposed to be.

I tried. I've generated a huge sum of villages in our upgraded world and never seen a page. This may even be a bug, because my experiments with my own private "advancing" pack had pages show up pretty fast. But honestly, gating the core mechanics an entire mod on if a series of super-rare...

Make Nether portals not suck and I'll happy use the infinitely cheaper minecart solutions. I already use tank cart lines in numerous places in my builds because they're SO much cheaper. Right now using liquids is such an awkward proposition and it shouldn't be so terrible. And there should be...

The only gating power on handguns is really if you can collect enough gunpowder. Its tough to manufacture because sulfur spawning is clearly broken in DW20 (have you ever seen a naturally spawning sulfur block in DW20? I've been looking for over a month in extreme biomes and I've never seen one...

It's also worth nothing that a little bit of MJ goes a lot further than a little bit of EU. 64 mj/t is a pretty mighty sum of mj and only a few types of machines can ever actually consume that much (only quarries and extra bees machines can really come close). Another fun fact, redstone...

If you're in DW20 and you want to kill a lot of wither skeletons quickly, exorcism shots almost always 1-shot wither skeletons. You might prefer to use looting melee weapons for increased drops, but a lot can be said for just killing 16-24 nearly as fast as you can click.

So I set up a hardened drill, standard hull, liquid detecting, coal-engined, auto-railer as a test tonight. No height control, no chunk loader. I just sort of followed along with it as it tore a huge track through the world. Some observations: I gave it a stack of coal coke and played for a...

Again, if you let the engine warm up first it wins handily.

I tested up to a full stack of coal with coal engines. I saw a breakeven at around... shoot I don't have my notes, but I want to say fourty coal? That's longer than most default size quarries run by 2-3 engines take to run in my experience. I guess unless you start real high. The warmup time...
